Raw hides and skin are preserved before processed into leather. Salt preservation is the general and age old popular practice. Possibilities of using other methods of preservations have been analysed in order to reduce the pollution load in the soaking process of leather by many scientist. However, in the present study less salt preserving systems based on herbal extract have been investigated ...

Results Thirty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Clinical studies were divided into three categories: survey studies (n=11), safety studies (n= 8), and efficacy studies (n= 13). Six studies were randomized controlled trials. The most common herbs studied were St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) (n=3), garlic (Allium sativum L.) extract (n=2), and senna (Cassia senna L.) (n=2). Studi...

Adenine was isolated as a platelet aggregating inhibitor from the leaves of Cassia alata by HPLC using a triacontylsilyl silica (C(30)) column. The inhibitory effects of adenine and adenosine (positive control) on the platelet aggregation induced by collagen or adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) as an aggregating agent was evaluated with a platelet aggregometer using a laser-scattering method. As a...

Cassia nodosa Buch.-Ham, ex Roxb. tree is found in abundance throughout India and can be grown easily in alkaline land without much care and investment. Its seeds are bigger in size containing 50-55 per cent of endosperm, which is easily separable by mechanical means . The physico-chemicals properties of the seed gum are as follows: Mn 4,73,00; Mw, 7,0 I ,000, Mz, I 0,80,00; Polidispersity 1.48...

Galactomannan extracted from seeds of Cassia grandis with 0.1M NaCl, followed by ethanol precipitation, presented a yield of 36 ± 8%. The polysaccharide has a constant mannose/galactose ratio (2.44:1). Methylation analysis, one and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the polysaccharide has a central core composed of 4-linked β-mannose units, with branches of galactose, linked to the...
