based on the valuable antioxidant activity of citrus fruits, in present study the effect of ‎rootstock and the type of tissue on some fruit quality parameters including phenol, ‎flavonoid, antioxidant and the content of hesperidin and naringin of orange and mandarin ‎was studied. the experiment was conducted as a factorial design based on complete ‎randomized blocks with four replications. resu...

In this study, the performance of an aerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was assessed for the removal of phenol as the sole substrate from saline wastewater. The effect of several parameters namely inlet phenol concentration (200-1200 mg/L), hydraulic retention time (8-24 h), inlet salt content (10-70 g/L), phenol shock loading, hydraulic shock loading and salt shock loading on the perfor...

Water solutions of extracts were investigated for total phenol content, flavonoid content and antioxidant activity. Susceptibility to degradation of water solutions of plant extracts, under light and in the dark, during storage at room temperature was investigated in order to determine their stability prior to their application for fortification of food products. Large dispersion of total pheno...

Thirty eight bottles of red wine (Carbanet Sauvignon) were randomly selected based on vintage, region, price, and age (number of months in a barrel). The total phenolic content of each wine was determined using Folin-Ciocalteau assay. The radical scavenging activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Apart from a few bottles that exhibited above average radical scave...

Background: Estimating (poly)phenol intake is challenging due to inadequate dietary assessment tools and limited food content data. Currently, a priori diet scores characterise (poly)phenol-rich diets are lacking. This study...

twenty spices were employed to preserve the cooked and uncooked fillet of puntius sarana (hamilton) and puntius ticto (hamilton). ic50 values of 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(dpph) based free radical scavenging activity ranged from 0.1123 μg ml-1 in turmeric to 13.035 μg ml-1 in roman coriander. phenol content ranged from 0.365 μg g-1 in onion to 5.67 μg g-1 in clove. the raw and cooked fillet...

Few literature data are available on the nutraceutical properties of little widespread local apple cultivars. Such lack of information prevents exploitation of these germplasms for genetic improvement of new cultivars and for the re-evaluation of local agricultural products, which may attract a large share of consumers oriented towards natural food evoking ancient flavours. In this work eight t...

In cells of Rhodococcus opacus GM-14, GM-29, and 1CP, the contents of branched (10-methyl) fatty acids increased from 3% to 15 to 34% of the total fatty acids when the cells were grown on benzene, phenol, 4-chlorophenol, chlorobenzene, or toluene as the sole source of carbon and energy, in comparison with cells grown on fructose. In addition, the content of trans-hexadecenoic acid increased fro...
