Juice prepared from lemon (Eureka), mandarin (Kinnow) and orange (Orlando) fruits cultivated in Saudi Arabia were analyzed for different physico-chemical properties, total phenolics, ascorbic acid and antiradical activities. Juices from lemon, mandarin and orange 8.97, 16.1 and 11.78% total soluble solids; 5.73, 1.37 and 1.69% titrable acidity; 79.21, 91.18 and 107.37 mg GAE/100mL total phenoli...

investigation into total phenolics and their spectrum in the buds and corms of saffron crocus and a study of polyphenol oxidase changes in the apical bud during different stages of growth and development showed that changes in the growth and development of the apical bud may be related to changes in the composition of phenolics in the corm. a sudden intense change in content and kind of phenoli...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

Grape and wine phenolics are structurally diverse, from simple molecules to oligomers and polymers usually designated as tannins. They have an important impact on the organoleptic properties of wines, that's why their analysis and quantification are of primordial importance. The extraction of phenolics from grapes and from wines is the first step involved in the analysis. Then, several analytic...

Since our previous study revealed that several licorice phenolics have antibacterial effects on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and suppressive effects on the oxacillin resistance of MRSA, we further investigated effectiveness of licorice constituents on vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteria, and purified 32 phenolic compounds. Two flavonoids among them were chara...

background: satureja bachtiarica bunge, an endemic species with relatively wide distribution, is traditionally used as a medicinal and spice plant in iran. objective: essential oils composition, antioxidant activities and phenolics content of wild and cultivated s. bachtiarica of yazd origin were determined in this study. methods: hydrodistilled essential oils were analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms....
