objective: a research was carried out to investigate the effects of nettle (urtica dioica) powder (np) and essential oil (ne) on performance, blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and antioxidant stability in broiler chicks. methods: the treatments were t1: control diet, t2: control diet + 5g/kg np, t3: control diet + 10 g/kg np, t4: control diet + 5g/kg ne and t5: control diet + 10 g/kg n...

the use of essential oils as the preservative agents in food industry faces the problem of interactions with food matrix components, low solubility in aqueous phase, high volatile character and sensitivity to environmental conditions. the aim of this study was to enhance thermal stability and antioxidant activity of thyme essential oil (to) by encapsulation in chitosan nanoparticles (cs-np). to...

conclusions employing the lpe as a new approach, gives novel concept of probiotic-products in food and medical marketing. results results showed that, lpe had more antipathogenic effects, antioxidant activity, and stability during storage-time when compared to fresh probiotic-extract. objectives in this study extract of cultured probiotics without cells was evaluated for its antimicrobial effec...

abstract: the commercial development of food products originated from the plants as sources of antioxidants to increase the health benefit and stabilize the food is of current interest. this study was aimed at obtaining dill extract using cold solvent method by three solvents, (methanol, acetone, and hexane) and examining the antioxidant potency and determining the oxidative stability of sunflo...

conclusions in lighting conditions, most of t-res was isomerized to the other isomer cis-resveratrol. t-res is unstable in alkali ph and when exposed to light. t-res was quite stable at other conditions, and several freeze-thaw cycles did not have any effect on its stability. results our findings revealed that t-res was quite stable in different temperatures ranging from -70 °c to 25 °c, and ac...

Flavor and oxidative stabilities of a northerngrown sunflower seed oil were investigated. Taste panel and oxidative evaluations were made on alkalirefined, deodorized, unbleached samples treated with commercial antioxidant mixtures, phenolic antioxidants, metal scavengers and added trace metals. Similar evaluations were conducted on a sample of the same oil after bleaching. Commercial antioxida...

The phenolic constituents in Piper betle are well known for their antioxidant potential; however, current literature has very little information on their stability under the influence of storage factors. Present study evaluated the stability of total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity together with individual phenolic constituents (hydroxychavicol, eugenol, isoeugenol and allylpyro...

BACKGROUND Lipid oxidation is a main problem during food processing, storage and consumption leading to losses of quality, stability, safety and nutritive value. Antioxidants have been used to prevent oxidation changes and off - flavor development in food products. Aim of the research was to evaluate antioxidative effect of thyme ethanol extract on sunflower oil during its storage in different ...

Fresh pork bacon belly was used as material and manufactured into dry-salted bacon through salting and drying-ripening. During processing both oxidative stability and antioxidant enzyme stability were evaluated by assessing peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and their co...

Green tea and apple are natural products with health benefits. These healthy properties are linked closely to the antioxidant compounds, mainly phenolic compounds. These antioxidant compounds have a potential for preventing and treating cancer, cardiovascular, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases in humans. The aim of the present work was to design a new beverage with high antioxidant po...
