Recently, many researchers have focused on the investigation of plant and microbial extracts, essential oils, pure secondary metabolites and new synthetized molecules as potential antimicrobial agents,, . However, when we …
If ten parts of starting material yields two parts of native extract, a 5:1 ratio of Plant to native Extract is obtained (10 divided by 2). If 0.5 part of excipient is added to the two parts of native extract, then the ratio of Plant to finished Extract becomes 4:1 (10 divided by 2.5 is 4).
A stock solution of each plant extracts was prepared by dissolving 100 mg of extract with one ml of their respective solvents (sterile distilled water and 99.9% dimethyl sulfoxide. …
The lowest concentration of the plant extract that retains its inhibitory effect resulting in no growth (absence of turbidity) of a microorganism was recorded as the MIC value of the extract. Determination of MBC of the extract was also investigated by the method described by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute [ 30 ].
Extraction by maceration—In order to extract the total polyphenols of the different plant parts by the maceration method described by Romani et al., the following was carried out: 10 to 30 g of each of the crushed different parts (leaves, flowers, stems, roots) of the three plants were macerated for 2.5 h in triplicate at room temperature in ...
2. Antioxidant Extraction Procedures. Extraction techniques aim not only at extracting the active biocompounds from the plant sample but also at imparting selectivity and optimizing sensitivity of the applied analytical methodology due to the increase of the concentration of the compound of interest.
For alkaloids: Extract in methanol. concentrate to dryness. resuspend in dilute sulphuric acid (should be <1 N). The acid extract is partitioned with ethyl acetate.
The procedure of extraction starts with placing the plant material into the extraction cell, which is made from stainless steel. After the cell is under pressure, it is …
The chemical constituents of plants are complicated, and monomeric compounds must be obtained via extraction and isolation before structure identification, bioactivity screening, and so on. In recent years, the new technologies and methods of the extraction, isolation, and structural identification have come forth, which promote the …

Background There is an urgent need to discover new antimicrobial compounds or extracts to address the crucial problem of increasing microbial resistance against current antibiotics. Plant chemical biodiversity is a valuable potential resource. Although compounds from plants are used as basis for several human drugs, no …
It is conducted by passing the boiled solvent through the plant material at a controlled and moderate rate (e.g. 5–7 drops per min) until the extraction is complete …
This applies only if sufficient manufacturing information about the finished extracts is available. This should include, at a minimum, the native extract …
The plant's bioactive chemicals depend on the plant material origin, conditions of the plant it has grown or cultivated in, moisture content, and particle size of the plant parts. The different extraction methods will also affect the composition of the secondary metabolites of the extracts namely, type of extraction, time of extraction ...
The concept of preparation of medicinal plant for experimental purposes involves the proper and timely collection of the plant, authentication by an expert, adequate drying, and grinding. This is followed by extraction, fractionation, and isolation of the …
The advantages of these biogenic methods of preparation are not only limited to their eco-friendliness when compared to the other methods, these methods are also cheap and useful in the preparation of many nanoparticles, which are usually free from contaminants and possess a well-defined morphology and size [].The use of plant …
Goupi patch is a compound Chinese medicine preparation consisting of 29 Chinese medicines. Fu et al. used the whole alkaloids content determined by acid–base titration as the index and optimized the ethanol percolation method as soaking the medicine with 55% alcohol for 24 h and then percolating with 12 times the amount of 55% alcohol [ …
2.1. Convection Drying. The most common method for plant material preparation is convection drying. Convection drying is one in which a stream of drying agent (dry gas, most often air) flows around the plant material bringing heat and removing moisture (Figure 1).The drying process is a process of simultaneous heat and mass …
Plant-based bioactive compounds are generally classified as phenolic compounds found in a variety of plants, fruits, herbs, and spices [ 13 ]. Numerous studies on plant polyphenols, as natural preservatives in comminuted meat, has been reported. These include rosemary [ 14 ], clove extracts [ 15 ], green tea [ 16 ], turmeric [ 17 ], and …

This can be done for a variety of reasons, including the production of essential oils, the creation of herbal medicines, and the development of cosmetics. The plant extraction process is not difficult to perform, but it does require ...
Broth micro- or macro-dilution is one of the most basic antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods. The procedure involves preparing two-fold dilutions of the antimicrobial agent (e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 µg/mL) in a liquid growth medium dispensed in tubes containing a minimum volume of 2 mL (macrodilution) or with smaller volumes …
This extraction procedure is ideal for getting heat-stable and water-soluble constituents obtained from crude plant materials. This procedure is used when preparing ayurvedic extracts known as "quath" or "kwath." The extract is concentrated and then filtered or processed further (Hussain 2019). Decoctions are generally consumed orally.
