Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant properties of xanthone extract from mangosteen pericarp via microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). The MAE conditions to obtain optimum antioxidant-rich were at 2.24 min irradiation time, 25 mL/g solvent-to-solid ratio 71% ethanol concentration. predicted results for four responses as follows; 320.31 mg gallic acid equivalent/g extract, 83.63% 93.77% inhibition (DPPH...
Herbal plants are traditionally utilized to treat various illnesses. They contain phytochemicals that can be extracted using conventional methods such as maceration, soxhlet, and boiling, well non-conventional including ultrasonic, microwave, others.
This study aims to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of Ficus deltoidea L. on prostate cancer cells, identify active compound/s characterise their mechanism actions. Two farmed varieties were studied, var. angustifolia (FD1) (FD2). Their crude methanolic extracts partitioned into n-hexane (FD1h, FD2h) chloroform (FD1c, FD2c) aqueous (FD1a, FD2a). Antiproliferative fractions (IC50<30 μg/mL, SRB staining PC3 cells) further fractionated. Active dereplicated using...
Nonionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) have drawn a lot of attention in the area modern drug delivery systems due to their salient features such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, chemical stability, low production cost, easy storage and handling toxicity. Niosomes are hydrated vesicular having lamellar bilayer structure formed from nonionic surfactants with or without cholesterol they capable encapsulating bioactive compounds wide range solubility. been evaluated carrier for number...
Spray drying fruit juice powders poses challenges because sugars and organic acids with low molecular weight a glass transition temperature inherently cause stickiness. This study employed hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film to mimic the surface of chamber wall. The Central Composite Design (CCD) using response methodology investigated impact power (X1, Watt) duration oxygenated plasma treatment (X2, minutes) on substrate contact angle (°), reflecting hydrophobicity. To validate...
Community development programs have the potential to enhance adolescents' awareness of risks associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and preventive measures that can be taken mitigate those risks, including HIV/AIDS. The International Development program was organized by Research Centre on Global Emerging Re-emerging Infectious Diseases (RC-GERID) Universitas Airlangga. topic prevention STIs HIV/AIDS among adolescent boarding school students. objective this activity is...
A series 305 extracts from 61 traditional medicinal plants (belonging to 33 different families) used in treating skin diseases Hyderabad Karnataka region were subjected antidermatophytic screening against Trichophyton rubrum (MTCC 1344).Pet ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and aqueous of each plant tested for their antifungal activity using agar well diffusion method at sample concentration 5 & 2.5 mg/ml.The results indicated that out plants, 18 exhibited very effective methanolic...
Mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation are widely accepted as key hallmarks of obesity-induced skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The aim the present study was to evaluate functional roles an anti-inflammatory compound, celastrol, in mitochondrial resistance induced by antimycin A (AMA) human cells. We found that celastrol treatment improved insulin-stimulated glucose uptake activity AMA-treated cells, apparently via PI3K/Akt pathways, with significant enhancement activities....
A growing body of evidence suggests that activation nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways is among the inflammatory mechanism involved in development insulin resistance and chronic low-grade inflammation adipose tissues derived from obese animal human subjects. Nevertheless, little known about roles NF-κB regulating mitochondrial function tissues. In present study, we sought to investigate direct effects celastrol (potent inhibitor) upon dysfunction-induced 3T3-L1 adipocytes....
Abstract The high market demand for collagen as a biomaterial has prompted additional studies into improved methods of extraction without sacrificing the overall quality collagen. use clean technology sustainable recently gained popularity due to its efficiency and minimal waste production. This review focuses on improving processing based three essential steps: pre‐treatment (fermentation, shear mechanical homogenisation, ultrasound), (ultrasound‐assisted extraction, microwave‐assisted...
Johor as one of the states Malaysia is a good geographic location for meliponiculture activity. In this study, ten samples stingless bee honey from each regions and sample obtained Institute Bioproduct Development, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai were analyzed physicochemical properties honey. The analyses including moisture, total soluble solids, ash, pH, free acidity, conductivity, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, protein, carbohydrate, fat, dietary fibre, phenolic content (TPC),...
Phytochemical compounds from plants provide good nutrient value and give immense health benefits to human health. The selection of a suitable extraction method is vital obtain the targeted phytochemical compounds. In this study, in white flower variety Melastoma malabathricum aerial parts were extracted using Conventional Soxhlet Extraction (CSE), Ultrasound-Assisted (UAE) Modified (MUAE). performance was evaluated based on analysis including total flavonoid content (TFC), phenolic (TPC),...
Spray drying is a widely utilized method in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries for producing powdered products. However, recurring challenge this process persistent issue of surface stickiness, which diminishes product quality operational efficiency. This paper examines current trend stickiness spray explores physicochemical approaches to mitigate fouling enhance overall productivity. The often attributed formation lumps on chamber surfaces, adversely affecting final product’s...
