Wild Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) is a Mediterranean plant that rich in bioactive metabolites. This study aimed to validate, for the first time, beneficial use of VAC fruits and fruit decoctions (VFDs) through vitro vivo trials. Forty-one volatile components were detected fruits, with 1,8-cineole (30.3%) comprising majority. The antioxidant activity VFD was measured by using different methods (EC50 0.16 mg/mL β-carotene bleaching inhibition assay) measuring DNA protection power. Using disc...
Roots and rhizomes of Asparagus stipularis Forssk were separately extracted using supercritical CO2 extraction (SCCO2) pressurized liquid (PLE) their Total Phenols Content antioxidant potential was investigated. The results indicated that the roots are a source natural antioxidants. PLE method gave better yields than SFE its fractions present highest activity. Direct evaluation capacity QUENCHER procedure showed also solid residue plant material remaining after SCCO2 may be interest as...
The nutritional values, the identification of individual phenolic compounds as well functional properties (in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pancreatic lipase inhibition) Tunisian Feijoa sellowiana (O.Berg) leaves were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array mass spectrometry detector. Sellowiana Extract (FSLE) evaluated in present work. Macronutrient components (proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, lipids, ashes) FSLE their fatty acids mineral...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity Opuntia microdasys at post flowering stage, F3 (OMF3) in rat and, other hand, its antigenotoxic effects by Allium cepa test. Methods OMF3 extracts were screened for using, respectively, acetic acid writhing test mice carrageenan-induced paw oedema assay rats. has been evaluated A. Key findings showed a higher 100 mg/kg (72.03% 70.11%) as determined tests acid-induced oedema, respectively....
The nutritional values and phytochemical composition of young shoots wild Asparagus stipularis Forssk. from Tunisia were determined in this study. antioxidant (tested by four different vitro assays) antiproliferative properties (against human tumour cell lines) aqueous hydroalcoholic extracts the also investigated. obtained results indicated that are a potential source valuable nutrients dietary fiber, their extract showed marked activities all tested assays. major phenolic compound,...
