Proximate Composition, Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activities of Three Black Plum (Vitex sp.) Fruits: Preliminary Results

Antioxidant activities and phenolic content of Solamun and Capsicum sp

Fourteen Solanum cultivars (S. aculeatissimum, S. melongena, S. torvum, S. trilobatum, S. stramonifolium, S. mammosum and S. wrightii) and fourteen Capsicum cultivars (C. annuum, C. frutescens and C. minimum) cultivated in Thailand were determined their total phenolic contents in term of gallic acid (g) per 100 g of crude extract and per 100 g of dry herb powder. The total phenolic content of S...

Antioxidant Activities and Phenolic Content of Juniperus excelsa Extract

      Butyl-hydroxytoluene (BHT) is one of the major synthetic antioxidants with a wide range usage. Replacement of artificial antioxidants with natural antioxidants is highly considered. In this research, the antioxidant activity of Juniperus excelsa was investigated by using reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Also, the amounts of phenolic an...

Total Phenolic Content, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Three Verbascum Species from Iran

The genus Verbascum L. belongs to the family Scrophulariaceae and includes plants that have been used widely in traditional medicine for a long time. Methanolic extracts of three Verbascum species from flora of Iran were in vitro screened for their possible antioxidant activities by three complementary test systems, namely DPPH free radical-scavenging, metal chelating activity and β-carotene/li...

Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activities of Broussonetia papyrifera Fruits

Fruits of Broussonetia papyrifera from South China were analyzed for their total chemical composition, and antioxidant activities in ethanol and aqueous extracts. In the fruit of this plant, the crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrates was 7.08%, 3.72% and 64.73% of dry weight, respectively. The crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrates were 15.71%, 20.51% and 36.09% of dry weight, respectiv...
