Introduction: Ascorbic acid (AA) acts as an antioxidant in the Central nervous system (CNS) of the mammalians. It is released from the some nerve ending together with neurotransmitters. The results have shown that Ascorbic acid could affect learning as well as memory. In this study, we examined the effect of ICV injection of ascorbic acid on learning and memory by Morris water maze. Method: In...

abstract in this study, the physicochemical quality and antioxidant activities of fruits peel from 6 citrus varieties which commonly consumed in the north of iran were determined. some parameters were measurement such fruit size, peel thickness, residue percentage, peel color indices, total phenolics, total flavonoid, total anthocyanins, total carotenoids, total chlorophyll, ascorbic acid conte...

In this study, the properties of nutritional, color and volatile organic compounds currant varieties (Ribes spp.) in Turkey were investigated. A total 125 different identified with GC-QTOF/MS. The levels protein, sugar fractions, dietary fibre, ascorbic acid minerals fruits found to be between varieties. Ascorbic content ranged from 169.33 725.52 mg/100 g dry weight. K, Ca Mg high amount all To...

A response surface method was used to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction parameters such as extraction time (t) (min), solvent (methanol) concentration (S) (v/v) and microwave power level (MP) for extraction of antioxidants from potato peels. Max. total phenolics content of 3.94 mg g⁻¹ dry weight (dw) was obtained at S of 67.33%, t of 15 min and a MP of 14.67%. For ascorbic acid (1.44 m...

Preservative fruits have gained popularity in recent years as part of food consumption, but their benefits towards human health are not known. This study compared total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), β-carotene, lycopene, ascorbic acid (AA) contents and antioxidant properties between fresh and pickled papaya. The results indicated that mean TPC (mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g dry sampl...

effects of different levels of ascorbic acid consisting of 0, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 mg/kg feed were examined on some immune variables of juvenile great sturgeon (huso huso) weighing 38 g at water temperature 20°c for 16 weeks. significant difference were observed in level of lysozyme in fish treated 400 and 1600 mg compared with control group 8 week post-treatment (p0.05) 16 weeks post-tr...

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an important plant naturally found as a weed in field crops and lawns. Purslane is widely distributed around the globe and is popular as a potherb in many areas of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region. This plant possesses mucilaginous substances which are of medicinal importance. It is a rich source of potassium (494 mg/100 g) followed by magnesium (68...

Rose hip is one of the natural rich sources and also other important components such as tannins, flavonoids, carotenoids, pectin, Nicotinic acid … Iran is one of the important habitat for Rose and it is used as a food and folk remedy. In this study ascorbic acid in four species of Iranian nature Rose hip were assayed. A hydro alcoholic extract were prepared via maceration method and the assay o...
