Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, so all plants growing in soils contain Si. However, they differ in their ability to accumulate Si, being fruit trees, including the olive, low Si accumulators. Several works have shown that Si nutrition stimulates vegetative...

Within the framework of using organic waste in line with sustainable development, which helps reduce carbon emissions and overcoming pollution resulting from burning these wastes while also lowering reducing cost of purchasing peat-moss imported from abroad, this investigation aimed to study the...

'Corbella' is an ancient olive cultivar whose cultivation has recently been revived and hence little is known about its composition. This is the first work studying the metabolic profile of 'Corbella' olives during early maturation. Olives with a ripening index (RI) < 1 yielded considerably less oil content (< 40%) but had more concentration of phenolic compounds (148.41-219.70 mg/kg), carotenoids (9.61-14.94 mg/kg) and squalene (521.41-624.40 mg/kg). Contrarily, the levels of α-tocopherol were higher at the RI of 1.08 and 1.96 (64.57 and 57.75 mg/kg, respectively). The most abundant phenolic compound was oleuropein aglycone (>50% of the phenolic...

The purpose of this study was to collect data for future clinical investigations and research on the safe and efficient use of various herbal medicines to treat hyperglycemia. One of the primary contributing reasons to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy is hyperglycemia, and many...

Multiple sclerosis disease (MS) is a 38.5 chronic neurological autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system, and its incidence is increasing globally. At present, there is no cure for this disease, and with its severity and disabling variety, it is important to search for possibilities that...

Objectives: To investigate the protective effect of ethanol extract from sweet potato leaves on liver injury induced by CCI, in mice. Methods: 25 ICR mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, high-dose extract group (200 mg/kg), low-dose extract group (100 mg/kg) and positive...

Climate change has reduced the availability of good quality water for agriculture, while favoring the proliferation of harmful insects, especially in Mediterranean areas. Deploying IoT-based systems can help optimize water-use efficiency in agriculture and address problems caused by extreme weather ...

Biosaponines were extracted from individual plant and formulation was prepared with aqueous juice of hibiscus petals as base. The proportion of individual saponin extract is selected upon its foaming index. Finally olive oil and citrodora oil was added as conditioner and antidandruff respectively,...

Sustainable methods for enhancing the quality of medicinal herbs are required to provide high amounts of antioxidants widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry. In this study, the impact of olive pomace (OMP) addition on total phenoliccontent (TPC), total flavonoid content...

Atmospheric carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems has become a significant challenge in the global framework of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The main objective of this study is to provide estimation of organic carbon stocks in the agricultural soils of the Sidi Bel Abbes plain at...
