N-hexane was used to extract the mango seed oil, while, palm oil was manually isolated by pressing method after heating to softness. Some physio-chemical properties, like, percentage yield, saponification value, acid value, iodine value, refractive index, etc., were carried out according to standards to determine the suitability of the oils in bio-resin synthesis. The colour intensity of the alkyd resins were tested using Gardner scale, elasticity by viscometer, hardness, chemical resistance, and other properties of the alkyd resin were tested according to standard. The Infra-Red (IR) spectra of the raw oils and their respective alkyd resins were determined before modification. Palm oil alkyd resin exhibited a characteristic straight chain of ester functional group at 1738.64 cm−1 and aromatic (C=C) ring of ester at 1730.09 cm−1 while, mango seed oil alkyd resin showed spectrum of strong peaks at 11698 cm−1 with stretching frequency to 1240 cm−1, 1221 cm−1, 1188 cm−1, indicating the presence of a carbon atom single bonded to oxygen. The hardness, glossy tests, drying time, chemical resistance, etc., of the sample alkyd resins compared well to the commercial grade alkyd resin.展开更多

It is found in the wild in tropical regions and cultivated varieties have been introduced to other warm regions of the world. This present study aimed to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial activities of methanol and ethanol extracts of mango seed against 25 representatives gram positive, gram negative, acid fast bacteria and fungi. Mango fruit seed were extracted by Soxhlet using methanol and ethanol as solvents. The extracts were tested against the microorganisms using disc diffusion method at different concentrations: 5 mg/mL, 3.75 mg/mL, 3.125 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 1.875 mg/mL and 1.25 mg/mL). In vitro antibacterial activities of methanol and ethanol extracts of mango bulb showed inhibitions to tested organisms with variable inhibition zones. Except one organism (Rhodococcus equi), no resistance among the tested strains was shown. The mean zone of inhibition produced ranged between 5 mmand18 mmwith18 mm/Mycobacterium smegmatis showed the highest zone of inhibition. In most test strains comparable zones of inhibitions were noted for both methanol and ethanol extract. Candida albicans and Aspergilllus niger were both inhibited by the extracts. The methanol and ethanol extracts of mango seed showed good inhibitory effects against almost all tested strains. The inhibition zones produced by mango extract were less than those produced by standard positive control drug. This could be due to low diffusion rate of mango extract in agarose medium, a thing needed to be further investigated. The products are potential new antimicrobial therapy in the ethnopharmacology domain.展开更多

Thus, this study aimed to the production of mango beverage and mango flavored beverage fortified with chia seeds;evaluate the chemical properties of chia seeds and study the effect of adding carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum and low acyl gellan gum at the concentrations of 0.05% and 0.1% on the stability of suspension chia seeds in beverage during storage at ambient temperature for six months. Viscosity, color, zeta potential, suspension of seeds and organoleptic properties were evaluated. Results showed that chia seeds were rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber. The addition of 0.05% gellan gum led to improved appearance attributes and the highest stability of suspension of chia seeds for six months, and was the sample which scored highest for overall acceptability compared to the other samples of beverages. Results indicated that using chia seeds with the addition of 0.05% low acyl gellan gum led to the production of fortified mango beverage and mango flavored beverage with high stability for six months.展开更多
