Panax ginseng roots are well known for their medicinal properties and have been used in Korean and Chinese traditional medicines for 1000s of years. However, the medicinal value of P. ginseng fruits remain poorly characterized. In this study, we used an integrated biochemical, proteomics, and metabolomics approach to look into the medicinal properties of ginseng fruits. DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pic...

The potential use of synergistic mixtures of reagents for the solvent extraction of nickel (and cobalt) from lateritic leach liquors was pointed out in the early 1980s by Grinstead, who used dinonylnaphthalene sulphonic acid in conjunction with some 2-pyridyl compounds for the recovery of these metals from slightly acidic solutions1,2. Shortly thereafter, studies at Mintek revealed marked syner...

Background: Medicinal plants are natural sources of antioxidants effective in the treatment radical mediated diseases. This study evaluated in-vitro antioxidant and phytochemical constituents methanolic leaves extract Andrographis paniculata . Methods: Fresh A. were harvested from a local far m, air -dried extracted with methanol. Chemical composition, activities, α-amylase enzyme inhibitory po...

Introduction: The use of pomegranates in Moroccan pharmacopeia is due to their healing and nutritional properties because richness secondary molecules. following study analyses the composition aqueous extract Punica granatum peel evaluates vivo vitro antioxidant effects, hemolytic protection, acute toxicity. Methods: Quantification plant was realized by high-performance liquid chromatography (H...

By adopting a ligand-based solid solution approach, the sulphonic acid functional group can be successfully incorporated into a porous coordination polymer with UiO-66 structure type. Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(BDC-SO(3)H)(1.1)(BDC)(4.9) possesses enhanced heat of adsorption for carbon dioxide and acetone compared to Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(BDC)(6).

phenolic resins are synthetic low molecular weight thermoset resins which are polymerized and cured to higher molecular weights by condensation method. these resins have high weathering resistance, high oxidative thermal properties and good chemical resistance. phenolic resins can be cured thermally or by acid curing. the most common method of curing phenolic resin is by thermal curing that tak...

A novel enzyme immobilization platform was prepared on a platinum disk working electrode by polymerizing aniline inside the interstitial pores of polyester sulphonic acid sodium salt (PESA). Scanning electron microscopy study showed the formation of homogeneous sulphonated polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes (∼90 nm) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that the nanotubes were stable up to 2...

the increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, quantum size effects and the ability to tune surface properties through molecular modification make nanostructures ideal for environmental remediation. the present piece of work reports the preparation and characterization of nano cellulosic fibers (ncfs) with further polymeric reinforcement using vinyl sulphonic acid for the remediat...
