Introduction: In most ancient cultures, honey has been used for both nutritional and medical purposes. Objectives: this research, phenolic extracts of four Iranian honeys were evaluated to determine the antioxidant potentials using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging reducing power by ferric activity plasma (FRAP) method. Additionally, anti-diab...

The objective was to test ultrasound treatments on spinach leaves during extraction, and conventional extraction was used as a control. The effects of different combinations of the ultrasonic water bath factors tested on phenolic compound yields included frequency (37 and 80 kHz), exposure time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min), temperature (30, 40, and 50°C), and ultrasonic power (30%, 50%, and ...

Adenocarpus complicatus is distributed throughout the Anatolian peninsula and is widely used for human and animal nutrition. The purpose of this work was to study the antioxidant properties and fatty acid composition of different parts of this plant (fruits and mixed materials). The species was collected from Golyuzu village of the Seydisehir district near Konya province, Turkey. Fruit and mixe...

Purpose: To investigate the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of the fruit and fruit waste (residue and marc) extracts of Antidesma thwaitesianum Müll. Arg., known as mamao in Thai, using chemical and cell-based assays. Methods: The cytotoxicity of mamao fruit and fruit waste extracts obtained by expression, maceration and decoction against a panel of six human cancer cell lines (COR-L23, A5...

objective: this study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, phytochemical studies and thin layer chromatography analysis of machine oil, hexane extract of seed oil and methanol extract of presscake& latex of jatropha curcas linn (family euphorbiaceae). materials and methods: j. curcas extracts were subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening to detect the major phytochem...

Sorghum is one of the staple food crops in Tigray, northern Ethiopia. Despite this, limited research attention was given to nutritional and antinutritional profiling sorghum. Thus, this initiated profile evaluate variabilities protein, starch, minerals, flavonoid, tannin, antioxidant activities among sorghum landraces Protein starch were analyzed using an infrared spectrophotometer, whereas min...

the aim of the present study was to compare three reducing sugars (d-glucose, d-arabinose, d-mannose) with respect to the antioxidative activity characteristics of their caramelisation products (cps) prepared by monitoring uv-absorbance, browning intensity, ferric ion reducing capacity, fe2+ ion chelating activity as well as dpph radical scavenging activity. moreover, the effect of cps from d-g...

Formulations of tomato puree with grape skin fibres (Chardonnay variety) having varying particle sizes were studied. The contents of flavonoids (by HPLC-DAD) and proanthocyanidins (n-butanol/HCl assay), reducing capacity (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power, FRAP) and anti-glycation activity by a bovine serum albumin (BSA)/fructose model system were analysed in vitro. A liking test was perfor...
