ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES OF CAMELLIA SINENSIS (L.) KUNTZE LEAVES OBTAINED BY DIFFERENT FORMS OF PRODUCTION

Antioxidant and antifungal activities of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze leaves obtained by different forms of production

Abstract The antioxidant VCRs and anticandidal activities of leaves obtained from Camellia sinensis by non-fermentation (green and white teas), semi-fermentation (red tea) and fermentation method (black tea) were investigated.It was evaluated the total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteau assay; antioxidant capacities were evaluated in vitro using

Preparation of magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles as a multifunctional platform for potential drug delivery and hyperthermia

We report the preparation of magnetic mesoporous silica (MMS) nanoparticles with the potential multifunctionality of drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia.Carbon-encapsulated magnetic colloidal nanoparticles (MCN@C) were used to coat mesoporous silica shells for the formation of the core-shell structured MMS nanoparticles (MCN@C/mSiO2), and the r
