By-products obtained from winemaking processes still contain large amounts of phenolic compounds, especially phenolic acids, flavanols, flavonols, stilbenes, and flavonoids. Enzymatic hydrolysis was used for determination and characterization of phenolic acids, flavanols, flavonols, and stilbenes. Characterization of the flavonoids was achieved using acid hydrolysis with 0.1% hydrochloric acid....

Leafs have contain wide antioxidant range which may provide prevention against radical oxygen species. The aim of this work was to measure the antioxidant capacity of 15 commercially available leaf extracts (ethanol, methanol, water) using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay. Also we evaluated total phenolic and monomeric anthoc...

Because of their antioxidative capability polyphenols and vitamins are the most important naturally occurring compounds. Several widely consumed vegetables are rich in various phenolic compounds and vitamins. In this study, such vegetables as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), eggplant (Solanum melongena), chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum), and potato (Solanum tuberosum) of the Solanaceae family were...

The aim of this study was to evaluate several cocoa sources to obtain a rich phenol extract for use as an ingredient in the food industry. Two types of phenolic extracts, complete and purified, from different cocoa sources (beans, nibs, liquor, and cocoa powder) were investigated. UPLC-MS/MS was used to identify and quantify the phenolic composition of the extracts, and the Folin-Ciocalteu and ...

Mahaleb (Prunus mahaleb L.) is an important rootstock for P. avium and P. cerasus cultivars. The present study has compared the phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts of the barks, leaves and fruits of ten selected mahaleb genotypes. The total phenolic content (5.11-131.77 mg GA g-1) in barks and the total flavonoid (54.06-180.6 mg QE g-1) and proanthocyanidin (8....

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the Folin- Ciocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl- 1- picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant pow...

conclusions further investigations are needed about favorable composition of unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoid content of leaves of s. paradoxa. in addition, due to high phenolic content of the leaves, s. paradoxa is a promising source of natural antioxidants and may play good antidiabetic activity. results the amount of total phenolic compounds was higher in leaves than roots. besides, roo...

Phenolic composition of different extracts of honeydew melon seeds and their antioxidant activity was determined for the first time. Phenolic compounds were identified using a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) method. Results showed the identification of five phenolic compounds in water extract namely gallic acid and its derivative, hydroxyb...
