Silver-conjugated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Ag-MNPs) were successfully synthesized and characterized and its effect on certain bacteria was evaluated. The synthesized nanoparticles were tested against six isolates which include Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Salmonella enterica and Acinetobacter baumannii. The result showed that antibacterial activity of the synthesized Ag-MNPs was found to be effective against Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus, while the compound was ineffective against some clinical bacterial isolates. The diameters of the zones of inhibition were found to be 20 mm and 27 mm for Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was 10 mg/ml for both organisms. Also, the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration MBC for the two organisms was found to be 20 mg/ml. Therefore, the synthesized compound has antibacterial activity and could be a reliable compound of choice for treating bacterial infections.

Tomatoes consumed in Gombe are contaminated with traces and heavy metals due to accumulation of these metals in soil that absorbed by crop plants, which is the most serious environmental problem with significant implications on human health. This study focused on the comparative studies on concentrations of carcinogenic and non- carcinogenic heavy metals analyzed based on WHO Permissible limits. Sample T1 Tomatoes showed mean concentrations in decreasing order of Zn = 0.094 ± 0.045 mg/kg followed by Mn = 0.0744 ± 0.0031 mg/kg then Ni = 0.0394 ± 0.0014 mg/kg, Fe = 0.0163 ± 0.00113 mg/kg, Cd = 0.0063 ± 0.00106 mg/kg, Pb = 0.0031 ± 0.0062 mg/kg, Co = 0.00152 ± 0.00126 mg/kg, As = 0 respectively. Sample T2 showed mean concentrations of heavy metals with the highest of Ni = 0.2095 ± 0.27 mg/kg followed by Zn = 0.1761 ± 0.134 mg/kg, Mn = 0.0487 ± 0.0023 mg/kg, Fe = 0.0233 ± 0.00195 mg/kg, Cd = 0.0147 ± mg/kg, Pb = 0.0047 ± 0.0062 mg/kg, Co = 0.0075 ± 0.0065 mg/kg respectively with few above WHO limits of 0.002 – 0.005mg/kg. Sample T3 Tomatoes showed mean concentrations with highest in decreasing order of Mn = 0.0829 ± 0.017 mg/kg followed by Ni = 0.0809 ± 0.00412 mg/kg, Zn = 0.0504 ± 0.0031 mg/kg, Co = 0.0225 ±0.00080 mg/kg, Cd = 0.0179 ± 0.00243 mg/kg, Fe = 0.0143 ± 0.00057 mg/kg. As = 0.0011 ± 0.000265 mg/kg, Pb = 0.0004 ± 0.000058 mg/kg respectively. Hazard Index (HI) of non-carcinogenic Heavy metals analyzed in Tomatoes samples showed highest hazard index in all the three pathways with Co = 3.64 E+ 00 followed by Pb = 2.71E+00 then Cd = 5.51E-01, Ni = 1.07E-02, Mn = 6.81E-03, As = 2.16E-03, Zn = 7.79E-04, while the lowest Hazard index was shown by Fe = 5.62E-05 indicating HI > 1 with adverse health risk in decreasing order of Co > Pb > Cd > Ni > Mn > As > Zn > Fe respectively.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide. The objective is to investigate and characterize the alpha-amylase inhibition principles of the leaves of Ficus sur Forssk (Moraceae) used in ethnomedicine for management of diabetes mellitus. Powdered leaves were successively macerated with N-hexane, chloroform and 70% ethanol respectively for three consecutive days. The extracts were assessed for phytochemicals and inhibition of alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase inhibition was assessed using porcine α-amylase. Bioactive n-hexane extract was fractionated on column chromatography packed with Silica Gel G (mesh 60-120) and eluted with gradient mixture of hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol. Active fractions (F1 - F5) were purified on preparative thin layer chromatography. Active pure compounds were assessed for bioactivity and identified by spectroscopy (UV, IR, MS and NMR). The n-hexane extracts of the plant exhibited highest significant (p < 0.05) inhibition. Fraction F4 was the most active and was and compound FB was characterized from it as a novel abietane-type diterpene (4,7,10-b-trimethyl-benzofuro[c]-6,6-a,8,9,10,10-a-hexahydroisochromene-7-carboxylic acid) with 55% inhibition of alpha-amylase at 50µg/ml. This work reports for the first time a novel diterpenoid from Ficus sur with alpha-amylase inhibition activity.

Increased development in the industrial and transportation sectors today significantly increases the use of lubricants. This means that a significant amount of lubrication is needed to meet consumption needs in the industrial and transportation sectors. Palm Fatty Acid Destillate (PFAD) has a high enough potential to be used as a raw material for making oleochemical products, one of which is solid lubricant. This is caused by the composition of fatty acids contained in PFAD not much different from the composition of fatty acids found in palm oil. This study aims to determine the formulation of solid lubricants (grease) from PFAD and mixture metal soap (Al-Ca) as thickener which has characteristics close to SNI solid lubricants and know the quality of solid lubricants produced. The method used in the manufacture of solid grease (grease) consists of two stages. The first stage is the process of making mixed metal soap (Al-Ca) by mixing PFAD and Al(OH)3 Ca(OH)2 and analyzing the mixed metal soap. The second stage is the manufacture of solid lubricants (grease) from mixed metal soap (Al-Ca) and PFAD as well as analyzing the resulting product. Based on the research that has been done, the optimum solid lubricant obtained according to SNI standards is in the composition of A1: B1, A1 is the ratio of Al (OH)3 : Ca(OH)2 = 90% : 10% and B1 is the ratio of metal soap: PFAD = 10 % : 90%, so the density is 0.95 gr / ml and the penetration value is 194 (25C), the melting point is 97C and NLGI 4.

Increasing interest in natural fibres for composite material formation and applications informs the aim of this paper on review of various surface modification methods employed towards the improvement of the Tribological properties of these fibres for interfacial bonding with polymer matrices. Natural fibres have wonderful properties ranging from accessibility, bi-degradability, recyclability, low density and many more but have particular negative characteristic that needs to be corrected in order to improve its surface interaction with composite matrices; which is their great affinity for water. Different methods of treating natural fibres have been applied towards reducing the hydrophilic nature of these fibres. These surface modification processes do not only reduce water absorption capability of these fibres but also increases fibrillation and material wettability. This review of literatures showed that mercerization treatment and acetylation treatment are the most applicable surface modifications or treatments for natural fibres.

Natural fibres have wonderful properties ranging from accessibility, bi-degradability, recyclability, low density and many more but have particular negative characteristic that needs to be corrected in order to improve its surface interaction with composite matrices; which is their great affinity for water. Different methods of treating natural fibres have been applied towards reducing the hydrophilic nature of these fibres. These surface modification processes do not only reduce water absorption capability of these fibres but also increases fibrillation and material wettability. This review of literatures showed that mercerization treatment and acetylation treatment are the most applicable surface modifications or treatments for natural fibres.","PeriodicalId":230897,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Chemistry and Material Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131450709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
