Secondary metabolites, also known as phytochemicals, represent a large subset of plant molecules that include compounds with health-promoting effects. Indeed, a number of epidemiological studies have shown that, when taken regularly and in adequate amounts, these molecules can have long-term beneficial effects on human health, through reduction of the incidence of degenerative diseases, such as...

BACKGROUND The study on phytochemical difference between red and black goji berry is limited. METHODS Antioxidant activities and phenolic profiles in terms of total phenol content, total flavonoid contents, condensed tannin content, monomeric anthocyanin content, and total carotenoid content of red goji berry (Lycium barbarum) and black goji berry (L. ruthenicum) were compared using colorimet...

grasses are natural homogenous group of plants and belong to the gramineae family (poaceae). the value of grasses to mankind has been recognized since the dawn of human civilization and culture of cereal grasses. in the present study, leptochloa uniflora hochst (poaceae) was subjected to antioxidant and phytochemical profiles using uv-vis, ftir and hptlc. antioxidant assays were studied using d...
