| prosopis cineraria leaf tannins: their inhibitory effect upon ruminal cellulase and the recovery of inhibition by polyethylene glycol-4000. | the condensed tannins from the prosopis cineraria leaves were purified and fractionated in two groups (kav 0.018 and 0.74) on a column of sephadex lh-20 (2.5 x 27 cm) using 70 percent aqueous acetone as the eluent. the kav for catechin was 0.946. upon acid hydrolysis, both the condensed tannin fractions yielded three pigments including cyanidin-chloride, which was separated by column chromatography using polyvinylpyrrolidone absorbent and was identified by paper chromatography (rf forestal 0.476 ... | 1992 | 1417696 |
| in vitro susceptibility of opportunistic fusarium spp. to essential oils. | the inhibitory effects of essential oils extracted from 10 indian plants were evaluated against five fungi. the plants used for extraction of essential oils were six species of the genus eucalyptus and ocimum basilicum, prosopis cineraria and derris indica. the fungi used in the experiments were fusarium solani, f. oxysporum, f. pallidoroseum, f. acuminatum and f. chlamydosporum. the susceptibility of the fusarium species was tested by the paper disc method and the serial dilution technique. the ... | 1999 | 10394856 |
| the effects of replacing rhodes grass (chloris gayana) hay with ghaf (prosopis cineraria) pods on the performance of omani native sheep. | a feeding trial using various levels of dry pods of ghaf (prosopis cineraria) was carried out with 28 omani native male sheep. individual feed intake and body weight were determined for 50 days to allow assessment of the effects of the feeds on growth, feed intake, feed conversion and carcase measurements. the ripened ghaf pods contained 91% dry matter (dm), 13.5% crude protein (cp), 14.3% crude fibre (cf), 1.3% ether extract (ee) and 5.2% ash (on dm basis). four levels of ghaf (0, 15%, 30% and ... | 2004 | 15080543 |
| preparation of activated carbon from dried pods of prosopis cineraria with zinc chloride activation for the removal of phenol. | utilization of agrowaste materials for the production of activated carbon, as an excellent adsorbent with large surface area, is well established industrially, for dephenolation of wastewater. in the present work, dried pods of prosopis cineraria-a novel and low-cost agrowaste material-were used to prepare activated carbons by zinc chloride activation. batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the effects of various physicochemical parameters such as initial phenol concentration, ad ... | 2013 | 23212266 |
| fruit pod extracts as a source of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. | fruit pods contain various beneficial compounds that have biological activities and can be used as a source of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. although pods or pericarps are usually discarded when consuming the edible parts of fruits, they contain some compounds that exhibit biological activities after extraction. most fruit pods included in this review contain polyphenolic components that can promote antioxidant effects on human health. additionally, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, ... | 2012 | 23052712 |
| use of plants to monitor contamination of air by so2 in and around refinery. | the generation of so2 from a refinery may affect the surrounding environment. moreover, so2 and its by-products are phytotoxic as berg. this study aims to investigate plant responses to so2. the work has been designed with emphasis on using the plants directly in monitoring the contamination of the atmospheric air by so2. an assessment was made of the impacts of long-term so2 emissions from an oil refinery on plants located in nearby areas that are likely to be exposed to emission fallout. three ... | 2004 | 15244337 |
| effect of co-inoculations of native pgpr with nitrogen fixing bacteria on seedling traits in prosopis cineraria. | prosopis cineraria significantly contribute to sand dune stabilization, soil fertility rejuvenation and is an integral component of agro-forestry systems in arid regions of india. effect of different rhizobacterial seed treatments on seed germination and seedling traits in two genotypes of p. cineraria (hpy-1) and (fg-1) were tested. observations on seed germination (%) and seedling traits viz., root length (cm), shoot length (cm), seedling weight (g) and seedling length of different treatments ... | 2014 | 25204069 |
| antitumour activity of prosopis cineraria (l.) druce against ehrlich ascites carcinoma-induced mice. | the antitumour activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of the leaf (pcl) and stem bark (pcb) of prosopis cineraria (l.) in swiss albino mice was evaluated against an ehrlich ascites carcinoma (eac) tumour model. the activity was assessed using survival time, peritoneal cells, haematological studies, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione s-transferase, solid tumour mass and in vitro cytotoxicity. pcl and pcb were found t ... | 2011 | 21462080 |
| impact of land use practices on faunal abundance, nutrient dynamics and biochemical properties of desert pedoecosystem. | increased dependence of resource-poor rural communities on soils of low inherent fertility are the major problem of desert agroecosystem. agrisilviculture practices may help to conserve the soil biota for maintaining essential soil properties and processes in harsh climate. therefore, the impacts of different land use systems on faunal density, nutrient dynamics and biochemical properties of soil were studied in agrisilviculture system of indian desert. the selected fields had trees (zizyphus ma ... | 2005 | 16335596 |
| a bioassay-guided fractionation scheme for characterization of new antibacterial compounds from prosopis cineraria aerial parts. | due to the importance of finding of new antibacterial agents, the antibacterial properties of prosopis cineraria aerial parts were investigated using a bioassay guided fractionation scheme. | 2016 | 27092218 |
