TL;DR: In this paper, both edible (coconut oil, palm oil, groundnut oil, and rice bran oil) and non-edible oils (pongamia, neem and cotton seed oil) were used to optimize the biodiesel production process variables like catalyst concentration, amount of methanol required for reaction, reaction time and reaction temperature.

TL;DR: It is concluded that both the treatments with aqueous and ethanolic extract of C. igneus (stem) and isolated compounds lupeol and stigmasterol had an inhibitory effect on calcium oxalate urinary stone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single-cylinder diesel engine was operated from no load to full load condition using cottonseed oil transesterified to convert into biodiesel and the effect of this biodiesel on engine parameters, namely, fuel consumption, electrical efficiency, lower heating value, and engine speed, was examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt has been made to isolate, characterize, and to quantify diosgenin from sapogenin extract of Costus igneus rhizome, which was chromatographed on silica gel column, eluting with solvent mixtures of increasing polarity composed of n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate (ethyl acetate up to 80%).

TL;DR: The usefulness of polyanisidine–anion films as sensing platform for biomolecules is indicated, found to be suitable for the immobilization of glucose oxidase enzyme and to be an efficient sensing matrix for glucose.
