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...

This data article refers to the paper "Towards green analysis of virgin olive oil phenolic compounds: extraction by a natural deep eutectic solvent and direct spectrophotometric detection" [1]. A deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on lactic acid and glucose was used as green solvent for phenolic compounds. Eight standard phenolic compounds were solubilized in the DES. Then, a set of extra virgin...

Aqueous extracts of 30 plants were investigated for their antioxidant properties using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capacity assay, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD) assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) assay. Total phenolic content was also determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Antioxidant properties and total phenolic conten...

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a tuberous root from the Andean region in the South America rich em water, fructooligosaccharides and phenolic compounds, some of which are natural antioxidants and may help prevent the deleterious action of free radicals in the body. The yacon has attracted much attention due to their potential health benefits to humans. In this study the levels of total phe...

. In this paper content of phenolic compounds from black radish (Raphanus sativus L. var niger) roots of different size were examined. Black radish grown in Serbia, with the same period of development, grouped by size into three groups: (R1) with mass of 350 15 g; (R2): 100 10 g and (R3): 35 5 g, were used. Plant extracts were prepared by using 80% (v/v) ethanol and total phenolic compounds con...

Propolis is a resinous hive product Kv bees. The versatile biological activities of propolis, such as its antibacterial, antiviral, fungicidal, anti­ ulcer, immunostimulating, hypotensive and cytosta­ tic properties, as well as its successful clinical applica­ tions [1 — 3] have created an increasing interest in its chemical composition. The last appears to be very complex — the bees collect pr...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the antioxidant activity and to identify the antioxidant components of a traditional Chinese medicine formula consisting of a combination of Shanzha (the fruit of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. var. major N.E.Br., SZ) and Danshen (the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge., DS). This medicine is extensively used to treat cardiovascular disease. METHODS...
