The entrapped pomegranate extract or collagen hydrolysate increased, respectively, the ferric ion reducing power ACE-inhibitory effect of gels after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

The growing interest on the replacement of synthetic antioxidants with natural ones has directed many research toward the plant-derived raw materials. The special attention is focused on inexpensive or residual sources from food agricultural industries. Fruit peels are valuable wastes obtained from domestic and industrial sources. The potential of fruit wastes as sources of natural antioxidants...

the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of methanol and acetone extracts of three marine algae, including hypnea hamulosa, gracilaria corticata and enteromorpha intestinalis wereinvestigated.antioxidant activities were determined by means of total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, dpph radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. antibacterial activity w...

Antioxidant capacities of 56 selected Chinese medicinal plants were evaluated using the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, and their total phenolic content was measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The strong correlation between TEAC value and FRAP value suggested that the antioxidants in these plants possess free radical scaveng...

Plants from Gynura family was used in this study, namely, Gynura procumbens and Gynura bicolor. Gynura procumbens is well known for its various medicinal properties such as antihyperglycaemic, antihyperlipidaemic, and antiulcerogenic; meanwhile, G. bicolor remains unexploited. Several nonenzymatic antioxidants methods were utilized to study the antioxidant capacity, which include ferric reducin...

the essential oils and aromatic water, known as arak in traditional iranian medicine, comes from the aerial part of teucrium persicum boiss., which is grown in fars province located in iran. the samples were collected in summer and the oils and aromatic water were obtained through steam distillation. the chemical composition of the oils was analyzed using gc-ms. an analysis of the chemical prof...

INTRODUCTION. Oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney failure, particularly in hemodialysis patients, has been suggested to have a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We evaluated omega-3 fatty acids supplementation effects on oxidative and antioxidant factors in hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS. In a clinical trial, patients on hemodialysis were divided into...

BACKGROUND Seaweeds are taxonomically diverse benthic algae, which are rich in bioactive compounds. These compounds have a potential application in medicine. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the bioactive properties of three seaweed samples, Enteromorpha antenna, Enteromorpha linza and Gracilaria corticata were collected from the shoreline of Mahabalipuram, Tamilnadu.
