26 The effect of liquid (LSF) and solid state fermentation (SSF) of lentils for production 27 of water-soluble fractions with antioxidant and antihypertensive properties was 28 studied. LSF was performed either spontaneously (NF) or by Lactobacillus plantarum 29 (LP) while SSF was performed by Bacillus subtilis (BS). Native lactic flora in NF 30 adapted better than L. plantarum to fermentative ...

Background: The oxidation of unsaturated lipids by free radicals is one of the main causes of food deterioration. The major purpose of the present study was to determine effectiveness of application of honey in order to reduce oxidation in soybean oil. Methods: Six groups were designed, including control (soybean oil emulsion without preservative), positive control (butylated hydroxyl toluene ...

Artemisia judaica L. (Asteraceae) is a perennial fragrant small shrub widely growing in desert and coast of Egypt. Microscopical features of the leaves were characterized by the presence of non glandular T-shaped trichomes beside the tube like secretory duct responsible for oil production and storage. Phenolic and flavonoid contents were estimated using colorimetric assays where ethyl acetate h...

The Jamblang flower is a part of the plant that rarely gets attention in process exploring its properties. quite rich antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants help protect body's cells from oxidative damage and can prevent various degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, premature aging. This study aimed to carry out systematic review regarding potential flowers (Syzygium cumini) medicin...

ABSTRCTA simple and efficient technique for quantitative solvent-free synthesis of Ni (II) Co complexes by using ball milling as a green strategy is studied. The isolated solid compounds will be characterized micro-analytical, thermo-gravimetric, magnetic spectroscopic studies. Theoretical studies were carried out applying DFT theory to predict the optimized configuration all complexes. Moreove...

The oxidation of guanosine to 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in DNA is closely associated with induction of various diseases, but the endogenous oxidant species involved remains unclear. Hydrogen peroxides (H2O2) have been considered to be the oxidant, while lipid peroxides are another possible oxidant because generated easily in bio-membranes surrounding DNA. The oxidant potency was compar...

8-Aminoquinoline (8AQ) derivatives have been reported to have antimalarial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. This study investigated the potency of 8AQ-5-substituted (iodo and nitro) uracils metal (Mn, Cu, Ni) complexes (1-6) as antimalarial and antimicrobial agents. Interestingly, all of these metal complexes (1-6) showed fair antimalarial activities. Moreover, Cu complexes 2 (8AQ-Cu-5I...

Vitamin E, like tocotrienols and tocopherols, is constituted of compounds essential for animal cells. Vitamin E is exclusively synthesized by photosynthetic eukaryotes and other oxygenic photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria. In order to prevent lipid oxidation, the plants mainly accumulate tocochromanols in oily seeds and fruits or in young tissues undergoing active cell divisions. Fr...

Selected natural polyphenols, including ferulic acid (FA) and hesperetin (Hp) were tested for their antiradical activity using the stable radical DPPH•, as a first step to rank them according to their potency. Ranking also included quercetin (Qt), a very well-studied natural, polyphenolic antioxidant, and ascorbic acid (AA). All phenolics considered were also tested in binary mixtures with AA, ...
