The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of acid dye on color change, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, shear strength (parallel loading), thickness swelling rate, and water absorption rate of bamboo-based fiber composites from Phyllostachys pubescens. Bamboo fiber veneers were treated with acid black via three procedures: dyed in water at 20 °C, dyed in water at 90 °C, and dyed in ethanol at 75 °C. The samples dyed in ethanol at 75 °C and those dyed in water at 90 °C had a higher exhaustion rate than those dyed in water at 20 °C. The color change of bamboo fiber veneers exhibited similar variation trends by the three methods. The dyeing procedure slightly reduced the modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of bamboo-based fiber composites. Compared with the samples dyed in water, the samples dyed in ethanol had reduced shear strength (parallel loading) and modulus of elasticity. The thickness swelling rate and water absorption rate of bamboo-based fiber composite samples were reduced by the dye treatment.

“…Bombax ceiba L. Bombax" (Greek word; silkworm) "ceiba" (silk cotton tree) is a medicinal plant locally called "Sumbal" in Pakistan (Family Bombacaceae). It is a fast growing, strong tree which attains about 40 m of height (Gupta, 2012;Sint et al, 2013). In December, it sheds all leaves and in January it blossoms into bright crimson flowers.…”

Current study was intended to investigate the cytotoxic potential of Bombax ceiba L.by executing a wide range of in vitro assays. Brine shrimp lethality assay showed that stem wood's chloroform (CH) extract was highly toxic (LC50 42.41 ± 3.40 µg/ml) followed by acetone : ethyl acetate (AC:EA) extract with LC50 value of 72.92 ± 4.41 µg/ml. n-Hexane (NH) extract of root wood part caused 70.95 ± 1.77% inhibition of THP-1 cell line at 20 μg/ml concentration (IC50 15 ± 0.56 µg/ml). NH and CH extracts of stem wood part showed promising results in protein kinase inhibitory assay with 21 ± 1.2 and 29 ± 1 mm bald ZOI (MIC= 50 µg/disc) respectively. The present findings revealed that CH and NH extracts of stem wood as well as root wood part as an enriched source of phytochemicals possessing cytotoxic potential.

“…The B. ceiba L. is a tropical and subtropical tree native to South and East Asia, Indian subcontinent, western Africa and Northern Australia. It is naturally distributed in Myanmar, Pakistan, India, Taiwan, China, Moluccas, Philippine, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, Lesser Sunda Island, and New Guinea (Sint et al, 2013). Undertaken study aims to evaluate the phytochemical profile and antioxidant potential of Bombax ceiba L.…”

Current study intends to investigate the extraction yield, phytochemical analysis and antioxidant potential of selected plant by executing a wide range of in vitro assays. This was done to suggest the most proficient solvent system and plant part for isolation and purification of probable bioactive leads. The colorimetric estimation of total phenolic, flavonoid contents, total antioxidant capacity, total reducing power and free radical scavenging activity was done. The specific polyphenols were quantified by RP-HPLC analysis. The present findings proved acetone and methanol (AC:M) extract of root bark part as an enriched source of antioxidant phytochemicals. The highest amount of rutin was detected in methanol (M) extract of root bark i.e. 0.70 μg/mg DW followed by methanol (M) extract (0.52 μg/mg DW) of leaf. Bombax ceiba L. was found to be a reservoir of phytochemicals possessing antioxidant potential.
