Abstract:

There is a considerable concern among consumers regarding the health risk of using synthetic additives for food preservation. Therefore, there is need for the use of plant products for food preservation. Objectives: This study was designed to to identify the phytochemicals in aqueous and methanol extracts of Acalypha wilkesiana and examine the effects of extracts of Acalypha wilkesiena on the growth of fungi and bacteria isolated from spoilt fruits and vegetables. Material and methods: The extracts were prepared according to standard methods. The extract solution (100%) was further diluted to

The addition of the extract to the HCl solution decreased the corrosion current density (Icorr) compared to the blank solution; the plot showed that Icorr increased along with the concentrations of Acalypha Wilkesiana extract, indicating that the extract is effective in preventing corrosion even under the most unfavorable conditions. Surface characterization confirmed the formation of this protective layer, and FTIR analysis identified the main functional groups implicated in the metalinhibitor interaction.

Information on the ability of both plants to uptake and accumulate Cu and Pb from spiked soil is insufficient. Plant cuttings were grown in a 2 kg soil spiked with heavy metals and kept at the greenhouse for the period of 240 days. Root, stem and leaf of the plants were analyzed for Cu and Pb using Atomic Absorption S

In the annals of biomedical theory perhaps no single class of natural product has enjoyed more ingenious speculation than antioxidants formally aimed at counteracting oxidative insults which are involved in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, skin ageing and wound healing. In pursuing our study of Malaysian traditional medicines with antioxidant properties, we became interested in Acalypha wilkesiana var. macafeana hort., used traditionally to heal wounds.

The dynamism of global trade and a changing climate has aided the threats posed by plant pests and diseases on food security. Combating the long-standing challenges posed by pests and diseases has been a frontline issue among the various stakeholders in the agricultural food value chain. Investment in newer synthetic pesticides with increased selectivity towards target pests and decreased toxicity to mammals, the introduction of genetically-modified crops, and development of automated technology for early detection and monitoring of pest population are some 21st-century research advancements t

Leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana ‘bronze pink’ once produced, change colour over time from green to bronze and then to pink. Leaves of all shades except green are often collected for treatment of skin fungal infections. The relationship between the phytochemical content and antifungal activity of different shades of leaves are studied. Bronze (approx. 100%), 50% pink/bronze and Pink (approx. 100%) coloured leaves were used for the analyses. Results showed that pink leaves have the highest amount of anthocyanins and the least total amount of chlorophyll while bronze leaves showed the highest total
