This research was undertaken to investigate the influence of extraction parameters during microwave-assisted extraction on total phenolic content, total flavonoids, total hydroxycinnamic acids and total flavonols of blackthorn flowers as well as to evaluate the antioxidant capacity by two different methods (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging capacity and ferric reducing antio...

The effects of guava leaves extracted using solvents of water, ethanol, methanol, and different concentrations of hydroethanolic solvents on phenolic compounds and flavonoids, and antioxidant properties have been investigated. The antioxidant capability was assessed based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical and 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical-scavenging abili...

in the processing of carbon/carbon composites using polymer resin as the matrix precursor, it is inevitable that a porous structure was formed after carbonization. as a result, densification by liquid phase impregnation followed by recarbonization is required to obtain a densified composite. consequently, the char formability of resin is an important factor in reducing the number of densificati...

Conventional methods for extracting and quantifying phenolic compounds in citrus rinds are time consuming. Rapid methods for extracting and quantifying phenolic compounds were developed by comparing three extraction solvent combinations (80:20 v/v ethanol:H2O; 70:29.5:0.5 v/v/v methanol:H2O:HCl; and 50:50 v/v dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO):methanol) for effectiveness. Freeze-dried, rind powder was e...

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) represents one of the main crops for human consumption, due to its nutritional and functional qualities. Phenolic compounds have beneficial health effects, beans are an essential source these molecules, being found mainly in seed coat color depends on concentration type phenolic present. during storage processing, such as cooking, germination, extrusion, ...

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...

chlorogenic acid, a pharmacologically important compound, is a phenolic compound that occurs in certain commonly used medicinal herbs. we looked for the presence of this compound in the callus cultures of varthemia persica dc (var. persica ). we have evaluated the conditions for establishment of callus cultures of v. persica and the in vitro production of chlorogenic acid. callus was initiated ...

from methanolic extract of aerial parts of peucedanum ruthenicum m. bieb (apiaceae) collected from mazandaran province of iran, four flavonoids namely isorhamnetin 3-0-rutinoside 1, rutin 2, quercetin 3, morin 4 and two phenolic acids namely caffeic acid 5 and p-coumaric acid 6 have been isolated by paper chromatography (pc) and crystallization. their structures were elucidated by ms, 1h, 13c n...
