Yeast invertase, a glycoprotein, was covalently coupled to Ocimum basilicum seeds either through its protein or carbohydrate moiety. Of the various methods investigated, binding of the enzyme through its carbohydrate moiety resulted in the retention of considerably higher amounts of enzyme activity.
OBJECTIVE
Ocimum basilicum L (Lamiaceae) is used as a traditional remedy for different ailments, including diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the antidiabetic effects of an extract of aerial parts of O. basilicum.
METHODS
Antihyperglycemic effect of the extract was determined by its effects
There is a lack of information about the transgenerational effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) in plants. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of successive exposure of nano-TiO2 with different surface properties to basil (Ocimum basilicum). Seeds from plants exposed or
Ocimum basilicum var. purpurascens (red rubin basil) is a basil variety rich in anthocyanin compounds, commonly used in the food industry as an aromatic plant. In this study, the nutritional and chemical compositions of red rubin basil leaves were analysed, as well as, the antimicrobial activity and
The role of silver nanoparticles (AgNps) is an attractive proposition for advancing modern diabetes therapies and applied science. Stable AgNps with a size range of 3-25 nm were synthesized using aqueous leaf extracts from Ocimum basilicum, Ocimum sanctum, and in combination. The concentration of
Little is known about the effects of surface coating on the interaction of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) with plants. In this study, basil (Ocimum basilicum) was cultivated for 65 days in soil amended with unmodified, hydrophobic (coated with aluminum oxide and dimethicone), and hydrophilic
Many studies have discussed the influence of elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) on modeling and crop plants. However, much less effort has been dedicated to herbal plants. In this study, a robust monitoring for the levels of 94 primary and secondary metabolites and minerals in two medicinal herbs, basil
