Mineral Content Of Moringa Oleifera Leaves And Its Utilization In Controlling Blood Glucose Level In Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Abstract Moringa oleifera Lam. tree grows in many tropical and subtropical countries. The seed, leaves, root and flowers of M. oleifera are often used in traditional medicine, while the immature pods, leaves and seed are used as nutrition products in human food. This study carried out proximate analysis for mineral elements assessment in dried M. oleifera leaves. Fresh leaves of M. oleifera lam were plucked from M. oleifera trees in River Nile State (Atbara Town). Analyzed for the mineral el...

Chemical Characterization of Kidney Stone Samples from Some Sudanese Patients

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of kidney stones obtained from some Sudanese patients. The samples were collected after surgical removal. The samples were analyzed by FTIR and XRF spectroscopic techniques. Titrimetric analysis was carried for determination of oxalate content using standard potassium permanganate solution. The IR analysis spectra of the samples showed the appearance of (C-H), (C=O), (O-C), (N-H), (C-C), (P-CH2), (C=C), (P= O), (R-O),...

Removal Efficiency Of Some Toxic Heavy Metals From Water By Adsorption By Using Graphite Activated Carbon (GAC)

Abstract Heavy metals are known to be toxic for living organisms even if they are present at low levels. The presence of heavy metals, organic dyes and microbial pollutants in water continue to be a major concern and the removal of such contaminants is considered to be a major problem in environmental remediation. In the present study, activated graphite was used for removal of some heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption method. The adsorption efficiency of removal of he...

Optoelectronic Properties Of Coumarin Based Donor-Π-Acceptor (D-Π-A) Dyes For Applications In Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (Dsscs)

ABSTRACT Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are the one among the important device which established a consideration attention for transferring a fresh solar energy to electricity in the most recent decade. Coumarin dye is one among metal free organic dyes which hold a higher potential for operating in DSSC because of its environmentally friendly, inexpensive and easy to fabricate. The aim of this study was to apply computational quantum calculations which persuade to appreciate the molecula...

Comparison Of Some Biochemical And Molecular DNA Extraction Techniques Used In Sudan Criminal Laboratory

Abstract The advantages of DNA typing and its use for human identity testing has revolutionized law enforcement investigations in recent years by allowing forensic laboratories to match suspects with minuscule amounts of biological evidence from a crime scene. Equally important is the use of DNA to exclude suspects who were not involved in a crime or to identify the rapist in sexual crimes and in paternity cases from different samples (Evidences) from different cases were collected and extr...

Foaming Fractionation and Physicochemical Characterization of Azadrakhta indicia Gum

Abstract In this research from Azadirachta Indica (Wild) , neem gum was fractionated by foaming method into two fractions, high protein fraction (HPF) that represents 65% of the weight gum and a low protein fraction (LPF) which represents 35% of the gum. A comparative study between the crude gum and the two fractions was conducted in the scope of their physiochemical properties. Proximate analysis of the crude gum and fractions HPF and LPF respectively revealed that, the moisture content 7.5...

Assessment Of Common Heavy Metal Pollution In Topsoils Along Major Roadside Areas Due To Traffic Activity In Khartoum State -Sudan

Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the accumulative levels of Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni and Cu in roadside topsoil of three major streets in Khartoum State and the relation between the concentration of these metals and soil chemical properties. The collected roadsides topsoil samples were prepared with an improved closed wet digestion system and the heavy metals concentrations in the extracts were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The mean concentration ranges of me...

Determination of Heavy Metals and Hydroquinone Contents in Cosmetic Products Sold in Sudan

Nowadays, the use of facial makeup among most Sudanese ladies becomes very popular without being aware about the potential dangers that can threaten their health while using these cosmetics. Several facial cosmetics available in Sudanese markets are unsafe. A questionnaire survey and statistical analysis were employed in this investigation. Actual participants size (500) were females, university students (70%), employees ladies (20%), house wives (7.5%) and others (2.5%). It was found th...
