The potential of extracts prepared from seeds of three citrus species (orange, lemon and grapefruit) to stabilize lipid oxidation of cooked and raw broiler meat under refrigeration storage was evaluated and compared with butylated hydroxyl anisole (BHA), a synthetic antioxidant. The citrus seed extracts were separately applied at a rate of 1.5% of the weight of the meat. There was a negative co...

Climatic variation of anti-oxidative properties, Phenolics and mineral nutraceuticals in fresh tea shoots, consisting of one apical bud and two adjoining leaves sampled from TV1, TV20, TV26, TV29, TV30 (Tocklai Vegetative) clone and Tingamara, Dangri Manipuri and Sundaram B/5/63(Seed jat) grown in Terai region in Darjeeling district, North Bengal was investigated during three harvest season (Ma...

Alcoholic and water extracts of the stem and root of Blumea eriantha DC were prepared and evaluated for in-vitro antioxidant activity by methods like total reducing power, scavenging of us free radicals like as 1,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), super oxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The percentage scavenging effect of free radicals was compared with standard antioxidants like asc...

Natural antioxidants have gained considerable interest in recent years for their role in preventing the auto oxidation of fats, oils and fat containing food products. In the present study, three plant foods viz., amla (Emblica officianalis), drumstick leaves (Moringa oleifera) and raisins (Vitis vinifera) were used as sources of natural antioxidants. All the three extracts exhibited a high perc...

Seed coat crude extracts of white-coloured ITA-256, white and brown-coloured TVS-716, deep brown-coloured IT-90K and light brown-coloured Ife brown cowpea varieties were analyzed for the presence and amount of total phenol, tannin and flavonoid content. Crude extracts of the cowpea varieties were analyzed for antioxidant activity using the Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) assay. The seed coat extracts...

The methanolic extract of Curcuma longa L. rhizome was subjected to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. chromatographic investigation the showed 27 constituents which 19 compounds were newly found from C. longa. Here, peaks obtained in total ion chromatogram compared with National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) database for identification constituents. most plenti...

Fossil fuels are depended upon often in the transport sector. The use of diesel engines all areas produce pollutants, such as NOx and CO, which cause serious environmental pollution hazards, global climate change breathing difficulties. Conventional fuel usage should be reduced, there a shift toward alternative fuels. For compression ignition (CI) engines, microalgae biodiesel has been promoted...

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a highly lipophilic compound present in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is essential for production of cellular energy in the form of ATP. CoQ10 is used as an antioxidant and also in the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders. The relative bioavailabilities of powder filled capsule (I) and oil-based formulation (II) of CoQ10 were compared in beagle dogs in an open...
