Objective: The present study was conducted to detect possible chemicals (phytoconstituents), prove ethno-medicinal value of the plant, and investigate antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and total phenolic content of crude methanolic extract of the Solanum violaceum plant.  Materials and Methods: Phytochemical screening was carried out using different chemical group test methods. In anthelmintic activ...

in this research, anti-microbial activity of ethanolic extract of licorice root against food spoilage microorganisms (lactobacillus delbrueckii, leuconostocmesenteroides, candida krusei, saccharomyces cerevisiae) in an orange flavored carbonated soft drink was investigated. the mic and mbc of extract against lactobacillus delbrueckii was 0.7 mg/ml and 0.8 mg/ml respectively, and against leucono...

Increases in the production of terpene- and phenolic-like compounds in plant species under abiotic stress conditions have been interpreted in physiological studies as a supplementary defense system due to their capacity to limit cell oxidation. From an ecological perspective however, these increases are only expected to confer competitive advantages if they do not imply a significant cost for t...

recently great afford have focused on the production of food and beverages which are rich in phenolic and antioxidant components. the epidemiology investigations have proved that the regular composition of food and beverages are richer in phenolic and antioxidant components can strongly decrease the cardiovascular disease. this was done after the preparation of components such as soymilk mixed ...

BACKGROUND Red-skin root disease has seriously decreased the quality and production of Panax ginseng (ginseng). METHODS To explore the disease's origin, comparative analysis was performed in different parts of the plant, particularly the epidermis, cortex, and/or fibrous roots of 5-yr-old healthy and diseased red-skin ginseng. The inorganic element composition, phenolic compound concentration...

background & aim: nowdays consumers prefer to eat healthier foods, therefore producers and researchers are involved to improve the variety, quality, taste of food products. lemon balm is a perennial, aromatic, herb that contains many phenolic compounds. in this research the effect of additing lemon balm powder (by reducing of wheat flour in formulation, instead) on qualities of sponge cakes...

This study identified major phenolic compounds of the tucum-do-cerrado (Bactris setosa) peel, as well as antioxidant activity and total phytochemical compound concentration of different extracts of the peel and pulp of this fruit. Phenolic compounds of the different extracts of tucum-do-cerrado peel were identified and quantified using a high-performance liquid chromatography system coupled to ...

In the last decade, electrochemical oxidation coupled with mass spectrometry has been successfully used for the analysis of metabolic studies. The application focused in this study was to investigate the redox potential of different phenolic compounds such as the very prominent chlorogenic acid. Further, EC/ESI-MS was used as preparation technique for analyzing adduct formation between electroc...
