AVP was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy to identify functional groups confirming its polysaccharidic nature and analyzed by High-Pressure Anion Exchange Chromatography (HPAEC) to determine its composition as constituent monosaccharides. AVP was essentially composed of ᴅ-galactose (75.25%), ᴅ-glucuronic acid (10.82%), ʟ-rhamnose (6.52%), ʟ-arabinose (4.95%), ᴅ-galacturonic acid (2.16%) and ᴅ-mannose (0.28%). The total carbohydrate content (96.84%) was determined by a phenolsulfuric acid colorimetric assay and the protein content (2.85%) was measured by the Bradford method. The analysis of anti-inflammatory activity is based on the model of xylene-induced ear edema. The percentage reduction of ear edema obtained during the analysis of the anti-inflammatory activity of the AVP at doses 1%, 5% and 10% (m/v) are respectively 7.92%; 43.30% and 71.49%. The anti-inflammatory activity of AVP was found very close to that of pure Aloe vera Gel (AVG) used in Algerian medicine.","PeriodicalId":309439,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116800105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bauxite ores are not pure clay mineral species but are composed of a mixture of mineral components. The components and amounts vary with location. The main aluminous components found in bauxite ores are gibbsite (Al(OH)3), boehmite (γ-AlO(OH)) and diaspore (α-AlO(OH)). These may occur individually or as mixtures of these components. This study offers an improved approach to the quantification of the gibbsite component in naturally occurring bauxite ores using the thermal method of analysis known as either Thermogravimetry (TG) or Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The methodology used in this study involves the use of an experimentally determined empirical gravimetric factor, G, rather than the theoretical factor based on the stoichiometric equation for the complete dehydroxylation of gibbsite.","PeriodicalId":309439,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129859015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reports the evaluation of 30 species of Malaysian plant extracts potential in inhibiting 5-LO activity. Five plant extracts exhibited >80% inhibition against 5-LO activity which include Phyllanthus watsonii, Euphorbia hirta, Anacardium occidentale, Acalypha wilkensiana and Piper betle. Nine plant extracts exhibited moderate value of inhibition (79-40%), while sixteen others exhibited <40% inhibition. From the screening work via inhibition of 5-LO activity, P. watsonii showed the highest inhibition with value of 97.3%, followed by E. hirta with 90.9% inhibition. Both plant extracts were further fractioned using organic solvent which include Dichloromethane (DCM), Ethyl Acetate (EA) and Butanol (BuOH) for evaluation of their inhibiting effects on 5-LO activity. For P. watsonii, DCM fraction exhibited the highest value with 75% inhibition, while for E. hirta, EA fraction exhibited the highest value of 72.5% inhibition. Both active fractions were further subjected to isolation and purification work in order to identify the major compounds. Subsequently, four major compounds managed to be isolated and purified which further identified as quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (E1), myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (E2), 26-nor-D: A-friedoolean-14-en-3β-ol (PW1) and glochidonol (PW2) using spectroscopic technique and their data comparison with literature.","PeriodicalId":309439,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122935307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout the manuscript, a great deal of information is included regarding the thermal analysis instrumentation and its use for such mineral mixtures which may have special requirements for achieving good results. Particular interest is given to the operator choices while using DSC, DTA, and TGA/DTG for the analysis of samples with overlapping transitions. The liberation and elimination of water vapor arising from the dehydroxylation of selected components in product alumina, red mud by-product and bauxite raw material are also discussed.
