Investigation of antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of extracts and their effects on gentamicin nephrotoxicity in rats.

This study aims to examine the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the aerial parts of extracts (CAE) prepared with different solvents, and how ethanol extract protects them against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. Extracts of aerial parts were obtained from ethanol, water, methanol, chloroform, and hexane solvents. Thirty-two male rats were used and gentamycin-induced nephrotoxicity was utilized as a model.

Rapid fabrication of micro-nanofibers from grapevine leaf extract and gelatine via electroblowing: A novel approach for edible active food packaging.

The objective of this study was to develop novel micro-nanofibers for food packaging using grapevine extract (GLP) and gelatine using electroblowing technique. The identified components of GLP were dominated by the flavone group phenolics, as analyzed by LC-MS/MS. SBS was used to fabricate gelatine micro-nanofiber mats loaded with three different concentrations of GLP, which were subsequently cross-linked.
