The effectiveness of aqueous extract of seven locally available medicinal plants i.e. Trachyspermum ammi (seeds), Zingiber officinale (rhizome), Tinospora cordifolia (leaves), Cymbopogon citratus (leaves), Moringa oleifera (bark) were evaluated against the plant pathogenic fungus i.e. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini (causing wilt in linseed). The plant extracts were screened for their antagonist...

objective(s):the use of doxorubicin (dox) is limited by its dose-dependent cardio toxicity in which reactive oxygen species (ros) play an important role in the pathological process. the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of three medicinal plants, nigella sativa (n), glycyrrhiza glabra (g) and zingiber officinale (z), and their combination (ngz), against dox-induced apoptos...

spasmolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory properties of ginger (rhizome of zingiber officinale roscoe) suggest that it may has beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel diseases. in the present study, the effect of this herbal extract on a model of acute colitis was evaluated. ginger hydroalcoholic extract with doses of 150, 350, 700 mg/kg, prednisolone (2 mg/kg), or vehi...

Nine new gingerols, including three 6-oxo-shogaol derivatives [(Z)-6-oxo-[6]-shogaol (1), (Z)-6-oxo-[8]-shogaol (2), (Z)-6-oxo-[10]-shogaol (3)], one 6-oxoparadol derivative [6-oxo-[6]-paradol (4)], one isoshogaol derivative [(E)-[4]-isoshogaol (5)], and four paradoldiene derivatives [(4E,6Z)-[4]-paradoldiene (8), (4E,6E)-[6]-paradoldiene (9), (4E,6E)-[8]-paradoldiene (10), (4E,6Z)-[8]-paradold...

In the present work, the effective moisture diffusivity and activation energy were calculated using an infinite series solution of Fick’s diffusion equation. The results showed that increasing drying temperature accelerated the drying process. All drying experiments had only falling rate period. The average effective moisture diffusivity values varied from 2.807x10 to 6.977x10m s over the tempe...
