Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) root is known for health-promoting activities due to its high phytochemical content. Therefore, the aim of this study is to increase the amount of health boosting components in commonly eaten product.

Antibacterial and antioxidant potential of the phenolic extract and its fractions isolated from (onion) peel.

Aqueous methanolic (20:80) crude extract of the outer peel of (onions) was fractionated into anthocyanin (II), acidic (i.e., phenolic acids, Ia), neutral A (i.

Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the polyphenolic fractions isolated from the seed coat of Abrus precatorius and Caesalpinia crista.

Crude seed coat extracts from Abrus precatorius and Caesalpinia crista were purified into four different fractions namely phenolic acids, flavonols, flavanols and anthocyanin which were then examined for their polyphenol contents and antimicrobial potentials. The fractions derived from seed coat of A. precatorius were found more potent with high phenolic and flavonoid contents as compared to C.
