Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Biodiesel Production from jatropha curcas oilHaruna Musa, Daniel Eric, Alkhairu Hassan et al.In this study, a mathematical model for the trans-esterification reaction of jatropha curcas seed Oil (JCO) was developed using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) in terms of operational variables such as temperature (50 to 80°C), catalyst concentration (0.7 to 1% in relation to oil mass) and methanol/oil ratio (3:1-9:1), at fixed reaction time (90 min) and mixing intensity. Biodiesel was produced by … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2021 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntifungal Activity of Jatropha Curcas Linn on Candida Albicans and Candida Tropicalis Associated with Neonatal and Infantile Infections in Yola, NigeriaJames Hamuel Doughari, Martha AbrahamOne hundred and eighty (180) stool samples collected of neonates and infants from three selected health facilities in Yola, Adamawa State Nigeria. The samples were subjected to both microscopic, biochemical test and cultural identification. Bromocresol green agar and Germ tube test was used to identify Candida species. Culture of the stool samples on SDA yielded 32 yeast cells with Candida … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 7 Sep 2021 · 7,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGastroprotective Effects of β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside from Bridelia ferruginea Stem BarkEjike Marcellus Nnamani, Peter Achunike Akah, Charles Ogbonnaya Okoli et al.The methanol extract of Bridelia ferruginea Benth. (Euphorbiaceae) stem bark (BFME) was partitioned in chloroform-methanol-water (2:2:1) mixture to obtain the Chloroform (CF) and Aqueous Methanol (AMF) fractions. The BFME, CF and AMF were screened for antiulcer activity using indomethacin-induced ulcer as activity guide. The CF provided the highest gastroprotection and was subsequently fractionated in a silica gel (60-200 mesh) column … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2021 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Capacity, Total Phenol Contents and Phytochemical Screening of Citrullus colocynthis Crust, Pulp and Seeds ExtractsFaten Hameed Thamer, Noah Thamer, Anhar Alhamzi et al.In this study, the phytochemical screening of Citrullus colocynthis (C. colocynthis) crust, pulp, and seed extracts was studied to evaluate and compare their antioxidant capacities and total phenol contents. C. colocynthis fruit, including crust, pulp, and seed, was extracted using n-hexan, methanol, and 1, 1, 2 trichloroethane, respectively, using a soxhlet. Phytochemical screening, antioxidant capacity using the Ferric-Bipyridine Reducing Capacity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2023 · 5,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of α-MF Signal Peptide Without Spacer for Producing Insulin Aspart Precursor in Pichia pastoris KM71Popi Asri Kurniatin, Fifi Fitriyah Masduki, Neni Nurainy et al.A spacer peptide (Glu-Ala repeats) connects N-terminal of a polypeptide precursor to the signal peptide of α-mating factor (α-MF) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During the polypeptide precursor secretion, the signal peptide will be first cleaved by signal peptidase in the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by Kex2 endopeptidase and finally the spacer peptide is removed by dipeptidyl aminopeptidase in the Golgi apparatus. In … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2019 · 9,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Organic Carbon Pool and its Storage in Arial Beel Wetland Soils of BangladeshMd. Faruque Hossain, ASM Maksud Kamal, Monera Akhter Eva et al.The actual quantity of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) stored in wetlands can only be estimated within a broad range of uncertainty. An accurate assessment of the size and distribution of the SOC storages in wetland resources is very difficult to obtain, therefore, the proposed research objective is to measure SOC storage and its pool on wetland soils of Arial beel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 17 Aug 2020 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Properties of Selected Cowpea Varieties Tested in Bovine Peripheral BloodSarah Adjei-Fremah, Louis EN Jackai, Mulumebet WorkuCowpea is an important grain legume with a dual purpose function as a food and feed resource. Cowpea contains phenolic compounds that are beneficial to human and animal health. We evaluated the phenolic content, condensed tannin content and antioxidant capacities of methanol extracts of seed and leaf of seven varieties commonly used in food and animal feed. The total phenolic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2015 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
