“…This assay is used in order to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of a sample as ROO• constitute components of autoxidation and can be easily formed by the decomposition of azo compounds (66). a previous study demonstrated the high efficiency of six forest honeys in inhibiting ROO radicals compared to other types, such as chestnut and heather honeys (67).…”

Honey is a complex mixture, containing ~180 compounds, produced by the Apis melifera bees, with promising antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. nevertheless, the mechanisms through which honey exerts its effects remain under investigation. Plant antioxidants are found in honey and other bee products exhibiting a high bioactivity and molecular diversity. The aim of the present study was to estimate the antioxidant capacity of honey collected from areas in Greece by small-scale producers by i) using in vitro cell free assays; and ii) by investigating the effects of honey varieties on the redox status of a liver cancer cell line (HepG2) using non-cytotoxic concentrations. The findings of the present study will allow for the identification of Greek honeys with promising antioxidant capacity. For this purpose, six types of honey with various floral origins were examined in cell-free assays followed by cell-based techniques using flow cytometric analysis and redox biomarker level determination in order to evaluate the potential alterations in the intracellular redox system.The results indicated various mechanisms of action that are dependent on the honey type, concentration dependency and high antioxidant capacity. The extended findings from the literature confirm the ability of raw honey to influence the redox status of HepG2 cells. nevertheless additional investigations are required to elucidate their mechanisms of action in cell line models.

“…Flavonoids were found in an amount of 0.36±0.01 mg rutin equivalents g -1 d.w. According to Tahirović et al 32 , the total amount of phenols in S. montana herbal tea infusion was 78.5±23.49 mg GA 100 mL -1 . On the other hand, Chrpová et al 24 , found a lower amount of phenols (27.1 mg GA g -1 ).…”

Extensive use of synthetic insecticides, herbicides and other pesticides has negative effects on the environment and on human and animal health. Therefore, scientists are turning towards natural pesticides, such as active components of plant extracts. The effect of two concentrations (0.1 and 0.2 %) of a Satureja montana L. aqueous extract on the lipid peroxidation process, as well as on the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), pyrogallol peroxidase (PPX) and catalase (CAT) in the leaves and roots of pepper and black nightshade seedlings were examined 24, 72 and 120 h after treatment. The results showed that the higher concentration of S. montana aqueous extract induced lipid peroxidation in black nightshade roots. Furthermore, significant increases of pyrogallol and guaiacol peroxidase were detected in black nightshade leaves treated with 0.2 % of the S. montana aqueous extract. The second aim was to evaluate effectiveness of the aqueous extract as a contact toxicant against whitefly. It was observed that the 0.2% aqueous extract exhibited a toxic effect with 68.33 % mortality after 96 h.

“…According to the scientific literature, the latter compounds render honey a bio-functional food product with strong antibacterial [72], anti-inflammatory [73], and antioxidant [74,75] properties. The floral source, the location of the beehive, and the climate and soil conditions are significant parameters that affect the composition of honey in antioxidant compounds [76][77][78]. Herein, we mention previous studies that have examined the antioxidant properties of honey and honey-related products, using in vitro cell-free techniques.…”

In recent years, there has been a strong consumer demand for food products that provide nutritional benefits to human health. Therefore, the assessment of the biological activity is considered as an important parameter for the promotion of high-quality food products. Herein, we introduce a novel methodology comprising a complete set of in vitro cell-free screening techniques for the evaluation of the bioactivity of various food products on the basis of their antioxidant capacity. These assays examine the free radical scavenging activities, the reducing properties, and the protective ability against oxidative damage to biomolecules. The adoption of the proposed battery of antioxidant assays is anticipated to contribute to the holistic characterization of the bioactivity of the food product under examination. Consumer motivations and expectations with respect to nutritious food products with bio-functional properties drive the global food market toward food certification. Therefore, the development and application of scientific methodologies that examine the quality characteristics of food products could increase consumers’ trust and promote their beneficial properties for human health.
