The popularity of fruit tea is increasing in the world because of its antioxidant properties and attractive taste. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the antioxidant property and phenolic composition of 16 different fruit teas. The antioxidant property and total phenol content of fruit teas depending on the extraction condition (water temperature) were examined using the ABTS (2...

Leaf morphology is closely related to the growth and development of maize (Zea mays L.) plants and final kernel production. As an important part of the maize leaf, the midrib holds leaf blades in the aerial position for maximum sunlight capture. Leaf midribs of adult plants contain substantial sclerenchyma cells with heavily thickened and lignified secondary walls and have a high amount of phen...

Oxidative coupling reaction of phenol mediated by birnessite was studied in aqueous phase and soil. Phenol was readily transformed by birnessite and almost all phenol disappeared in both samples after 24 hours of reaction. Phenol transformation kinetics was investigated by plotting reaction time against logarithm concentrations of residual phenol, revealing that exponential decrease of phenol w...

The carbon quantum dot (CQD) paper-based analytical device (PAD) has drawn great attention and is being intensively explored. However, the construction of a continuous flow CQD synthesis remains challenging. In this work, reaction apparatus was constructed to synthesize nitrogen-doped CQDs using mixed-solvent system tetraethylene glycol water. optical properties were characterized. found be que...

Existing epidemiological evidence regarding the potential role of (poly)phenol intake in prostate cancer (PCa) risk is scarce and, case flavonoids, it has been suggested that their may increase PCa risk. We investigated associations between total and individual classes subclasses (poly)phenols PCa, including clinically relevant subtypes. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrit...

the different factors such as harvest time, product handling, temperature and storage duration can be influenced on the different properties of citrus fruits and has considerable economic consequences. therefore a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was performed to evaluate the effects of harvest times (start of color change, 50% of color change and f...
