Polish garlic and white red onions were subjected to blanching, boiling, frying, microwaving for different periods of time, then their bioactive compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids, flavanols, anthocyanins, tannins, ascorbic acid) antioxidant activities determined. It was found that blanching frying did not decrease significantly the amounts level (P > 0.05). The HPLC profiles free soluble ester- glycoside-bound phenolic acids showed trans-hydroxycinnamic (caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic,...

The aim of this study was to assess the bioactive compounds apple and pear peel pulp in vitro their influence on plasma lipids antioxidant potentials vivo. measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), β-carotene bleaching (β-carotene), nitric oxide inhibition radical scavenging (NO) tests were significantly higher than pulp, respectively. ethanol extract peels showed strongest lipid peroxidation as a function its concentration comparable activity butylated hydroxyanisole. had weakest...

The contents of the bioactive compounds in red and blond grapefruits their influence on humans suffering from hypertriglyceridemia were studied. It was found that grapefruit has a higher content antioxidant potential than grapefruit, determined by oxygen radical scavenging capacity, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, carotenoid bleaching, Folin−Ciocalteu assays. Fifty-seven hyperlipidemic patients, ages 39−72 years, after coronary bypass surgery, recruited Institute's pool volunteers, randomly...

In vitro and in vivo studies of the health nutritional properties durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) were compared with snake fruit (Salacca edulis Reinw.) mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana). Dietary fibers, minerals, trace metals comparable. Total polyphenols (mg GAE/100 g FW) flavonoids (85.1 ± 6.1) significantly higher (p < 0.05) than (217.1 13.2 CE/100 FW)), (309.7 19.3 61.2 4.9), (190.3 12.1 54.1 3.8). Antioxidant activity (μM TE/100 measured by DPPH ABTS assays (228.2 13.4 2016.3 81.1) was...

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an essential part of Polish, Ukrainian, and Israeli cuisine. The aim this investigation was to compare the changes in bioactive compounds, proteins, antioxidant potentials fresh garlic samples after subjection cooking temperature. Dietary fiber trace elements were comparable. determined by four scavenging methods using β-carotene, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO), 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt...

The aim of this investigation was to compare the influence naringin versus red grapefruit juice on plasma lipid levels and antioxidant activity in rats fed cholesterol-containing cholesterol-free diets. a correlated quantity higher than that naringin. Forty-two male Wistar were randomly divided into six groups 7 named control, naringin, grapefruit, Chol, Chol/naringin, Chol/grapefruit. control group basal diet (BD) 1-2 mL distilled water. To BD other five added 0.46-0.92 mg dissolved water...

The consumption of new exotic fruits, with their high nutritional and sensory value, has significantly increased in the past few years. Among tropical fruits durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) is less known than mango (Mangifera indica L.) avocado (Persea americana). It been shown that durian, possessed bioactive properties, but these data were determined using different methods. In order to obtain reliable results we investigated samples same stage ripeness unified methods used for...

Extracted total phenols, flavanols and flavonoids were measured in beer samples their quality as antioxidants was by two modified antioxidant methods: the 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) radical cation (ABTS •+) β-carotene-linoleate model system (β-carotene). It found that potential of well correlated with slightly lower polyphenols (R2 values from 0.8203 to 0.9393). Forty-two male non drinkers, hypercholesterolaemic volunteers ages 43–71 after coronary bypass surgery,...
