species are notable in Mediterranean regions due to their ecological and economic importance. Various parts of these species are widely used in traditional medicine, especially pinecones, which are a significant source of bioactive compounds. The current study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and biological properties of the aqueous extracts obtained by maceration from three petal fractions, from Mill.

Introduction And Importance: At the age of 20, young adults are most susceptible to synovial chondromatosis, a rare condition characterized by the metaplasia of the synovial membrane into cartilaginous or osteocartilaginous tissue. Synovial chondromatosis is exceptionally uncommon in the ankle.

Case Presentation: An orthopedist evaluated a 26-year-old man with a history of recurring ankle trauma over a period of 6 months, swelling and pain.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on converting date palm leaves, a notable agricultural waste in southern Tunisia, into valuable products using kombucha fermentation, specifically examining two local varieties: Deglet Nour and Alig.
  • - Analysis revealed that the Alig variety showed superior sugar consumption and metabolite production during fermentation, resulting in higher total phenolic content and enhanced antioxidant activity compared to Deglet Nour.
  • - Fermented Alig palm leaves demonstrated a significant capacity for antidiabetic effects, with a notable inhibitory activity against the DPPH radical, and the study identified multiple beneficial compounds present in the kombucha extracts.

The objective of this study was to explore how watermelon rinds (WMRs) and their derivatives, specifically water-soluble polysaccharides (WMRPs) and hemicellulose (WMRH), as sources of dietary fiber, could enhance the quality of wheat bread. The extraction process yielded 34.4% for WMRP and 8.

Various parts of the species, a traditional plant, have potential health benefits and exhibit antibacterial, anti-cancer, and antioxidant activities. This study aims to investigate the biochemical properties of both petal (P) and core (C) fractions from pinecones of (PA), (PB), and (PP). Pinecones were manually separated into P and C, which were then milled to investigate maceration with solvents of increasing polarity: cyclohexane (1SV), ethyl acetate (2SV), and methanol (3SV) at 20 °C.
