the present study was designed to investigate the diuretic activity of Musa sapientum l. (familyMusaceae) flowers. The dried powder of the flower was subjected to Soxhlet extraction with alcohol and this extract was used for diuretic activity in Wistar albino rats using lipschitz method. the diuretic activity was assessed in terms of urine output and, concentration of Sodium, Potassium and Chlo...

In this study, some anti-nutritional factors present in oil-free seeds of egusi (Citrullus colocynthis L.) seed cake were determined. Oil was extracted from the oil-free egusi seed by the Soxhlet extraction method. The anti-nutritional factors were determined using the standard methods. The result of anti-nutritional factors analysis revealed that the seed contains phytate (3.09 ± 0.65mg/100g),...

Extraction of essential oil from spearmint leaves is typically hindered by the presence cell wall composed lignocellulose which can be biologically degraded microorganisms. This study aimed to investigate effects fermentation using Aspergillus awamori towards lignocellulosic content (Mentha spicata L.) leaf as well yield and composition, diffusion coefficient obtained different extraction metho...

black nightshade is a weed plant that grows abundantly in most parts of iran. in this study, central composite response surface method to investigate the effect of temperature 35-55 °c and pressures 170-350 bar during the dynamic time of 120 min, the particle size of 150 microns and flow rate of 3 liters per minute on the efficiency of oil extracted from the fruits of black nightshade and optim...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to compare three capsaicin extraction methods: Shoxlet, Ultrasound-assisted Extraction (UAE), and Shaker-assisted Extraction (SAE) from Habanero pepper, CNPH 15.192. MATERIALS AND METHODS The different parameters evaluated were alcohol degree, time extraction, and solid-solvent ratio using response surface methodology (RSM). RESULTS The three par...

To study oil contents and fatty acid composition among the samples of Jatropha curcas L. seeds were collected from Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Soxhlet extraction method and gas chromatography (GC) were employed to determine the oil contents of Jatropha seeds and the fatty acid composition of Jatropha oil. The seed oil contents (dry basis) was 46.27% .Physicochemical properties shows acid value (36.4...

The quickening pace of business caused one of Europe’s leading independent testing laboratories to seek an alternative to the standard solvent extraction/acid hydrolysis (Soxhlet) method for testing the amount of fat in a variety of foods. This contract laboratory, with numerous sites throughout the UK and Ireland, provides quality control analytical services to the food industry. By converting...

Three different brands of Rose hip (Rosa canina L.) tea were extracted with water, ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH), and aqueous mixtures (50%, v/v) by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and Soxhlet methods. Total phenolic content was determined according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results were presented by means of the extract yields and total phenolic contents, expressed in gallic ac...

Alien invasive species (AIS) and non-native are a prominent extended problem in wide range of areas Europe around the world. Centered Umia’s riparian forest, Galicia, we found at least three main AIS needing to be controlled harvested preserve biodiversity area. Previous studies probed that leaves bark selected species—Tradescantia fluminensis, Arundo donax, Eucalyptus globulus—have important a...
