Hydroethanolic extracts were prepared by extracting 2.5 g of each freeze-dried sample with an ethanol:water solution (80:20, v/v) under magnetic stirring for 1 h. After filtration through a Whatman filter paper N°. 4, the plant residue was re-extracted and the combined filtrates were then evaporated under pressure at 40 °C (rotary evaporator Büchi R-210, Flawil, Switzerland) and subsequently lyophilized.
Decoctions were prepared using 1 g of freeze-dried samples and 100 mL of heated distilled water. The mixture was boiled for 5 min using a heating plate (VELP Scientific) and then filtrated through a Whatman filter paper N°. 4. The obtained decoctions were frozen and lyophilized to obtain a dried extract.

Pectin extractions were made with a solid–liquid ratio of 1:20 (w/v) in acidic aqueous solutions, adjusting the pH with a 1 M HCl solution, then heated on a hotplate with magnetic stirring for the selected time. After that, the pectin-based solution was first filtered with a muslin cloth, followed by vacuum filtration using Whatman filter paper n° 4 at 60 °C. The pectin-based solution was mixed with 96% (v/v) ethanol at a ratio of 1:2 (v/v) and left overnight in the freezer. The coagulated pectin was centrifuged at (23,450× g for 20 min) and washed with 96% (v/v) ethanol and acetone in consecutive washing cycles, in order to remove water and low molecular weight or polar compounds. The wet pectin was left to dry at 60 °C in a hot air oven until constant weight, then grounded and stored in a desiccator until further analysis. Pectin yield (Y%) was calculated from the following equation: Y(%)=m0m×100
where m0 (g) is the weight of dry pectin and m (g) is the weight of dry watermelon rind powder.

Daniellia oliveri root bark was collected in Lara (Far North Region, Cameroon) in the month of December 2017 and authentificated at the National Herbarium, Yaoundé, where a voucher specimen was deposited under the reference number 14890/SRF/Cam-YA. After collection, Daniellia oliveri (DO) root bark was shade-dried for 5 days and pulverized into a fine powder. The extraction procedure used was as previously described by Soro et al. [19 ]. Briefly, 150 g pulverized sample material was introduced in 1 L of distilled water and boiled for 30 min. The filtrate was passed through a Whatman filter paper N° 4 and the solvent was eliminated from the extract using a temperature controlled oven (50°C for 24 hours). The powder obtained was weighed and the extraction yield was determined (1.85%).

Lyophilized biomass (50 g) of Tisochrysis lutea was dispersed in the chosen solvent and homogenized using a disperser IKA T10B Ultra-Turrax at room temperature. The extractions were made sequentially using 200 mL of hexane, dichloromethane, and acetone at room temperature to obtain crude extracts. The extractions were done in triplicate, filtered through Whatman filter paper n° 4, and the supernatants combined and concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator, at 40 °C. All extracts were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 50 mg/mL, aliquoted, and stored at 4 °C until use.

Folch Method for Intramuscular Lipid Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intramuscular lipids were extracted according to Folch et al. (1957) (link). Ten grams of sample was mixed with 50 mL of solvent (chloroform/methanol; 2/1, v/v) using an Ultra-Turrax homogenizer (T-25, IKA®, Staufen Im Breisgau, Germany) at 11000 rpm for 1 min, and then the mixture was filtered through Whatman filter paper (N° 4). The pellet was washed with 50 mL of the same solvent and filtered again. The filtrates were combined, 5 mL of sodium chloride 0.73% was added, and the mixture was left to separate in a separating funnel. When two distinct phases were obtained, the lower phase containing the lipids and chloroform was extracted. The solvents were removed using a rotary evaporator under vacuum. The total lipid content was measured by weighing the residue after evaporation of the solvent (until constant weight). The fatty acid composition was determined according to the ISO/DIS 15304 standard. Three replicates were performed for each measurement.

Extraction and Quantification of Marrubiin from Aerial Parts of Marrubium vulgare

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
M. vulgare, aerial parts, was air-dried in the dark at room temperature and then grounded to a fine powder. Extracts were obtained by mixing 2.5 g of the powder of each sample with 3 × 25 mL of methanol for 24 h at room temperature. Plant material was extracted three times, and the extracts were gathered, filtered through Whatman filter paper N4, and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The yield of each extract was: Bizerte 61 ± 4.0 mg/g Dw; Boussalem 86 ± 8.7 mg/g Dw; Zaghouan 45 ± 7.0 mg/g Dw; Tunis 58 ± 9.8 mg/g Dw; Kasserine 84 ± 1.0 mg/g Dw.
To evaluate the marrubiin content, 2.5 g of dried plant was extracted with 3 × 25 mL of acetone. The extracts were then gathered. The solvent was removed by vacuum distillation and the residue was kept in the dark at 4 °C until analysis.

Beer brewing process was adapted from Kawa-Rygielska et al., (2019) . All beer formulas were mashed by using DME and the alternative ingredients (8.2% (W/W)) and 3 L of water. Infusion mashing was conducted on water 65 °C and heated until the temperature of liquid reached 75°C. The mash was firstly filtrated through colander and then by Whatman filter paper (N°4). Dried hops (170 mg/L) were added to resultant wort and boiled at 100°C for 1 h, then rapidly cooled down to a temperature of 25°C. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts (1.7 g) was rehydrated in pure water for 30 min at 25°C, then were added to all wort formulas. Fermentation was carried out in 5 L glass fermentation flasks for three weeks.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
