Prevention of COVID-19 is paramount importance for public health. Some natural extracts might have the potential to suppress infection. Therefore, this study aimed design a standardised, efficient, and safe chewable tablet formulation (with propolis three herbal extracts) possible prevention against two variants (Wuhan B.1.36 Omicron BA.1.1) SARS-CoV-2 virus other viral infections. Green tea, bilberry, dried pomegranate peel, were selected purpose. Cytotoxicity antiviral activity each...
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects storax balsam, which a kind sweet gum obtained from Liquidambar orientalis Mill trees, on cell viability, cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in human lymphocyte vitro. We studied genotoxic extract balsam (SE) using sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test system. Also cytotoxic inhibitory proliferation SE were evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay (WST-1) assay. SCE frequency was increased when cells treated with 1.6 4.0 µg/mL concentrations (...
A broad range of evidence has confirmed that natural products and essential oils might have the potential to suppress COVID-19 infection. Therefore, this study aimed develop an oral/throat spray formulation for prophylactic use in oral cavity or help treatment modalities. Based on a reference survey, several oils, cold-pressed oil, propolis were selected, cytotoxicity antiviral activity each component developed examined against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)...
Watermelon is a health-promoting fruit in terms of being an excellent source lycopene and gastronomically pleasing. However, its consumption restricted to certain season because it usually consumed as fresh. Therefore, utilisation watermelon by processing into more stable product that available throughout the year would be beneficial. In this research, was utilised pekmez (concentrated juice) concentrating juice open boilers until 68°Brix, changes some physicochemical properties, colour...
Antioxidant activities of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) are related to the amount phenolic compounds, mainly carnosol (C), carnosic acid (CA) and rosmarinic (RA). In this study, it was aimed optimize process conditions accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), ultrasound assisted (UAE), supercritical CO2 (SFE) obtain high total C CA in extract. A Box-Behnken design applied investigate variables. De-oiled by hydrodistillation, used extractions. The amounts C+CA were 18.92 mg/100 mg for...
