The side effects of synthetic antioxidants make it necessary to find a natural alternative. Therefore, the current study investigates the potential of T. spruneriana as a new alternative in terms of natural bioactive components. In this context, antioxidant activity, enzyme inhibition, and phenolic compounds of different extracts including ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and aqueous were identified. The results show that the ethyl acetate (113.59 ± 2.73 mg GAE/g) has the highest phenolic content, but ethanol extract has the highest scavenging activity for DPPH and TAC. The ethanol extract showed stronger inhibition on cholinesterase and α-amylase compared to other extracts. Besides, 12 bioactive compounds were characterized in T. spruneriana
The
importance of green areas is increasing day by day in urban areas that are
undergoing rapid change process as a result of today's changing needs and
technological advances. In addition, green areas that increase the quality of
urban life contribute to the sustainable development of urban areas. In this
context, in this study, the current active green areas in the province of
Aksaray is compared in the scale urban parks and neighbourhood according to the
predicted average values in laws and studies. When the 41 neighbourhood in
Aksaray province were examined in 2018, according to the results 889.375 m²
green area was determined. Also, the amount of green space per capita is
determined to be 4.18 m². According to this situation, the amount of green
areas is below the predicted values. 4 of the 41 neighbourhoods researched in
the study are in good condition in terms of green area. In the other 37
neighbourhoods, green areas are below standards. Primarily, in these places which
are below standards is necessary that activities to increase the green areas
and making the parks meet the determined standards. In line with these objectives, about
conservation and improvement of green areas must fulfil the responsibility for
each individual in society as well as relevant institutions and authorities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
