The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the FolinCiocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl1picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) an...

We investigated the inhibition of advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) activity using the fluorescence characteristics of fractions and compounds from Corni Fructus. Corni Fructus extract and its iridoid glycoside components showed low inhibitory activities as well as the AGE inhibitor aminoguanidine. However, a low molecular weight polyphenol, 7-O-galloyl-D-sedoheptulose, and an antioxidant, tr...

tion, stable radicals have the advantage that their concentrations are readily and directly measurable. Among them a stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was investigated as a reactive hydrogen acceptor and further found to be useful for the antioxidant determination. Since then DPPH has been mainly used to examine radical scavenging activity of antioxidative vitamins and po...

In this study, n-butanol fraction (KBF) and aqueous fraction (KAF) isolated from methanol extract of Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. leaves were evaluated for their antioxidant potential using (ABTS) 2, 2-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, Reducing power assay and Superoxide anion radical scavenging assay. These fractions were also studi...

Argentine croaker (Umbrina canosai) and chicken (Gallus domesticus) bones were hydrolyzed with different proteases (Flavourzyme, "-Chymotrypsin and Trypsin) in order to obtain peptides whit antioxidant activity. The hydrolysates showed different degrees of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant power of the hydrolysates was evaluated through inhibition of the peroxidation of linol...

Purpose: To improve the aqueous solubility of phloridzin by complexing it with hydroxypropyl-βcyclodextrin (HP-β-CD). Methods: The complex of phloridzin with HP-β-CD was prepared by freeze-drying method. The physicochemical properties of the complex were investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV), infrared spectrometry (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffracto...

the plants of the genus salvia synthesize several types of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and radical scavenging activities and are used in the folk medicine of different countries. eleven salvia species including s. aegyptiaca, s. aethiopis, s. atropatana, s. eremophila, s. hypoleuca, s. limbata, s. nemorosa, s. santolinifolia, s. sclarea, s. syriaca, and s. xanthocheila ...

the subject handled in this study is the determination of antioxidant activities of extracts obtained from the urginea maritima (l.) baker plant’s leaves and tubers. extractions which were obtained using various solvents as methanol, ethanol, acetone and benzine. the antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined using β-karotene-linoleic acid system. moreover, the free radical scavenging ...

1,1-dipheny-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities of the 80% methanolic leaf extracts of three cultivars (small leaf, SL; big leaf, BL; thin leaf, TL) of Mai-Men-Dong (Liriope spicata L.) are analyzed by spectrophotometry. The concentrations required for 50% inhibition (IC 50 ) of DPPH radicals were 81.08, 96.97, and 53.78 μg/mL, respectively. The methanolic extracts were further partit...
