Cordia myxa is a Cameroonian pharmacopoeia traditional plant. It belongs to the Boraginaceae family, which different parts are used in the treatment of various bacterial infections. The phytochemical screening carried out on the Cordia myxa species indicates the presence of alkaloids, triterpenes, steroids, carbohydrates, flavonoids and saponins. Our investigations on the roots of this plant allowed us to isolate two triterpenes from the ethyl acetate extract, which crystallize in the Hex/AcEt [2/8] solvent system; (23R) campesta-9 (11), 24 (30) diene-18,23-diol 3-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (compound 1) and alphitolic acid (compound 2). The isolation and characterization of these compounds were carried out respectively by silica gel chromatography and by NMR (1D, 2D) spectral analysis. Compound 1and 2 were tested on the in vitro growth of E.coli and Salmonella typhi using the Muller-Hinton solid medium disc method. The results revealed that these compounds have a dose-dependent antibacterial activity on Salmonella typhi. However, compound 2 had a better antibacterial potential on the Salmonella strain (18.6±0.6mm, 30mg/ml) with the MIC=0.25mg/ml than the compound 1 (14.5±0.4mm, 30mg/ml,) with the MIC=0.44mg/ml. Few classes of antibiotics have been tested, to look for those with the best results and compare the different doses of our compounds. The two compounds did not have any effect on E. coli.

Tuber crops are widely consumed; they come in various varieties with great nutritional and non- nutritional values. They are very rich in starch. The starch content of each of the six varieties of Nigerian tubers was determined, each of the tubers was wet fractionated in the laboratory and the starch was recovered. The composition of the tubers (dry matter, protein, ash and mineral content) and starch isolation (moisture, starch, protein, phosphorus, fat and carbohydrate) were determined. Substantial differences in the starch content of the tubers were observed. The dry starch recovery ranged from 10.20% to 18.30% and the wet starch recovery ranged from 15.70-32.40%. Moisture content ranged from 13-15.80%, viscosity 275.08 -382.33. The carbohydrate, ash, fat and protein content of the six varieties of the tubers vary from 45% to 53.8%, 1.0 to 2.0%, 19.56 to 21.99% and 10.96-14.29% respectively. All six starches were insoluble in water and ethanol and proved positive to iodine and Fehling’s test. Extracted starch was dextrinated using 0.1M and 0.2M HCl separately at 160 and 100°C to obtain yellow dextrin and white dextrin respectively which were soluble in water. Modified starches were formulated into adhesives. Results obtained indicated satisfactory strength for the adhesives. Thus starches suitable for the production of adhesives were obtained.

In recent years research on biodiesel production from non-edible seed oil is receiving more attention to prevent food vs biofuels problems such as starvation in developing countries. Castor seed oil is potential non-edible biodiesel feedstock, but it has high viscosity and high acid value which are among the undesired factors in biodiesel production. The castor seed oil was extracted using soxhlet extraction method, refined using standard analytical methods and its physicochemical properties was determined using ASTM methods. The crude extracts of castor seeds oil which was characterized as high viscous oil, was refined to improve its quality, and physicochemical properties of refined and crude extracts castor seed oil was studies. The crude extracts oil (41.29±1.54%) produce was refined to reduce its high viscosity (233.0±2.00 mm 2 /s) and acid value (4.488±0.40 mgKOH/g). The viscosity and acid value of the oil significant reduced to 159.0±3.00 mm 2 /s and 2.805±0.20 mgKOH/g after the refining process. The others physicochemical properties such as flash point, saponification value, iodine value, moisture contents, specific gravity, refractive index, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, pour point and free fatty acids qualities were improved after refining. The study show that refined castor seed oil were more suitable in biodiesel production than crude castor seed oil.
