This study investigated the phenolic composition of Moringa oleifera organ extracts via RP-HPLC. In addition, their antioxidant and insecticidal potential were assessed. Polyphenols, flavonoids condensed tannin levels depend on different plant parts. Phenolic was distinguished by presence quercetin-3-O-galactoside as major compound with high activity due to composition. So, repellent proprieties against two stored pest species Tribolium castaneum Sitophilus oryzae without food substrate...
In this study, a new starch has been isolated from acorn (Quercus ilex) fruits. The chemical composition of flour showed its richness in carbohydrates (64.43%), proteins (8%), and fat (10%). extraction yield was about 34.5%. Thus, the extracted physical functional properties were studied. Acorn had high purity represented by low proportions (0.92%) lipids (0.51%) with pH 5.3. swelling power 20.76 g/g, while solubility 64.22% at 90°C which suggests that potential for use food industries....
In this study Cichorium intybus L. roots were tested for its chemical composition, antioxidant activity, and phenolic profile. Optimization of ultrasonic inulin extraction using response surface methodology (RSM) was further investigated. Chicory found to have high value total carbohydrates (70.43%), soluble fiber (66.93), Neutral detergent (NDF) (33.07%), potassium (380 mg/100g), calcium (540 mg/100g) sodium (140 mg/100g). exhibit a content flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins. Antioxidant...
Zizyphus lotus, which belongs to Rhamnaceae family, has been widely used formulate many healthy food products. The aim of this work was new functional cookies enriched with different amounts lotus powder (ZLP; 15%, 30%, 45% and 100%). chemical properties ZLP were also determined. formulated evaluated for their physicochemical, textural sensory characteristics. Results revealed that contained various bioactive components, fatty acids, antioxidants. ZLP-added demonstrated higher phytochemical...
