background: in the modern lifestyle, the increase in cancer and related chronic disorders is a major public health problem. in spite of different methods used for the treatment of these conditions, natural medicines have high demands due to their significant effects as immune enhancement and therapeutic agents and fewer side effects in comparison with other treatment methods. hence, this study ...

Between the various types of vegetable oils consumed, corn germ oil stands out, is characterized by benefits to human health and being considered raw material in Angola, due climatic characteristics these regions. It this context that present work was developed, which aims implement methodologies extract oil, having hydrated ethanol as solvent. The procedure consisted use Soxhlet, extractor, et...

The new Soxflo instrument was evaluated for the determination of crude fat in foods and animal feeds. Samples are packed into small columns and extracted with petroleum ether at room temperature. The Soxflo yielded accurate data from foods, ranging from 0.4 to 73.2% crude fat, compared with Soxhlet extractions and Certified Reference Materials, for which recoveries averaged 99.7 and 100.7%, res...

Aim: This research is aimed at evaluating the antifungal activity of Curcuma longa, and Azadirachta indica extracts on dematiaceous fungi isolated from environmental samples Uli community, Anambra State, Nigeria.
 Methods: Soil, rotten wood, water were randomly collected three communities Uli, Ihiala LGA. Also, leaf neem rhizoids turmeric purchased an agro-based farm. The analyzed for pres...

We compare the methods of continuous solvent (Soxhlet) and supercritical solvent extractions for the removal of the organic template from nanostructured silica monoliths. Our monoliths are formed by templating the L3 liquid crystal phase of cetylpyridinium chloride in aqueous solutions with tetramethoxy silane. The monoliths that result from both Soxhlet and supercritical extraction methods are...

Leaves of Artemisia annua linn. and Azadirachta indica were extracted in petroleum ether and hexane respectively by different methods of extraction i.e. cold extraction, reflux extraction and soxhlet extraction. The crude extract obtained was tested against third instar larvae of Anopheles stephensi. On comparison of larval mortality of crude extract obtained by these three methods, both soxhle...
