Fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in Anatolia. Thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of Juniperus foetidissima Willd. and J. sabina L. in this study. In-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...

Restrictions on the use of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated  hydroxyanisole  (BHA) and butylated  hydroxytoluene (BHT) are being imposed  because of  their carcinogecity. In this investigation  optimization  of phenolic extraction  process  frome  methanolic (80%)  extract (v/v) of  elaegnus  angustifolia  through  Response  Surface Methodology  by fulin cio- calteu is  performrd  for op...

Salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family. Its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. Therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. The aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of Salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is a sensitive agricultural crop whose antioxidant properties are decreased during postharvest storage. in this study, the effect of citric acid dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) was investigated. methods: fresh mushrooms soaked in chilled citric acid solution a...

background and objective: oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogensis of various diseases, including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis. total antioxidant capacity plays a significant role in the body’s antioxidant defense, so its assessment is a matter of the utmost importance. currently, assessment of this capacity is performed in various s...

bilberry [vaccinium myrtillus linn. (ericaceae)] fruit (vmf) has been traditionally used for treatment of bladder stones, biliary disorders, scurvy, coughs, and lung tuberculosis. vmf may have some pharmaceutical properties owing to these uses, but in vivo and in vitro studies are limited for clarification of medicinal activity and its antidiabetic and antioxidant properties are not investigate...

Background & Aims: Date palm fruit is one of the highly consumed foods with antioxidant compounds and high nutritive value in Iran. In this study, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of three varieties of date palm (Hajmohamadi, Kabkab, and Khasi) in three stages of ripening were investigated. Methods: This was a laboratory study. Palm fruits of Hajmohamadi, Kabkab, and Khasi vari...
