Phytochemical Constituents from the Seeds of Capsella bursa-pastoris and Their Antioxidant Activities.

Scientists investigated the seeds of a plant called Capsella bursa-pastoris and found a new organic acid and several known compounds. They tested the antioxidant capacities of these substances and found that some of them showed potential neuroprotective effects against oxidative damage in HT-22 cells.

Efficiency of Artemisia annua L. essential oil and its chitosan/tripolyphosphate or zeolite encapsulated form in controlling Sitophilus oryzae L.

Scientists tested the effectiveness of Artemisia annua essential oil (EO) against rice weevils. Encapsulating the EO in chitosan/TPP or zeolite increased toxicity and fumigant persistence, making it an environmentally friendly solution for controlling the pests in storage.
