Antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of seed extracts Origanum majorana was evaluated correlated with total phenolic content (TPC) condensed tannin (CTC). Ethanol, methanol, acetone chloroform were used to extract bioactive compounds from seeds at 45 °C for minutes. As compared other solvents, methanol seems be an important extraction solvent, as maximum amount (1.18 mg GAE/g dwb) antioxidant observed in methanolic extract. Total using Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (FC reagent)...
Discovery of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) solved out the mystery cellular functioning and abnormality in metabolism. Understanding coding DNA resulted enormous medical growth helps researchers finding genes which trigger major chronic diseases humans. Further, structural sequential analysis brought humans into a new era industry. The advancement understanding could be boon for agricultural sector as it allowed farmers/breeders to choose better varieties with disease resistant features. In...
Six different solvents were used as extraction medium (water, methanol, ethanol, acidified benzene and acetone) to check their phenolics efficacy from flour of two rye cultivars. Rye extracts with further analyzed for the estimation phytochemicals antioxidant properties. Different tests (TPC, TAC, DPPH, FRAP, ABTS, RPA CTC) performed properties tannin contents in extracts. A bioactive profile a cultivar indicated presence total phenolic compounds (0.08–2.62 mg GAE/g), capacity (0.9–6.8...
The experimental work on ready to serve Kinnow-Amla beverage was conducted check the effect of storage duration sensorial, physicochemical and antioxidant properties. Experimental during present study aimed prepare based blended beverages. Kinnow Amla juice in different proportion five samples or beverage. Beverage were studied terms their pH, total soluble solids, properties, titratable acidity, sensorial parameters. Samples stored for a period 90 days parameters studied. output from...
The present investigation searches for functional and antioxidant properties in proso millet starch films. Proso was studied its physical, chemical, morphological, properties. Furthermore, films were prepared from (native) a starch–ĸ-carrageenan blend. Both characterized moisture content, thickness, water-solubility, opacity, water vapor permeability, textural amylose absorption capacity, swelling, solubility power of the 19.19%, 87.5%, 15.32%, 19%, respectively. Compared to aqueous extracts...
Summary The present study envisaged the effect of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modification on rye starch. Different properties (amylose content, swelling, and solubility) starch before after OSA modifications were evaluated. swelling capacity increased from 12.96 to 21.72 modification. Amylose content solubility decreased 21.48%–15.39% 18.69%–11.64%, respectively. Further, as an application, plum fruits (uncoated coated with native OSA‐modified starch) selected check storage duration...
The current research was performed to check the effect of processing and storage duration on physicochemical bioactive profile Kinnow jam. Both native processed jams were stored for a period 75 days at 4°C. Processing jam significantly affects mineral profile. Due debittering treatment, concentration different minerals decreased. Processed showed higher amount phenolics (74.69 mg GAE/100 g) as compared natural (73 GAE/g). Storage results in an increment bitterness-causing compounds however,...
During the present study, Kinnow seeds were studied in terms of their bioactive profile and antioxidant properties. Seeds extracts prepared water, ethanol, ethanol (50%), methanol (50%) screened for compounds (condensed tannin total phenolic content) For estimation properties seed five assays [DPPH (2, 2 diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing power), ABTS, RPA (reducing power activity) TAC (total capacity)] was performed. Among those which showed significantly higher TPC value...
