Background: Estrogen depletion alters bone mineralization and oxidative stress. Antioxidants like humic acids (HA) may help mitigate demineralization redox imbalances. Thus, this study evaluated the effects of HA on mineral composition stress markers in an experimental menopause model. Methods: Twenty-four female C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups (n = 6/group): Sham; Sham + HA; Ovariectomized (OVX); OVX HA. The model was induced by bilateral ovariectomy at beginning experiment....
This study presents a new formulation of cellulose acetate bionanocomposites impregnated with hybrid nanoclay and clove essential oil its evaluation in the preservation cooked ham. The properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, colorimetry, mechanical tests, antioxidant antimicrobial activity, as well application ham samples. morphological analysis indicated good dispersion films, presence caused water vapor permeability to decrease. There was an increase properties. A...
Fruits and vegetables are major sources of bioactive compounds included in human diet. The objective the study was to evaluate antioxidant activity total phenolic compound content lychee pulp. Hydroalcoholic extracts were obtained from pulp (fresh, dried freeze-dried), analyzed by vitro Folin-Ciocalteu, Fast Blue, ABTS+, Beta Carotene Phosphomolybdenum Complex assays. color water submitted each dehydration treatment also evaluated. results determination did not differ statistically...
A Lycium barbarum popularmente conhecida como goji berry, é um fruto com potente atividade antioxidante devido à presença de flavonóides, porém, sabe-se que diversos fatores podem alterar a quantidade destes compostos em alimentos. Tendo vista esses aspectos, esse trabalho teve objetivo investigar as propriedades antioxidantes in vitro, teor vitamina C e fenólicos totais presentes diferentes formas apresentação deste desidratado, sendo elas: inteiro granel, sachê, pote forma farinha. Foram...
