antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical induced oxidative stress. a variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. in this study the antioxidant activity and radical scavenging activity of methanolic extracts of s...

This article examines the role of testing and innovation in sixteenthcentury Italian pharmacy. I argue that apothecaries were less concerned with testing drugs for efficacy or creating novel products than with reactivating an older Mediterranean pharmacological tradition and studying the materials on which it relied.

In Conceptual Spaces (Gärdenfors 2000), dimensions and their relations provide a topological representation of a concept’s constituents and their mode of combination. Consequently, as concepts are ndimensional geometrical structures, conceptual change denotes the dynamic development of these structures. Following this basic assumption, we apply conceptual spaces to the dynamics of empirical the...

recently, subcritical water extraction (swe) has been well known as a green technology for extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. in this study, subcritical water extraction, ultrasound assisted extraction (uae) and shaker solvent extraction (sse) were compared for extraction of phenolic compounds from fig (ficuscarica) pulp and skin. antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated u...

recently great afford have focused on the production of food and beverages which are rich in phenolic and antioxidant components. the epidemiology investigations have proved that the regular composition of food and beverages are richer in phenolic and antioxidant components can strongly decrease the cardiovascular disease. this was done after the preparation of components such as soymilk mixed ...
