the crude oil, crude protein, crude ash, crude fiber, total phenol and antioxidant activity values, peroxide values, specific gravity, the refraxtive index and  acid value of citrullus lanatus and their oils were determined. fatty acid composition of seeds belong to both watermelon were determined by gas chromotography (gc). these oils are important sources of essential fatty acid, linoleic aci...

wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) causes extensive economic damage to wheat (triticum aestivum l.) in many regions of the world. the present study was conducted to find out if the variations in biochemical changes in reaction to wsmv infection in f2 generation of either potentially resistant (adl-cross) or susceptible (marvdasht) cultivars are genetically inherited. a factorial experiment was em...

the essential oil from the aerial parts ofjurinea leptoloba dc., collected from shiraz (south of iran), was investigated for total phenolic content (tpc), antioxidant and cytotoxic effects. tpc of j. leptoloba oil was determined to be 16.53 ± 5.69 μg gallic acid equivalent/mg sample (μg gae/mg oil) using the folin-ciocalteau assay. the ferric reducing power of the oil was determined 0.117 ± 0.0...

herbal medicines can be used as the potential sources of anti-oxidative compounds to help the treatment of diseases associated to oxidative stress. in this paper, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (frap) activity of four lamiaceae herbal extracts, which traditionally applied in oxidative stress related diseases, has been evaluated and total phenolics contents of these extracts determined by...

objective: antioxidants are considered as the main factors in the inhibition of unwanted oxidation reactions. materials and methods: in this research the antioxidant potential of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica (m. domestica) cultivated in the kashan, qamsar area was evaluated. the antioxidant activity of the samples were evaluated using two complementary antioxidant...

this study focused on use of bacterial extracellular enzyme activities as biochemical parameters, along with the microbiological and physicochemical characteristics, in a comprehensive assessment of water quality of four lake ecosystems in the province of vojvodina (northern serbia): provala, ludas, zobnatica and palic. water samples were collected in june and october, 2008. for assessment of ...
