Ultrasonic assisted extraction using green solvents such as ethanol, water and hydro-ethanol (50/50) have been used to evaluate the separation of bioactive compounds from Annona squamosa (Custard apple) leaves. The investigation Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy is being characterize substances. hydro-ethanolic extract rich in carboxylic acids, phytosterols sugars arabinose, xylose galact...

When harvesting corn, corn silk was discarded as waste, including the compounds isolated and identified from such flavonoids, sterols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, organic acids, volatile oils, trace elements, multivitamins. It not only pollutes environment but also wastes resources. In this paper, extraction methods commonly used for extracting flavonoids were reviewed, reagent method, enzymati...

Poly-L-α-amino acids have various applications because of their biodegradable properties and biocompatibility. Microorganisms contain several enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of L-amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner, but the products from these reactions contain amide linkages at the side residues of amino acids: e.g., poly-γ-glutamic acid, poly-ε-lysine, and cyanophycin. In this stu...

The seed lipid of Nitraria tangutorum was extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, microwaveassisted reflux extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, or solvent reflux extraction. The experimental parameters of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction including pressure, temperature, particle size, and extraction time were investigated. A facile and sensitive method for the simult...

Olive tree vegetal materials are considered a powerful source for the isolation of bioactive compounds—mainly phenols and triterpenic acids. However, high humidity content them reduces their preservation extractability to liquid solvent. Accordingly, drying step is crucial homogenize material obtain an efficient extraction. We studied influence process on extraction efficiency compounds from ol...

background: knowledge of infertile couples about assisted reproductive technology is a fundamental parameter to optimize the infertility treatment and conduct it cooperatively. objective: to evaluate knowledge and attitude of infertile couples about assisted reproductive technology we designed a descriptive cross-sectional study. materials and methods: 400 infertile patients were investigated b...

background: preterm labor (ptl) is one of the most important causes in neonatal mortality and morbidity. late preterm labor (34-36w) includes 75% of such birth. assisted reproductive technology (art) pregnant women are at increased risk of ptl. objective: the study has been undertaken to determine whether beginning and continuing 17-α hydroxy progesterone caproate can reduce risk of ptl or chan...

Jatropha curcas has a variety of uses which are of great economic significance. Jatropha oil can be used as fuel alternative and for making biodiesel that is supposed to overcome the source limitation problem. In this study, conventional, ultrasound assisted and microwave pretreatment solid liquid extraction of Jatropha seed were studied in terms of amount and quality of the extracted oil. The ...

Carboxylates are important intermediates in oxidative reactions on gold, as they are precursors to carboxylic acids and CO2; they may also act as site-blockers in oxidative coupling of alcohols, thereby decreasing both catalyst activity and selectivity. We demonstrate that the reaction selectivity and pathways for a prototype carboxylate, acetate, adsorbed on Au(111), are dramatically altered b...
