Phytochemical Content and Antioxidant Activity of Vinegar Prepared from Four Apple Varieties by Different Methods

Abstract

several chemical compounds of nutritional value and bioactive molecules such as carotenoids, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, and vitamins. [1][2][3] Vinegar can be used for several purposes, such as salad condiments or food preservation, and has found applications in the field of traditional medicine as a disinfectant or cosmetic product. 4,5 It can be used to reduce hyperglycemia, correct dyslipidemia, and help to reduce body weight. 6,7 Research on vinegar has shown that it has antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities, as well as the capacity to inhibit the action of a set of some pathogens. 8,9 The therapeutic properties of vinegar include anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and anti-cancer effects. 1 It is also recognized for its ability to decrease blood pressure, 10 prevent lipid peroxidation, nucleic acid damage, inflammation, and improve neurological complications in Alzheimer's disease (AD) via regulation of oxidative stress markers. 11

Phytochemical, Antioxidant Activity, and Toxicity of Wild Medicinal Plant of Melitotus albus Extracts, In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

“…Milligrams of quercetin equivalents (mg of QE/g of DW) per gram of dry weight were used to indicate the total flavonoid content of each extract. Using quercetin as the reference, the calibration curve was created. , …”

“…10 M. albus has been shown to contain high levels of coumarins, 11 which explains their use in traditional medicine as an anticoagulant agent and as ointments for external ulcers. 12 In recent years, the use of medicinal plants has been supported and encouraged, but measuring antioxidant activity is crucial to obtaining their health advantages. To the best of our knowledge, there are no further studies on the antioxidant activity and toxicological activity of the Moroccan M. albus leaves.…”

Contribution to the Evaluation of Physicochemical Properties, Total Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Potential, and Antimicrobial Activity of Vinegar Commercialized in Morocco

“…The polyphenol content in vinegar is known for its considerable biological effect on the human body as an antioxidant agent involved in several biological processes [ 4 , 21 ]. The major phenolic compounds that can be found in vinegar are phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins, and stilbenoids [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, vinegar is rich in mineral and volatile compounds [ 6 ].…”
