Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, and haemolytic properties of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts from Benth. fruit.

Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiulcer, and cytotoxic properties of hydroethanolic and aqueous extracts from the fruits of Tabernaemontana crassa were investigated. Four phenolic compounds, including three phenolic acids (gallic, caffeic, and chlorogenic acids) and one flavonol (rutin), were detected by HPLC-PDA. The hydroethanol extract (HE) exhibited high antioxidant activity and inhibition of haemolysis against red blood cells.

Physical and biochemical characterization of dromedary milk as traditionally consumed by Bedouins.

Few studies were dedicated to characterizing the dromedary milk (DM) as consumed by Bedouins, mixed with a small amount of dromedary urine (DU). Therefore, this work aimed to reveal some physical and biochemical characteristics of the DM alone, and incorporated with DU at two different concentrations. pH, colour, Brix, fats, and minerals were evaluated with proteins and sugar content using FTIR; in addition to protein oxidation.
