abstractbackground and objective: microwave-assisted extraction (mae) is one of the novel, fast, and efficient methods for extraction of bioactive compounds. the aim of this study was optimization of mae of betalains from red beet (beta vulgaris) and evaluating antioxidant activity of its methanolic extract.materials and methods: the effects of independent variables namely, microwave power leve...

background & aim:nepeta racemosa is an herbal and medicinal plant and this report aims to   identify chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles of its   aerial parts through classical and advanced methods.  experimental: chemical profiles of the essential oils and volatile compounds from the aerial parts of nepeta racemosa obtained through hydrodistillation (hd), solvent-free mic...

microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) method has been compared with hydrodistillation (hd) conventional technique for extraction of essential oil from achillea millefolium. microwave-assisted hydrodistillation were examined at three levels of microwave powers (300, 500, and 700 w) .   obtained results show that   mahd offers important advantages over hd in terms of energy savings and extr...

the genus haplophyllum, which belongs to the rutaceae family, includes 18 species in iran. in this study, after collecting plant material, botanical identification and suitable drying, the essential oils from aerial parts of haplophyllum robustum bge. were extracted by three different isolation techniques, conventional hydrodistillation (hd), microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) and solv...

in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

background & aim: essential oils are isolated from different sections of plants such as flowers, seeds, leaves, stems and roots. essential oils are applied extensively in producing of perfumes, cosmetics, foods, beverages and confectioneries and as ingredients of disinfectants and insecticides. experimental: essential oil are obtained by several isolation methods, such as hydrodistillation ...

Background and objectives: Bakhtiari savory belonging to the Lamiaceae family is an endemic species, which is rich in carvacrol, thymol and other aromatic compounds. The essential oil of the plant could be added in fatty food against radicals similar to synthetic antioxidant BHT. Methods: To determine the best extraction methods on qualitative and antioxidant c...

seaweeds are the novel bioactive compounds resources with antioxidant activity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of microwave radiation on antioxidant compounds extracted from red algae hypneahamulosa and optimal extraction conditions using response surface methodology (rsm).. independent variables were time (4,8,12 min), acetone/water concentration (50%,75% ,100% acetone) and...

in the present study, a simple, efficient and fast synthetic strategy was reported for the green biosynthesis of silver nanostructures (i.e. nanoroads and nanoparticles) by the extract of suaeda acuminata plant, without any catalyst, template or surfactant. aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration and microwave assisted extraction (mae) methods. in mae procedure, the effect of microwave pow...
