Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healthcare known to humanity. Recently, much attention is being directed toward the use of antioxidants. There are some very commonly used Ayurvedic preparations that might have inbuilt antioxidant activity, and their therapeutic potential can be partially attributable to its antioxidant activity. Hence, it was proposed to find out antioxidant activity of s...

In the present study, antioxidant potential of the methanol extract of the leaves of Mimusops elengi Linn. was evaluated by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity. The extract showed significant activities in all antioxidant assays compared to the reference antioxidant ascorbic acid in a dose dependent manner. In DPPH scavengi...

in order to optimization of protein hydrolysis condition (including enzyme to substrate ratio (e/s), temperature and time) for achieving the highest antioxidant activity, the green tiger prawn (p. semisulcatus) mince was tested via commercial protease (alcalase® 2.4l) based on the response surface designed method in 18 treatments and then dried to obtain powder in freeze dryer. the antioxidant ...

butyl-hydroxytoluene (bht) is one of the major synthetic antioxidants with a wide range usage. replacement of artificial antioxidants with natural antioxidants is highly considered. in this research, the antioxidant activity of juniperus excelsa was investigated by using reducing power, dpph radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. also, the amounts of phenolic and flavonoid com...

The antioxidant activity of two plants - Hadjod i.e. Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) and Hingot i.e. Balanites aegyptiaca (BA) was determined by the thiocyanate method. The antioxidant activity of both the plants increased with increasing amount of extract (200 g-1000 g) added to the linoleic emulsion. The ethanolic extract of CQ was more effective than the other. Like antioxidant activity, the redu...

background there is an interest in finding new and safe antioxidants from natural sources such as medicinal plants. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ten iranian medicinal plants extracts. materials and methods for antioxidant activity, the radical scavenging activity, reducing power and phenolic contents of ethanol plant extracts were determined. gall...

Purpose: To investigate the total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant power and cytotoxic activity of ethanol extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP). Methods: The total polyphenolic and flavonoid contents of EEP were determined by spectrometric methods. Antioxidant power and cytotoxic activity of EEP were evaluated using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and MTT assays, respecti...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is one of the most sensitive agricultural crops after harvesting and its antioxidant properties tend to decrease during post-harvest storage with the passage of time. objectives: the possible role of exogenous application of malic acid as dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced white button mushroom dur...

chaetomorpha sp is one of the persian gulf green algae which can be a marine source of natural antioxidants such as polyphenols. industrial and economic development of these materials is influenced by effective extraction and application methods. microwave-assisted extraction (mae) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (uae) are novel techniques which have a potential to apply in laboratory with a...
