Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural byproducts of oxidative respiration that are toxic to organs and tissues. To mitigate ROS damage, organisms have evolved a variety of antioxidant systems to counteract these harmful molecules, however in certain pathological conditions these protective mechanisms can be overwhelmed. We have recently demonstrated that Peptide Inhibitor of Complement C1 (...

in order to optimization of protein hydrolysis condition (including enzyme to substrate ratio (e/s), temperature and time) for achieving the highest antioxidant activity, the green tiger prawn (p. semisulcatus) mince was tested via commercial protease (alcalase® 2.4l) based on the response surface designed method in 18 treatments and then dried to obtain powder in freeze dryer. the antioxidant ...

the aim of this study is extraction of phenolic compounds from walnut leaves of touyserkani variety with two extraction methods (traditional method and with microwave assisted extraction (mae)) and evaluation of their antioxidant activity. total phenolic contents and antioxidant properties of aqueous, methanol (80%) and ethanol (50%) extracts in different times was determined. at the next stage...

this study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of the methanolic extracts from male inflorescence of salix aegyptiaca l. grown in iran. the methanolic extract (me) and its three fractions including water (wf), butanol (bf) and chloroform (cf) were prepared and then their antioxidant activities, as well as total phenolic contents, were evaluate...

Three variations of tomato fudge were prepared using tomato powder at different proportions with sugar, whole milk and honey and evaluated for sensory quality, antioxidant activity, microbial count and consumer acceptability. It was observed that the fudge prepared by using 1-3 g of tomato powder were having higher sensory scores while antioxidant activity was found highest in fudge having 5 g ...

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...
