background: plants and their phytochemicals have immense potential for the management of different types of wound. salvia multicaulis vahl. is an evergreen shrub species, which traditionally used as a wound healing agent. objective: the aim of the present study is to evaluate phytochemicals and wound healing activity of s. multicaulis in an excision wound model. methods: preliminary phytochemic...

abstract having no exact knowledge of most appropriate harvesting time in kiwifruit grown in different regions of guilan province, as well as the low storage longevity of the fruits are the most important factors causing considerable reduction in both marketability and export affairs. in this study, the influence of fruit quality in term of harvesting time on the postharvest quality and food va...

This study sought to investigate the effect of infusions from green tea (Camellia sinensis) and some citrus peels [shaddock (Citrus maxima), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), and orange (Citrus sinensis)] on key enzymes relevant to the management of neurodegenerative conditions [monoamine oxidase (MAO) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)]. The total phenol contents and antioxidant activities as typifi...

The effect of phenol on the biological treatment of wastewaters from a resin producing industry was analyzed in a pre-denitrification system. First, the effect of phenol overloads on the removal of organic matter and nitrogen compounds was studied. During the overloads (from 250 to 4000 mg/L), phenol was detected in the effluent of the anoxic reactor but the system recovered fast after stopping...

Ohtsuji, H., and Ikeda, M. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med., 29, 70-73. Quantitative relationship between atmospheric phenol vapour and phenol in the urine of workers in Bakelite factories. A survey in Bakelite factories revealed that the urinary level of total phenol, free plus conjugated, increased in proportion to the phenol concentration to which the subject was exposed in his working environ...

Black liquor alkaline lignin and magnesium lignosulfonate were liquefied at 320 C. The antioxidant abilities of the liquefaction products were compared with the raw materials. Results showed that the total phenol content and unit antioxidant power of both alkaline lignin liquefaction products (ALLP) and magnesium lignosulfonate liquefaction products (MLLP) were improved, and ALLP had a larger i...

natural citrus biotypes are a valuable genetic resource in the country. investigation about diversity of biochemical compounds due to optimize the utilization and development of new varieties is useful. therefore, for identifying them, the fruits of 16 biotypes with numbers of 6, 8, 15, 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 41, 43, 45, 48, 51, 52 and 53 in the germplasm collection of the iran citrus research...

the mineral contents of centaura leave and seeds were determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (icp-aes). macro element concentrations (p, k, ca, mg and s) of samples were found at high levels. k was established at high level in both leave and seed samples of centaurea. while k contents of leaves changes between 7254.10 mg/kg (centaurea lycaonica) and 26396.36 mg/kg...

Several floc-forming bacteria and phenol-decomposing bacteria were isolated from a phenol-adapted activated sludge. Strain No. 12 was the best floc-former and the ratio of flocculated cells to total cells was 90 or more. A model floc was formed by the mixed culture of the strain No. 12 and No. 3, which was one of representative strains of phenoldecomposing bacteria. This model floc can successf...
