Evaluating Remedy of Oil Polluted Environment Using Fermented Cassava Liquid
Abstract: A 28-day experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of fermented cassava liquid in the bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated soils. Three soil types, namely clay, sandy-loamy, and swampy soils, were examined. Cassava liquid was fermented for six days to allow sufficient microbial growth before being introduced into the contaminated soil samples. Uninoculated contaminated soil served as the control. Soil samples were collected at one-week intervals throughout the study for …

Chemistry of Mehandi (Henna): Natural Dyeing Mechanism, Composition, and Applications
Abstract: Mehandi (Henna), derived from the plant Lawsonia inermis, is one of the oldest natural dyes used for body art, hair coloring, and traditional medicinal applications. Beyond its cultural significance, henna represents an interesting example of applied organic chemistry, where naturally occurring molecules interact with biological tissues to produce long-lasting coloration. The primary coloring constituent of henna is Lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a naphthoquinone compound responsible for the characteristic reddish-brown stain. When henna …
