Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction, Purification and Characterization of Fish Chymotrypsin: A ReviewLiang Zhou, Suzanne M. Budge, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Solid fish waste is generated from the unwanted parts of fish including heads, tails, fins, frames, offal (guts, kidney and liver) and skin. It accounts for up to 80% of material from production of surimi, 66% from production of fillet and 27% from production of headed and gutted fish. Currently, fish wastes are disposed off in land-based waste … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 10,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Antiproliferative Activity Evaluation of a Series of Triterpenoids Isolated from Flueggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.)Sod Monkodkaew, Chatchanok Loetchutinat, Narong Nuntasaen, Wilart PompimonProblem statement: Medicinal plants derived anticancer were now being subjects of many research groups especially, the secondary metabolite triterpenoids trees which had enormous potential to inspire and influence modern antiproliferative research. The study aimed to investigate the chemical constitution and their potential use as antiproliferative activity of purified compounds derived from F. virosa. Approach: The F. virosa was selected and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 30 Oct 2009 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Growth and Inhibition Studies of Monosodium Urate Monohydrate Crystals by Different Herbal ExtractsBharat B. Parekh, Sonal R. Vasant, Kashmira P. Tank et al.Problem statement: A large number of people in the world have been suffering from gout for centuries. Gout is the term given to a metabolic condition in which the signs and symptoms results from the deposition of crystals of Monosodium Urate Monohydrate (MSUM) in various connective tissues. Approach: It was quite difficult to grow good quality large MSUM crystals because … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 10,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Botrytis allii Munn the Causal Agent of Neck Rot, the Post Harvest Disease in Onion, by use of a New Iranian Isolate of StreptomycesM. Jorjandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: Soil actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have showed antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. Onion neck rot or gray mold caused by Botrytis allii have imposed economic post harvest damages to onion bulbs and decreased its storage durability and market value. Approach: To investigate for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,942 accessesView PDFCite
