The leaves of 10 Cassia species (Leguminosae), cultivated in Nigeria, were assayed spectrophotometrically for combined anthraquinone content and also pharmacologically for their laxative properties in male albino rats using official senna leaves (Cassia acutifolia Del.) as the reference standard. Leaves of C. podocarpa Guill, and Perr. and of senna had identical laxative potency. The results of...

Many substances of plant origin are extracted for use in the primary treatment domestic wastewater. In most cases, they used as coagulating and flocculating agents derived from seeds, leaves, bark or sap, roots, fruits trees plants. this research, Cassia fistula seed was evaluated removal turbidity color wastewater a pumping station city Cartagena (Colombia). The optimal dose C. powder determin...

Abstract In this study, the production of bio-oil by pyrolysis with microwave (MW) heating was tested experimentally. Two magnetrons a total MW power 1,600 W were used in setup. The electric field strength 185.38 V·m −2 at an frequency 2.45 GHz. Cashew nut shells (CNS) or Cassia fistula pods (CFP) pyrolyzed 400°C, 500°C, 600°C, biomass-to-activated carbon ratio set 70:30, 80:20, 90:10. largest ...

Plant-derived coagulants have exhibited a good potential in wastewater treatment due to their “green” characteristics, high coagulating-flocculating activity, cost-effectiveness, and biodegradability. Nevertheless, research studies focused mainly on bench-scale experiments; pilot-scale full-scale simulations are still limited. Herein, we firstly report study of real domestic textile using Cassi...

Background & Objectives. The plan of this work was to study the larvicidal activity of Cassia occidentalis (Linn.) against the larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. These larvae are the most significant vectors. They transmit the parasites and pathogens which cause a deadly disease like filariasis, dengue, yellow fever, malaria, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya, and so forth, which are considered...

The objective of the study was to investigate the antidiabetic action of aqueous extract of Cassia glauca leaf in different models of rats. The antidiabetic activity of aqueous extract of Cassia glauca leaf was evaluated by using normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. After the oral administration of aqueous extracts at doses of 500 mg/kg body weight, blood glucose levels and body wei...
