Extraction and Characterization of Pectin from Malabar Tamarind, and Indian Wild Lime
Abstract: Pectin is a versatile heteropolysaccharide that is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries because of its gelling, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties. This review discusses the extraction of pectin from agro-waste peels of Malabar tamarind (Garcinia cambogia) and Indian wild lime (Citrus indica) using conventional acid hydrolysis under optimized conditions: pH 1.5–2.0, 85–90°C, and 90 minutes. The process resulted in 22.5% and 27.8% pectin yields, respectively, verified through …

Preparation of Methyl Esters of Solid Acids from Litsea Consimilis
Abstract: This study focuses on the extraction and characterization of fatty acids from the seed oil of Litsea consimilis and their subsequent conversion into methyl esters. The oil demonstrated high iodine and Reichert-Meissl values, indicating a significant content of unsaturated and short-chain fatty acids. Glyceride analysis revealed that trilaurin constitutes over 90% of the triglycerides, confirmed through melting point analysis and hydrolysis yielding lauric acid as the sole component. The oil …

Assessment of Diuretic Activity of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Matricaria Chamomilla (Linn.) and Its Phytochemical Analysis with Emphasis on Toxicology
Abstract: While the traditional medicines are derived from medicinal plants, minerals and organic matter, the herbal drugs are prepared from medicinal plants only. This current research work will be very beneficial in figuring out the Matricaria chamomilla leaves extract diuretic effect by determining the ions and electrolyte excreted by the animals using ion selective channel inhibition. The phytochemical screening results revealed that the after which it was observed whether the alkaloids …
