The present study aimed to prepare blue colored powders from an aqueous extract of cornflower petals. Low temperature (4 °C) aqueous extraction (1:20) and microencapsulation by freeze-drying were performed. A mixture of stabilizers (maltodextrin, guar gum, and lecithin) in a proportion of 10% to the amount of extract was used. The results indicated...

The green biosynthesis of nanoparticles by plant extracts is an attractive and promising technique for medicinal applications. In the current study, we chose one of the daisy plants, Aaronsohnia factorovskyi (which grows in the Najd region, Saudi Arabia), to investigate its anti-microbial efficacy, in combination with silver nanoparticles. The bios...

Infections due to Gram-negative bacteria Helicobacter pylori may result in humans having gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcer, and even gastric cancer. Investigation of quantitative changes of soluble biomarkers, correlating with H. pylori infection, is a promising tool for monitoring the course of infection and inflammatory response. The aim of th...

The evaluation of microplastic (MP) pollution has been drawing attention for the last decades. MP pollution has been studied widely in marine environments, but limited data exists for freshwater ecosystems on potential source and transport of MPs. The type, shape, plastic components, and the color of the MPs were investigated using various-mesh-siz...

Tofu gel was made by using citric acid (0.14%) in combination with varied volumetric ratios (e.g., 0-4%) of nano fish bone (NFB). The gel properties were investigated by colorimetry, penetration tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. As the volumetric ratio increased from 0 to 3%, the soluble ...

Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are proteins of cyanobacteria and some algae such as rhodophytes. They have antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activity at the human level, but there is a lack of knowledge on their antifungal activity against plant pathogens. We studied the activity of PBPs extracted from Arthrospirap...
