A wide range of pha...

the bioactivity of chemical extracts from silverleaf nightshade solanum elaeagnifolium cav. seeds and leaves were tested for herbicidal activities, through water and ethanol extracts, against portulaca oleracea l., corchorus olitorius l., convolvulus arvensis l.and echinochloa crus-galli (l.) found in most zea mays l.fields. characterization of the isolated constituents from ethanol extract was...

Chinese quince (Chaenomeles sinensis) is used in food and pharmaceutical products, but it is seldom eaten as a raw fruit due to its astringent, woody flesh. The structural characterization of lignin fractions from Chinese quince was very important to investigate the structure-activity relationships of lignin. In this investigation, to characterize the structure of lignin in Chinese quince fruit...

Objective(s): Quince seed mucilage (QSM) serves as a new source of hydrocolloid which extracted from outer pericarp of Cydonia oblonga seeds upon wetting. It has been traditionally used for the treatment of diseases such as pharyngeal disorder, common cold, colic ulcer, and diarrhea. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of quince seed ...

BACKGROUND In various studies, Cydonia oblonga Miller (quince) has been reported to have many properties such as antioxidant and anti-ulcerative effects. This study has aimed to investigate the protective effects of quince aqueous extract (QAE) and quince hydroalcoholic extract (QHE) on gastric ulcer caused by indomethacin and the relevant macroscopic, histopathology, and biochemical factors in...

The article presents the results of research on optimizing methods intensification growing seed rootstocks based common quince VNIISPK breeding in a nursery. In course research, it has been found that highest yield with optimal economic and biological characteristics is provided by sowing germinated seeds late April. Seeds should be sown artificial beds according to scheme 0.5 cm x 20 cm, which...

In times of worsening civilization diseases the interest in natural healing substances is on the increase. To reduce unwanted side effects of many synthetic drugs, it is reasonable to introduce to the daily diet foods rich in natural compounds of plant origin that are beneficial for health. The purpose of the study was to determine the biological activity and stability of selected ethanol extra...

This research investigates the potential health benefits of extracts from seeds, peels, and pulps quince, medlar, bletting medlar fruits. Our study reveals that polyphenol content is higher in skin than flesh fruits tested, with highest concentration found fresh (1148 mg GAE/100 gDM). The quince show antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP tests), while pulp medlars exhibits inhibition ability a...

The potential of quince powder was evaluated for the production of fiber rich sponge cakes. In this study, quinces slices were dried in an infrared–hot air dryer (375 W, 60°C and 1 m/s flow rate). The rheological properties of cake batters and physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties of the sponge cake supplemented with five different concentrations (control, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %) of qui...
