Antioxidant Properties of a Supercritical Fluid Extract of the Halophyte Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum L. from Sicilian Coasts: Nutraceutical and Cosme…

2020

The aim of this paper was to obtain different extracts from the aerial parts of Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum, comparing traditional extraction (using solvents with increasing polarity such as hexane, ethanol 80%, acetone 70% and water) with an eco-friendly technique (supercritical fluid extraction (SFE))

Role of Food Antioxidants in Modulating Gut Microbial Communities: Novel Understandings in Intestinal Oxidative Stress Damage and Their Impact on Hos…

2021

Dietary components have an important role on the structure and function of host gut microbial communities. Even though, various dietary components, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fibers, and vitamins, have been studied in depth for their effect on gut microbiomes, little attention has been paid regarding the impact of several food antioxidants on the gut microbiome. The long-term exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause microbial dysbiosis which leads to numerous intestinal diseases such as microbiota dysbiosis, intestinal injury, colorectal cancers, enteric infections, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Recently, it has been shown that the food derived antioxidant compound…

Morphological, karyological and taxonomic remarks on Ferulago nodosa (L.) Boiss. (Apiaceae)

2012

Abstract Western (Sicilian) and eastern (Balcan-aegean) populations of the Balcan-tyrrhenian Ferulago nodosa are reported to be different in some morphological characters, and were considered different species by some authors in XIX century. In this work, fruit and pollen morphologies have been compared in Sicilian and Cretan plants; also, the chromosome number of Sicilian plants has been ascertained. Preliminary results highlight a general homogeneity between the two populations, nevertheless showing significant differences in some parameters (fruit form, pollen size). For this reason, and considering the geographic disjunction of the Sicilian plants, the two populations are proposed to be…

The Essential Oil Composition ofEryngium foetidumL. in South Vietnam Extracted by Hydrodistillation under Conventional Heating and Microwave Irradiat…

2008

Abstract Essential oils of Eryngium foetidum L. (Apiaceae) in the South Vietnam isolated by hydrodistillation under conventional heating or microwave irradiation showed somewhat similar in chemical compositions. The microwave method gave a higher extraction yield in a much shorter time frame than the conventional heating protocol. Noticeably, the oil obtained from the microwave method showed a stronger antimicrobial activity than the other. Among all parts of the plant, inflorescence contained the highest oil content, and three-month old plant material was found richest in oil content as well. Physical, chemical and antibacterial properties of the oil products isolated from both methods wer…

Karthago provinciae nostrae magistra venerabilis. Uno sguardo su Cartagine: i Florida di Apuleio

2023

This paper proposes a focus on the city of Carthage through Florida: Apuleius lavishes continuous and extraordinary praise on Carthage and its citizens. It becomes clear how the city, in Apuleius' time, was by then an established and ‘Romanised’ cultural centre. In Apuleius' words, Carthage appears as the only city capable of competing with Rome.

MERCES… SENTICOSA. Immaginari stoici nei Floridia di Apuleio

Merces… senticosa. Stoic images in the Florida of Apuleius · In the Florida Apuleius makes use of images related to the rhetorical-philosophical stoic tradition. In particular, in Fl. 18 Apuleius describes the famous sophism of Protagoras, by using, trought an intellectual virtuosity, the metaphor of thorns, a stylistic device linked with the characterization of the Stoicism.
