Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Properties of Solvent Extracts from Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.): A Preliminary Study

Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties and Mineral Composition of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) at Different Growth Stages

The main objective of this research was to appraise the changes in mineral content and antioxidant attributes of Portulaca oleracea over different growth stages. The antioxidant activity was measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The iodine titration method was used to determine the ascorbic acid content (AAC). DPPH scavenging (IC(5...

Evaluation of Antioxidant Compounds, Antioxidant Activities, and Mineral Composition of 13 Collected Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) Accessions

The methanolic extracts of 13 accessions of purslane were analyzed for their total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and total carotenoid contents (TCC) and antioxidant activity of extracts was screened using FRAP assay and DPPH radical scavenging methods. The TPC, TFC, and TCC ranged from 0.96 ± 0.04 to 9.12 ± 0.29 mg GAE/g DW, 0.13 ± 0.04 to 1.44 ± 0.08 mg RE/g DW, and 0.5...

Vegetative Reproduction Potential of Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Effect of Nitrogen Forms on Growth, Yield and Nitrate Accumulation of Cultivated Purslane (portulaca Oleracea L.)

KAYMAK, H. C., 2013. Effect of nitrogen forms on growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca oleracea l.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 444-449 The present investigation was carried out to determine not only the most appropriate nitrogen form but also the effect of these forms on growth, yield, element content and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca ...

Biology and Control of Common Purslane (<i>Portulaca oleracea</i> L.)

Common purslane is a widely distributed summer annual weed. It can vegetatively reproduce from stem cuttings by forming adventitious roots from the cut end of the stem. Apart from large stem cuttings, it is unclear if purslane cuttings of various plant tissues differ in their ability to asexually reproduce. The objective of the study was to determine the survival and asexual reproductive capaci...
