Chinda pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is classified as a large chili that an important economic crop of Thailand. The substance in the responsible for its spicy taste capsaicin. Presently, capsaicin peppers has been extracted use food and medical products. This research compared content from dried four different solvents: H2O, acetone, ethanol (95% v/v), binary solvent acetone water at ratio 1:1 v...

oil is a strategic product in our country, iran. the amount of importing this product is considerable, and therefore, any attempt to produce crude oil in our country in a way that competes with the foreign counterparts, with regard to both quality and production cost is considered important. this study addresses the effect of oil seeds preparation step on quality of crude oil, which is extracte...

This study examined the extent of organic solvent and water retention in comonomer blends with different hydrophilicity (Hoy’s solubility parameter for hydrogen bonding, δh) after solvent evaporation, and the extent of tracer penetration in polymerised films prepared from these resins. For each comonomer blend, adhesive/solvent mixtures were prepared by addition of [1] 50wt% acetone; [2] 50wt% ...

the subject handled in this study is the determination of antioxidant activities of extracts obtained from the urginea maritima (l.) baker plant’s leaves and tubers. extractions which were obtained using various solvents as methanol, ethanol, acetone and benzine. the antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined using β-karotene-linoleic acid system. moreover, the free radical scavenging ...

The potency of Solenostemma argel (asclepiadaceae) as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects was investigated. Three solvent extract were used for extracting (polyphenolic, flavonoids and tannins) from the leaves of Solenostemma argel (S. argel). Three complementary antioxidant systems: (DPPH∙ free radical scavenging, Fe2+-chelating and iron reducing power) as well as the total phenolic, tot...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most important ophthalmic biomaterials, while also being used for tissue engineering and drug delivery. Although chemical cross-linking is an effective way to improve the material performance, it may as a consequence be detrimental to the living cells/tissues. Given that the cross-linking efficiency is mediated by the solvent composition during the chemical mo...

OBJECTIVES The leaf and bark of Thevetia peruviana (Family: Apocynaceae) plant was administered for 24 h to the freshwater fish Catla catla (Hamilton) to evaluate their piscicidal activity in laboratory and cemented pond condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS AND RESULTS The LC0 values of lef and bark extracts of different solvents (i.e., acetone, diethyl ether, ethyl alcohol, chloroform and carbon...

A method to quantify sub-ppm levels of formaldehyde in acetone has been developed and it is reported here. In this method, the different reactivities and stabilities of sulfite with formaldehyde and acetone are used to separate the two carbonyl compounds. Sulfite reacts with formaldehyde to form hydroxymethanesulfonate (HMS), the non-volatile and stable nature of which allows its separation fro...
