Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUltrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction of Polysaccharides from Waste Corn Bract: Process Optimization, Characterization, Antioxidant and Anti-Diabetic PotentialsYihui Liu, Yayi Li, Na Niu et al.Corn bract is the main agricultural waste of corn production and processing. Little information is focused on its value-added utilization. In the present study, the Ultrasound-Assisted Enzymatic Extraction (UAEE) was used for the first time to extract Corn Bract Polysaccharides (CBPs). The optimum conditions of UAEE for CBPs extraction were: Cellulase amount of 0.7%, enzymolysis for 58 min, and ultrasound … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2022 · 6,129 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Effective and Viable DNA Extraction Protocol for FFPE Tissues and its Effect on Downstream Molecular ApplicationSai Sushmitha Kontham, Charles Emmanuel Jebaraj Walter, Manjula Raju et al.Archival Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissues are a readily available source of DNA for retrospective studies including genetic predisposition. FFPE tissues present significant challenges for extraction of pure genomic DNA in adequate amounts due to the harsh fixation conditions and long-term storage associated with samples. The aim of the study is to propose a simple, in-expensive, viable protocol for the extraction … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2020 · 7,379 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn-vitro Larvicidal Potentials of Achillea Extracts on Strongylid LarvaeLyudmila Lider, Yerlan Suleimen, Gulnur Mamytbekova et al.Strongylid infections remain among the most widespread and clinically significant helminthoses in horses, with increasing concerns regarding anthelmintic resistance. Against this background, we investigated the in-vitro larvicidal activity of Achillea salicifolia and Achillea setacea extracts against strongylid larvae. We evaluated concentrations of 20, 30, and 40% at exposure times of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h (n = 3). Larval … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 21 Jul 2026 · 1,039 accessesView PDF Cite
