objectives: leaves and flowers ofelaeagnus angustifolia contain phenolic and flavonoid compounds. these compounds have antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative damage. the aim of this study was to determine and analyze total phenolic and flavonoid content of leaves and flowers in two e. angustifolia variants using different solvents (ethanol and methanol). materials and methods:...

Abstract Whole wheat is an exceptional source of phenolic compounds representing a promising phytochemical class to prevent diet-related chronic diseases thanks its antioxidant activities. The present work reports the profile, capacity, antimicrobial activity and effect on Lactobacillus brevis growth eight whole flours obtained from four ancient modern genotypes Italian Triticum genus. Total co...

background there is an interest in finding new and safe antioxidants from natural sources such as medicinal plants. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of ten iranian medicinal plants extracts. materials and methods for antioxidant activity, the radical scavenging activity, reducing power and phenolic contents of ethanol plant extracts were determined. gall...

Halimodendron halodendron has been used as forage in northwestern China for a long time. Its young leaves and flowers are edible and favored by indigenous people. In this study, eleven phenolic compounds were bioassay-guided and isolated from the aerial parts of H. halodendron for the first time. They were identified by means of physicochemical and spectrometric analysis as quercetin (1), 3,5,7...

background kelussia odoratissima mozaff. is one of the newest genera of umbelliferae which is represented by only one species. this sweet-smelling, self-growing monotypic medicinal plant is endemic to a restricted area in west of iran and is locally called karafse-koohi. the aerial parts of the plant are commonly used as a popular garnish and a sedative medicinal plant. there are several report...

BACKGROUND Daylily flowers, the flower and bud parts of Hemerocallis citrina or H. fulva, are well known as Wang-You-Cao in Chinese, meaning forget-one's sadness plant. However, the major types of active constituents responsible for the neurological effects remain unclear. This study was to examine the protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract and fractions and to identify the active fractio...

The Mediterranean diet has been proven to be highly effective in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer and in decreasing overall mortality. Nowadays, transcriptomics is gaining particular relevance due to the existence of non-coding RNAs capable of regulating many biological processes. The present work describes a systematic review of current evidence supporting the influence of ...

This study aims to select fungi isolates reduce olive mill wastewater (OMWW) chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phenolic compounds (PC), as well their genotoxicity effect. Treatment with mold, isolated by an innovative technique using compound-selective media, showed a reduction rate of about 4% for COD 2% PC during one month incubation without optimization the treatment conditions. Whereas this ...

Tyrosol is a phenolic found in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). In Maltese monocultivar EVOO, it was present at concentration of 9.23 ppm. The HL-60 acute myeloid leukaemia cell line, which can be differentiated to both monocytes and neutrophils, exposed tyrosol this analysed for evidence differentiation effects cytotoxicity. polyphenol induced 1.93-fold increase cellular oxidative activity (p-va...

The concentration of hydroxytyrosol (3,4-DHPEA) and its secoiridoid derivatives (3,4-DHPEA-EDA and 3,4-DHPEA-EA) in virgin olive oil decreased rapidly when the oil was repeatedly used for preparing french fries in deep-fat frying operations. At the end of the first frying process (10 min at 180 degrees C), the concentration of the dihydroxyphenol components was reduced to 50-60% of the original...
