Isolated compound was subjected to Thin Layer Chromatography and spectral analysis such as column and UV-Visible … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2019 · 7,959 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChemical Coagulation/Flocculation Processes for Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Olive Mill Wastewater: A Comprehensive ReviewMounia Achak, Fatima Elayadi, Wafaa BoumyaOlive oil extraction processes generate three phases: Olive oil, solid residue (pomace) and aqueous liquor Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW). OMW causes serious environmental deteriorations such as coloring of natural waters, alteration of soil quality, phytotoxicity and odor nuisance. The direct discharge of this effluent into the soil bring various negative effects on the environment, due to its high load of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 30 Mar 2019 · 10,494 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsChemical Profile of Sotol Analyzed by Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas ChromatographyHeliodoro de la Garza, Juan Buenrostro, María Reyes-Vega et al.Problem statement: Sotol is a distilled spirit made from Dasylirion spp., a plant (called sotol) that grows in the wilds of Northern Mexico and west Texas and New Mexico. This alcoholic beverage is produced in a similar process to the more common artisanal tequila and mescal. Sotol is also now beginning to achieve international recognition; however there are few commercial … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,334 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of an Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) Toothpaste to Combat Gum and Tooth PainMunashe K. F. Chakamanga, Ashley Kumalo K, Dirk Hamadziripi MGum inflammation also known as gingivitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of dental plaque that forms on teeth. The inflammation triggers pain in the gums and surrounding tissues due to increased blood flow and immune activity aimed at combating the bacterial infection. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of Yarrow-based toothpaste in reducing gum inflammation. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2026 · 420 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQualitative Analysis of the Chemical Composition of Cinnamomum tamala leaves and Biological ActivityQianwen Gong, Pin Chen, Linyang Wang, Shuge TianCinnamomum tamala (Buch.-Ham.) Nees and Ebermaier. (Lauraceae) is a less explored medicinal plant in Uyghur medicine, with limited knowledge about its non-volatile compounds. We utilized chemical pre-screening in conjunction with UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS to analyze the phytochemical makeup of C. tamala leaves. Total polyphenols were measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while total flavonoids were quantified through NaNO2-Al (NO3)3 colorimetric analysis across four … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Monitoring of Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Analytical Chemistry and Biological Assessment ApproachesChangjin Li, Jing Huo, Zijun Dou et al.Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic environments pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health. These compounds interfere with hormonal regulation at low concentrations and have non-monotonic dose-response relationships, posing challenges to conventional risk assessment. This review systematically compares current EDC monitoring methods, including instrumental chemical analysis and receptor-based biological detection systems, to evaluate sensitivity thresholds, sample throughput, and mechanistic selectivity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,081 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Methyl Jasmonate and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Antioxidant Potential and Metabolomic Profiles of Zingiberaceae RhizomesHenny Lieke Rampe, Hanny Hesky Pontororing, Hanry Jefry Lengkong et al.The rhizomes of Zingiberaceae plants are used as cooking spices, medicines, cosmetics and beverage ingredients. Zingiberaceae rhizomes have the potential to be immunostimulants, antioxidants and immunomodulators. Antioxidants are chemical compounds that bind free oxygen radicals and prevent free radicals from damaging healthy cells. This research aimed to analyze the antioxidant potential and metabolomic compounds of the rhizomes of the Zingiberaceae … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 10 Apr 2026 · 1,311 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Validation of Selected Compounds from the GC-MS Profile of Abies numidica Essential Oil and their Antibacterial EffectsAbdelouahab Dehimat, Boudjellal Fayssal, Salem Dounya et al.This work examined the chemical composition of the Algerian endemic tree Abies numidica (Pinaceae) and investigated the antibacterial potential of three major constituents of its essential oil-Santene, Linalyl acetate, and 2,6-Octadiene-2,6-dimethyl-as reported in previously published GC-MS data. Computational antibacterial screening was carried out by docking the selected compounds onto the bacterial proteins 5Z9N (Staphylococcus aureus) and 3AQC (Micrococcus luteus).
