Background: There are studies indicating that aqueous or hydroalcoholic dill extracts showed higher antioxidant activity compared to other fractions. Molecular docking studies would be relevant to get information on the mechanism of action of the phenolic constituents of Anethum graveolens seed extracts as bioactive compounds. Methodology: In order...

The Aim of the Research: Anethum graveolens (dill) is a common herb used in traditional Romanian cuisine, as well as in phytotherapy. Dill seeds have been reported to be rich in antioxidants. As interest in food additives of natural origin has increased in recent years, the purpose of this paper was to study the composition and antioxidant potentia...

Natural clay from the Felix geothermal area was used to assess the possible removal of heavy metals from wastewaters. Several experimental conditions, including pH, contact time and temperature, depending on the initial concentration were studied. The design of experiments method was applied in order to get the highest percentage of adsorbed copper...

The Nymphaea lotus L. var. thermalis (DC) Tuzson or thermal waterlily a thermophilic species is threatened with extinction due to the loss of thermal water in its natural habitat, namely the Lake "Ochiul Mare" of the "Petea Creek" Natural Reserve. The taxon is related to the well-known species the Egyptian Nymphea lotus, but due to it long history...

In the present study, a simple and fast HPLC procedure has been developed for determination of a wide range of lactic acid concentrations. During the lactic acid analysis, the analytic column,YMC-Pack ODS AQ, was operating at 20oC. The mobile phase, 0.03% H3PO4:acetonitrile (88:12), was delivered isocratic, at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, in a 25 min...

Pathogenic microorganisms are causative agents for different types of serious and even lethal infectious diseases. Despite advancements in medication, bacterial and fungal infections continue to be a growing problem in health care. As more and more bacteria become resistant to antibiotics used in therapy and an increasing number of invasive fungal...

This paper presents the development of a new optic fiber sensor for measuring ethanol concentration in real time, obtained by simultaneous immobilization of alcohol dehydrogenase and NAD + onto optical fiber by sol-gel technique in MTMOS/TEOS matrix. Biosensor was tested in a concentration range of 2-18% ethanol and the results were compared with s...

... Moreover, dill seeds have many medicinal properties. Based on these considerations, in a previous paper [19], we reported the total phenolics contents and several phenolic compounds identified in methanolic and hydromethanolic extracts from dill seeds cultivated in Romania. Antioxidant activity, as measured by DPPH's free radical scavenging ability, was also investigated. ...
... Reviews of progress covering the biological activities of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and its derivatives were reported by Jain et al. (2013) and by Anthwal et al. (2022). Their use as scaffolds for promising antimicrobial agents (Serban et al., 2018) and anti-cancer agents (Ç evik et al., 2020) have also been published. The interplay of inter-and intramolecular interactions in the crystal structures of 1,3,4-thiadiazole resorcinol derivatives was reported by Hoser et al. (2018). ...
... The present study first comparatively determined the phenolics and flavonoids profiles of asparagus spears and leafy by-products to confirm that the latter is a rich source of rutin. Since rutin is slightly soluble in ethanol, but highly soluble in methanol (Serban et al., 2016), the latter solvent was chosen as the extraction solvent in this study. The extraction was carried out using three different methods, namely, single-step extraction at room temperature and at 50 • C as well as three-step extraction (one h for each step) at 50 • C. The most suitable extraction method, based on rutin yield, was selected. ...
... Alcohol is an organic chemical that dissolves easily in water and is colorless. These chemicals can be used as anti-bacterial, preservatives, and ingredients in alcoholic beverages [12] [13]. Research on the detection of the quality of alcoholic beverages has been reported using optical fiber sensors [14][15][16], and PCF-SPR sensors to detect alcohol concentrations at low temperatures [1]. ...
