The goal of this study was to compare the feeding rates of Balloniscus sellowii on leaves of different decomposition stages according to their phenolic and flavonoid content. Leaves from the visually most abundant plants were offered to isopods collected from the same source site. Schinus terebinthifolius,the plant species consumed at the highest rate, was used to verify feeding rates at differ...

conclusions p. spinosa ethanol extract can be used as a mouthwash for treatment of the oral infections. more clinical and toxicological studies are required for providing its efficacy. results p. spinosa ethanol extract with higher-level phenolic and flavonoid contents showed the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, in comparison with the other extracts. bacillus sp. and streptococcus...

The authors investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties of nine selected flavonoid aglycons, namely quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, apigenin, luteolin, daidzein, genistein, formononetin and biochanin A. The in vitro antioxidant power of flavonoids basically depends on their chemical structure. The concentration of those flavonoids in vegetables and fruits frequently consumed in Hungary w...

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:...

Fruits and vegetables are a great source of phytochemicals that play protective roles in many diseases. A comparative phytochemical composition Ocimum Gratissimum L. (Scent leaf) Vernonia Amygdalina Del (Bitter was carried out. The plant samples were washed thoroughly sun dried till no moisture felt then each sample blended into fine powder stored air tight container for analysis. placed soxhle...

In this present study, an environmentally friendly and rapid method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) has been reported using Ziziphus Vulgaris (ZV) unripe fruit extract under mild conditions. The synthesized silver nanoparticles have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultravio...

The variability of the flavonoid content of two populations of Z. noltii from different geographical zones, i.e., the Bay of Arcachon and the Bay of Cadiz, was evaluated. Samples were collected in spring and autumn at the two sites, and extracts were prepared by maceration in water. The phenolic content was fully characterized using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), UV and Liquid Chromatography...
