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 ...

The phenolic and chromatic characteristics of a special red ice wine made from a Vitis amurensis × V. vinifera hybrid cultivar Beibinghong were studied. Results from two different vintages (2013 and 2014) showed that during vinification, the phenolic acid content increased, while the level of flavonoids (flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins) reduced by a variable extent. The color intensit...

Phenolic compounds significantly inhibit microbial fermentation of biomass hydrolysates. To understand the quantitative structure−inhibition relationship of phenolic aldehydes on alcoholic fermentation, the effect of 11 different substituted benzaldehydes on the final ethanol yield was examined. The results showed that the degree of phenolic benzaldehyde inhibition was strongly associated with ...

Argentinean herbal infusions were studied for their beneficial biological properties and secondary metabolites content, such as phenolic compounds in order to find new natural products beneficial. The modifications of antihypertensive and antioxidant activities by the addition of commonly used additives (lemon, sugar and sweetener) were studied also. Ilex paraguaiensis infusion showed the highe...

. In this paper content of phenolic compounds from black radish (Raphanus sativus L. var niger) roots of different size were examined. Black radish grown in Serbia, with the same period of development, grouped by size into three groups: (R1) with mass of 350 15 g; (R2): 100 10 g and (R3): 35 5 g, were used. Plant extracts were prepared by using 80% (v/v) ethanol and total phenolic compounds con...

Radix Angelicae Sinensisis (RAS) is one of the most popular traditional Chinese herbal medicines. In the present study, six RAS extracts (i.e., phenolic extract PE, petroleum ether extract PEE, ethyl acetate extract EAE, absolute ethanol extract AEE, 95% ethanol extract 95 EE, and water extract WE) were prepared and their antioxidant activities measured by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl ra...

Coffee and green tea are two of the most widely consumed hot beverages in the world. Their respective bioavailability has been studied separately, but absorption of their respective bioactive phenolics has not been compared. In a randomised cross-over design, nine healthy subjects drank instant coffee and green tea. Blood samples were collected over 12 h and at 24 h to assess return to baseline...

Background: Artemisia dracunculus L. belongs to the Anthemideae tribe of Asteraceae family. This plant has been used in traditional folk medicine. Also, it's anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity has been proved. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of leaves and inflorescence of A. dracunculus and als...

Apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) have been identified as one of the main dietary sources of antioxidants, mainly phenolic compounds. These compounds vary in their composition and concentration, among cultivars and fruit tissues. In this research, the total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau assay), antioxidant capacity (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power, FRAP assay) and mineral composition in th...
