Chlorogenic acid was identified in the foliage of Douglas-fir during the dormant season. Concentrations varied among genotypes and ranged between 75 and 390 p.p.m. in the fresh tissue.

using hplc, the seasonal changes in the phenolic compound content of the leaves ofthe gemlik olive cultivar (olea europaea l) has been investigated with respect to theeffects on the alternate bearing of the cultivar. for this purpose, the leaf concentrations ofoleuropein, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3-hydroxycinnamic acid, scopolin and pcoumaricacid were analyzed at 10 day intervals around ...

Polyphenol-rich Rutgers Scarlet Lettuce (RSL) (Lactuca sativa L.) was developed through somaclonal variation and selection in tissue culture. RSL may contain among the highest reported contents of polyphenols and antioxidants in the category of common fruits and vegetables (95.6 mg/g dry weight and 8.7 mg/g fresh weight gallic acid equivalents and 2721 µmol/g dry weight and 223 µmol/g fresh wei...

The isolation and characterization of a specific chlorogenic acid esterase is described. The enzyme activity is measured by determination of the hydrolysis product caffeic acid. The enzyme had been concentrated by means of ultrafiltration and column-chromatography. The pH- and temperature optimum were 6.5 and 45 degrees C respectively. Divalent cations were not required for the enzyme activity....

Mango (Mangifera indica L.), also called "the king of fruits", is one of the most popular fruits in tropical regions. Pulp and peel samples of mango cultivars were analyzed to estimate total phenolic, total flavonoid and total anthocyanin contents. Phenolic acids, hydrophilic peroxyl radical scavenging capacity (hydro-PSC) and oxygen radical scavenging capacity (ORAC) in vitro were also determi...

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed as well as developing countries. Hypercholesterolemia is one of the factors that have contributed in acceleration of Coronary Heart Diseases in India. It is associated with elevated lipid levels in the blood. Treatment of hypercholesterolemia is one of the major approaches towards decelerating the ath...

Chlorogenic acid, an ester of caffeic acid and quinic acid, is a major phenolic compound in coffee; daily intake in coffee drinkers is 0.5-1 g. Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid are antioxidants in vitro and might therefore contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease. However, data on the absorption of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in humans are lacking. We determined the absorpt...

The Rosa is one of the most diverse genera in plant kingdom and, particular, its fruits have been used for multiple purposes different parts world centuries. Within genus, canina and dumalis are, economically, important species dominate fruit production. In this study, some shrub traits ten ecotypes collected from rural areas Kars province, located east Anatolia region Turkey were investigated....

the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut narcissus was studied. sa (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and put (0, 150 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 108 narcissus cut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad university, jiro...
