objectives: potato (solanum tuberosum l.), as a whole food, contains high levels of vitamins and important antioxidants including phenolic acids, carotenoids and flavonoids. the objective of this study was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of three common potatoes (solanum tuberosum) cultivars in iran i.e., savalan, agria and sante. materials and methods: phenol...

This work aims to study the impact of solvent mixture (between 0 and 50% ethanol/water mixture) and temperature (between 25°C and 75°C) levels on the solid-liquid extraction of phenolic compounds (quantity and bioactivity) from apricot pomace. Results show that the mean augmentation of 1% ethanol in the range [0-12%] enhances by three times the extraction of polyphenols compared to the same aug...

The aim of this study was investigation of prevention of thermal degradation of the red currant juice anthocyanins by addition of different phenolic compounds (catechol, 4-methyl catechol, catechin, chlorogenic acid and gallic acid). Phenolic compounds were added in 50:1 and 100:1 copigment:pigment molar ratio. Red currant juice samples were heated at 30, 50, 70 and 90 °C for 1 hour. Thermal de...

the aim of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of cronaiky, roghani and mishen varieties by maceration and microwave-assisted extraction (mae) methods. our result revealed that effect of extraction method and variety was statistically significant (p<0.05) and mae-produced extracts have more total phenolics and antioxidant activity than traditional ones. the highest ph...

the present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (meja), salicylic acid (sa) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. ten treatments include: sa (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mm), meja (0.5, 1 and 2 mm), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

Background & Aims: Date palm fruit is one of the highly consumed foods with antioxidant compounds and high nutritive value in Iran. In this study, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of three varieties of date palm (Hajmohamadi, Kabkab, and Khasi) in three stages of ripening were investigated. Methods: This was a laboratory study. Palm fruits of Hajmohamadi, Kabkab, and Khasi vari...

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 ...
