Nematic lyotropic liquid crystalline ordering in rhizome powder of species and water mixtures: rheological properties and antioxidant applications.

This study focuses on developing a self-assembled lyotropic phase in four species (CA), (CC), (CL), and (CZ) using their rhizome powder in an aqueous environment. Polarizing optical microscopy (POM) depicts the maltese cross textures with twisted thread and fractional topological charge of +1/2, which confirms the formation of nematic phases in CA, CC, CL, and CZ/water mixtures along with orientation order parameters 0.34, 0.

GC-MS fingerprinting, nutritional composition, in vitro pharmacological activities and molecular docking studies of from Uttarakhand region.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate the potential therapeutic effects of  () growing in the northern region of India, having differences in the phytochemicals, nutritional content, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties by reducing power assay (RPA), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, phosphomolybdate assay, and antidiabetic potential by α-amylase assay with change in the geographical location. Outcomes of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that phytochemicals such as piperine (46.69%), kusunokinin (8.

A Validated High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography Technique for Routine Analysis of Curcumin in Four Different Species of Curcuma Viz. C. amada, C. caesia, C. longa and C. zedoaria.

In this study, we investigated a new, simple, sensitive, selective and precise high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint and quantitative estimation method for the routine analysis of curcumin in Curcuma species viz. Curcuma amada, Curcuma caesia, Curcuma longa and Curcuma zedoaria. Linear ascending development was carried out in a twin-trough glass chamber saturated with toluene:acetic acid (4:1; v/v with 20 minutes of saturation).

Identification of Bioactive Phytoconstituents, Nutritional Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Calyptocarpus vialis.

This study is focused to highlight the phytochemical, nutrient content and in vitro antioxidant capacity of the wildly growing plant Calyptocarpus vialis (CV) of the Asteraceae family collected from the Garhwal region of India. Phytochemical and nutritional analysis of CV is done by qualitative and quantitative methods. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis confirmed the presence of phenols, alkanes, aliphatic primary amines, carboxylic acids, nitrile, aromatics and alcohols.
