Evaluation of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Saponin Extracts from Different Parts of Argania spinosa L. Skeels by Yousra El Idrissi, Youssef Elouafy, Hamza El Moudden, Najoua Mghazli, Chakir El Guezzane, Adil El Yadini, Hicham Harhar, Abdelkader Zarrouk, Khang Wen Goh, Long Chiau Ming, Abdelhakim Bouyahya, Mohammed Tabyaoui

“…The samples showed antioxidant capacity by DPPH versus ascorbic acid (IC50 = 1.92 µg/mL) and by ABTS using the similar standard (IC50 = 11.31 µg/mL). The antioxidant activity of the samples was significantly improved from the crude shell extract (IC50 = 5.85 µg/mL) to its butanolic fraction (IC50 = 2.94 µg/mL) and its precipitate (IC50 = 1.57 µg/mL) using 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl. …”

Nitrogen Incorporation in TiO2: Does It Make a Visible Light Photo-Active Material? by B. Viswanathan, K. R. Krishanmurthy

“…The specific aspects that are discussed in this article are: (i) N-doped titania surface adopts a non-native configuration, though the bulk material is still in the native configuration of pure TiO2 (ii) Though the nitrogen doped materials showed optical response in the visible region, the changes/improvements in photo-catalytic activity are only marginal in most of the cases. (iii) The exact chemical nature/state of the introduced nitrogen, and its location in titania lattice, substitutional and/or interstitial, is still unclear (iv) Is there a limit to the incorporation of nitrogen in the lattice of TiO2?…”
