Physiochemical and Microbiological Changes of the Fermented Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) ) Extracts with Raw Sugar

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale and T mongolicum)

Common Names The English name dandelion is a corruption of the French dent de leon, meaning “lion’s tooth.” The herb is similarly named in many Indo-European tongues, also being called “lion’s tooth” in German (Löwenzahn) and Spanish (diente de leon). The name refers to the toothed margins of the leaves. In both modern French and English, the name for dandelion reflects its diuretic nature—bein...

Biologically Active Substances and in Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Different Extracts from Dandelion (taraxacum Officinale) Roots

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale L. Weber ex F.H. Wigg.) roots were traditionally used in folk medicine worldwide due to its antidiabetic, choleretic, antirheumatic and diuretic properties. The aim of the current study was to determinate the biologically active substances in 95% ethanol and subsequent water extracts from dandelion roots and to evaluate their antioxidant activities. The carbohydr...

Antioxidant properties and quantitative UPLC-MS/MS analysis of phenolic compounds in dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) root extracts

Prolonged exposure to metabolically derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause an imbalance between radical species and in vivo physiological antioxidant defences. As a result, ROS have the potential to bind and irreversibly oxidise nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and DNA.1 Failure to repair or remove these oxidised molecules may lead to cellular dysfunction and mutation, wh...

Hypolipidemic and Antioxidant Effects of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Root and Leaf on Cholesterol-Fed Rabbits

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), an oriental herbal medicine, has been shown to favorably affect choleretic, antirheumatic and diuretin properties. Recent reports have indicated that excessive oxidative stress contributes to the development of atherosclerosis-linked metabolic syndrome. The objective of this current study was to investigate the possible hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects o...
