Objective: The study was done to evaluate the antiasthma activity of Macerated and Soxhlet extracts of (pulp) of plant Liomnia acidissima Linn on tracheal chains of guinea pigs. Methods: The (pulp) of fruits of plant Liomnia acidissima Linn was extracted with 95% ethanol at 55oC and evaluate for their antiasthma activity on tracheal chains of guinea pigs by using three cumulative concentrations...

BACKGROUND Studies on selected metabolites profiling of Orthosiphon stamineus extracts using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometric tools have not been fully elucidated. Thus present study was performed to profile selected metabolites in O. stamineus leaves extracts using HPLC and FTIR combined with chemometric tools and correlated with biological activities. M...

In this study, it was aimed to compare the antioxidant properties of extracts obtained from extraction olive leaves in Hatay province prepared with different solvents. For purpose, were extracted using pure methyl alcohol soxhlet and also by maceration 60% ethanol, 70% methanol, 90% acetone (v/v) distilled water. Total Flavonoid Content (TFC), Phenolic (TPC), Ferric Antioxidant Reducing Power (...

Various beneficial properties has been attributed to Nigella sativa, including its antioxidant potential. Previously, it was reported that supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) could be used to obtain N. sativa extract rich in antioxidants. In the present study, N. sativa extracts prepared using the previously optimized SFE as well as the traditional Soxhlet extraction approaches were analyzed f...

Two of the major factors that should be considered in leaves extraction are the solvent type and extraction method. In the current study, the effects of two solvents (Ethanol and Methanol) and two extraction methods (soaking and soxhlet) on phenolics and flavonoid contents, antibacterial and antiradical properties of extracts were investigated in a factorial experiment based on completely rando...

We tested a wet extraction method for lipid extraction from Euglena gracilis water slurry at 0.51 MPa and 20 °C using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME). The yields, proximate analyses, elemental composition, and molecular weight distribution properties of the extracts from E. gracilis and the remaining residues obtained by DME extraction were compared with those of the extracts obtained by hexane ...

In this paper, a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was established for aristolochic acid-I from Aristolochiae Fructus, and the advantage of MAE was evaluated by chromatographic analysis coupled with nephrotoxicity studies. The experimental parameters of MAE for aristolochic acid-I in Aristolochiae Fructus were investigated and MAE was compared with Soxhlet extraction and ultrasound-ass...

Coconut copra from West coast tall variety, cultivated in Kerala, India, was subjected to aqueous and solvent extractions (using n-hexane). Additionally, oil was extracted from the copra in Soxhlet assembly using petroleum ether (b.p. 60-80°C). Physicochemical and phytochemical analyses were conducted for the extracts and the oil, with commercial coconut oil as the experimental control. The phy...

Extracts from different samples of Brazilian propolis were obtained by Soxhlet extraction or maceration at room temperature using ethanol, water, and accombination of both solvents. Analysis of their composition using HPLC revealed that no major differences were seen when a propolis sample was subject to different extraction methods. The activity of the 15 extracts was assayed against bloodstre...
