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...

background & aim: restrictions on the use of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisole (bha) and butylated hydroxytoluene (bht) are being imposed because of their carcinogecity . experimental: in this investigation, optimization of phenolic extraction process from methanolic (80%) extract (v/v) of  flomideschema parviflorum through response surface methodology by fulin cio-calt...

BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic substrates and pulping process streams are of increasing relevance to biorefineries for second generation biofuels and biochemical production. They are known to be rich in sugars and inhibitors such as phenolic compounds, organic acids and furaldehydes. Phenolic compounds are a group of aromatic compounds known to be inhibitory to fermentative organisms. It is known t...

Glucuronidation, which may take place on the phenolic hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, is a major pathway of metabolism for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). In this study, a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method was developed to separate phenolic and acyl glucuronides of T4 and T3. The method was used to collect the phenolic glucuronide of T4 for definitive characterizati...

Indo-Malaysian tropical peat swamp forests (PSF) sequester enormous stores of carbon in the form of phenolic compounds, particularly lignin as well as tannins. These phenolic compounds are crucial for ecosystem functioning in PSF through their inter-related roles in peat formation and plant defenses. Disturbance of PSF causes destruction of the peat substrate, but the specific impact of disturb...

Article Type: Short communication Coffee is a favorite drink in the world which has been consumed for centuries. Coffee has both positive and negative effects on human health, that is why scientists need to show concern for the volume of coffee that should be consumed daily. Coffee contains phytochemicals known as phenolic acids and are influenced by temperature. This study was aimed at knowing...

objectives: leaves and flowers ofelaeagnus angustifolia contain phenolic and flavonoid compounds. these compounds have antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative damage. the aim of this study was to determine and analyze total phenolic and flavonoid content of leaves and flowers in two e. angustifolia variants using different solvents (ethanol and methanol). materials and methods:...

HPLC and gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) characterization of complex phenol-formaldehyde resins is described. Reversed-phase HPLC fingerprints the phenolic monomers, dimers and some oligomers. The molecular masses of these phenolic compounds were determined using an ion trap mass spectrometer. GPC analyzes tetrahydrofuran-soluble phenolic polymers beyond HPLC capability. The molecular mass...

Conventional carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resins are widely used to prepare carbon/carbon composites due to their high carbon yield. Property enhancement of carbon fabric/phenolic composites is possible through carbon nanomaterial dispersion in the matrix. The effect of carbon nanofiber dispersion in phenolic resins/carbon fabric composites was investigated. The dispersion efficiency in dif...
