Antioxidant Activity among Different Parts of Aubergine (solanum Melongena L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methanolic (80%) extracts of various parts (green crown, peel and flesh) of selected varieties of round and long aubergine were explored for total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity using a number of colorimetric assays. The results showed that TPC methanolic extracts, of different parts of selected varieties of aubergine, ranged from 16.7225.00 mg GAE/100g DW. The highest amounts (22.05-25.00 mg GAE/100g DW) were obtained in round aubergine extracts and lower in long aubergine extracts (16.72-20.43 mg GAE/100g mg GAE/100g DW). Similarly, the methanolic extracts of round aubergine exhibited better inhibition of oxidation of linoleic acid (59.34-64.00 %) as compared to that of long aubergine (56.9160.56 %). The analysis of variance data showed that the difference in peroxide inhibition capacity and reducing power of different parts of aubergine was significant (p<0.05). The highest DPPH scavenging activity (70.01%) was achieved with methanolic extracts of peels of round aubergine. The present study suggests that round aubergine contained higher antioxidant components and potential as compared to the long variety. A positive correlation was observed between the phenolic component and free radical scavenging potential of methanolic extracts of different parts of aubergine suggesting its use as a bioactive functional food.

Seedlings of aubergine (Solanum melongena L.) cv. ‘Rima’ were used as scion (R) and control (non-grafted) and rootstock (self-grafted) (RR), while two hybrid tomatoes ‘Heman’ (Lycopersicon hirsutm) and ‘Primavera’ (Lycopersicon esculentum) were used as rootstocks. Grafted and non-grafted plants were grown in the greenhouse and in the open-field. Grafted plants Rima and Heman (RH) were more vigo...

Prognosis of melanoma patients with metastatic disease is very poor. For example, over 95% of melanoma patients with three or more sites of metastatic disease die within 1 year. Treatment failure usually occurs because the drugs used for the treatment of these patients have a low capacity to kill melanoma cells selectively. By using human UACC-62 melanoma cells and human VH-10 skin non-malignan...
