This study found that coating mangoes with a novel nanocomposite film improved postharvest quality. The film reduced decay and weight loss, increased antioxidant capacity, and delayed fruit aging by suppressing enzyme activity and ethylene release. EVA treatment was better than CTS treatment for mango preservation.
This study examined the polyphenolic profile of leaves and their potential antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. The extract showed high levels of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and demonstrated significant inhibition of pancreatic alpha-amylase activity. This suggests potential benefits for diabetes treatment.
This study used advanced technology to identify and classify the chemical components of different varieties of Zanthoxylum, a medicinal herb. It identified 48 common and 24 different components, providing valuable insights for studying its medicinal properties and ensuring quality control.
Polygonatum sibiricum saponins (PSS) improved symptoms and pathology in colitis mice induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). PSS restored intestinal microbial balance, reduced pathogenic bacteria, and increased beneficial bacteria, suggesting its potential therapeutic role in ulcerative colitis.
This study analyzed eight species of the genus to identify their metabolic variation using RP-HPLC-PDA chromatography. The method successfully separated the markers jatrorrhizine, palmatine, and berberine. The study provides a useful tool for identifying and differentiating various species, which can be used as an alternative to the official drug .
This study explores synergistic antibacterial effects of plant extracts against foodborne bacteria. Different combinations of extracts were tested and found to have synergistic effects. The study emphasizes the importance of finding optimal proportions for effective antibacterial activity in food preservation systems.
Twenty genotypes of betel vine were characterized for bio-compounds. Phenolic compounds and organic acids were identified, with male genotypes having higher content. Some genotypes had the highest phenolic content, making the chemical profile useful for gender differentiation and commercial cultivation.
Genus has medicinal properties and over 2500 species. Its chemical makeup includes various compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, liver protective, and blood sugar and lipid management properties. This supports its traditional uses.
