Flaxseed phenolics as natural antioxidants
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Flaxseed is a rich source of different types of phenolics such as lignans, phenolic acids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and tannins. To date, extensive investigations has been undertaken to demonstrate antioxidant potential of flaxseed phenolics. However, antioxidant potential of all the flaxseed phenolics has not been collectively discussed. Hence, the aim of this article is to highlight the various types of phenolic components reported in the flaxseed; and to conduct a review of studies on antioxidant potential of flaxseed and its phenolic components. Future research perspectives pertaining to antioxidant potential of flaxseed phenolics and their possible commercial exploitation are also briefly discussed.

Effect of solvents extraction on total phenolics and antioxidant activity of extracts from flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.).
BACKGROUND Plant origin food ingredients are the main source of very potent antioxidants. Tocopherols, the main oilseeds natural antioxidants are very potent and when implemented into cell membranes are able to scavenge large number of free radicals. Among plant antioxidants are mainly phenolics, large and diversified group of chemical compounds with different radical scavenging potential. MA...
متن کاملEnzyme-Enhanced Extraction of Phenolic Compounds and Proteins from Flaxseed Meal
Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) meal, the main byproduct of the flaxseed oil extraction process, is composed mainly of proteins, mucilage, and phenolic compounds. The extraction methods of phenolics either commonly employed the use of mixed solvents (dioxane/ethanol, water/acetone, water/methanol, and water/ethanol) or are done with the aid of alkaline, acid, or enzymatic hydrolysis. This work a...
متن کاملThe effect of silver nanoparticles on the growth and antioxidants of transgenic hairy roots in hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis, H. angustifolius)
Background: Nowadays, biotechnological methods such as transgenic hairy root culture and application of elicitors have become an attractive source for secondary metabolites production. Hyssop species (Hyssopus spp.) having active ingredients including antioxidants such as phenolics, in this plant have shown anti-mutagenic, anti-carcinogenic and antiglycemic effects. Objective: The present study...
متن کاملAntioxidant properties of phenolic compounds
The addition of synthetic antioxidants to oils and/or foods is one of the most efficient ways to prevent lipid oxidation. However, the safety of synthetic additives has been questioned stimulating the evaluation of naturally occurring compounds with antioxidative properties. Although there is no assurance of the safety of natural antioxidants, there is some comfort knowing that such antioxidant...
متن کاملThe Flaxseed-Derived Lignan Phenolic Secoisolariciresinol Diglucoside (SDG) Protects Non-Malignant Lung Cells from Radiation Damage
Plant phenolic compounds are common dietary antioxidants that possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Flaxseed (FS) has been reported to be radioprotective in murine models of oxidative lung damage. Flaxseed's protective properties are attributed to its main biphenolic lignan, secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). SDG is a free radical scavenger, shown in cell free systems to pr...
