Study on the effect of brassinolide and salicylic acid on vegetative and physiological traits of Aloe maculata All. in different substrates in a pot experiment
Publication date: Available online 7 March 2017 Source:Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Author(s): Shahram Sedaghathoor, Marzieh I. Kojeidi, Andisheh Poormassalegoo The effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) and epi-brassinolide and different substrates was examined on increasing the yield of Aloe maculata All. and improving its vegetative quality in a factorial study based on a Randomized Complete Block Design with three factors, three replicates and 27 treatments. The first factor (A) was substrate at three levels (a1: garden soil; a2: garden soil+10% azocompost; a3: ga...

Modelling of Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) of Anthocyanins (TMA)
Publication date: Available online 3 March 2017 Source:Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Author(s): Vahid Farzaneh, Isabel S. Carvalho Box Behnken design was applied to study the effects of the selected independent variables on the responses. The obtained results presented that the quadratic modes of all independent variables on total monomeric anthocyanin parameter as well as the quadratic modes of microwave irradiation time and solvent/sample proportion on total antioxidant activity parameter have negative and significant effects. Moreover the interactive effect between microwave power and ...

Optimization of mangiferin extrated from Phaleria macrocarpa fruits using response surface methodology
Publication date: Available online 21 February 2017 Source:Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Author(s): O.R. Alara, S.K. Abdul Mudalip, O.A. Olalere Phaleria macrocarpa locally known as Mahkota Dewa is one of the important medicinal plants that originates from Papua Island, Indonesia and grows in tropical areas. Mangiferin is one of the major bioactive compounds of Phaleria macrocarpa. The effect of extraction time (4–6h) and extraction temperature (90–110°C) on the mangiferin yield were investigated using Face Centered Central Composite Design (FCCCD) with five centre points under Resp...
