The antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts of fresh leaves of costmary (Chrysanthemum balsamita L.) was investigated. The effect of the extraction time on total phenolic compounds (TPhC) and antioxidant activity (ABTS -, CUPRACand FRAP assays) was studied. Results demonstrated highest levels of TPhC (0.60 GAE/g fresh plant weight), CUPRAC (5.93 μMTE/g FW), ABTS (10.68 μMTE/g FW), and FRAP (7....

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of cabbage phytochemicals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Color coordinates were evaluated by colorimetry, and the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities were analyzed by spectrophotometer for some common cabbage varieties. RESULTS Red heads had the highest total antioxidant contents followed b...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of spirulina pletensis powder on the growth performances (final weight (fw), daily growth ratio (dgr), feed indices (feed conversion rate (fcr), voluntary feed intake (vfi), protein efficiency ratio (per), protein produce value (ppv), body chemical (protein, fat, moisture and ash) and fatty acid composition of mugil cephalus for 62 days. the ...

Increased consumption of vegetables or plant food has been associated with decreased risk of developing major chronic diseases, such as cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related functional decline. Ramie leaves are rich in phenolics and flavonoids, which have been suggested for human health benefits. Phenolic contents, flavonoid contents, phenolic compounds, and anti-cancer pr...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the antioxidant potential of porridges (kola kenda) made incorporating herbs. DESIGN Experimental study. Main outcome measures Total phenolic content was estimated by Folin Ciocalteau method (GAEmg/g(FW) and the antioxidant potential by ABTS free radical scavenging activity (TEAC(μg)/100g (FW). RESULTS Total phenolics and antioxidant potentials of porridges ranged fro...

this experiment conducted to evaluate the effect of different methods of force molting on performance, egg quality of laying hens with one hundred eighty of 52-wk old hy-line layer in completely randomized design with six treatments, five replicates for 90 days. treatments include 1 - feed withdrawal (fw), 2 - 50 percent alfalfa meal: 50 percent layer ration, 3 - 75 percent alfalfa meal: 25 per...

this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...

The contents of total phenolics, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, and the fruit antioxidant activity 9 pomegranate varieties (‘Zumnarija’, ‘Bejnarija’, ‘Valandovska kisela’, kiselo-slatka’, ‘Hidjas’, ‘Kisela’, ‘Karamustafa’, ‘Lifanka’, ‘Ropkavec’) were examined. Autochthonous contained 4354.4 – 6480.9 mg/kg FW phenols, 160 698.2 96.9 157.2 high fruits (71.2 - 92.5% inhibition). kisela’ variety had h...
