Due to its numerous effects, the need upon the requirement of essential oils is getting increased. Unlike the olden days where there is no accurate review about the essential oils and lack of knowledge about it. However as time pass through, many methods have been done to extract and isolate the citral content out of the plant. Based on the research done by Nur (2014), the extraction methods used including hydrodistillation
Clove oil is a natural preservative and flavoring substance that is not harmful when consumed in food products. There have been a number of reports of clove oil inhibiting growth of bacteria and molds. Castanea crenata (Japanese chestnut) belongs to the Castanea family and is a woody plant native to Japan and South Korea. Chestnut shells contain an abundance of phenols and hydrolysable tannins. Chestnut (Castanea sativa) extracts have been reported to have antimicrobialactivity against several species
steroids and terpenoids. Thus, the aim of this work was to investigate the lipoidal matter composition of their leavesand to test for antimicrobial activities of both leaf extracts as a comparative study as well as their 1:1 extract mixture. GC/MS analysis of the unsaponifiable part of the light petroleum fraction of 70% ethanolic extract resulted in the identification of phytol as the major constituent (36.24%) in green tea and α- amyrin as the major constituent (38.8%) in rosemary leaves. Palmitic acid
and leaves are used as a source of an essential oil which finds use as a fixative for heavy type of soap perfume. Leaves, root and bark are used as tonic, stomachic and carminative. Juice made of roots is used in medicines as it provides relief from renal pain (Kirtikar K.R et al.). The leaves are imparipinnate with obliquely ovate or rhomboid shape. Phytochemically these leaves found to contain alkaloid (Atta-Ur-Rahman et al. and Reisch et al.) and volatile oil (Wong, KC et al.) Leaves are said to
and ethyl acetate leaf extracts of M. oleifera. Methods Disc diffusion and broth dilution methods were used for antifungal activity and standard qualitative chemical tests for the identification of phytoconstituents. Results Both the plant extracts showed antifungal activity against Rizopus stolonifer and Microsporum gypsum. Ethyl acetate extract was more active against M. gypsum, while R. stolonifer was more sensitive to methanolic
Nutraceuticals refer to extracts of foods claimed to have medicinal effect on human health. Nutraceuticals are a large and diverse class of compounds, which occur naturally in plants. Although these compounds are considered non-nutritive, many of them possess antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-oestrogenic, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties that might potentially be beneficial in preventing diseases and protecting the stability of the genome. The term ‘nutraceutical’ was coined from
The term biostimulant refers to any substances that enhance plant growth and development when applied in small concentrations, they work as metabolic enhancers that regulate the uptake of essential nutrients (Khan et al., 2009, Van Oosten et al., 2017). Algae and cyanobacteria produce these substances as a strategy to survive; the role of these substances on their growth is controversial until now (Maschek and Baker,
The purpose of this paper will to be evaluate my diet from a three day log taken early in the semester. The guidelines to our analysis are developed by author Michael Pollan in his book, In the Defense of Food. The last section of this book focuses on the explanation of his opening line, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” These opening sentences comprise seven simple words amounting to three rules of eating. Pollan list several tips for eating throughout his explanation of each rule. We will

These remedies range from medicinal tea extracts, crude tablets and extracts and modern tablets (Shefali and Archana,
existing technologies (i.e. improvements within a given frame of solutions [X6]). Examples of incremental innovation are improvements of the fuel efficiency of the combustion engines in vehicles, or technological improvements that make it possible to extract oil whereas previously not possible. The roots of radical innovation can be derived from Schumpeter [27] who proposes "creative destruction," where innovations destroy the market positions of businesses that commits and sticks to old technology. A radical
