The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity of polyphenol green tea on mutans streptococci. Tea is a traditional drink that is beneficial to health. One of its benefits is its capability to prevent dental caries because it has active substance polyphenol.An extract of green tea non-fermented tea leaves of Camellia sinensis and its chromatographically isolated polyphenol compound was e...

Nanoencapsulation is commonly used to improve nutritional properties, rheological behavior and flavor profile of phytochemicals. The particles commonly utilized to encapsulate the functional ingredients are natural polymers such as polysaccharides and proteins. There is an ever-growing interest for use of polysaccharides to encapsulate hydrophobic phytochemicals like curcumin. Curcumin is a pol...

We have previously demonstrated that quercetin (Quer), a polyphenol widely found in vegetables, decreased glioma cell growth in vitro. Here, we asked whether this compound could affect glioma growth in an in vivo rat glioma model. We found that daily intraperitoneal Quer (50 mg/kg) injections lead to a concentration of 0.15 μg of Quer per gram of brain tissue, which increased the tumor volume i...

Recently, Kwon et al. reported that the antioxidant activity and total both polyphenol and flavonoid contents of garlic juice were increased by high temperatureand pressure-treatment (130°C, 120 min). We tried to make high temperatureand pressure-treated garlic (HTPG) using an autoclave (130°C, 150 min) rapidly and easily. Our attempt showed that antioxidative activity and total polyphenol cont...
