Two new phenolic glucosides, hostaflavanone A (1) and anti-1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol-2-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), together with six known compounds, anti-1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol (3), phenethyl-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), phenethanol-β-d-gentiobioside (5), phenethyl-O-rutinoside (6), (1S, 3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (7), and (1R, 3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β...

Halimodendron halodendron has been used as forage in northwestern China for a long time. Its young leaves and flowers are edible and favored by indigenous people. In this study, eleven phenolic compounds were bioassay-guided and isolated from the aerial parts of H. halodendron for the first time. They were identified by means of physicochemical and spectrometric analysis as quercetin (1), 3,5,7...

The aim of this study was the evaluation of the antioxidant capacity of Cotoneaster melanocarpus Lodd. and the identification of antioxidant active constituents of this plant. C. melanocarpus Lodd. is a shrub indigenous to Mongolia and used in Traditional Mongolian Medicine as a styptic. Before extraction, the plant material was separated into three parts: young sterile shoots, older stems and ...

Oxidative stress is one of the key phenomena behind the most common types of chronic diseases. Therefore, the modulation of oxidative stress is an interesting target for acting either through prevention or as a therapeutic approach. In this work, a Portuguese variety of cherry (Saco Cherry) was processed in order to obtain a potent in vitro antioxidant phenolic-rich extract (Ch-PRE), which was ...

Apple quality was investigated in the scab-resistant 'Liberty', 'Santana', and 'Topaz' cultivars and the scab-susceptible 'Golden Delicious' cultivar. Trees subjected to the same crop load were cultivated using either an organic (ORG) or an integrated production (IP) system. Physicochemical properties, phenolic content, and sensorial quality of fruit from both systems were compared. There were ...

Diabetes is a severe chronic disease that affects 422 million adults worldwide in 2014. It was the fifth leading cause of mortality Philippines 2019. The primary death diabetic patients due to cardiovascular disease. α-Glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are known for their benefits because they prevent postprandial glucose level from increasing, which plays significant role development diseases. syn...

The present investigation has been carried out to investigate the biological role of four different types of baby-leaf salads and to study their potential as natural sources of antioxidants and antimicrobials against several isolates from important human pathogenic bacteria. Four single types of salads (green lettuce, red lettuce, rucola and watercress) and two mixtures [(1) red lettuce+green l...

The effect of cultivar and environmental variations their interaction on anthocyanin components strawberry were assessed for six cultivars grown in five locations from North to South Europe two different years. To evaluate the impact latitude- altitude-related factors, daily mean (Tmean), maximum (Tmax) minimum (Tmin) temperature global radiation accumulated 3, 5, 10 15 days before fruit sampli...

In recent years, the scientific interest and particularly economic significance of halophytic plants has been highly demanding due to medicinal nutraceutical potential its bioactive compounds. A xero-halophyte Bassia indica is deemed be a very cheap source natural entities without chemical or biological investigation. this context, new acylated flavonol tetraglycoside, kaempferol-3-O-?-d-glucop...
