Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how irradiation affects the production of secondary chemical compounds and biological activity in Libidibia ferrea leaf extracts.
- Leaves were exposed to varying doses of Co-60 gamma radiation, leading to increased toxicity in the extracts when tested with the microcrustacean Artemia salina.
- Various chromatography techniques revealed that ionizing radiation breaks down larger molecules into simpler, more active compounds, thereby enhancing the biochemical properties of the extracts.
