(cornaceae) is a native species in north and northwest of iran. it is locally named siah-al. the genus cornus is rich source of anthocyanins. objective: in this study the antioxidant activity, total phenol and total anthocyanin contents of different extracts of c. sanguinea l subsp australis. were investigated for the first time. m...

Objectives: Sweet peppers Capsicum annuum L. (C. annuum) are an excellent source of vitamins A and C as well as phenolic compounds, which are important antioxidant components that may reduce the risk of diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate their antioxidant activity under various temperatures. Materials and Methods: To compare the antioxidant activity in various temperatures (2...

grapes are significant sources of nutritional antioxidants as well as biologically active dietary components. this study was carried out to determine the amount of total phenols, anthocyanins and antioxidant activity of 35 grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) cultivars grown in fars province (iran). ripened bunches were randomly harvested from grapevine collection in zarghan (fars province, iran) agri...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Ag+ as an elicitor on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, content of H2O2, accumulation of total tocopherol and antioxidant activity in hairy root cultures of Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. The hairy roots were treated with 2 mM Ag+. The treated and non-treated hairy roots were harvested in the same time and data on H2O2 content, DPPH, tocop...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...
