An in-depth study of the hydrophobic eutectic solvent formed by butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and l-menthol (MEN) in a 1:3 molar ratio has been carried out using an integrated approach that combines differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, small- wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), molecular dynamics (MD) simulati...

Natural antioxidants recently have gained popularity since synthetic ones have toxic and carcinogenic effects. In the present study, effect of temperature (120, 150 and 180°C) and cinnamaldehyde on oxidative stability of several oils (olive, hazelnut and palm oils) and fats (milkfat and butter) was examined. In order to compare the results with the synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxy tolue...

A convenient route for cyanation and bromination of some electron-rich aromatics (anisole, 1,3-dimethoxybenzene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene and β-naphthol) by BrCN in the presence of aluminum trichloride (AlCl3), as catalyst, by grinding method under solvent-free conditions at room temperature to 60 °C was described in good yield. The structures of all obtained products were ...

The aim of this work was to compare the antioxidant activity of the extract of flaxseed and its alkaline hydrolysate in two model systems: lipid autoxidation of triacylglycerols of sunflower oil (TGSO)-in a homogeneous lipid media and during β-carotene-linoleate emulsion system. In addition, pure lignans were tested. The material was defatted with hexane and then phenolic compounds were extract...

The potential antiproliferative and antiradical activities of an enzymatic extract of Ecklonia cava together with its crude polysaccharide (CpoF) and crude polyphenolic fractions (CphF) were evaluated in vitro. Tested extracts showed strong selective cell proliferation inhibition on all cancer cell lines tested, especially CphF extract, containing high polyphenol amount, showed 5.1 microg/ml of...
