Abstract
Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed to optimize the EtOH concentration (X1: 40-80 %), liquid-to-solid ratio of (X2: 10-30 mL/g) and sonication time (X3: 30-50 min) to obtain the maximum recovery of extraction yield (YE), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities from edible Asystasia gangetica leaves. The obtained second-order polynomial model provided an adequate fitting of the experimental data (p < 0.05) with regard to the responses. Response surface analysis showed that 61.48% of EtOH concentration, 21.70 mL/g of liquid-to-solid ratio and 43.41 min of sonication time were significantly maximize the responses. Under this optimum extraction conditions the experimental …show more content…

In the traditional medicinal system this plant was used for the treatment of various ailments like rheumatism, stomach pains, heart pains, swellings, worms, asthma and helminthiasis (Kirtikar, & Basu, 1953; Sethuraman, & Vigneswari, 1998; Akah, Ezike, Nwafor, Okoli, & Enwerem, 2003; Kanchanapoom, & Ruchirwat, 2007) and contain a myriad of pharmacological properties such as anti-asthmatic (Akah et al., 2003), anti-microbial (Sudhakar, Rao, Rao, Raju, & Venkateswarlu, 2006), antidiabetic (PradeepKumar, Sujatha, MohamedSaleem, Madhusudhanachetty, & Ranganayakulu, 2010), anticancer (Stewart, Boonsiri, Puthong, & Rojpibulstit, 2013) antioxidant (PradeepKumar et al., 2010; Stewart et al., 2013), angiotensin …show more content…

The extraction efficiency, phenolic content and bioactivity of the plant materials are greatly influenced by several factors, such as the chemical nature of the sample, particle size, nature of solvent used, solvent concentration, extraction time, pH, temperature and solid-to-liquid ratio (Cacace & Mazza 2002; Ilaiyaraja et al., 2015; Luthria, 2008; Pompeu, Silva, & Rogez, 2009; Prasad et al., 2011; Gan & Latiff, 2011; Haminiuk, Maciel, Plata-Oviedo, & Peralta, 2012). With these extraction parameters, various conventional and novel extraction methods also influence the extraction of plant polyphenols. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is a simple and successful method used for the extraction of plant polyphenols and it has advantages over the conventional and other advanced methods which include inexpensive, environmental friendly, low energy, less solvent consumption and extraction time and high quality productivity of bioactive compounds with its preserved functional properties (Wong Paz et al., 2015; Prakash Maran, Manikandan, Thirugnanasambandham, Nivetha, & Dineshs, 2013; Chen et al., 2007). Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the extraction parameters with the suitable extraction technique to acquire maximum phenolic content recovery and

We should celebrate the voyages of Zheng He because he overcame great odds in childhood, castrated by the Ming Dynasty, he traveled over 100,000 miles with very little technology, he managed a total of 37,500 men, managed a four hundred feet boat, he was a great leader to his soldiers, and created cultural diffusion in China. Zheng He overcame great odds in childhood was by in 1381, a ten year old boy named Ma He from Yunan Province in southern China watched his father died at the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also taken into prisoner to serve the Emperor’s son, Prince Zhu Di. However before serving the emperor’s son was by being castrated and to join (forced) the thousands of eunuchs. Zheng He served the prince well and rose in the ranks of the

In order to for one to correctly answer the question at hand – whether reconstruction was effective or not, one has to identify the core issues during this period in time. During reconstruction, the issue of slavery is in focus and as shown below there are two main ideas that have to be understood – whether or not slaves were free. It is during this period that the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were introduced, giving slaves hope for a better future. Former slaves now were able to vote, receive an education, have their own property, get married and even hold positions in political office. With the new laws by 1868 of blacks were registered voters, more than ten held seats in the House of Representatives and much more took

In the 1800s, the first national debate occurred over the idea of damming Hetch Hetchy. The two sides include Preservationists who wanted to preserve Hetch Hetchy and Conservationist who believed that we should take advantage of the resources Hetch Hetchy provides. This created conflicts between the Conservationists and the Preservationists over the thought of building a dam in Hetch Hetchy. However, the Preservationists ultimately failed to convince Congress to stop the damming of the Hetch Hetchy due the ability to make money off the reservoir and the resources Hetch Hetchy provides that would benefit the people of San Francisco. This is proven through several of documents written by Gifford Pinchot and John Raker, San Francisco District

Starting in 1828 the United States experienced the “Jacksonian Era”, where Andrew Jackson, the first recognized democratic president, lead our country. His time of rule is often looked at as of time of “democratization of politics.” This means that the government was becoming representatives of the people's voice, and this is exactly what Jackson believed in. He showed his democratic beliefs through many things throughout his presidency. The democratization of politics is very evident in the Jacksonian Era through things such as voting, Indian removal, and being financially in favor of the people’s wants and needs individually, rather than as a whole, because although many times he was harsh in his ways, his end goal was to ensure the people

However, in a recent case, this right was violated by the government. An Oregon citizen, with the initials of DLK, was suspected of growing marijuana in his home. The federal government used a thermal imager to scan his home, and were later given a warrant to physically search his home. However, many remain divided over whether or not this scan was constitutional, as there was no warrant at the time of the scan.
