    Antioxidant is defined as, “a molecule capable of inhibiting the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals. In turn, these radicals can start chain reactions. When the chain reaction occurs in a cell, it can cause damage or death of the cell. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. They do this by being oxidized themselves. (Wikipedia, 2011 1)” These antioxidant rich berries aide skin by reducing the effects of aging and providing better elasticity. An E-zine article stated, “Regardless of whether it is used as a topical cream or as an oral pill, the Acai berry…

    Source: Leihana C. TaguiamAbstract:Fungi are one-celled organisms that cause discomfort and health risks in living organisms. The purpose of this study is to control the growth of fungal pathogens. Aspergillus flavus, Penicillum specie and Curvularia specie. By using pure extract of lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) and 50/50 combination of both.The study focuses in determining which of the three treatments will inhibit specific fungi. After being tested and identified which among of the three treatments is the best, we suggested using it as an additive in cosmetics and medicine.In-vitro testing comprised the methods of identifying the anti-fungal property of the treatments. From the collection of plant samples to reading and analyzing of data, fungus growth took for four days then the treatment assignment was conducted. The fungi must have similar growth rate to have accurate results.Results showed that pure extract of Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) is the only treatment that controls the growth of Aspergillus flavus. The two other treatments failed to inhibit all three fungal pathogens. Pure extract of Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) can be used as an additive to some cosmetics and medicine because of its anti-fungal property against Aspergillus flavus. Adjustments of concentrations should be conducted upon Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) to prove the effectiveness and to test its suitability as a moisturizer. Further experimentation may also identify the active component of Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus) that makes it as an anti-fungal against Aspergillus flavus. Future researchers can use the pure Lemon grass extract (Cymbopogon citratus) as an additive to cosmetics and develop this to…

    The project, utilization of lemon grass (Cymbopogon citrates) as craft paper manufacture, can benefit all the people including the students, for it can save money from buying commercial craft papers. It can also lessen the cutting of trees which is the main source of paper. The proponents of this study want to know if the lemon grass paper can be a good quality of paper compared to the commercial ones. The materials of this project are all locally available. The procedure starts with the washing of lemon grass and having it air dry. When the leaves are dry, weigh the leaves and cut it to smaller pieces. Place the leaves in the beaker with NaOH and boil it in the stove with medium fire. After boiling, wash again the leaves and grind it. Place the leaves in the molder and let it dry. In the data, figure 1 states the comparison of lemon grass with commercial craft paper. It is stated that the color, odor, texture and the prices of these papers are different but the quality is the same. In figure 2, there are two trials; the grass boiled for 10 minutes and the grass boiled for 30 minutes. It is shown in the data that the second trial is better than the first. The proponents have proven that paper can be made of lemon grass and is different with the commercial craft paper. The use of bleach and fabric conditioner can make the quality of the paper…

    Cancer has been a leading cause of death worldwide and will still be the same on the future if necessary actions will not be done. A lot of people can be affected by this disease yet not all of them have the access of expensive and artificial treatments. The researchers are urged to discover a natural and effective for stopping tumour vascularisation. In this study, the pericarp of the Calabash (Crescentia Cujete) is utilized as an effective treatment for stopping tumour vascularisation.The obtained 457g of Calabash Fruit pericarp was soaked by solvent extraction using 1.5L 95%-Hexane and 1.5L 95%-Ethanol for 24 hours each. The extract was filtered and evaporated using rotary evaporator for 3 hours and further dried for 24 hours. The residual crude extract was poured in a glass container. The extracts were tested through Chorioallontoic Membrane Assay (CAM).The CAM Assay gave the following results. The mesh indices of the different concentration (25%, 50%, 100%) of the extracts, and the positive and negative control were the following: 285.663, 280.534, 166.008, 176.162, and 244.049.The result of the Chorioallontoic Membrane Assay showed that the extract showed no significant difference to the positive control so it is showed that the extract also has anti-angiogenic effect to the chick embryo. The anti-angiogenic property only shows when 100% concentration (dose-dependent) of the extract is injected to the egg. The researcher concluded that the Calabash Fruit Pericarp has anti-angiogenic effect thus having the potential of halting tumor vascularisation.…

    Soon, it was realized to be an invasive species due to their adaptability to a wide type of fresh water ecosystems and interference with human activities. Thus a huge amount of money, and efforts have been invested since then for their management. However, it was recently realized that they could be substainably managed in their natural ecosystem and used in biofuel production, generating ample avenues of research, development and marketing of their end product (i.e. bioethanol and biogas). As the search for alternatives to fossil fuel intensifies in this age of modernization and industrialization, fuelled by increasing energy costs, water hyacinth holds a strong promise in the 21st century biofuel industry. The antoxidative properties of water hyacinth leaves were investigated by evaluating the scavenging capacity of liquid extracts in a competitive protective process against oxygenated free radicals (OFRs) released via electrolysis in a phosphate buffer with a Pt electrode. Colorimetric measurements carried out at 515 nm, through a N,N-diethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DPD) assay, showed a decreased absorbance of the sample, as compared to the blank obtained by electrolysis of the buffer without plant extract, revealing, thereby, the presence of antioxidizing agents in the liquid extracts. The antioxidative activity was estimated in terms of equivalent-glutathione (EG, in nmoles equivalent-glutathione per gram of dry plant material selected (eg/gdp)), and compared to those of soya beans and garlic bulbs. The EG value increased with decreasing dilution factors, regardless to the plant type, suggesting a strong influence of the medium pH on the…

    Previously, Yeoh, & Wong (1993) reported the nutritional values of A. gangetica. Ogle et al., 2001 reported the folate composition of A. gangetica. However, not much information on the utility of this leafy vegetable has been reported. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report on the optimization of polyphenols and their radical scavenging activities from the edible leaves of A. gangetica. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to optimize extraction conditions such as EtOH concentration, liquid-to-solid ratio and extraction time to obtain the maximum extraction yield, phenolic content, flavonoid content and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity from the A. gangetica leaves. Furthermore, the polyphenols present in the optimized…

    The energy value per 100 g (3.5 oz) is 250 kJ (60 kcal), and that of the apple mango is slightly higher (79 kcal per 100g). Mango contains a variety of phytochemicals and nutrients. Mango peel and pulp contain other compounds, such as pigment carotenoids and polyphenols, and omega-3 and -6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Although not confirmed scientifically, mango peel pigments may have biological effects, including carotenoids, such as the provitamin A compound, beta-carotene, lutein and alpha-carotene, polyphenols such as quercetin, kaempferol, gallic acid, caffeic acid, catechins, tannins, and the unique mango xanthonoid, mangiferin, which are under preliminary research for their potential to counteract various disease processes. Phytochemical and nutrient content appears to vary across mango cultivars. Up to 25 different carotenoids have been isolated from mango pulp, the densest of which was beta-carotene, which accounts for the yellow-orange pigmentation of most mango cultivars. Peel and leaves also have significant polyphenol content, including xanthonoids, mangiferin and gallic acid.…
