To investigate beneficial effects of Pomegranate seeds oil (PSO), leaves (PL), juice (PJ) and (PP) on brain cholinesterase activity, oxidative stress lipid profile in high-fat-high fructose diet (HFD) induced-obese rat. In vitro vivo status, body weight plasma were measured control rats, HFD-fed rats treated by PSO, PL, PJ PP. study showed that PP, inhibited activity dose dependant manner. PL extract displayed the highest inhibitory IC50 151.85 mg/ml. For study, HFD regime induced a...
This study aims to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, phenolics content, and oil composition of pomegranate seeds (PSO). Quality indices, pigments, antioxidant activity were determined. PSO was fractioned into polar lipids: glycolipids (GL) phospholipids (PL). Sterols profile fatty acids total lipids (TL), GL, PL determined by GC/FID. The free acidity, peroxide value, specific extinction coefficients were, respectively, 1.69%, 3.42 in milliequivalents active oxygen per kilogram...
The cactus family plant has been used in folk medicine for a long time. In this work,
Four raisin (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties, Chriha, Razeki, Assli, and Meski, were evaluated for total phenolic content, o-diphenol flavonoid condensed tannin, carotenoid anthocyanin content. Antioxidant potential was assessed by three assays: 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid radical scavenging capacity ferric reducing power. Individual profiles determined high-performance liquid chromatography. The results revealed that the four varieties...
In the current study potential use of aqueous and methanolic extracts Ephedra alata aerial parts as biological control agent against pathogenic bacteria especially Staphylococcus aureus methicillin resistant isolated from auricular infections was evaluated. Chemical tests spectrophotometric methods were used for screening quantification phytochemicals. The assessment antioxidant activity accomplished by DPPH ABTS radicals scavenging assays. Extracts evaluated their antibacterial efficacy...
Abstract Pasta assortments fortified with high quality foods are a modern nutritional trends. This study, explored the effects of fortification linseed flour (LF) and oil (LO) on durum wheat pasta characteristics. Wheat semolina was replaced 5%, 10% 15% LF or 1%, 2.5% 5% LO. Control CP (without LO addition), LF-enriched LFP LO-enriched LOP compared for proteins, fat phenolic contents fatty acids (FA) profile. Impact lipid oxidation sensory evaluation were also determined . Fortification...
Numerous studies have focused on enhancing oxidative stability of frying oils by effective natural antioxidants especially those derived from plants such as phenolic components. Leaves Moringa oleifera (ML) and Ziziphus Lotus (JL) are a good example parts plant rich in polyphenols. In this study, ML JL extracts were compared for their contents, antioxidant activity effects the thermal corn oil (CO). Refined CO supplemented with (CO+ML) (CO+JL) exposed to heating (180 °C) 8 h. Changes...
The aim of this study was to optimize the formulation hard candy with antiviral herbal extracts and flowered Citrus limon peel essential oils. To substitute water fraction, D-optimal mixture design used. optimized fractions best contain Curcuma longa extract (10%), Artemisia herba-alba Asso (3.33%), Glycyrrhiza glabra (1.66%), Zingiber officinale (1.66%) by 20 μL/100 gram effect addition had been investigated on sensory, physicochemical, phytochemical according optimal formulation. main...
Aims: Prostate cancer is the most common form of in male. Epidemiological studies have associated increased incidence with reduced consumption fruit and vegetables. This study was aimed to investigate influence dwarf pomegranate extracts (peel, juice, seeds oil) on proliferation apoptosis human prostate androgen-independent cell line DU145. Methods: The viability determined by MTT assay. Morphological changes are detected light microscopy. ELISA assay used evaluate nuclear DNA fragmentation...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality index, functional groups changes, and antimicrobial activity ozonized pomegranate seeds oil (OPSO). Results have shown that peroxide acidity values were increased with ozonation times. FT-IR 1 H NMR analyses samples confirmed chain scission at C = bonds fatty acid chains during formation new carbonyl compounds such as aldehyde, 1,2,4-trioxolane. reaction improves antibacterial non-ozonized PSO. These results make an open door applications OPSO.
Abstract Background A high-sugar or/and high-fat diets is a major risk factors for obesity. However, increased fruit and vegetable intake has been recently linked to obesity prevention. The aim of the present study was investigate preventive effects pomegranate leaves (PL), juice (PJ) peel (PP) extracts, on insulin resistance oxidative stress in high fat fructose diet-induced obese rats. Methods Obesity rats induced by consumption diet saturated (HFD) long period (12 weeks). Results Compared...
Platelet aggregation and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) oxidative stress are known as key factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases diabetic complications. In this context, fruit vegetable consumption, good sources antioxidant compounds have been largely reported an effective way preventing human against these diseases. The current study focuses on evaluation antioxidant, antiplatelet anti-glycation activities pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) flowers (PF), leaves (PL),...
The effect of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) on the oxidative stability corn oil during heating was studied. Oxidation followed by determining peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine (p-AV), free fatty acid (FFA), conjugated dienes (CD), trienes hydroperoxides (CT) and calculated total oxidation (TOTOX). Polyphenol (TPC) ortho-diphenol (TOPC) contents as well antioxidant activity each sample were evaluated before after heating. PPE showed a significant inhibitory lipid oxidation. Heating samples...
