IN determining the sugar content of a cold water extract of dried barley leaves, it was found that the estimate of total sugar was considerably higher if hydrolysis was effected by heating with N/5 sulphuric acid in a boiling water-bath for 10 min., than if treatment with 0-1 % invertase was employed. The sample of invertase was obtained from the British Drug Houses and under the conditions emp...

effect of oil neem seed extract and the neem kernel powder mixed with methanol 85% and ethanol 95% were investigated on two spotted spider mite (tetranychus urticae) under greenhouse (25 ± 5 °c and 40 ± 10% r. h.) and laboratory conditions. mortality percent of each above-mentioned solvent in different concertrations (0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5%) by three methods (leaf dip, ...

A number of food-matrix reference materials (RMs) are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and from Agriculture Canada through NIST. Most of these materials were originally value-assigned for their elemental composition (major, minor, and trace elements), but no additional nutritional information was provided. Two of the materials were certified for selected ...

The ethanolic extract of leaves of Acalypha hispida was evaluated for phytochemical, cytotoxic and antibacterial activities. Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, reducing sugars and steroids. Cytotoxic activity was investigated by brine shrimp (Artemia salina) lethality assay. The extract showed potent cytotoxic effect (LC50 19.95μg/ml) which is compa...

Vitexin, the main flavonoid was extracted from leaves of Combretum micranthum in soxhlet with ethanol. The extract evaporated to dryness and retrieved thanks hot water. That liquid went through a degreasing again butanol. butanolic dissolved methanol, which vitexin precipitated after washing recrystallisation first obtained precipitate. From 500g dry kinkeliba leaves, series manipulations led i...

The present study was done on underutilized green leafy vegetables which are rich source of iron and other micronutrients. Moreover there varieties in micronutrients whose consumption is very less general population due to lack awareness or ignorance. Therefore, the effort made develop value added products. Two commonly consumed products namely Idli Appe were developed from dry leaves. Curry le...

[7] (H*W*S*) Acacia greggii, "CATCLAW ACACIA" Drought tolerant, deciduous small tree/large shrub w/ spiny branches & tiny, ferny leaves; flowers are fragrant, creamy yellow bottle-bru...

Batch adsorption studies were undertaken with the abundantly available waste biosorbent Tectona grandis L.f. leaf powder for removal of cadmium(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption experiments were performed under various conditions such as time, temperature, different initial Cd(II) concentrations, pH, adsorbent dosage, and adsorbent particle size. The data showed that in 30 minutes, 1 g...

The present study was conducted to see the effect of supplementation spinach leaves powder in commonly consumed baked products. Spinach were dried shade for 6 8 hrs. remove excess moisture followed by oven drying at 40-450C till complete drying. ground an electric grinder obtain a fine powder. rich essential minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and phosphorous. Biscuits prepared using 4, 6, 8, 10 ...
