Carpolobia lutea leaves (CLL) (Polygalaceae) were earlier screened and the antiulcer ethnomedicinal claim established. This article seeks to quantitatively isolate, elucidate the active compounds from most active CLL fraction. Fractionation was by semi-preparative HPLC; the active fraction was subjected to radical scavenging assays (RSA) and quantification of the total phenolic content (TPC) we...

The aim of research was to determine polyphenols bioaccessibility and antioxidant properties thermally-treated skimmed goat milk enriched with sunflower bee-collected pollen through in vitro digestion. HPLC analysis confirmed that pollen-enriched contained flavonols as the main phenolic fraction (80.7–76.2%) followed by acids (14.2–17.4%). Among individual compounds quercetin-3-O-glucoside (155...

Date palm seed oil is among the precious vegetable oils with low yield, whose extraction commonly done organic solvents which cause serious problems. This study aims to assess effectiveness of orange peel essential as biosolvent for date extraction. Green was conducted by Soxhlet apparatus well soaking and compared method using petroleum ether. The GC-MS analysis confirmed its richness limonene...

This study aims to evaluate the pomological and physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant activity phenolic profile of three cultivars hawthorn. A total nine compounds were identified in C. orientalis subsp. fruits by using RP-HPLC-DAD system. These comprised acids (i.e., gallic, chlorogenic, caffeic, syringic p-coumaric acids) flavonoids catechin, epicatechin, rutin procyanidin-B2). The maj...

Lignans are mainly dimers of 4-hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs) and reduced analogs thereof which are produced in Nature through phenol oxidative coupling (POC) as the primary C-C or C-O bond-forming reaction under the action of the enzymes peroxidases and laccases. They present a large structural variety and particularly interesting biological activities, therefore, significant efforts has been de...

The ability of the ruminal anaerobic phycomycete Neocallimastix patriciarum to digest model lignin compounds and lignified structures in plant material was studied in batch culture. The fungus did not degrade or transform model lignin compounds that were representative of the predominant intermonomer linkages in lignin, nor did it solubilize acid detergent lignin that had been isolated from spe...

cDNA encoding an extracellular carbohydrate esterase (CcEst1) was cloned from the basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea. The recombinant CcEst1 expressed in Pichia pastoris acted on p-nitrophenyl acetate, alpha-naphthyl acetate, and methyl hydroxycinnamic acids, except for methyl sinapic acid. The enzyme released ferulic and acetic acids from wheat arabinoxylan and acetylated xylan respectively. Ac...

dorema aucheri boiss. (apiaceae) is an endemic plant growing in iran. this plant is used as food and its extracts are recommended for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. to conduct this study, leaf, stem, and flower of d. aucheri were collected from near yasouje, iran. antioxidant and antimicrobialeffects of methanol extracts were measured. further, total phenolic,flavonoid, anthocyanin,...
