The present study evaluated the effect of extraction techniques (ultrasound-assisted (U) and shaking water bath extrac-tion (WB)), solvents (etha-nol, acetone distilled water) concentration (2.5% 5%) on total phe-nolic content (TPC), anti-bacterial antioxidant activities extracts ob-tained from feijoa leaves, peel pulp. antibac-terial activity ex-tracts were tested in vitro against 6 pathogens ...

Long exposure of UV radiation increases risk of skin diseases such as cancer and photoallergic reactions. UV-B (280-320 nm) radiation is mainly responsible for inducing skin problems. Skin protection is a suitable method in the fight against ultraviolet radiation induced damage. Various synthetic agents have been used as photo protective but because of their potential toxicity in humans, they h...

Nutrient deficiency symptoms are widely used to determine the nutrient demands of a crop and clarify nutritional disorders, especially when they specific. Until now, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) boron (B) experiment has not been carried out on feijoa, diagnostic have described. For this reason, 9-months-old ‘Quimba’ feijoa plants were studied using missing method. A modified Hoagland Arnon solu...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gut with limited treatment success for its sufferers. This suggests the need for better understanding of the different subtypes of the disease as well as nutritional interventions to compliment current treatments. In this study we assess the ability of a hydrophilic feijoa fraction (F3) to ...
