BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Red grape seeds as functional food are a good source of important bioactive components such as phenolics and antioxidants, which decrease oxidative stress that contributes to the pathogenesis of hepatotoxicity. The current study was conducted in order to evaluate the protective effect of red grape dried seeds (RGDS) on antioxidant properties, lipid metabolism, and liver an...

The efficient extraction of phenols from grapes is an important step for their reliable quantification. aim was to optimise the lyophilisation process and grape skins seeds. phenol yield lyophilised tissues investigated with different accelerated solvent (ASE) operating conditions. Skins seeds were separated frozen berries without being ground. weight loss during followed daily. Phenols extract...

In an attempt to determine the antioxidant/prooxidant, antibacterial/probacterial action of flavan-3-ols and procyanidins from grape seeds, pure catechin (CS), and an aqueous grape seed extract (PE), were applied in the absence and presence of pure lipoxygenase (LS) or in extract (LE) to leucocyte culture, Escherichia coli B 41 and Brevibacterium linens, and observed whether there was any effec...
