The Impact of Extraction Conditions on the Trend of the Type of Red Onion and the Characteristics of Oil Harvest for the Use of ConstraintsBy Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka, Tinuola H. Udoh, Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter
Abstract: The therapeutic potential of plant-derived medicinal products, including essential oils, has not yet been fully exploited. Many medicinal plants have been studied to provide the biologically active compounds on which most modern drugs are based. However, much more remains to be learned about their precise pharmacology. This is particularly important for essential oils which have such a concentrated but complex composition. This is the reason for the interest they generate …

Effect of Bacteria on Crude Oil Degradation in Loamy and Clay Soil for Water and Ethanol Biostimulant Extraction from Bryophylum pinnatum LeafBy Ukpaka Chukwuemeka Peter, Victor Chukwuemeka Ukpaka, Abraham Peter Ukpaka, Joy Chukwuemeka Peter Ukpaka
Abstract: The effect of bacteria on crude oil degradation in loamy and clay soil for water and ethanol biostimulant extraction from Bryophylum pinnatum leaf was investigated to ascertain the potential of the bacteria counts in the bioreactors sampled. At the progressive phase, the bacteria counts were more with bioreactors induced with ethanol solvent extract as the volume of the dosage increases compared to the bioreactors induced with the water extract. The …
