Mathematical, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network modeling of extraction kinetics essential oil from aerial parts yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) using ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation

Achillea wilhelmsii have been used in folk remedies. The relaxant effects of the extract of A. wilhelmsii on tracheal chains of guinea pigs were examined. The relaxant effects of four cumulative concentrations of the extract, theophylline and saline were examined by their relaxant effects on precontracted tracheal chains of guinea pig by KCl (group 1), 10 μM methacholine (group 2), incubated ti...

A nomenclatural revision of the Santolina chamaecyparissus species complex is presented. detailed survey original material for all names applied to members was performed, and 28 are newly typified. The current usage S. villosa ericoides, relating some Spanish French populations, discussed. name a taxon endemic Spain, whereas ericoides those populations often traditionally referred villosa.

In this study, antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of ‘‘Achillea phrygia’’ were investigated. Since the activity B sub-extract from plant’s chloroform extract is higher than other extracts, Achillea phrygia was used in preparation nanoparticles. Characterization nanoparticles made, activities IC50 values only calculated by cell culture studies XTT viability test. According to results, ...

Haplotype phylogenies based on DNA sequence data are increasingly being used to test traditional species-level taxonomies based on morphology. However, few studies have critically compared species limits based on morphological and DNA data, and the methods used to delimit species using either type of data are only rarely explained. In this paper, we review three approaches for species delimitat...

The antifungal activity of 43 hydrosols, 7 herbal teas and 12 essential oils was determined using Candida albicans as a test organism. All of the hydrosols examined showed more potent inhibition against the filamentous form than the yeast form of C. albicans. In particular, the filamentous form was markedly inhibited by seven hydrosols, of which monarda, santolina and clove water also inhibited...
