Abstract:
The method of treating diabetic wounds using biosynthesized nanoparticles includes administering an effective amount of silver and gold nanoparticles to a patient in need thereof. The silver and gold nanocomposite is prepared by ‘biosynthesis”, i.e., by providing a first aqueous solution of a noble metal salt or a noble metal oxide; providing a second solution of an aqueous plant extract, and combining the first solution and the second solution to produce a solution including nanoparticles of the noble metal. The second solution includes a plant extract obtained from Solenostemma argel, Trigonella foenum-graecum and Cinnamomum cassia. The metal salt can include silver nitrate (AgNO3) and chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Nanoparticles of gold and nanoparticles of silver are prepared separately, and then mixed to obtain a composition containing a gold and silver nanocomposite.
Abstract:
A method of preparing rosemary nanoparticles includes providing a solution including rosemary extract, spraying the rosemary extract solution into boiling water under ultrasonic conditions to produce a sonicated mixture, and freeze-drying the sonicated mixture to produce rosemary nanoparticles. The rosemary nanoparticles and encapsulated rosemary nanoparticles with polymers can have a particle size of about 69 nm to about 99 nm. The rosemary nanoparticles and encapsulated rosemary nanoparticles with polymers can be prepared without the use of metals.
Abstract:
The synthesis of nanoparticles of metals and metal oxides using plant seeds extract involves providing a solution comprising a metal ion; providing a plant seeds extract solution that comprises a reducing agent; and combining the metal ion solution and the plant extract solution while stirring at room temperature to produce metal nanoparticles. The plant extract is obtained from Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds, and the metal ion is selected from the group consisting of silver (Ag), gold (Au) and zinc (Zn).
Abstract:
A method of fabricating probiotics nanowhiskers using cheese comprises cutting and grinding cheese to produce cheese powder; mixing the cheese powder with sulfuric acid to produce a solution; stirring the solution to produce a stirred solution; and filtering the stirred solution to produce the probiotics nanowhiskers. The fabricated probiotics nanowhiskers possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial properties. The probiotics nanowhiskers may reduce cadmium concentration in a patient's liver. The probiotics nanowhiskers may also ameliorate the oxidative stress assessed as a decrease in the serum MDA levels in a patient.
Abstract:
The mustard seed nanoparticles may be synthesized by washing mustard seeds, drying and crushing the washed mustard seeds, extracting the crushed mustard seeds to produce a mustard seed extract, spraying the mustard seed extract into boiling water, sonicating the mustard seed extract and boiling water mixture, and centrifuging the mustard seed extract and boiling water mixture to obtain mustard seed nanoparticles. The mustard seed nanoparticles may be used in a pharmaceutical composition.
Abstract:
The fish food composition includes pea meal, corn meal, soy bean meal, corn oil, and fish meal. The fish food composition can include less than 17% by weight fish meal and between about 2.0% and 4.0% by weight pea meal. The fish food composition can also include carboxymethyl cellulose and a vitamin and mineral mix.
Abstract:
The Moringa oleifera nanoparticles may be synthesized by harvesting Moringa leaves, drying the Moringa leaves, powdering the dried Moringa leaves, suspending the powdered Moringa leaves in a solution, and spraying the solution into boiling water under ultrasonic conditions to obtain Moringa nanoparticles. The Moringa nanoparticles may be encapsulated by dissolving the Moringa nanoparticles and gum olibanum in ethanol to produce a mixture, injecting the inert organic phase of the mixture into an aqueous solution containing PVA, and homogenizing the aqueous solution. The Moringa nanoparticles may be useful in preventing the growth of cancer cells and in treating diabetes by inhibiting α-glucosidase and/or α-amylase activity.
Abstract:
A method of preparing probiotic nanoparticles can include dissolving formulated probiotics in methanol, spraying the methanol solution into boiling water under ultrasonic conditions to provide a sonicated solution, and stirring the sonicated solution to obtain probiotic nanoparticles. The probiotic nanoparticles may be cluster or rod-shaped. The probiotic nanoparticles may be administered to a subject to reduce oxidative stress or to treat diseases associated with oxidative stress.
Abstract:
A method of preparing naringenin nanoparticles comprises dissolving naringenin in an organic solvent to form a solution; adding the solution to boiling water under ultrasonic conditions to form a mixture; and stirring the mixture to obtain the naringenin nanoparticles. The organic solvent can be at least one of methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane and chloroform. Ultrasonic conditions can include applying ultrasonic energy at a frequency of 30-60 kHz and a power of 100 watts for about 20-30 minutes to the mixture.
