Antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of various extracts from defatted wheat germ

Assessment of effect of hydroalcoholic and decoction methods on extraction of antioxidants from selected Indian medicinal plants

“…Many of the phenolics have been shown to contain high levels of antioxidant activities [41] . Among the six plants investigated in the present work, M. zapota had considerably greater total phenol content, and methanol was able to extract more phenolic compounds than aqueous, which is also supported by other researchers [42][43][44] . It is important to examine the correlation between the content of total phenols and the antioxidant potential because some authors have reported that there is no correlation between the content of phenolic compound and the radical scavenging capacity [22,45] .…”

Wheat Germ: An Overview on Nutritional Value, Antioxidant Potential and Antibacterial Characteristics

“…The antioxidative activity of DWG was close to that of synthetic antioxidants BHA and BHT. A similar trend was observed in a study of the antioxidant activity of the field horsetail (tsukushi) Equisetum arvense L. extracts [19]. The EC 50 (meaning the concentration that causes a decrease in the initial DPPH concentration by 50%) is a parameter widely used to measure the antiradical efficiency, which was obtained by interpolation from linear regression analysis.…”

“…The antioxidant activity of tocopherols is well documented. Other unsaponifiable components including sterols, carotenoids and squalene may protect the unsaturated fatty acids from being rancid as well [19].…”

Cold atmospheric plasma manipulation of proteins in food systems

“…It may be categorized as thermal or non-thermal plasma, depending on its density and electron temperature (Zhu et al, 2011). All types of plasma---including high, atmospheric, and low-pressure plasmas, have a broad spectrum of applications in different fields, such as textile (Huang et al, 2013;Malshe et al, 2013), electronics (He et al, 2013), life sciences (Pröfrock and Prange, 2012), packaging (Guillard et al, 2010;Pankaj et al, 2014a), dental applications (Hoffmann et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2014), sterilization (Lerouge et al, 2001;Moisan et al, 2002;Akitsu et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2006;De Geyter and Morent, 2012;Klämpfl et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2013;Ziuzina et al, 2013;Cui et al, 2016), plasma medicines (Weltmann et al, 2012;Laroussi, 2014), and food processing (Banu et al, 2012).…”
