Dactylorhiza hatagirea, a medicinal orchid found in the Himalayas, contains various beneficial compounds and has potential therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. However, it is endangered due to overexploitation. Conservation efforts and in vitro techniques can help protect this valuable plant.
This study found the best conditions for extracting phenolic compounds from walnut green husks using a method called salting-out extraction. The optimal conditions resulted in higher phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to conventional methods. This research is important for extraction techniques and utilizing agricultural waste.
A new compound, Ternifoliasaponin, along with four known compounds, were isolated from a plant. They were tested for antibacterial and antimicrobial activity, showing moderately sensitive effects against certain microorganisms.
Ultrasound can enhance bio-compound production by altering cell morphology, structure, and organelles. Flavonoid content and production increased significantly under specific ultrasound conditions compared to untreated fermentation.
Experiment: Studied if isoquinoline alkaloids from Macleaya cordata can protect broiler chickens from liver injury caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Relevant for understanding potential benefits of IA supplementation in preventing liver damage.
