We evaluated the antioxidant and porcine pancreatic lipase inhibition (PPLI) activities of 90 plants extracts. The activity was measured using free-radical scavenging capacity (DPPH) reducing power (RP) assays. assay used to determine PPLI plant Among extracts examined, 41.0 % crude showed antilipase more than 50%. most active by means IC50 value were Camellia sinensis (0.5 mg/ml), Ceratonia siliqua (leaves) (0.8 mg/mL), Curcuma longa Sarcopoterium spinosum (1.2 Mentha spicata mg/mL). DPPH...

In the present study, medicinal aromatic plant Mentha spicata has been investigated as a source of essential oil (EO) and pharmaceuticals. The quantity composition EO from M. cultivated in Palestine were analyzed seasonally over three-year period. A significantly higher content was produced summer fall months (2.54–2.79%). Chemical analysis revealed 31 compounds with oxygenated monoterpenes (90%) most abundant components followed by sesquiterpene monoterpene hydrocarbons (6 3%,...

Lavandula pubescens Decne (LP) is one of the three species growing wildly in Dead Sea Valley, Palestine. The products derived from plant, including essential oil (EO), have been used Traditional Arabic Palestinian Herbal Medicine (TAPHM) for centuries as therapeutic agents. EO traditionally believed to sedative, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antidepressive, antiamnesia, and antiobesity properties. This study was therefore aimed assess vitro bioactivities associated with LP EO. separated by...

Drought is the major environmental factor limiting wheat production worldwide. Developing novel cultivars with greater drought tolerance most viable solution to ensure sustainable agricultural and alleviating threats food-security. Here we established a core-collection of landraces modern durum (WheatME, n = 36), from Middle East region (Jordan, Palestine Israel) aiming at unlocking genetic morpho-physiological adaptation semi-arid environment conditions. Interestingly, analysis WheatME...

Gastrointestinal parasites are one of the main restrictions to small ruminant production. Their pathological importance is primarily related major production losses, in quantity or quality, induced by direct action worms. Control these based exclusively on frequent use anthelmintic drugs. However, resistance anthelmintics worm populations after commercialisation chemical drugs now widespread. Therefore, there a need find new natural resources ensure sustainable and effective treatment...
