This data article is related to the research article entitled, "Antioxidant potential in non-extractable fraction of dried persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.)" (Matsumura et al., 2016) [1]. We investigated antioxidant activities of the non-extractable fraction of dried persimmon fruits in vitro and in vivo. We evaluated both extracted fraction and non-extractable fraction, and reported that non-e...

We evaluated the antioxidant properties of four main flavones from Scutellaria baicalensis: baicalein, wogonin and their glucuronides - baicalin and wogonoside. We used three in vitro assays: free radical scavenging with 2,2'-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical, transition metal ions reducing power by phosphomolybdenum assay and inhibition of the hydroxyl radical-induced peroxidation of linoleic aci...

As plants produce a huge amount of antioxidants they can represent a source of new compounds with antioxidant activities. From this point of view, the main goal of this research was to study the antioxidant activities of the Ficus carica through the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicalscavenging method. Since DPPH assay has been largely used as a quick, reliable, and reproducible parame...

Black liquor alkaline lignin and magnesium lignosulfonate were liquefied at 320 C. The antioxidant abilities of the liquefaction products were compared with the raw materials. Results showed that the total phenol content and unit antioxidant power of both alkaline lignin liquefaction products (ALLP) and magnesium lignosulfonate liquefaction products (MLLP) were improved, and ALLP had a larger i...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND As a typical Chinese herbal medicine, rhizoma Cimicifugae (RC, in Chinese) possesses various pharmacological effects involved in antioxidant activity. However, its antioxidant activity has not been reported so far. The aim of the present study was to systematically evaluate the antioxidant ability of RC in vitro, then discuss the mechanism. METHODS Firstly, five RC ...

antioxidants have important preventive roles, not only on undesirable changes in the flavor and nutritional quality of food, but also on tissue damage in various human diseases. some of iranian plants, despite wide spread use of them as medicines in iran have been investigated for their beneficial use as an antioxidants or source of antioxidants. the present review deals with a list of such pla...

the potential of extracts prepared from seeds of three citrus species (orange, lemon and grapefruit) to stabilize lipid oxidation of cooked and raw broiler meat under refrigeration storage was evaluated and compared with butylated hydroxyl anisole (bha), a synthetic antioxidant. the citrus seed extracts were separately applied at a rate of 1.5% of the weight of the meat. there was a negative co...

abstract background: the use of antioxidants in the treatment of infertility has been suggested and recent studies have indicated that oral administration of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (skeo) to rats induces significant antioxidative effects. objective: this systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of antioxidants in infertility and also to assess the effectiveness...

In order to demonstrate whether the known biological effects of Aloe vera (L.) Burm. fil. could correlate with the antioxidant activity of the plant, the antioxidant activity of the aqueous leaf extract was investigated. The present study demonstrated that the aqueous extract from A. vera leaves contained naturally occuring antioxidant components, including total phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic a...
