this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

This study aimed to determine total antioxidant and antioxidant activity of selected local varieties of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Five varieties (iceberg, butterhead, romaine, green coral and red coral) were subjected to DPPH radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP) assays for determination of antioxidant activity. Total phenolic content and total flavon...

Three native Turkish medicinal and aromatic plants (Artemisia absinthum, Artemisia santonicum and Saponaria officinalis) were investigated to analyze their antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity. Their total antioxidant activity was determined by using a β-carotene bleaching assay and their antimicrobial activity was determined by utilizing an agar disc diffusio...
