"Medicinal Herbs, Strong Source of Antioxidant in Aquaculture: A Mini Review"

Abstract

Carotenoids are organic pigments produced mostly by plants which can be found in flowers and leafy parts of Herbs, [10] varying in color from yellow, orange and red. Carotenoids are strong antioxidants with scavenging potential of free radicals. They provide protection against oxidative damage to cells. Herbs that are rich in carotenoids may have an immune stimulant function. They also possess slight anti-inflammatory action and can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer [11]. Lycopene, is a red colored carotenoid found in many fruits, vegetables and herbs. Having a high number of conjugated dienes, recommends lycopene as the most potent antioxidant, with radical quenching ability twice more than β-carotene and 10 times higher than those recorded from α-tocopherol [12]. In agreements, lycopene plays a crucial role in preventing from serious diseases such as cancer, hypertension and cardiovascular disease and lead to improve immune function and normal metabolic reactions.Carotenoids are known to have a various function in fish. Fish do not have the ability to synthesize carotenoids, they must obtain these compounds from their diets [13]. Carotenoids are usually transferred and deposited in different tissues including skin (as

Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure Extraction on Biological Activities and Phenolics Composition of Winter Savory Leaf Extracts

“…tripernoids) seem to be extracted using pressurized methods such as supercritical fluids, with it being possible that HPE may help to extract some of those compounds, which would have a direct impact on the bioactivities studied here. Nonetheless, the antioxidant activity measured by DNA assay, presented a high rho-value for total phenolic compounds, probably due to the presence of tuberonic acid glucoside, the isomer of salvianolic acid B, 4-butoxyphenol, sagerinic acid, and salvianolic acid A, since those phenolic acids were already reported to act as cell protectors against oxidative stress by several authors [ 48 , 49 , 50 ].…”

Effects of dietary methanolic extract of hyssop, Hyssopus officinalis, on growth performance, hepatic antioxidant, humoral and intestinal immunity, and intestinal bacteria of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

“…Plant extracts have antioxidant capacity and high capability to donate hydrogen atoms to electrons and free electrons and this property is due to the existence of phenolic compounds in herbs (Jeney et al, 2015). Moreover, plant extracts have been found to stimulate the activity of the antioxidant enzymes in fish, although the exact underlying mechanisms are not clear yet (Mohiseni, 2017). These capabilities make plant extract supplementation one of the functional approaches to reduce oxidative stress in animals.…”

“…Plants are rich sources of antioxidant compounds; as a result, one of the main benefits of dietary herbal additives is the improvement of the antioxidant system and a reduction of oxidative stress (Mohiseni, 2017;Abdel-Latif et al, 2020a;Abdel-Latif et al, 2020b). The liver has high metabolic rate and is the main organ of detoxification; hence, it possesses high antioxidant capacities (Hoseini et al, 2022b).…”

Profiling of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of aquatic weedIpomoea aquatica

“…In aqua farming system, fishes must fight against several stressors, namely, physical, chemical and biological stressors. When the quantity exceeds the threshold level, normal homeostasis will be distorted, and it can permute fish physiology (Mohiseni, 2017). ROS are primarily responsible for these stresses.…”
