Biopolymer films based on apple skin powder (ASP) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were developed with the addition of apple skin extract (ASE) and tartaric acid (TA). ASP/CMC composite films were prepared by mixing CMC with ASP solution using a microfluidization technique to reduce particle size. Then, various concentrations of ASE and TA were incorporated into the film solution as an antioxid...

Daylilies (Hemerocallis disticha) are very popular for vegetarian cuisine in Taiwan and have been long used as a nutritious food and/or traditional medicine in Chinese society. Therefore, the antioxidant capacity of daylily flowers was investigated with a number of established in vitro assays. The results showed that DPPH radical scavenging activity, hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, super...

The aim of this study was to screen herbal formulation containing Tinosporia cordifolia, Moringa oleifera and Allium sativum display potent antioxidant activity in vitro order find possible sources for future novel antioxidants food pharmaceutical formulations. Data from present results revealed that act as an agent due its free radical scavenging cytoprotective activity.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important endogenous etiological agents for DNA damage, and ROS perform critical signaling functions in apoptosis, stress responses and proliferation. The correlation between a lower incidence of cancer in people who consume a diet high in naturally occurring antioxidants and the observed increased ROS in cancerous tissues suggest that antioxidants may be used ...

The antioxidant, phytochemical and nutritional properties of acetone, methanol and aqueous extracts of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum (Linn) were investigated to evaluate the therapeutic and nutritional potential of the leaves of this plant. The antioxidant of the plant extracts were assessed against 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid...

Honey clasps several medicinal and health effects as a natural food supplement. It has been established as a potential therapeutic antioxidant agent for various biodiverse ailments. Data report that it exhibits strong wound healing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, and antidiabetic effects. It also retains immunomodulatory, estrogenic regulatory, antimutagenic, anticance...

Oxidative stress is one of the most critical factors implicated in many disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer. Lunasin is a seed peptide known by its properties against cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The present study investigated the in vitro antioxidant activity of this peptide that demonstrated to be a potent scavenger of peroxyl a...

Plan and Methodology: This study evaluated antioxidant activity of Cedrela odorata stems extracts and also investigated the bioactive phytoconstituents in the bio-active extract. N-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate and methanol 80% extract were tested for free radical scavenging activity on model reaction with stable 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). Outcome: The results ...
