α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. root bark
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
A systematic analysis of the root bark of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was conducted to establish the antidiabetic potential of isolated compounds based on its ethnomedicinal use to manage diabetes. Chromatographic separation of ...
Simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen and tryptophan using a composite graphene foam/Zr-MOF film modified electrode
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
A graphene foam/zirconium-based metal–organic framework composite (GF/UiO-66) was synthesised and then employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). These modified electrodes were successfully used for the simultaneous ...
Removal of Dyes From Wastewater by Adsorption Onto Low-Cost Adsorbents
(IGI Global, 2020)
This chapter describes an up-to-date critique of the use of adsorption as a wastewater treatment technique for the removal of dyes. The topics range from the classification of dyes, their occurrence in water and toxicity, ...

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020)
Myxobacteria represent an under-investigated source for biologically active natural products featuring intriguing structural moieties with potential applications, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Sorangiadenosine and ...
Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Selected Kenyan Leafy Vegetables
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2020)
Naturally occurring antioxidants found in vegetables and fruits can play a critical role in deactivating free radicals often before they attack biological cells in humans. Indigenous Kenyan vegetables are potential sources ...
Production and characterization of activated carbons from sugarcane bagasse from Chemelil sugar factory, compared with commercial activated carbons
(Journal of Engineering in Agriculture and the Environment, 2020)
In Kenya activated carbon is imported yet we have enough bagasse that can be used in its production. The
activated carbon from bagasse adds economic value to the bagasse and the processing excess bagasse provides
for ...
Influence of Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates and Plucking Intervals on Tea in Peatland and Highland Ultisol Soils of Rwanda: 1 Tea Yields
(International Journal of Tea Science, Volume 15 Issue 1 (2020, 2020)
Tea in Rwanda, is grown in different agro-ecosystems comprising highlands and drained low elevation peatlands. The plantations use uniform
agricultural practices imported from Eastern Africa countries, but without re-testing ...
