A variety of 4-aryl- and 4-alkyl-3-(substituted benzylthio)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles were prepared and evaluated for their bleaching activity by the lettuce seedling test. Among the series of tested compounds, 4-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-(4-trifluoromethylbenzylthio)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (39) exhibited the highest bleaching activity, causing complete bleaching symptoms at 10 microM. In the dark condition, comp...

The essential oil composition of Rhus cotinus L. (syn. Cotinus coggygria Scop.; Family: Anacardiaceae), was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by β-carotene bleaching test, reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation methods. A total of 30 compounds were identified with the dominance of monoterpenes (65.9%) viz. β-Pinene, ca...


 This study aimed to determine the effect of yellow pumpkin puree characteristics brownies which made by black glutinous rice flour, and find out preeminent characteristics. The experiment was designed as a completely randomized design with 5 level treatments (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) addition. treatment repeated for 3 times obtain 15 experimental unit overall. data analyzed using analysis...

The antioxidant activity of fresh and dried plant extracts of Paederia foetida and Syzygium aqueum were studied using beta-carotene bleaching and the 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation assay. The percentage of antioxidant activity for all extract samples using both assays was between 58 and 80%. The fresh samples of both plants had higher antioxidant ac...

It has been investigated the in vitro antioxidant properties of ethanol extracts of the contained-allantoin plants in this study. Contained-allantoined plant samples Plantago lanceolata, Plantago major, Robinia pseudoacacia, Platanus orientalis and Aesculus hippocastanum were tested at different concentrations. The antioxidant activities of plant samples were analysed by 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylh...

The need for antioxidant agents, which can prevent oxidative stress, has become a major priority. Saharan plants could constitute a reservoir of effective biomolecules useful as antioxidants. Genista saharae, wich is anendemic plant of Algeria,is a leafless spontaneous fabaceae called "Tellegit" by local people. As it is known to be a source of chemical compounds which are characterized by anti...

The present study was designed to examine the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Bunium incrassatum extracts prepared in five different solvents with increasing polarities. RP-HPLC analysis resulted identification 12 phenolic compounds, including 8 acids (caffeic acid, ellagic ferulic gallic rosmarinic sinapic syringic vanillic acid) 4 flavonoids (catechin, hesperetin, luteolin, q...

A non-radioactive cell-free assay was developed to quantitatively determine inhibition of plant-type phytoene desaturase by bleaching herbicides. An active desaturase was prepared from an appropriately cloned E. coli transformant. Another E. coli transformant was used to produce the required phytoene. Phytofluene and zeta-carotene, the products of the desaturase reaction, were either determined...
