Chromatographic separation of a 70% aqueous methanol extract (AME) of Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Pierre (Leguminosae) leaves has led to the isolation of two new isoflavonoid diglycosides, 4'-O-methyl-genistein 7-O-beta-D-rutinoside (2) and 2',5'-dimethoxy-genistein 7-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-(1"'-->6")-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), and a new rotenoid, 12a-hydroxy-alpha-toxicarol (5), together with ...

Study was undertaken with the objective to develop a simple method for isolation of karanjin from Karanja (Pongamia pinnata Linn.) seed oil. The seed oil was subjected to liquid–liquid extraction with methanol. The extract was further subjected to solvent partitioning followed by crystallization to get karanjin, purity of which was ascertained by HPLC. The purity of isolated karanjin was found ...

Recycled chicken eggshells after calcination have been used as a nonconventional heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel synthesis from karanja oil from the pongam tree (Pongamia pinnata). The catalyst was characterized on X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA). The formation of the calcium oxi...

Malapari is a versatile plant mainly used for biofuel and medicine. Efforts to obtain malaparian genetic resources with high productivity are challenge breeding. This study aims analyze the morphological character pod seed from provenance test plot at KHDTK Parungpanjang by calculating : ( ) diversity of data based on phenotypic, b correlation between phenotypic characters , c influence phenoty...

Effects of Pongamia pinnata, an indigenous plant used in Ayurvedic Medicine in India on the temporal variations of circulatory lipid peroxidation products and antioxidants in ammonium chloride-(AC)-induced hyperammonemic rats has been studied. Experimental rats were divided into control, AC-treated, those treated with AC + ethanolic leaf extract of P. pinnata (PPEt), and PPEt-treated. The...

The production of a protease and a lipase from Bacillus pumilus SG2 on solid-state fermentation using Pongamia pinnata seed cake as substrate was studied. The seed cake was proved to be a promising substrate for the bacterial growth and the enzyme production. The initial pH, incubation time and moisture content were optimized to achieve maximal enzyme production. Maximum protease production was...
