Medicinal plants still play an important role in the Kurdish community. Sulaymaniyah Province South Kurdistan (Iraq) has a great diversity of plants, including medicinal yet very few scattered ethnobotanical studies conducted are available scientific literature. Thus study ethnobotany may be crucial for understanding local plant uses and their relationships to surrounding areas. Therefore, objective this investigation was document traditional among healers southern Kurdistan.An survey...
Nanotechnology recently emerged among the most exciting science-related innovations. Nanotechnology-produced metal nanoparticles got a lot of attention. This is emerging as rapidly developing field due to its effective applications that targeted manufacturing new materials at nanoscale level. There considerable interest in application nanomaterials many areas industry including agrifood and biomedical products. In area, have benefits diverse which include fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides,...
Now-a-days nanotechnology is one of the booming fields for researchers. With increase in industrialization mainly textile, paper, medicine, plastic industry, there an concentration organic dyes as pollutant. Release harmful water bodies has become a serious issue, most are carcinogenic and mutagenic nature causes various diseases. Therefore, requirement to find out new approaches efficient treatment effluent containing dyes. Nanoparticles potential solutions this problem. They can be...
Metal oxide photocatalyst is one of the promising photocatalysts in water remediation process. The present work aimed at synthesizing green production TiO 2 (G‐TiO ) nanoparticles from mulberry plant extract. Plant phytochemicals serve a different role to produce nanophase particles. bioreductant safer and noxious free compound for G‐TiO nanoparticles. synthesized anatase phase their crystallite size 24 nm were characterized X‐ray diffraction analysis. Ti‐O bonding derivatives reduction...
Plant foraging is a millennia-old activity still practiced by many people in the Middle East, particularly Fertile Crescent region, where several socioeconomic, ecological, and cultural factors shape this practice. This study seeks to understand drivers of plant complex region characterized highly diverse linguistic, religious, groups. Our aims document wild plants used Kurds Western Iran, identify similarities differences among Hawraman Mukriyan Kurdish groups compare our findings with...
There is a direct link between hyperphosphatemia and increased mortality in end-stage kidney disease, which can be attributed to the higher consumption of ultra-processed foods. Thus, study aimed analyze total phosphorus content relative amount available various manufactured processed foods (MPF) home (HPF), specifically for use by dialysis patients. The results were found range (26 290 mg P/100g). highest concentration (290 mg/100g) was nan bread followed boiled eggs (255mg/100g), chicken...
Pharmaceutical active ingredients from medicinal plants can be seen as a gateway to drug discovery with the importance of medical and health care. Perilla frutescens has been traditionally used for flavoring purposes, thus aromatic compounds antimicrobial activity twelve accessions three solvent extracts (distilled water, methanol ethyl acetate) P. L. Britt grown under open field was studied. RauTiaTo showed relatively high essential oil (EO) content EO yield, followed by 203P J1 genotypes....
This article aims to contribute the limited literature on traditional gastronomic knowledge concerning acorn-based bread by ethnographically documenting ingredients, preparation techniques and consumption practices of baked goods made from acorn seeds flour that are still used today or at least present in living memory. A qualitative comparative case method was adopted, ethnographic data were gathered 67 people six selected Mediterranean, Central Asian Middle Eastern countries. The analysis...
Domestication of new plants is one the key (ongoing) phenomena in history agriculture. Wild are ancestors current and future crops largest reservoir genetic diversity for crop breeding improvement. food species have been used human nutrition since ancient times often object strategies coping with emergency situations, such as natural disasters conflicts. We analyzed qualitative data collected through ethnobotanical field studies conducted recent years five selected Eurasian regions...
Perilla frutescens, perilla is a functional food, spice and medicinal herb ornamental plant in the family of Lamiaceae. Thus, macro-morphological characteristics, phenolic acids, antioxidants twelve accessions P. frutescens grown under open field were studied. High polymorphism was found among macroscopic features genotypes showed variable results. can be classified into two clearly phenotypes green purple, within these other colours appeared. A good level biomass production recorded for...
Broccoli is considered a highly valuable vegetable due to its significant enrichment with health-promoting biochemicals. A greenhouse experiment was conducted evaluate the responses of broccoli plants different concentrations titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) applied via foliar spray and organic fertilizer (OF) soil. The results revealed that 40 mg/L TiO2NPs had greatest effect on leaf dry matter (16.38%), total polyphenolic content (39.77 μg GAE/g FM), nitrogen (1.93%), phosphorus...
<p>Kurdistan represents a crucial region in the Middle East for understanding patterns of human evolution use food plants and especially wild vegetables as well assessing influences major, surrounding bio-cultural macro-area.</p><p>In this research, an ethnobotanical filed study focusing on traditionally gathered consumed during spring was conducted few villages Western Hawraman area, South Kurdistan (Iraq), both among Sunni Muslims Yarsanis (Ahl-e Haqq), latter which...
Allelopathic effects of corn (Zea mays) extracts was studied, against seed germination and seedling growth Phalaris minor, Helianthus annuus, Triticumaestivum, Sorghum halepense, Z. mays. Bioassay results showed that aqueous root shoot, markedly affected germination, other parameters compared with related controls. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence various phytochemicals such as tannins, phlobatannins, flavonoids, terpenoids alkaloids in both roots shoot extracts....
Wounds, burns, cuts, and scarring may cause a serious problem for human health if left untreated, medicinal plants are identified as potentially useful wound healing. Therefore, the study focused on ethnophytotherapy practices healing from an unexplored area, Pakistan. Ethnophytotherapeutic information was collected through well-planned questionnaire interview methods by targeting 80 informants (70 males 10 females), in area. Data analyzed quantitative tools like use value (UV) credibility...
