objective: determination and comparison of the effect of infusion time on the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol contents of bagged and loosely packed black teas. materials and methods: for twenty loosely packed and eleven bagged tea samples, the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content were analyzed using frap and folin-ciocalteau methods, respectively. the anova with tukey pos...

lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...

background scrophularia striata (scrophulariaceae family) is an herbaceous plant that is traditionally used for treatment of microbial infections. objectives antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different extracts (methanolic, ethanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate) from s. striata aerial parts was evaluated. materials and methods the antimicrobial activity of different extracts from s. stri...

the objective of this study was to produce fish protein hydrolysate (fph) with the most antioxidant activity, by enzymatic hydrolysis from (carassius carassius). the protein of crucian carp a low value fish was hydrolyzed by alcalase 2.4l and the optimal hydrolysis parameters of strongest antioxidant capacity of peptides were obtained using response surface methodology (rsm) by the central rota...

introduction: increasing of food-related diseases has led to the perception of diet importance. plant-derived products (especially tea) as important sources of antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds play a major role in reducing food pathogens. in this study, total phenolic content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of four tea extracts including green tea, white, black and red teas were ...

Olive leaves are an agricultural waste of the olive-oil industry representing up to 10% of the dry weight arriving at olive mills. Disposal of this waste adds additional expense to farmers. Olive leaves have been shown to have a high concentration of phenolic compounds. In an attempt to utilize this waste product for phenolic compounds, we optimized their extraction using water-a "green" extrac...

Purpurone was isolated from the sponge Iotrochota sp. by bioactivity-guided fractionation. The compound showed antioxidant activity using the DPPH assay. The structure was established on the basis of NMR data and comparison with data reported.

Background and objectives: The Mullein genus is the largest genus of Scrophulariaceae family which has extensive natural habitat in southwest of Iran. Mullein contains compounds such as phenolic compounds, mucilage, saponins and anthocyanin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity of mullein ecotypes in Iran. Methods: <...
