butyl-hydroxytoluene (bht) is one of the major synthetic antioxidants with a wide range usage. replacement of artificial antioxidants with natural antioxidants is highly considered. in this research, the antioxidant activity of juniperus excelsa was investigated by using reducing power, dpph radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. also, the amounts of phenolic and flavonoid com...

objectives: sweet peppers capsicum annuum l. (c. annuum) are an excellent source of vitamins a and c as well as phenolic compounds, which are important antioxidant components that may reduce the risk of diseases. the objective of this study was to evaluate their antioxidant activity under various temperatures. materials and methods: to compare the antioxidant activity in various temperatures (2...

This study evaluated the proximate composition, and content of phenolic flavonoid compounds as well potential antioxidant property saba (Musa acuminata x balbisiana Colla) banana blossoms. The blossom was dried at 60 ℃ for 12 hours. sample then extracted using 80% ethanol. ethanolic extract subjected to various characterization, including following: i) nutritional values powder, which analyzed ...

Since Elodea nuttallii (Planch.) St. John was introduced to Europe from North America in 1939 it has invaded many water bodies and is widely spread over the continent. Its success is usually related to ease of adaptation to several environmental factors (DENDÈNE et al. 1993, JONES et al. 1993, OZIMEK et al. 1993, SIMPSON 1990). Our research, however, indicates that chemical defenses may play an...

phenolic compounds including flavonoids and phenolic acids are plants secondary metabolites. due to their ability to act as antioxidant agents, there is a growing interest to use those components in traditional medicine for cancer prevention or treatment. the aim of this study was to measure the amounts of total phenolics and flavonoids as well as anti-proliferative effect of aqueous extract of...

chamomile ( matricaria chamomilla l.) is a widely used medicinal plant possessing several pharmacological effects due to presence of active compounds. this study describes a method of using ultra performance liquid chromatography (uplc) coupled with photodiode array (pda) detector for the separation of phenolic compounds in m. chamomilla and its crude extracts. separation was conducted on c 18 ...

Increased consumption of vegetables or plant food has been associated with decreased risk of developing major chronic diseases, such as cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related functional decline. Ramie leaves are rich in phenolics and flavonoids, which have been suggested for human health benefits. Phenolic contents, flavonoid contents, phenolic compounds, and anti-cancer pr...

BACKGROUND Murraya exotica L., a member of family Rutaceae is rich in biologically active secondary metabolites and also known for its ethnobotanical importance. With this in mind, the plant was chosen and leaves were extracted sequentially to obtain ethanol, hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and aqueous fractions. The extract/fractions were evaluated for total phenolic and flavonoid...
