peppermint (mentha piperita l.), a herbaceous and perennial species whichis produced mainly for the medicine and food. the peppermint plants were initiated from 10 cm-long rhizome cuttings followed by transferring into pots. the 48 h-treated plants with methyl jasmonate (mj) concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5 mm) were assessed for their total soluble proteins, malondialdehyde (mda), chlorophylls a, b ...

Aim of this paper is to find out the relationship between antioxidant activity of Abutilon indicum Linn and their phytochemical composition especially phenols and flavonols. Successive extractions were carried out for the Abutilon indicum plant with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, ethanol and water. All these extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant activities. Their...

natural antioxidants have an important role against damage by ros. this research had been carried out about ecological characters, phytochemical and antioxidant activity of capparis spinosa l. in semnan and golestan province. so in much field observation, different parts of c.spinosa were collected from two natural habitats in golestan (200 m) and semnan province (2100 m) during august to septe...

Background & Aims: Sea urchin immune responses are directly exposed to potentially pathogenic microorganisms and develop defence responses mainly based on immunocytes and humoral factors contained in the coelomic fluid. In addition, the polyhydroxylated 1, 4-naphthoquinone pigments are found to possess excellent antimicrobial, antialgal and antioxidant activities. The present ...

Objective(s) Crocin bleaching assay (CBA) is a new method for determination of antioxidant capacity. In CBA, addition of hydrogen to the conjugated double bonds of crocin results in reduction of crocin and increase in the absorbance at 440 nm, which is considered as a measure of antioxidant potential. Here CBA method was set up using di-gentiobiosyl crocin or a-crocin from Iranian saffron. The...
