Topical emulsions are widely used in dermo-cosmetology. Several topical formulations, such as sunscreen and anti-wrinkle creams, are prepared based on plant extracts for different dermatological affections. The main objective of this study was to formulate an emulsion-type sunscreen by incorporating tea leaf extract as an active ingredient. A spectrophotometric assay of the main phenolic groups and the screening of the antioxidant power using DPPH assay were carried out. Different O/W emulsions were prepared using tea leaf extract as an active ingredient, and their physical stability was assessed based on various physicochemical characteristics, including color, creaming, liquefaction, centrifugation, and pH. The results showed the potential of tea leaf extract and the possibility to be used as an active ingredient in new natural sunscreens due to its antioxidant activity. The tea leaf extract-based emulsion was stable and gave satisfactory results regarding the stability tests carried out during the...

This study was conducted to determine the efficient level of growth regulator best suitable for the growth performance of T. daniellii rhizomes. The samples were concentrations of growth regulator mixed with 2kg of topsoil at different ratios as treatments. Eight (5) treatments included: varied concentrations of Indol-3-L butyric acid (0ml, 0.2ml, 0.4ml, 0.6ml and 0.8ml) + 2kg soil. The treatments were replicated five (5) times and laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Parameters assessed were plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves root length, and leaf area of the seedlings. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The result showed a significant difference among the treatments at 5% probability level except in plant height. It can be concluded that adding 0.4ml Indol-3-ylbutyric acid is most suitable for T. daniellii rhizomes and is recommended for better producing healthy and vigorous...

Compost tea used as organic fertilizer have beneficial effects on plants growth and is considered as a valuable soil amendment with disease suppressing activity. This study was conducted to determine the concentration of Compost tea from two sources organic manures necessary for growth performance of A. muricata seedlings. Compost tea from cow dung and horse dung were applied at different concentration rate (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 9 treatments each replicated seven (7) times. Parameters assessed were plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves of the seedlings. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of significance. The result showed that there was no significant difference among the treatments at 5% probability level as T5 (cow dung 100%) had best performance plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves with mean of 11.25cm, 7.57cm and 7.00 at 10th week respectively. It can be concluded that undiluted...
