Crocus sativus L.(Saffron) has long been known for multiple target therapeutic uses. The
plant metabolism is well investigated and the main metabolites related to saffron …

A simple, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography–UV (HPLC–UV)
method has been developed for the first time to simultaneously quantify the five major …

An immobilization protocol of a model enzyme into silica nanoparticles was applied. This
protocol exploited the use of the bifunctional molecule triethoxysilylpropylisocyanate (TEPI) …

Psychotropic effect of Crocus sativus L.(family Iridaceae) biologically active chemical
compounds are quite well documented and they can therefore be used in addition to the …

ABSTRACT A method for simultaneous identification and quantification of crocins and
picrocrocin by HPLC‐DAD in aqueous extracts of saffron spice was used. The coefficients of …

A dehydration postharvesting treatment is necessary to convert Crocus sativus L. stigmas
into saffron spice. Three different dehydration treatments were evaluated: dehydration at …

β-Glucosidase (BG) was immobilized by adsorption on wrinkled silica nanoparticles (WSNs)
giving an active and stable biocatalyst for the hydrolysis of cellobiose. WSNs exhibiting both …

Saffron, the most expensive spice worldwide, is comprised of the dried stigmas of the plant
Crocus sativus Linnaeus of the Iridaceae family, a sterile triploid not found in the wild …

Kinetic parameters of β-glucosidase from almond immobilized in a continuous membrane
reactor have been studied and compared with free enzyme used in a stirred tank reactor …
