Diets high in wholegrains are associated with a 20-30% reduction in risk of developing type-2 diabetes (T2D), which is attributed to a variety of wholegrain components, notably dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Most phytochemicals function as antioxidants in vitro and have the potential to mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation which are implicated in the pathogenesis of...

The aim of this study was to establish pharmacognostic profiles of dried leaf powder of Cardiospermum halicacabum Linn. and dried seed hull powder of Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch.-Ham.) Oken. The present study investigates various qualitative and quantitative parameters like microscopic evaluation of plant powder, physicochemical constants and preliminary phytochemical analysis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the Stachys turcomanica phytochemical compounds, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of methanolic extract. The volatile constituents from the aerial parts of Stachys turcomanica growing wild in Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In the GC-MS analysis, Forty-six components representing 81.1% of the oil were identifie...

Chromolaena sp. is believed to have phytochemical components namely alkaloids, flavonoids, flavone, essential oils, phenolics, saponins, tannins and terpenoids. In this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) procedure was performed extract the gallic acid from UAE known be an environmentally green method. The experiment carried out with two different parameters which are sonication time du...

Screening of bioactive components is important for modernization and quality control of herbal medicines, while the traditional bioassay-guided phytochemical approach is time-consuming and laborious. The presented study proposes a strategy for rapid screening of active components from herbal medicines. As a case study, the quantitative pattern-activity relationship (QPAR) between compounds and ...

The present study was carried out to characterize the bioactive constituents present in ethanolic extracts of Hybanthus enneaspermus using UV, FTIR and GC-MS. The crude extracts were scanned in the wavelength ranging from 300-1100 nm by using Perkin Elmer Spectrophotometer and the characteristic peaks were detected. For GC-MS analysis, 20 g sample is extracted with 50 ml ethanol, filtered in as...
