Evening Primrose oil (Oenothera biennis L.) is a rich source of Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and other useful unsaturated fatty acids. Despite the diversity of sources of GLA, due to better absorption in the human body, evening primrose oil is the main source of GLA. In this study, the effects of pollination, harvesting method and application of salicylic acid on yield, yield components, and qual...

In this work, the possibility of using reactions electrogenerated titrants with phenolic compounds was studied and a method for their coulometric determination in medicaments by galvanostatic coulometry developed. The research objects were: rutin, salicylic acid drugs containing such as «Ascorutin», «Salicylic Paste» Ointment» Russian manufacture. Electrogenerated halogens (Cl2, Br2 I2) hexacya...

AIM To examine sera for the presence of salicylic acid and 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (2,3- and 2,5-DHBA), in individuals not taking salicylate drugs. METHODS Extracts of acidified serum samples were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography with electro-chemical detection. The chromatographic conditions were altered, and the retention times of the unknown compounds compared...

Heavy metals pollution is one of the key environmental problems. In this research, the effect of seed priming with salicylic acid and sodium hydrosulfide was investigated on methionine and arginine amino acids contents and some compounds derived from their metabolism as well as ZmACS6 and ZmSAMD transcripts levels in maize plants under lead stress. For this purpose, maize seeds were soaked in s...

To study the effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the amount and quality of oil in different regions of sunflower inflorescence, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran. Salicylic acid at concentrations of 0, 0.1, and 0.2 g L-1 were sprayed on whole plant at 3 stages (twice before flowe...

Benzoic acid and some related compounds are able to increase the metabolism of mycobacteria (Bernheim, 1941). The oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production of the pathogenic strains H-37 and B, are greatly accelerated when small amounts of benzoic or salicylic (o-hydroxybenzoic) acid are added to the bacterial suspensions. Other hydroxybenzoic acids as well as aminobenzoic acids are without e...

Moringa oleifera is a plant that grows in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Its leaves are rich of nutrients and bioactive compounds. However, several differences are reported in the literature. In this article we performed a nutritional characterization and a phenolic profiling of M. oleifera leaves grown in Chad, Sahrawi refugee camps, and Haiti. In addition, we investigated the pr...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...

The effects of acids and bases on the viscosity of salicylic acid-cetrimide systems were investigated. A viscosity reduction was produced by the addition of acids and was independent of the degree of saturation of the cetrimide solution with salicylic acid. The incorporation of base followed by that of acid increased and decreased the viscosity, respectively. This viscosity behavior was demonst...
