Selection of cultivars high-value metabolites such as flavonoids—with acceptable yields—can lead to elite for mass propagation in various industries. A field experiment was carried out a randomized complete block design (RCBD) evaluate and some yield-related morphological data. In the present investigation, first time 13 flavonoid components nine Iranian damask were compared using LC-MS/MS. As...

The use of higher plants for the production plant growth biostimulants is receiving increased attention among scientists, farmers, investors, consumers and regulators. aim present study was to examine possibility converting commonly occurring in Europe (St. John’s wort, giant goldenrod, common dandelion, red clover, nettle, valerian) into valuable easy bio-products. biostimulating activity botanical extracts their effect on chemical composition celeriac were identified. Plant-based extracts,...

The modern agricultural sector faces the challenge of addressing needs fast-growing global population. This process should be both high-yielding and sustainable, without creating risks for environment human health. Therefore, natural products are gaining attention in production safe nutritious food. In a systematic effort to develop affordable effective biostimulants, we examined impact botanical extracts on growth physiological parameters radish plants under field conditions....

Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. is a species of Apiaceae endemic to the Zagros Mountains in Iran. In present investigation, for first time, polyphenolic compounds and flavonoids its leaves were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). As result, p-coumaric acid, ferulic caffeic chlorogenic acetyl phloroglucinol, vanillic m-coumaric 4-methylsiringol as main phenolic compounds, while 3-hydroxyflavone, flavone, quercetin, rutin, neohesperidin, polydatin, diosmin flavonoid...

Nutraceuticals and functional foods are gaining more attention amongst consumers interested in nutritious food. The consumption of foodstuffs with a high content phytochemicals has been proven to provide various health benefits. application biostimulants is potential strategy fortify cultivated plants beneficial bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, it not yet established whether the proposed higher (St. John’s wort, giant goldenrod, common dandelion, red clover, nettle, valerian) appropriate...

Ilex paraguariensis, the holly tree, is a plant with recognized biological properties, whose aqueous infusions are known as “Yerba mate”, that regulate lipid metabolism, reduce obesity, and improve brain stimulation. In present study, effect of standardized saponin terpenoid fractions European taxon, aquifolium, on blood biochemical parameters in rat model metabolic disorder, (fa/fa) Zucker, presented. The profiles volatile two species six varieties were investigated. After selecting best...

The leaves of Ilex paraguariensis (known as Yerba mate), used a popular beverage, are very well-recognized plant material with various biological activities, including analeptic (because caffeine), anti-obesity (phenolics, saponins), antimicrobial, and antiviral saponins). Here, the chemical compositions two European species (× meserveae aquifolium) three varieties each were investigated. terpenoid, saponin, polyphenolic fractions submitted for LC-MS or GC-MS analysis against standard Mate...

Plants of the genus Ilex are widespread throughout world, with its best-known representative being paraguraiensis from South America. The European species aquifolium shows similarities in terpenoid, sugar and phenolic acid profiles. Using aqueous extracts as a supplement Wistar rats showed that, despite lack caffeine, it had strong hypocholesterolemic effects. In addition, reduction oxidative lipid degradation decrease hepatic steatosis histopathological studies were observed. results this...

Protozoa, in both humans and animals, are one of the leading causes disease. International programmes introduced many countries have helped reduce incidence However, it has recently become increasingly difficult to achieve goals set for coming years. One main reasons this, as with other pathogenic organisms, such bacteria fungi, is increasing resistance current methods treating preventing infection. Therefore, new therapies high efficacy needed. In present study, novel mixtures essential...

According to the WHO, number of overweight people (BMI ≥ 25) and obese 30) is constantly growing. On other hand, elderly (≥60 years old) in 2020 reached 1.4 billion worldwide. Both mentioned groups demonstrate their individual characteristic appetite disorders. In light side effects stimulating drugs, which interfere with diabetics, hypertension thrombosis medicines or diet supplements doubtful effectiveness reducing appetite, new natural alternatives are highly demanded. Therefore, present...

Hemp is used as a source of fiber, oil and bioactive substances including volatile cannabinoid-containing substances. This paper presents, for the first time, results on evaluation drying methods (convective, vacuum-microwave combined convective pre-drying finishing drying) hemp leaves qualitative quantitative changes in secondary metabolites, essential oils, cannabinoids sterols. A ranking descriptive test was also performed. Drying kinetics presented using three models, logarithmic,...

Biofilms are surface-attached, structured microbial communities displaying higher tolerance to antimicrobial agents in comparison planktonic cells. An estimated 80% of all infections thought be biofilm-related. The drying pipeline new antibiotics efficient against biofilm-forming pathogens urges the search for alternative routes treatment.
