the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chemical treatments including urea (5%), ammonia (3.5%), calcium hydroxide (4%), sodium hydroxide (5%), sulphuric acid (5%) and hydrogen peroxide (5%) on ph, dm solubility, lignin, silica, phenolic compounds, cellulose and hemicellulose stucture and ruminal degradability of rice straw. after processing, the treated straw was ensiled for 1 mon...

Rosa canina L. is a member of Rosaceae family, which is well-known for its high phenolic contents. These compounds are known to possess antioxidant and antiradical effects. In order to compare the antioxidant and antiradical activity of wild Rosa phenolic extracts, two wild Rosa species (Rosa canina L. and Rosa pimpinellifolia L.) were selected from Takab, Oshnavieh and Qasemloo Valley of Urmia...

objectives: sweet peppers capsicum annuum l. (c. annuum) are an excellent source of vitamins a and c as well as phenolic compounds, which are important antioxidant components that may reduce the risk of diseases. the objective of this study was to evaluate their antioxidant activity under various temperatures. materials and methods: to compare the antioxidant activity in various temperatures (2...

objective: alchornea floribunda leaves are widely used in ethnomedicine for the management of immuno-inflammatory disorders. we investigated the in vivo and in vitro antioxidant activity of the leaf extract, fractions and isolated compounds of a. floribunda.materials and methods: the ethyl acetate fraction of the methanol leaf extract was subjected to several chromatographic separations to isol...

The present investigation highlights the free radical scavenging activity of Melochia corchorifolia, Sida acuta and Saccharum officinarum leaf extracts and their Phenolic contents by determining DPPH, Nitric oxide, Hydroxyl and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The shade dried leaves were coarsely powdered and subjected to fractional extraction by using chloroform and ethanol. The extracts...

abstract in recent years some research results have appeared that exogenous salicylic acid provided significant mitigation effect against salinity induced injuries in plants. an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salt stress and salicylic acid on radish (raphanus sativus l.) plants. after appearing first leaves, plants were treated by salicylic acid (0.2 mm) for 3 days and n...

the genus helichrysum (asteraceae),is comprised of approximately 500-600 species and used for the treatment of a variety of pathological conditions in folk medicine in many countries. in this study, antioxidant activities of aerial parts ofh. pseudoplicatum were investigated employing various in vitro assay systems, i.e. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) and nitric oxide radical scavenging, ...

environmental pollution by 2,4-dicholorphenol (2,4-dcp), commonly found in industrial wastewater has been a concern for humans over the past 50 years. garden radish peroxidase (grp) can eliminate this poisonous pollutant. the aim of this study was to apply an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) and central composite design (ccd) to optimize grp-based treatment in order to maximize ...
