The genus Phoenix is one of the most widely cultivated groups of palms around the world. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds of 14 different varieties of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L., Arecaceae) seed extracts with 5 solvents [water, methanol, methanol (50%), DMSO, and water: methanol: acetone: formic acid (20:40:40:0.1)]. Ferric redu...

the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of methanol and acetone extracts of three marine algae, including hypnea hamulosa, gracilaria corticata and enteromorpha intestinalis wereinvestigated.antioxidant activities were determined by means of total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, dpph radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. antibacterial activity w...

plant growth is often limited by low levels of soil micronutrients such as copper (cu), ‎especially in calcareous salt-affected soils of arid and semiarid regions. the aim of this ‎work was to investigate individual and combined effects of salinity and cu on growth, leaf ‎relative water content (lrwc), cell membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, and total ‎phenolic content (tpc) of rosemary...

Objective: In this study, the levels and antioxidant activities of some secondary metabolites isolated from five pistachio (Pistacia vera)cultivars collected from four different geographical regions of Iran, were studied. Materials and Methods: Total phenolic compounds levels were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total flavonoid content was determined as AlCl3 complex and expressed as mg o...

Plants are almost reach sources of phenolic compounds such as flavonoids which are the most importantnatural antioxidants. Antioxidant compounds are essential for protecting human body against oxidativestress. However use elicitors could increase the antioxidant activity of plant. The purpose of this studywas to evaluate the effects of Chitosan on the content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds...

background: olive oil wastewater  contains chemical contents and organic materials that are resistant to biodegradation.  the existence of phenolic inhibitor compounds, toxicity to microorganisms in wastewater treatment units, unpleasant odor, high biochemical oxygen demand (bod) and chemical oxygen demand (cod), high suspended solids, and compounds resistant to biodegradation in such wastewate...

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...
