The antioxidant and antimicrobial components of honey vary based on sourced of nectar. Medicinal plants with the therapeutic value have potential to produce honey with greater bioactivity. The aim of the present study was to characterize the physico-chemical and antioxidant capacities of Agastache honey produced from Agastache rugosa and compare them with other popular commercial honeys sold in...

background and objectives: essential oils are very complex mixture of components and their composition may vary in different species or varieties or even within the same variety. origanum vulgare l. subsp. vulgare is one of the most distributed subspecies within the genus origanum and has been found to be a poor-oil, categorized in cymyl, bornane or sabinyl chemotypes with higher proportion of ...

BACKGROUND Podophyllum hexandrum Royle (P. hexandrum) is a perennial herb and widely used in clinic. The present study was designed to separate and identify the biochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of extracts from P. hexandrum rhizome. METHODS The ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts from P. hexandrum rhizome were analyzed by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), and the an...

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents and evaluate the antioxidant potential of different solvent extracts of Rumex vesiarius L. Methods: The antioxidant potential of the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extract by using FRAP, LPO and Peroxidase assays and free radical scavenging by using DPPH and ABTS were determined. These activi...

ABSTRACT. Dacryodes klaineana is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of painful menstruation; tachycardia and cough. The study aims to evaluate antioxidant antimicrobial properties plant. extract fractions D. were screened their effects using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing power (FRAP), total phenolic contents (TPC) assay methods. activity plant was evaluated a...

Research on the effect of processing on the retention of bioactive components with potential antioxidant activity is gaining importance. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of various processing methods (milling, boiling, pressure cooking, roasting and germination respectively) on the antioxidant components as well as the antioxidant activities in the commonly used pe...

The influence of common home processing methods was investigated on the color characteristics, phenolic component, antioxidant activity (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl [DPPH] and ferric-reducing power [FRAP] activity) levels γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in cowpea pods. significantly increased total content, flavonoid content compounds (DPPH FRAP). GABA sharply decreased pods after boiling drying t...
