Characterization Of Antioxidants And Antioxidative Properties Of Various Unifloral Honeys Procured From West Bengal, India
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study deals with the investigation of erstwhile undocumented fifty four samples of West Bengal honey from ten different floral origins sesame (Sesamum indicum), hizal (Barringtonia acutangula), mustard (Brassica spp.), drumstick (Moringa oleifera), litchi (Litchi chinensis), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), karanza (Pongamia glabra), khalsi (Aegiceras corniculatum), goran (Ceriops decandra) and bain (Avicennia officinalis) for its quantification and comparison of antioxidative capacity by chemometrics. The average total polyphenol and flavonoid content of honeys varied from 9.9 ± 0.6 (bain) to 44.7 ± 2 mg (hizal) gallic acid equivalent and 5.12 ± 0.23 (drumstick) to 19.4 ± 1.38 (bain) mg of quercetin per 100 g respectively. Dark brown hizal honey with ABS450 value of 2055.6 mAU exhibited the most potent DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenger (IC50 = 23.92 ± 1.12 mg/mL) and a FRAP (ferric reducing ability of plasma) value of 381 ± 1.9μM Fe (II).

The present study characterized Argulus spp. infecting the cultured carps using 18S rRNA gene sequences, estimated the genetic similarity among Argulus spp. and established their phylogenetic relationship. Of the 320 fish samples screened, 34 fish (10.6%) had Argulus infection. The parasitic frequency index (PFI) was observed to be high (20%) in Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and Labeo bata. The f...

The present study was conducted to detect the occurrence, serotype, genotype, phylogenetic relationship and antimicrobial resistance pattern of STEC from healthy goats of West Bengal, India. From the 125 faecal samples collected from healthy goats, 245 isolates were identified as Escherichia coli. The E. coli harbouring any gene for Shiga toxins (stx1/stx2) was detected in 36 (14.7%) of the 245...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a Pb, Cu and antibiotic resistant bacteria from soil of industrial wastewater ground
Industrial effluents consist many pollutant and heavy metals. Bacteria isolated from industrial west water ground may have potential to tolerate heavy metal. In this study we isolate a Citrobacter sp. which can resist heavy metal like Cu and Pb. Slurry from industrial west water ground was collected from 22.0663 N, 88.1041 E. The heavy metal content and other parameters of soil were estimated. ...

Myxosporean taxonomy which is traditionally based on the morphology of the myxospore stage, is in a state of flux given new insights provided by the expanding dataset of DNA sequences. To date, more than 40 species of Thelohanellus from India have been described according to morphometric characteristics. Nevertheless, molecular data on these histozoic myxosporean parasites of freshwater fish ar...
