OBJECTIVE Phytochemical constituents as well as antimalarial and toxicity potentials of the methanolic extract of the husk fibre of Dwarf Red variety of Cocos nucifera were evaluated in this study. METHODS The dried powdered husk fibre was exhaustively extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate and

Coconut cake is an abundant and good potential edible protein source. However, until now it has not been extensively used in the food industry. To promote its usage, the characterization, nutrition value and antioxidant activity of coconut cake protein fractions (albumin, globulin, prolamine,

In this work, a water-insoluble β-D-glucan (PCSG), isolated from Poria cocos, was carboxymethylated to create a water-soluble derivative named as CP. After free amino groups have been introduced, CP was covalently immobilized onto PU surface. The hydrophilicity and the concentration of carboxyl

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf hydroethanolic extract (PHE) against nephrotic syndrome (NS) in rats and to identify the potential active components from PHE. METHODS The high content compounds were isolated and purified by using column chromatography followed by

BACKGROUND Formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) is recognized as a major pathogenic process in diabetic complications, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, reactive oxygen species and free radicals have also been reported to participate in AGE
