introduction Oxidation processes are among the chief reasons behind the deterioration of product life and quality during storage and application. It should be emphasized that oxidation is not only responsible for quality deterioration of products but also affect human organism, triggering a number of illnesses and increasing the rate of aging. In order to eliminate or reduce the oxidation rates...

The suggestion that compounds known to inhibit copper catalysis might exert an inhibiting effect upon photosynthesis and respiration in green plants arose primarily from the following considerations: (a) The aerobic oxidation of ascorbic acid is very sensitive to catalysis by copper-protein complexes in a great variety of plant press-juices (I). (b) Both copper (2) and ascorbic acid (3) are fou...

PURPOSE Alterations in the redox state during chronic ethanol consumption are associated with the oxidation of ethanol via alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Among various antioxidants present in food, strong antioxidative effects have been attributed to polyphenols of green tea. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of green tea consumption during chronic ethanol intake o...

Background: The current study tried to investigate the antioxidant and anti-bacterial effects of green tea and grape seed extract (with a volume of 2%) on durability of Tilapia packed inpolyethylene bags, which were kept in cool temperature of 4 ± 1 °C. Methods: Prepared fish were divided into 3 batches: 2 batches were treated by dipping for 30 min in ethanolic of green tea extract (...

Description and Constituents Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world today, second only to water, and its medicinal properties have been widely explored. The tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is a member of the Theaceae family, and black, oolong, and green tea are produced from its leaves. It is an evergreen shrub or tree and can grow to heights of 30 feet, but is usually prun...

The quantum efficiency of photosynthesis by the green sulfur bacterium, Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum, has been determined in systems in which thiosulfate, tetrathionate, and molecular hydrogen served as electron donors. It was found that about 10 +/- 1 quanta are used for the assimilation of 1 molecule of CO(2), and that the quantum number is independent of the nature of the electron donor. The...

After water, tea is the world’s most widely consumed beverage. Tea is enjoyed by many people for its cooling and slightly bitter flavor and is known to have many particular health benefits [1-3]. There are several types of tea according to its fermentation processes such as black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and green tea [4,5]. Green tea is, like many another type in general and gree...

We report on a rapid, green, and cost-effective fabrication of nickel(-iron) oxyhydroxides by drop-coating reconstructing water-soluble nitrate precursors, their application for the OER oxidation 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
