Green miles in dyeing technology: metal-rich pumpkin extracts in aid of natural dyes
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Mar 2. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-19389-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo reduce environmental pollution, it is essential to use green processes in dyeing and meet its requirements. Most natural dyes have a low affinity to be used in the dyeing process. To refine this limitation, the mordanting flow is necessary for many dyeing cases. Pumpkin extract as a natural, metal-rich source can be used as a bio-mordant in green dyeing of natural yarns such as wool. Two natural dyes native to Iran, Reseda luteola and madder, were employed in this study. The effectiveness of bio-mordant presence on yar...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 1380: Antibiotic Removal from the Aquatic Environment with Activated Carbon Produced from Pumpkin Seeds
In this study, activated carbon was produced from pumpkin seed shells and subsequently modified with KOH. The adsorbent obtained through this procedure was used to remove ciprofloxacin from aqueous systems. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), elemental, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Zeta analyses were used to characterize the adsorbent. The surface area, in particular, was found to be a very remarkable value of 2730 m2/g. The conditions of the adsorption experiments were optimized based on interaction tim...

Herbal extracts that induce type I interferons through Toll-like receptor 4 signaling
CONCLUSIONS: INT induced type I IFN mRNA and proteins in BMDMs and other cell types. This induction was mediated by TLR4, which transduces signals using the TRIF/MyD88 pathway. The high-MW component of INT contained type I IFN inducing activity. The supernatants from INT-treated cells displayed antiviral activity and protected cells from EMCV infection. These findings indicate that INT is a novel natural IFN inducer that strengthens host's innate immunity.PMID:35173566 | PMC:PMC8809074 | DOI:10.29219/fnr.v66.5524 (Source: Cell Research)
