The main objective of this study was the screening some selected aromatic plants very popular in Greece, with respect to their total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, reducing activity, and oxidative stability. All were extracted conventional method, reflux methanol. essential oils also analyzed for properties. content determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method using gallic acid as standard, while substances identified quantified High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) coupled a...
The kinetics solid-liquid extraction of phenolics from wild olive leaves was elaborated using different mathematical models (Peleg, second order, Elovich, and power law model). As solvents, methanol, ethanol, ethanol:water 1:1, n-propanol, isopropanol ethyl acetate were used. order model best described the solvent process, followed by Elovich model. most effective ethanol with optimum phenol conditions 180 min, to sample ratio 5:1 v/w pH 2. Ethanol extract exhibited highest antiradical...
Over the past few years, nutraceuticals have gained substantial attention due to health-promoting and disease-preventing functions behind their nutritional value. The global prevalence of is reflected in increasing number commercially available wide range applications. Therefore, a unique opportunity emerges for further exploration using innovative, reliable, accurate, low cost, high hit rate methods design develop next generation nutraceuticals. Towards this direction, computational...
Banana ranks as the fifth most cultivated agricultural crop globally, highlighting its crucial socio-economic role. The banana’s health-promoting benefits are correlated with composition in bioactive compounds, such phenolic compounds. Thus, present study attempts to evaluate potential health of banana content by combing analytical and silico techniques. Particularly, total antioxidant/antiradical activity samples during ripening were determined spectrophotometrically. In parallel, liquid...
Currently, the evaluation of fruit ripening progress in relation to physicochemical and texture-quality parameters has become an increasingly important issue, particularly when considering consumer acceptance. Therefore, purpose present study was application rapid, nondestructive, conventional methods assess quality banana peels flesh terms during storage controlled temperatures humidity. For this purpose, we implemented various analytical techniques, such as attenuated total...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate Marisol strawberries' (
Pomegranate juices from the fruits of two relatively new Greek cultivars “Persephone” and “Porphiroyeneti” were studied compared to “Wonderful” cultivar.
The role of maternal colostrum to infant development has been extensively studied and presented. Among the main factors which contribute breast milk composition are diet, age body mass index, parity, duration pregnancy stage lactation. This study aims investigate potential impact several including demographic (i.e. nationality) on fatty acid profile. Colostrum was collected third day postpartum in a Greek maternity hospital. Certain lipid quality indices ratios were estimated results...
The conversion of plant byproducts, which are phenolic-rich substrates, to valuable co-products by implementing non-conventional extraction techniques is the need hour. In current study, ultrasound- (UAE) and microwave-assisted (MAE) were applied for recovery polyphenols from peach byproducts. Two-level screening Box-Behnken design adopted optimize efficiency in terms total phenolic content (TPC). Methanol:water 4:1% v/v was solvent. optimal conditions UAE 15 min, 8 s ON-5 OFF, 35 mL g-1,...
Carotenoids are important antioxidant compounds, present in many foods of plant, animal and marine origin. The aim the study was to describe carotenoid composition tomato waste, prawn muscle cephalothorax avian (duck goose) egg yolks through use a modified gradient elution HPLC method with C30 reversed-phase column for efficient separation analysis carotenoids their cis-isomers. Elution time reduced from 60 45 min without affecting efficiency. All-trans lycopene predominated followed by...
1. Capons and intact male broilers were used to investigate the effects of caponisation on intramuscular fat abdominal adipose tissue lipid content fatty acid profile. 2. had significantly higher total (P < 0·05). 3. Neutral lipids major fractions in but their proportions differed among groups tissues 4. The predominant saturated, monounsaturated polyunsaturated acids all samples C16:0, C16:1 ω-9, C18:0, C18:1 ω-7, C18:2 ω-6 C20:4 ω-6. 5. Caponisation resulted a significant ω-6/ω-3, PUFA...
The object of this study was to determine the phenolic profile, total content and antioxidant capacity pomegranate wine compare multi-varietal<italic>Vitis</italic>spp. red using different spectrophotometric spectrometric techniques.
The antiradical and antioxidant properties of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) extracts from the arils, juice, seeds were examined compared for classical ultrasound-assisted extraction. total phenolic concentration, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl, 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging, ferric reducing power assays compared. High correlations found between concentration activities. Juice exhibited highest concentrations activity to seed aril extracts....
Abstract BACKGROUND Photovoltaics (PV) provide an alternative solution to cover energy demands in greenhouses. This study evaluates the effect of PV panels installed on roofs greenhouses, and partial shading that they cause, growth parameters indicators experimental cultivation peppers ( Capsicum annuum cv. California Wonder). The plants, antioxidant profile, radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content, metabolic profiles (using LC–MS spectrometry NMR spectroscopy) are evaluated....
