A high degree of selectivity is required during the plant extraction process in order to obtain extracts enriched specific compounds or avoid unwanted ones. Rosemary well known for its antioxidant (carnosic acid, carnosol and rosmarinic acid). The also contains pigments (i.e. carotenoids, chlorophylls) which may cause a colour problem use extract cosmetic formulations, example. Supercritical fl...

the aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial activities of some medicinal plants extracts traditionally used in iran. hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from different parts of five plants including rosmarinus officinalis l. (rosemary), syzygium aromaticum l. (clove)., arctium lappa l. (burdock) , coriandrum sativum, myrtus communis with traditional medicinal use were examined for their ...

The lessons learned during six years of experience in design, development, and operation of four Science Gateway (SG) generations motivated us to develop yet another generation of platforms coined “Rosemary”. At the core of Rosemary the three fundamental SG functions, namely related to data, computing, and collaboration management, are integrated together. Our earlier studies showed that comple...

Active packaging based on chitosan (Ch) incorporated with six different natural hydro-alcoholic extracts (HAE) (rosemary, green tea, black ginger, kenaf, and sage) were developed tested to extend the shelf life of fresh poultry meat. The quality meat packaged was assessed through physical-chemical microbiological characterization over 15 days refrigerated storage. In vitro antimicrobial activit...

Acetone extracts of selected plant species were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a noncancerous African green monkey kidney (Vero) cell line and an adenocarcinoma cervical cancer (HeLa) cell line. The plants studied were Origanum vulgare L. (Oregano), Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Upright and ground cove rosemary), Lavandula spica L. (Lavender), Laurus nobilis L. (Bay leaf), Thymu...

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) extracts (RE) are natural antioxidants that are used in food, food supplements and cosmetic applications; exert anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperglycaemic effects; and promote weight loss, which can be exploited to develop new preventive strategies against metabolic disorders. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the preventive effects of r...

This study is intended to prevent ochratoxin A (OTA) production by Aspergillus carbonarius S402 using essential oils (EOs) and total phenolic compounds extracted from plants and herbs. The EOs used in this study are the following: bay leaves, cumin, fenugreek, melissa, mint, and sage. As for the phenolic compounds, they were extracted from bay leaves, cumin, fenugreek, melissa, mint, sage, anis...

The toxicity of eight botanically based biopesticides was evaluated against third instars of the scarab larvae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Popillia japonica Newman, Rhizotrogus majalis (Razoumowsky), Anomala orientalis Waterhouse, and Cyclocephala borealis Arrow. Soil dip bioassays were used to obtain concentration-mortality data 7 d after treatment of larvae, leading to the calculation of LC50 ...

Cancer cells display enhanced growth rates and a resistance to apoptosis. The ability of cancer cells to evade homeostasis and proliferate uncontrollably while avoiding programmed cell death/apoptosis is acquired through mutations to key signaling molecules, which regulate pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. Compounds of plant origin, including food components, have attracted ...
