Freshly harvested tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) were pre-treated with 0, 50, and 100 µM prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) and then stored at 1 °C for 21 days to investigate the effect of Pro-Ca treatment on electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde (MDA), proline and total phenols contents, and activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in relation to chilling injury (CI).Treatment with Pr...

Abstract Reverse phase dispersive liquid- liquid microextraction (RP- DLLME) coupled with spectrophotometry is introduced for the detection of total phenol in the muscle tissue of fishes, such as Sphyraena genie, Otolithes ruber, Rastrelliger kangurta, Lutjanus johnii and Barbus Subquin Cunciatus. Phenols in fish tissues were extracted by ultrasonic bath and derivatization with 4- aminoant...

The levels of phytochemicals (total phenols, proanthocyanidins, gallic acid + gallotannins, ellagic acid + ellagitannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, stilbenes and phytates), fat-soluble bioactives (lipid, tocols, phytosterols, sphingolipids, carotenoids, chlorophylls and alkyl phenols) as well as natural antioxidants (nutrient and non-nutrient) present in commonly consumed twelve nuts (almond,...

Pollen analysis, total phenols content and antioxidant activity were studied for the first time in Portuguese propolis samples from Bornes and Fundão regions. Total phenols content was determined by colorimetric assay and their amount was of 329 mg/g of GAE in Bornes sample and 151 mg/g of GAE in Fundão propolis. The antioxidant capacity of propolis extracts was assessed through the scavenging ...

Potato (solanum tuberosum L. cv Katahdin) tuber discs treated with arachidonic acid become necrotic and accumulate sesquiterpenoid phytoalexins. The arachidonic acid also causes increases in both phenylalanine ammonia lyase and lignin, but no change in total alcohol-soluble phenols. Linoleic acid does not alter any of these parameters. A high concentration of nonanoic acid promotes both necrosi...

Alternaria solani was a potential leaf spot pathogen of Azadirachta indica L, was isolated from diseased Azadirachta indica L leaves from Nashik and used for the present study. Pathogen was grown on the Czapek-Dox liquid medium substituting or adding different carbon, nitrogen to study phenol production. Considerable variation in the production of total phenol was observed when different carbon...

Chikusaku-eki and Mokusaku-eki are natural resources and acidic liquid by-products of bamboo and broad leaved trees charcoal burner. These products contain more than 200 ingredients, including phenols, poly phenols and acetic acids. These by-products were tested for their fungicidal activity against sapstaining fungi. There are no studies about the antifungal activity of Chikusaku-eki and Mokus...

the purpose of this research was to prepare a floating matrix tablet containing domperidone as a model drug. polyethylene oxide (peo) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hpmc) were evaluated for matrix-forming properties. a simplex lattice design was applied to systemically optimize the drug release profile. the amounts of peo wsr 303, hpmc k15m and sodium bicarbonate were selected as independen...

boraginaceae family is known as a medicinal plant classified in dicotyledons.  it is originated from asia (middle east). the aim of this study was to evaluate ingredient between 4 species of boraginaceae family based on physiological & phytochemical traits as well as seed fatty acid contents.  4 species (e. russicum, e. italicum, e. amoenum, and b. officinalis ) were evaluated carefully. all se...
