Synthesis, characterization, and assessment of chitosan-nanomatrix enriched with antifungal formulation against biodeterioration of active ingredients of selected herbal raw materials
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Feb 13:123684. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123684. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a potent natural group 1 carcinogen produced by Aspergillus flavus is considered an unavoidable toxic contaminant of herbal raw materials, which often deteriorates their active ingredients making them less effective and hazardous during their formulation in herbal drugs. The present investigation reports the antifungal (0.5 μl/ml) and AFB1 inhibitory (0.4 μl/ml) effects of the developed formulation CIM based on a mixture of essential oils (Carum carvi, and Illicium verum), and methyl anthranila...

Effects of methyl jasmonate elicitation on the carvone and limonene contents, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in caraway ( < em > Carum carvi < /em > L.) callus cultures
This study investigated the elicitation effects of several methyl jasmonate (MeJ) concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 µM) on various biochemical traits of caraway (Carum carvi L.) callus cultures. The 25 μM MeJ concentration yielded the highest callus growth rate (0.57 mm day-1), total flavonols content (2.58 mg QE g-1 FW) and total carotenoids content (0.04 μg g-1 FW), whereas the highest relative fresh weight (75.72%), total phenolics content (76.90 mg GAE g-1 FW), total flavonoids content (58.49 mg QE g-1 FW) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity (3.40 nmol cinnamic acid mg-1 h-1 FW) were obtained with the 50 μM M...
