eight samples of flowering tops from six species of the genus crataegus l., commonly called hawthorn, from different geographic locations of iran were standardized according to german pharmacopoeia monograph on crataegi folium cum flore (hawthorn leaf with flower) by high-performance thin-layer chromatograph-ic (hptlc) fingerprinting combining with digital scanning profiling of their major poly...

Hedgerow fruits provide a food resource for several UK farmland bird species from late summer, through winter and into spring. This project aims to develop the understanding of the interactions between fruit-bearing hedgerow flowers, their pollinators, hedgerow fruits and frugivorous birds. Experiments revealed that flowers of blackthorn, hawthorn and ivy all benefited from insect visits in ord...

The experiment was conducted to proof the new natural plant extracts (Fagopyrum Mill. (buckwheat), Crataegus ex L., (hawthorn), Hypericum L. (St -John's -wort's) and Helichrysum arenarium) and selected flavonoids as reference substances for the in vitro. The probing was performed as considering four different parameters: the antioxidant activity, the antiradical activity – DPPH test, the DPH te...

This study aims to evaluate the pomological and physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity phenolic profile of three cultivars hawthorn. A total nine compounds were identified in C. orientalis subsp. fruits by using RP-HPLC-DAD system. These comprised acids (i.e., gallic, chlorogenic, caffeic, syringic p-coumaric acids) flavonoids catechin, epicatechin, rutin procyanidin-B2). The maj...

BACKGROUND The current typical drying methods for red ginseng are sun drying and hot-air drying. The purpose of this study was to investigate drying characteristics of red ginseng by using far-infrared drying. METHODS The far-infrared drying tests on red ginseng were conducted at two drying stages: (1) high temperature for 24 h drying and (2) low temperature drying until the final moisture co...
