Abstract This study focused on testing manufactured silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against the malaria pathogen Plasmodium falciparum and vector Anopheles stephensi using plant filtrate from Madhuca longifolia . The M. leaf extracts were used to synthesize AgNPs, which then subjected several physicochemical methods determine their characteristics. To evaluate effectiveness of green produced AgNP ...

Seed fat of Madhuca longifolia known as mee fat (MF) has been considered as a potential plant fat for producing fat mixture to simulate the properties of lard. A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of addition of palm stearin (PS) on the solidification behavior of MF to formulate a mixture to become similar in solidification characteristics of lard. Three fat mixtures were prepared by ...

The present study was designed to investigate antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of four plant species from Indian origin. The antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl-acetate and methanol extracts of barks of Acacia nilotica, Berberis chitria, Terminalia paniculata and Madhuca longifolia were tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcu...

Nitrification inhibitors (NI) are aimed at improving N-fertilizer use efficiency in cropping systems. This study to assess the nitrification inhibition potential and non-target effects of dry leaf powders (botanicals) ten plant species [neem (Azadirachta indica), lantana (Lantana camara), karanda (Pongamia pinnata), Brachiaria humidicola, cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), clove (Syzygium aromaticum)...

The toxic effects of selected Malaysian timbers (Madhuca utilis, Anisoptera laevis and Endospermum malaccense) heartwood extracts were studied with the aim to determine and understanding the function of wood extracts as a natural protection against termite. The results show that no-choice experiments revealed toxic properties of all investigated extracts by the contact against Coptotermes gestr...
