Two phenolic compound parameters (total phenolic and flavonoid contents) and 5 antioxidant parameters (DPPH [2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl] radical scavenging activity, HRSC (hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity), FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), CUPRAC (cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity), and MCA (metal chelating activity) were measured in bulbs and bolts of 43 garlic cult...

This is the first report from India on a beverage resulting from alcoholic fermentation of the juice of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L) using lab isolated yeast strain. The health promoting potential of the product was evaluated based on its total phenolic content. The most important finding was that under the present fermentation condition, the total phenolic content of the wine product...

Acalypha indica, a known medicinal plant in the treatment of various degenerative diseases and a potential source of valuable bioactives. The present study investigates the total phenolic and flavonoid content and also screen for phytocompounds in A. indica leaf extract obtained by two extraction methods, comparatively. Results indicated that the maceration extraction method (MEM) had highest t...

Pomegranate and pomegranate juices (PJs) have taken great attention for their health benefits in the last years. As there is an increasing concern about potential health benefits of ellagic acid, it is of great interest to evaluate alterations in ellagic acid concentration of commercial PJs. The purpose of this study is to analyze total phenolic, free and total ellagic acid content of six comme...

Total phenolic contents, antioxidant activity and chemical composition of propolis samples from three localities of Minas Gerais state (southeast Brazil) were determined. Total phenolic contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteau method, antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH, using BHT as reference, and chemical composition was analyzed by GC/MS. Propolis from Itapecerica and Paula Câ...

BACKGROUND Exogenous pretreatment of oxidative stress on callus cultures of Bellis perennis L. (common daisy) induced catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total phenolic, total flavonoid, total protein and selected commercial phenolic compounds production and accumulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The callus culture obtained from B. perennis pedicel explants was incubated on Murashige and...

plant tissue culture technique could provide sterile and controllable condition in order to assay direct effect of different compounds on plant growth accurately. in this study, the effects of aqueous extracts prepared from roots and shoots of goosefoot (chenopodium album l.), redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), and wormwood (artemisia absinthium l.) were e...
