The aim of this work was to establish the antioxidant capacity and the polyphenolic profile of Artemisia absinthium that could potentially be used in the human diet. An ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic method was used to identify and quantify individual phenolic compounds of the A. absinthium leaves. A total of 20 polyphenolic compounds were identified and quantified in A. absinthi...

background: autoxidation is considered to be the main route of edible oil deterioration, which produces undesirable odors and flavors (attributed to primary and secondary products of unsaturated fatty acids) during storage and heating. objective: antioxidant activities of zataria multiflora (zmeo) and bunium persicum (bpeo) essential oils (eos) in linseed oil (containing higher ω-3 in vegetable...

objectives: consumption of fruits, such as plums and prunes, is useful in treating blood circulation disorder, measles, digestive disorder, and prevention of cancer, diabetes, and obesity. the paper presents a description of antioxidant and antiradical capacity of plum (prunus domestica l.) in both fresh and dried samples. materials and methods: samples were mixed with methanol and ethanol (as ...

background & aim: strawberry (fragaria vesca l.) is a plant belonging to the rosaceae family with medicinal properties, including antioxidant activity. the present study aimed at investigating the antioxidant properties of strawberry. experimental method: to examine the antioxidant effect, fruit extracts at two phonological stages of growth (ripe and unripe strawberry) were prepared. in add...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

the phenolic compounds of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) peel extracted by two methods (solvent and ultrasound-assisted) with five solvents (acetone, methanol, ethanol, water and ethyl acetate) were compared with supercritical fluid extraction (sfe). the total phenolic compounds were determined according to the folin-ciocalteu reagent using tannic acid as standard. the overall results showed ...

This paper presents the quantification, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and the flavonoid chrysoeriol isolated from different extracts (hexane and acetonitrile extracts from whole fruit, peel and seed) of Capsicum frutescens (pimenta malagueta). The acetonitrile extract of the seeds, peel and whole fruits contained capsaicin as a major component, followed i...

background scrophularia striata (scrophulariaceae family) is an herbaceous plant that is traditionally used for treatment of microbial infections. objectives antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different extracts (methanolic, ethanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate) from s. striata aerial parts was evaluated. materials and methods the antimicrobial activity of different extracts from s. stri...

Twenty-six different wild blackberry leaf samples were harvested from various localities throughout southeastern Poland. Leaf samples were assessed regarding their phenolic compound profiles and contents by LC/MS QTOF, and their antioxidant activity by ABTS and FRAP. Thirty-three phenolic compounds were detected (15 flavonols, 13 hydroxycinnamic acids, three ellagic acid derivatives and two fla...
