1. Added pantothenic acid was found to have no appreciable effect on the fermentation of glucose when used in conjunction with preparations of dialyzed yeast maceration juice or acetone-precipitated yeast maceration juice. 2. Addition of pantothenic acid failed to affect the rate of phosphorylation of glucose or the rate of decarboxylation of pyruvic acid by yeast maceration juice. 3. Pantothen...

The present investigation of crude extracts from the whole plant Merremia umbellata was done by cold maceration with methanol and pet ether solvent subjected to preliminary phytochemical, pharmacological screening, antibacterial against selected Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria. Phytochemical studies indicate presence Flavonoids steroids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, Triterpenoids glycosides, ...

There is a need to develop safe and effective agents such as plant-based contraceptive agents. Hydroalcoholic extract of Plumbago zeylanica Linn leaves were prepared using cold extraction process (maceration). Antiimplantation activity was studied in adult female wistar rats, by administering the extract for 1-7 days of post-coitum. Total number th of implants in both uteri and total number of ...

Nerium indicum [Family:Apocynaceae] is commonly known as Arali [Tam] found throughout India, and has been used in the treatment of cancer, cardiotonic, leprosy and skin diseases. Plant parts such as root, bark and leaves are used. The present study is therefore undertaken to analyse its phyto chemical constituents in solvents like Benene, Chloroform and Alcohol and to screen its antibacterial a...

A rapid method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of β-sitosterol, total phenolic and flavonoid compounds present in the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. (Family: Moringaceae). The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves was subjected for the quantitative estimation of these compounds. The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera was prepared by the process of cold m...

Phenolic compounds and colour stability of red wines produced from Vranec Vitis vinifera L. grape variety were investigated by means of different maceration times (3, 6 and 10 days), two doses of SO2 (30 and 70 mg/L SO2), two yeasts for fermentation (Vinalco and Levuline), temperature of storage and time of aging (3, 6 and 16 months). In general, maceration time influenced the phenolics extract...

Clerodendron infortunatum Linn is widely used for the treatment of malaria and vermifuge, scorpion snake bites, tumors, inflammation, bronchitis in wound healing. The present study was carried out to estimate variation amounts Gallic acid, Rutin Quercetin Linn.leaves extracts collected different seasons using high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC).In this study, leaves C. were subje...
