Phenolic compounds were measured in leaf tissues of apple cvs Jonagold and Golden Delicious, healthy and infected by Venturia inaequalis. Leaves were sampled from May to September 2005 and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. Hydroxycinnamic acids detected were chlorogenic, caffeic, ferulic and pcoumaric. In addition, the presence was ascertained of the dihydrochalcone phloridzin...

A method for the colorimetric estimation of manganese by reduction of the phosphomolybdicphosphotungstic acid phenol reagent has been described (Abul-Fadl, 1948). Cobalt was also found to give a similar colour reaction in the presence (but not in the absence) of amino-acids. Conversion of cobalt into the cobaltinitrite did not affect its response to this reaction. As methods for the estimation ...

the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. in the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (ag nps) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol trolox equivalents g-1 dw (µmol te g-1 dw), ranged from 116.0 ...

The He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and the concept of optothermal window (OW), a variant of the open photoacoustic cell, were combined with the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetry assay to quantitate phenolics in four red wines. The total polyphenolic content in selected red wines varied between 786 and 1630 mg/L gallic acid equivalent (GAE) as determined by OW-Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetry, which compares well ...
