Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Traditional medicine, Botany, Antioxidant, Medicinal plants and DPPH. His Traditional medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cape and Asphodelaceae. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phosphorus, Antibacterial agent, Antimicrobial and Free Radical Scavenging Activity in addition to Botany.

His Antioxidant study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Steroid, Food science and Solanum aculeastrum. His research in Medicinal plants intersects with topics in Biotechnology and Mass propagation. His work in DPPH addresses subjects such as Polyphenol, which are connected to disciplines such as Phytochemical and Antibacterial activity.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparative evaluation of the antibacterial activities of the essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis L. obtained by hydrodistillation and solvent free microwave extraction methods. (238 citations)
  • The proposed mechanism of bactericidal action of eugenol, &#8733-terpineol and g-terpinene against Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pyogenes, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli (115 citations)
  • The effect of Aloe ferox Mill. in the treatment of loperamide-induced constipation in Wistar rats (105 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Traditional medicine, Botany, Antioxidant, Food science and Antimicrobial. His work deals with themes such as Antibacterial activity, ABTS and Cape, which intersect with Traditional medicine. His ABTS research incorporates elements of Proanthocyanidin and Flavonols.

Antioxidant is a subfield of Biochemistry that he explores. Antimicrobial is a subfield of Microbiology that Anthony Jide Afolayan investigates. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Polyphenol and Flavonoid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Traditional medicine (39.69%)
  • Botany (21.67%)
  • Antioxidant (15.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Food science (14.88%)
  • Traditional medicine (39.69%)
  • Horticulture (8.88%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Food science, Traditional medicine, Horticulture, Phytochemical and Polyphenol. His study in Food science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vitamin and Lipid oxidation. In the field of Traditional medicine, his study on Medicinal plants overlaps with subjects such as Cucumis africanus.

His work in the fields of Sowing, Capsicum annuum and Germination overlaps with other areas such as Amaranthus caudatus. Anthony Jide Afolayan has researched Phytochemical in several fields, including DPPH, ABTS, Antioxidant, Flavonoid and Proanthocyanidin. His Antimicrobial research focuses on Toxicity and how it connects with Celosia argentea and Plant maturity.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Antioxidant and phytochemical activities of Amaranthus caudatus L. harvested from different soils at various growth stages. (15 citations)
  • Helminthiases; prevalence, transmission, host-parasite interactions, resistance to common synthetic drugs and treatment. (14 citations)
  • Phytochemical Constituents and Antioxidant Activity of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Essential Oil on Ground Beef from Boran and Nguni Cattle (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Food science, Phytochemical, Traditional medicine, Proximate and Amaranthus caudatus. His work on Essential oil and Hibiscus sabdariffa as part of general Food science study is frequently connected to Capsaicin, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Phytochemical study combines topics in areas such as DPPH, ABTS, Antioxidant and Aroma.

His study involves Proanthocyanidin and Polyphenol, a branch of Antioxidant. His research integrates issues of IC50 and Potency in his study of Traditional medicine. His Proximate research also works with subjects such as

  • Saponin which connect with Medicinal plants, Musa × paradisiaca and Flesh,
  • Nutrient which is related to area like Oxalate, Vitamin and Animal science.
