Postharvest application of prochloraz fungicide is commercially practiced to control anthracnose, a postharvest disease in avocado. Increasing consumer concern regarding food safety and demand for organically produced fruits make it necessary search natural environmentally friendly alternative products processes the fruit industry.A combination modified atmosphere packaging (MAP; ∼8% CO₂, 2% O₂) plus thyme oil (TO) was evaluated on incidence severity physiological disorders (grey pulp,...
The study was undertaken to evaluate the antihyperglycemic potential of mangiferin purified from methanolic root extract Salacia chinensis (S. chinensis) in control and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. administered orally at a dose 40 mg/kg weight per day (30 days) STZ-induced treated rats significantly decreased level blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin as well increased insulin hemoglobin. activities hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycogen...
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of diabetes complications. The aim present study was to investigate beneficial effect oral administration mangiferin streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats by measuring oxidative indicators liver and kidney as well ameliorative properties. Administration significantly decreased blood glucose increased plasma insulin levels. activities antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)...
Summary Mango fruit has high commercial value; however, major postharvest losses are encountered throughout the supply chain due to diseases. These results lead search for natural fungicide diseases control. The antifungal effects of five essential oils (thyme, clove, cinnamon, anise and vitex) were assessed by disc volatilisation method. Thyme oil vapours at 5 μL per Petriplate, clove cinnamon 8 Petriplate showed 100% growth inhibition mango pathogens in vitro . GC / MS analysis thymol...
Oxidative stress in diabetic tissues is a consequence of free radical accumulation with concurrently impaired natural antioxidants status and results oxidative tissue damage. The present study investigated the protective effects mangiferin against pancreatic β-cell damage on antioxidant defense systems streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rats. Diabetes was experimentally induced by single intraperitoneal injection STZ. biomarkers such as malondialdehyde, hydroperoxides, reduced glutathione (GSH)...
Abstract The antifungal activity of three essential oils thyme: ( T hymus vulgaris L ), peppermint, M entha piperita ) and citronella C ymbopogen nardus ); against two avocado postharvest fungal pathogens: olletotrichum gloeosporioides (anthracnose), asiodiplodia theobromae (stem‐end rot); peach onilinia fructicola (brown rot), R hizopus stolonifer rot) P enicillium expensum (blue mould was assayed using a disc volatilization method. In vitro study revealed that in the vapor phase, thyme oil...
