UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS identified 42 alkaloid glycosides, including two potentially new compounds, in traditional Chinese medicines. This aids in understanding their chemical composition and isolating alkaloid glycosides in other herbal medicines.
The researchers studied the chemical compositions of the aerial parts of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis and identified five new compounds. This research is important for the comprehensive utilization and development of waste parts of the plant.
Scientists isolated and identified eight quinolizidine alkaloids from a Kenyan medicinal plant. These compounds showed antidermatophytic activity against common fungal causes of tinea infections in humans at varying concentrations.
This review discusses the potential of peppermint essential oils to combat Aspergillus flavus infestations and prevent the production of carcinogenic aflatoxin. It emphasizes the prospects of using these oils and plant-derived chemicals to develop novel antifungal agents and protect food from contamination.
Scientists prepared and analyzed extracts from locust bean pulp and gum, identifying 76 phenolic compounds. The extracts showed antimicrobial activity and strong antioxidant properties, making them potential natural alternatives for medicinal industry additives.
Cellulose nanocrystals were used to stabilize thymus vulgaris essential oil and create Pickering emulsions. These emulsions were loaded into modified tapioca/PVA-based films, which increased thickness, UV-blocking ability, and improved film properties for preserving fish fillets.
This study developed a method to analyze and quantify 15 cannabinoids in cannabis. The method was sensitive, selective, reproducible, and accurate, making it useful for determining these compounds in cannabis plant materials and cannabis-based products.
