cinnamaldehyde/zea mays

The toxicity of cinnamaldehyde (CNMA) was compared after administration by gavage and in dosed feed. Rats and mice of both sexes received CNMA by daily corn oil gavage (for 2 wk), or in microencapsulated form in feed (2 wk for rats, 3 wk for mice). Feed formulations contained 0-10% CNMA

The bioavailability of microencapsulated cinnamaldehyde (CNMA) was investigated in male F344 rats. Rats were gavaged with CNMA in corn oil using either microencapsulated or the neat chemical at doses of 50, 250, and 500 mg/kg. No differences between the two formulations at any of the doses were

Several active components naturally available in plants are strongly considered as good antioxidants to retard the lipid oxidation. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of frying temperature (150-180 °C) and concentration of four plant-based active components (60-350

The toxicokinetic profile of cinnamaldehyde (CNMA) was investigated in Fischer 344 rats. CNMA was found to be unstable in blood. After iv administration, a large fraction of CNMA was immediately oxidized to cinnamic acid. The biological half-life of CNMA after iv administration was found to be 1.7

Cinnamomum osmophloeum Kanehira is a Taiwan native plant that belongs to genus Cinnamomum and is also known as pseudocinnamomum or indigenous cinnamon. Its leaf is traditionally used by local people in cooking and as folk therapy. We previously demonstrated the chemical composition and

Monitoring of insects by trapping is one of the prime tools of field entomologists. The leaf beetle Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae) is no exception. Since its numbers (and consequently its mass) in a field population can be enormous, tools must be adapted to hold

Field studies in corn (Zea mays L.) were conducted to evaluate distribution patterns of 4-methoxy-cinnamaldehyde (MCA) coated corn grits after aerial application with a Dromader fixed wing aircraft. The kairomone mimic MCA is synthetically available and a quite specific and efficient adult

Field studies in corn (Zea mays L.) were conducted during the summer of 2000 to evaluate distribution patterns of corn grits treated with MCA (4-methoxy cinnamaldehyde). Aerial application was used in a 8 ha corn field situated in south-east Hungary. Corn granules ('grits') of 10-12 mesh size were
