present transplant study was carried out across lucknow, the capital of utter pardesh using two medicinally important plants viz., ?catharanthus roseus l.? and ?ocimum sanctum l.? to assess whether certain ecophysiological responses (change in total flavonoids and total phenolics) in these two plants may serve as the biomarkers of auto exhaust pollution. samples were taken from five different s...

background: in recent years, plants natural products have gained considerable attention as natural preservers for use in different industries. due to their free radical scavenging activities, phenolic compounds can prevent a wide range of diseases such as cancers and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. for a long time, different ferulago species have been in use as medicinal plants w...

background: satureja bachtiarica bunge, an endemic species with relatively wide distribution, is traditionally used as a medicinal and spice plant in iran. objective: essential oils composition, antioxidant activities and phenolics content of wild and cultivated s. bachtiarica of yazd origin were determined in this study. methods: hydrodistilled essential oils were analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms....

the objective of this research was to study the biological activities of various extracts and the chemical composition of the essential oil trigonella monantha c. a. mey. subsp. monantha by gas chromatography (gc) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (gc-ms), from the compounds derived from the aerial parts. the overall results of t. monantha tests allow us to conclude various extracts [hex...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

Sucrose (0.04 to 0.12 m) induces accumulation of both total phenolics and anthocyanin in leaf discs of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) incubated in intermittent light. Abscisic acid (20 muM) and 2-chloroethyl phosphonic acid (60 mum) act synergistically with the sucrose to enhance its induction of both total phenolics and anthocyanin. The magnitude of this interaction depends on leaf age. Nitrate...

pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, whose many varieties are cultivated. fruits are widely consumed fresh and in processed forms as juice, jams and etc. pomegranate peel, as a by-product of the commercial juice industry, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. this research has been done to evaluate and compare physical characteristics, total phenolics, total...

herbal water is referred to the liquid obtained from the distillation of medicinal plants. different parts of plants, such as flowers, fruits, leaves, seeds and roots have long been used to produce herbal waters. herbal waters are used as dietary supplements and alternative medicine and are commonly used for flavoring in baking. previous studies focused on the non-volatile constituents of herbs...
