Essential oils (EOs) are known to possess lethal effects on various pests and insects ecologically safe. The larvicidal adulticidal activities of Helianthus annuus (L.) seed EO (HASEO) against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in silico inhibitory action its GCMS constituents Ae. acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated. Larvae adult (320 each) grouped into 4 (A - D) exposed DMSO, 1500, 3000 4500 ppm HASEO DMSO respectively. Mortality was recorded after 0, 15, 30 45 min. exhibited stronger...

Some therapeutic and beneficial health properties of the Theobroma cacao leaf have been documented. This study evaluated ameliorative effect cacao-fortified feed against potassium bromate-induced oxidative damage in male Wistar rats. Thirty rats were randomly grouped into A-E. Except for E (the negative control), other groups administered 0.5 ml 10 mg/kg body weight bromate daily using oral gavage then allowed access to water ad libitum. Groups B, C, D fed with %, 20 30 % leaf-fortified...

Celiac disease ranks highest among immunological disorders attributed to gluten consumption thus, posing great demands on gluten-free products. Rice is a cereal with promising dietary applications. Ofada rice, native southwestern Nigerian variety, can be improved sourdough technology develop functional aglutenic bread. rice bread (ORSB) was made Fructilactobacillus fructivorans RY1, Weissella viridescens RY9 and Lactobacillus acidophilus RY10 as individual combined starter cultures. Physical...

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a common fruit tree that grows in several tropical and subtropical parts of the world. The aim this study was to employ use liquid-liquid fractionation investigative comparative antibacterial potential crude extracts leaves bark against selected food isolates; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumonia, Bacillus cereus Staphylococcus aureus. phytochemical analysis extract showed presence tannin, phenol, flavonoid terpenoid all extract,...

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a common fruit tree that grows in several tropical and subtropical parts of the world. The aim this research to justify use liquid-liquid fractionation method determine comparatively antibacterial potential crude extracts leaves bark against selected organisms obtained from food, isolates includes; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumonia, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus. phytochemical assay process was conducted using approved...

It is well established that earthworms and their products promote plant growth improve crop yield, but more information about mechanisms of action, especially at cellular level, required. This study assessed the enzyme bacterial activities vermifluid secreted by a tropical wetland earthworm, Alma millsoni. The effects on mitotic root Allium cepa (onions) were evaluated. Vermifluid using standard procedures. Mitotic evaluated assay squash technique. Root lengths in onions grown graduated...

Salmonella Typhi is a major global concern in many low- and middle-income countries. In addition, the emergence persistence of drug resistant strains has increased impact this disease. Plant metabolites have been explored traditionally scientifically as antimicrobial agents. Thus, study was designed to investigate potential acetone leaf fractions H. indica against S. Typhi. Dried pulverized leaves were extracted using cold maceration with after defatting n-hexane. The extract concentrated...

Studies have supported ethnobotanical claims on Waltheria indica L. Malvaceae. However, its standardisation parameters are yet to be defined. This study conducted pharmacognostic evaluation and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) develop standards for indica. The plant was collected, identified, authenticated. morphological anatomical characters were studied by organoleptic microscopy, respectively. Physicochemical constants phytochemical contents determined. Chromatographic...

Introduction The valorization of agricultural waste from indigenous sub-Saharan African food processes remains underexplored. By-products the processing Parkia biglobosa seeds into condiments are often regarded as pollutants. This research assessed their potential for development in various industrial applications. Materials and methods study employed a standardized protocol adopted P. seed condiments, enabling quantification by-products generated percentage. A comparative analysis proximate...

Dermatological infectious disease remains one of the least in terms treatment consideration, especially developing countries with high prevalence. Based on World Health Organization initiative towards traditional and complementary medicine (WHA62.13); this study identifies recent developments scientific research gaps search for affordable plant-based to combat threat skin diseases. Bibliometric methodology was adopted study. Relevant documents were retrieved based well structured query from...

Abstract Background: Coronaviruses have emerged from animal reservoirs over the past decades to create severe illness and death. They are SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV more recently, SARS-CoV2. This study is focused at assessing characteristics of published works involving SARS-CoV global level; using bibliometric analysis. Methods: Peer-reviewed publications were retrieved Scopus database between 2012 2019. Data analyzed in terms year, journal number publications, international collaboration patterns,...
