  • Antioxidant potential and antibacterial activities of Allium cepa (onion) and Allium sativum (garlic) against the multidrug resistance bacteria

    • Authors: Oyawoye, O. M.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Olotu, T. M.; Nzekwe, S. C.; Idowu, J. A.; Abdullahi, T. A.; Babatunde, S. O.; Ridwan, I. A.; Batiha, Gaber E.; Idowu, Nike; Alorabi, Mohammed; Faidah, Hani (2022)

  • The total phenolic contents of A. cepa and A. Sativum are represented in Figs. 1 and 2 and Table 1. The phenolic contents of A. cepa (onions) and A. sativum (garlic) are interpreted in Table 1 for both the aqueous extract and ethanol extracts. The highest phenolic content was observed in the A. cepa aqueous extract and the lowest in A. sativum ethanol extracts. Garlic, red, brown, and white onions showed a varying number of phytochemicals. The aqueous extract of A. cepa (0.5550 ± 0.36) and A. Sativum (0.2543 ± 0.21) was significantly higher in phenolic content compared to the ethanolic extract (0.1520 ± 0.15) and 0.1322 ± 0.10, respectively

  • Active compounds and biological activity of in vitro cultures of some Echinacea purpurea varieties

    • Authors: Rady, M.R.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Aboul-Enein, A.M.; Ibrahim, M.M. (2018)

  • ata revealed the effect of yeast extract on calli of the two varieties. Double Decker calli recorded maximum caffeic acid derivatives and total hydrolysable sugars after 30 days of cultivation using 1.5 g/l and 1.0 g/l yeast extract respectively whereas, in Rubinstern calli, the maximum caffeic acid derivatives and total hydrolysable sugars were recorded at 1.0 g/l after 30 days. Using 50 mM jasmonic acid, Double Decker calli recorded maximum values of caffeic acid derivatives and total hydrolysable sugars after 15 days. In Rubinstern calli, caffeic acid derivatives and total hydrolysable sugar recorded maximum values after 30 days at 200 mM jasmonic acid and after 15 days at 50 mM jasmonic acid, respectively.

  • Serum electrolyte balance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens fed diets containing varied levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG)

    • Authors: Olarotimi, Olumuyiwa Joseph;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2020)

  • The results revealed that MSG inclusion above 0.75 g/kg diet significantly (P < 0.05) increased the serum Na+ and K+ concentrations of the broiler chickens when compared with birds on the control diet, whereas the serum Cl− concentration significantly (P < 0.05) decreased from 0.50 g MSG/kg diet inclusion level. On the other hand, MSG inclusion level above 0.50 g/kg diet increased the serum MDA concentration (from 2.60 ± 0.01 to 4.60 ± 0.00) of the birds while serum GSH-Px and T-AOC concentrations significantly (P < 0.05) reduced from 170 ± 0.28 to 120 ± 0.26 and 3.30 ± 0.01 to 1.70 ± 0.01, respectively.

  • A comprehensive review of the benefits of Taraxacum officinale on human health

    • Authors: Napoli, Agnese Di;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Zucchetti, Pietro (2021)

  • We searched for the main medicinal properties of Taraxacum officinale in the scientific literature, using the PubMed database. We selected 54 studies and we described twelve therapeutic properties, which are reported in previous studies. These properties are diuretic, hepatoprotective, anticolitis, immunoprotective, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antiarthritic, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antioxidant and anticancer effects. We also found that the most frequently reported therapeutic effects include hepatoprotective, antioxidant and anticancer activities.

  • Metabolomics of potential contenders conferring antioxidant property to varied polar and non-polar solvent extracts of Edgaria darjeelingensis C.B.Clarke

    • Authors: Chakraborty, Sourav;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Majumder, Soumya; Ghosh, Arindam; Saha, Sumedha; Bhattacharya, Malay (2021)

  • DPPH scavenging activity of solvent extracts showed more potential towards the polar end with its maximum activity in methanolic extract (84.64%). Acetone extract showed more ferric reducing power than the ethanol fractions. Maximum flavonoid quantification was recorded in ethanol extract. GC–MS of methanolic extract detected 39 compounds of which 22 have preventive and curing properties for several ailments. Thirteen compounds were reported with antioxidant activity and cover an area of 63.92% among the total detected compounds by GC–MS. 1,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxy-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid; Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester; ß sitosterol and Phytol are present in significant quantity and are the prime candidates conferring antioxidant potential. Chromatographically fractionalized methanol...

  • Biochemical profile, non-enzymatic antioxidants and functional attributes of raw and thermally processed West African Mud Creeper, Tympanotonos fuscatus var radula (Linnaeus, 1758)

    • Authors: Moruf, Rasheed Olatunji;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2021)

  • Protein formed the highest percentage both in raw and steamed samples with the mean values of 47.61 g/100 g and 46.04 g/100 g respectively. The total mineral content was higher in raw sample (237.40 mg 100 g−1) than in steamed sample (201.05 mg 100 g−1), in the decreasing order of phosphorus > sodium > calcium > potassium > magnesium. Raw sample had the highest proportion of energy contribution, which was from protein (PEP = 53.1%), while the least energy contribution was from fat (PEF = 3.1%) in steamed sample. The cholesterol content of raw T. fuscatus var radula was 0.15 ± 0.01 mg/100 g, being reduced by steaming to 0.12 ± 0.02 mg/100 g, while a nonsignificantly lower percentage of oleic was also observed in steamed sample (0.98 ± 0.01%). After steaming, the values of TBA, ascorb...
