Harvester ants (Messor galla Forel) defied various control strategies. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Spent Engine-Oil and other nature-based materials on their emergence in Maiduguri, Borno State of Nigeria. The treatments evaluated are spot application of spent engine-oil and some natural materials in experiment 1 and individual and equal mixture of Pure Neem ...

Background: The global incidence of snakebite has become a major concern to the community. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mango seed kernel methanol extract on metalloproteases in Carpet Viper (Echis ocellatus) venom. Methods: Mango seed kernel methanolic extract was evaluated in vitro for its anti-venom activity and inhibition of metalloproteases of Carpet Viper's (Echis ocellatus...

Abstract Background The use of food processing wastes and by-products, as well the under-utilization agricultural products, have recently received increased attention. Mango, apricot peach are three most significant fruits grown processed in Egypt. Results This work aimed to evaluate amino acid composition, physio-chemical properties fatty acids content mango, apricot, seed kernels after remova...

Drying temperature and time effect on oil quality parameters of both seed and kernel from a sunflower hybrid of potential high oil content was evaluated. Drying tests were carried through two treatments of thin layer drying, consisting the first in getting the equilibrium moisture content and the second a safe storage moisture value, both in a range of temperatures from 25 °C to 90 °C. Prolonge...

volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori, agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocyanate (0.5%), n-...
