strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) is a good source of natural antioxidants. fruits from eight strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) cultivars (‘kurdistan’, ‘merck’, ‘camarosa’, ‘paros’, ‘queen elisa’, ‘ventana’, ‘selva’ and ‘pajaro’) were harvested at ripen stage and analyzed for total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, vitamin c, total soluble solid and total antioxidant activity. ...

in the present study, we have reported the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of aerial parts of salvia leriifolia extracts and fractions. methanolic, n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate extracts were screened to analysis their antioxidant activities by four complementary test systems, namely dpph free radical scavenging activity (rsa), t...

green tea is prepared from the leaves of camellia sinensis. catechins of green tea are well known as natural antioxidants and have effective beneficial on the body. one of the most important processes in the extraction of catechins and producing green tea beverage is brewing process. the object of this study is to investigating the effect of brewing temperatures (60٫70 and 80˚c) and duration (5...

A successful peanut breeding to obtain genotypes with greater phenolic content requires information on type and content of phenolic compounds in parental peanut genotypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the total phenolic contents and phenolic acid profiles of 15 Valencia-type peanut genotypes both in peanut testae and testa-removed kernels (cotyledons and embryonic axes). Total pheno...

The word polyphenol is that chemical substance having more than one phenol group. Polyphenols represent a variety of compounds plant origin. have potential use in the human body. They act as antioxidants preventing oxidation other molecules by formation free radicals Most polyphenols properties reducing agents. protect cell constituents against oxidative damage. Therefore reduce risk various de...

in this study, we have examined the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of different extracts (including water, methanol, water : methanol and acetone) of nerium oleander l. grown in the north of iran by employing various in-vitro assay, i.e. dpph free radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity through the mo (vi) reduction. the extracts showed different level...
