BACKGROUND Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a polymeric nanostructured fibrillar network produced by certain microorganisms, principally Gluconacetobacter xylinus. BC has a great potential of application in many fields. Lignocellulosic biomass has been investigated as a cost-effective feedstock for BC production through pretreatment and hydrolysis. It is well known that detoxification of lignocellul...

The study investigated the nutritional profile and nutraceutical composition of seeds (whole defatted) two monoecious hemp cultivars (Carmaleonte, Codimono) one dioecious cultivar (CS) grown during 2018 2019 crop seasons. phenolic acid profiles, both free bound, antioxidant activity (AA), protein content (PC), total (TPC), β-carotene, lutein content, condensed tannins (CT) were studied, effects...

Kodo and little millet (Kutki) have a variety of phytochemical constituents including derivatives hydroxybenzoic acid hydroxycinnamic acids, myricetin, catechin, luteolin, apigenin, daidzein, naringenin, kaempferol, quercetin with vast health benefits thus can be utilized as functional food ingredients. Millet-based foods their products physiological health-promoting impacts, notably antidiabet...

Terahertz spectroscopy of benzoic acid (BA) and two of its derivatives, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (2OH-BA) and 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3OH-BA), has been investigated in the spectral region 200 to 500 cm(-1) (6.06 to 15.15 THz). The spectra show distinct absorption features. There is agreement between some of the absorption lines observed for these compounds, despite a shift in energy, which is attri...

We have investigated the electrochemical oxidation of a number natural phenolics (salicylic acid, m-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, quercetin and rutin) using cyclic voltammetry. The antioxidant properties of these compounds were also studied. A structural analysis of the tested phenolics suggests ...

Antioxidant properties of mono- and dihydroxyphenolic acids and their alkyl esters were examined, with emphasis on the relationship between their molecular structure and antioxidant activity. Test media with different tocopherol level were used for determining the oxidative stability: original refined sunflower oil (total tocopherols 149.0 mg/kg), partially tocopherol-stripped sunflower oil (to...
