Potential of Newly Synthesized Sea Buckthorn Phytocarriers as Anti-Inflammatory Active Agents.

Phytocarriers are advanced drug delivery systems that use biocompatible and biodegradable materials to enhance the efficacy, stability, and bioavailability of natural products. The sea buckthorn ( L.) berry extract is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and anthocyanins, which contribute to its wide-ranging health benefits.

Optimization of Green Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Carotenoids and Tocopherol from Tomato Waste Using NADESs.

The purpose of this study was to extract the lipophilic fraction from one of the largest source of waste in the industrial sector, namely, the tomato residue from processing the fruit. In order to make this process more environmentally sustainable, this study used a green extraction protocol employing natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) combined with a less energy-consuming technology, the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method, to simultaneously recover carotenoids and tocopherol from dried powder tomato waste. Two NADESs, one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic, were prepared and compared to support high extraction efficiency and increase the stability of the extracted compounds.

Infrared Laser-Assisted Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from L.

The extraction of bio-compounds from medicinal plants provides opportunities for using the plant extract for health benefits. L. is considered a "natural superfood", and the valorization of its active compounds requires an extraction technique that ensures a suitable extraction yield while preserving the compounds' activity.

Enhancement of Cognitive Benefits and Anti-Anxiety Effects of Fruits in a Zebrafish () Model of Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairment.

fruits exhibit a wide range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This study aims to investigate the phenolic profile of hydroethanolic extracts from both fresh (PEC) and dried (PEU) fruits of using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and to evaluate their impact on anxiety-like behavior, memory, oxidative stress, and cholinergic status in zebrafish (, Tübingen strain) treated with scopolamine (SCO, 100 μM). Acute administration of PEC and PEU (0.

Chitosan Membranes Containing Plant Extracts: Preparation, Characterization and Antimicrobial Properties.

The main strategy of this study was to combine the traditional perspective of using medicinal extracts with polymeric scaffolds manufactured by an engineering approach to fabricate a potential dressing product with antimicrobial properties. Thus, chitosan-based membranes containing and extracts were developed and their suitability as novel dressing materials was investigated. The morphology of the chitosan-based films was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the chemical structure characterization was performed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
