Celtis australis is a deciduous tree commonly known as Mediterranean hackberry or the European nettle tree. The fruit of hackberry are seldom used for nutritional purposes. The nutritional and physicochemical properties of ripe hackberry fruit from Istria (Marasi village near Vrsar, Croatia) were determined, including water, total fiber, protein, vitamin, mineral, and phenolic contents. This an...

To enhance the production of phenolic compounds with high antioxidant activity and reduce the level of phototoxic fagopyrin, buckwheat leaves were extracted with subcritical water (SW) at 100~220°C for 10~50 min. The major phenolic compounds were quercetin, gallic acid, and protocatechuic acid. The cumulative amount of individual phenolic compounds increased with increasing extraction temperatu...

A phenolic compound has been isolated from the leaves part of Eucalyptus citriodora through maceration, fractionation, and chromatography analysis. The structural elucidation was carried out using spectroscopy techniques, such as UV-Vis, FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR which determined that an analog methyl gallate.

Phenolic compounds were measured in leaf tissues of apple cvs Jonagold and Golden Delicious, healthy and infected by Venturia inaequalis. Leaves were sampled from May to September 2005 and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Hydroxycinnamic acids detected were chlorogenic, caffeic, ferulic and pcoumaric. In addition, the presence was ascertained of the dihydrochalcone phloridzin...

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the anti-oxidant properties in methanolic extract of Leaves and fruit of cucumies melo () The methanol leaf extract noticed significant scavenging activity on DPPH, superoxide, nitric oxide , hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. The total phenolic compounds were found to be high with leaves rather than the flesh of fruit.

Using HPLC, the seasonal changes in the phenolic compound content of the leaves of the Gemlik olive cultivar (Olea europaea L) has been investigated with respect to the effects on the alternate bearing of the cultivar. For this purpose, the leaf concentrations of oleuropein, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, scopolin and pcoumaric acid were analyzed at 10 day intervals aro...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibition properties of stems and leaves of hexane and methanolic extracts of Pluchea indica. Methanolic extract of leaves showed the highest antioxidant activity (IC50= 24.45 ± 0.34 μg/ml) and total phenolic contents (573.52 ± 6.2 mg GAE/100 g crude extract), in DPPH radical scavenging and Folin-Ciocalteu assays re...

from methanolic extract of aerial parts of peucedanum ruthenicum m. bieb (apiaceae) collected from mazandaran province of iran, four flavonoids namely isorhamnetin 3-0-rutinoside 1, rutin 2, quercetin 3, morin 4 and two phenolic acids namely caffeic acid 5 and p-coumaric acid 6 have been isolated by paper chromatography (pc) and crystallization. their structures were elucidated by ms, 1h, 13c n...
