Lycopene, the main carotenoid found in tomatoes and tomato-based products, has been reported to be protective against several types of cancer. Assessment of changes in plasma concentration of carotenoids following ingestion of lycopene-rich food sources does not necessarily predict changes in lycopene concentration or distribution of its isomers in other body tissues. Our aim was to determine t...

The gum Kidamali is an important oleoresin drug in the Indian System of Medicine. The market sample of Madras Crude drug trade has been identified as the gums of Gardenia gummifera Linn. f. of Rubiaceae. The morphology, microscopical structure of the source material, the fluorescence analysis and the chemical studies including thin layer chromatography of the drug are reported.

Toxicodendron dermatitis results from a reaction to an oil soluble oleoresin that is present in many parts of the poison ivy and poison oak plants. Prophylactic measures include avoidance, protective clothing, barrier creams and hyposensitization. Treatments include washing the area immediately with a solvent suitable for lipids and the use of anti-inflammatory agents, especially corticosteroids.

The conifer Picea abies (Norway spruce) defends itself against herbivores and pathogens with a terpenoid-based oleoresin composed chiefly of monoterpenes (C(10)) and diterpenes (C(20)). An important group of enzymes in oleoresin biosynthesis are the short-chain isoprenyl diphosphate synthases that produce geranyl diphosphate (C(10)), farnesyl diphosphate (C(15)), and geranylgeranyl diphosphate ...

canarium l. is used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, heptoprotective, antioxidant, and anti diabetic properties. the present study investigeated the invivo anti-inflammatory activity of  essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of resin of canarium strictum roxb. in the current study, anti-inflammatory activity of essential oil of canarium strictum...

Nanotechnology has developed in various industrial fields. This encourages innovation the use of additives such as antioxidants, dyes, flavors, and other active ingredients that can be modified form nanoemulsions. Red ginger contains oleoresin, which thick properties to a paste. These make oleoresin difficult mix with food, disperse, hydrophobic susceptible effects heat light. One solution over...

BACKGROUND Natural products display numerous therapeutic properties (e.g., antibacterial activity), providing the population with countless benefits. Therefore, the search for novel biologically active, naturally occurring compounds is extremely important. The present paper describes the antibacterial action of the Copaifera langsdorffii oleoresin and ten compounds isolated from this oleoresin ...
