Antioxidant Properties And Anti-Cancer Effects Of Polyphenols In Sweetpotato Leaves, Josue Bolanos
Antioxidant Properties And Anti-Cancer Effects Of Polyphenols In Sweetpotato Leaves, Josue Bolanos
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Although the root is widely consumed, sweetpotato leaves (SPL) are often discarded and are only consumed in a few countries. In the United States, SPL consumption is limited to private gardens, particularly in the Southeastern United States. Not only are SPL a good source of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, but they also contain polyphenol compounds including the caffeoylquinic acid derivatives and carotenoids such as lutein. Several studies have shown the polyphenol contents and antioxidant capacities of SPL, which vary based on year and variety, while few studies have shown anti-colon cancer effects of SPL. Therefore, this study investigated …

In order to understand the comprehensive nutritional value of Guangxi chestnut growing in Counties Tiane, Longlin and Longan, the nutritional components, antioxidant components and processing characteristics of raw and cooked chestnut were compared and analyzed. The results showed that the quality of chestnut varies with the place of production and the state of ripeness. The cooked chestnut had a darker color, higher fat, amino acid content and water holding capacity, while the raw chestnut had higher soluble protein and vitamin C (VC) content, and stronger ability of scavenging free-radical and oil-holding capacity. However, the raw chestnut exhibited the …

In order to determine the nutritional quality and antioxidant activity of melon seed oil, the oil was extracted from the dried Leping melon seeds seed by solvent method, and its basic physical and chemical indexes were measured. The fatty acid composition, triglyceride, tocopherol, and sterol composition of melon seed oil were analyzed by the method of GC(gas chromatography) and LC(liquid chromatography), and its antioxidant activity was evaluated. The results showed that the basic physical and chemical indexes of Leping melon seed oil met the national standard of edible oil; fatty acid analysis revealed that the content of unsaturated fatty acid …
Extraction And Antioxidant Activities Of Polyphenol From Magnolia Kwangsiensis Figlar & Noot. Branch, Zheng Yan-Fei, Zhang Qiang, Lan Liang-Mei, Xu Jian-Ben, Huang Qiu-Ping, Lin Yi-Na
Extraction And Antioxidant Activities Of Polyphenol From Magnolia Kwangsiensis Figlar & Noot. Branch, Zheng Yan-Fei, Zhang Qiang, Lan Liang-Mei, Xu Jian-Ben, Huang Qiu-Ping, Lin Yi-Na
Food and Machinery
The extraction of polyphenols from the branches of Magnolia kwangsiensis figlar & noot. (M. kwangsiensis) was studied by ultrasonic-assisted extraction. The extraction condition was optimized by response surface methodology. The antioxidant activities of M. kwangsiensis branch polyphenols were evaluated in aspect of total antioxidant activity, DPPH· scavenging activity and ·OH scavenging effect. Results showed the optimum conditions were acetone concentration 67%, liquid-solid ratio 22 (mL/g), extraction time 20 min, and the yield of polyphenols reached 1.45%. The polyphenols from the branches of M. kwangsiensis had certain total antioxidant activity, but had good scavenging effects on DPPH· and ·OH.

The antioxidant activity and content of bioactive substances, including γ- aminobutyric acid, epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallate, saponins and polyphenols, in black quinoa, red quinoa and white quinoa were studied in this study. The results showed that, after 72 h germination treatment, the content of γ-aminobutyric acid in black, red and white quinoa increased to 110.10, 157.40 and 135.70 mg/100 g at maximum, respectively. The increase rate of the epicatechin was the biggest, and they were found to be 7.11, 5.32 and 1.32 times, respectively. Among which, the content of epigallocatechin gallate increased by 4.23, 2.79 and 3.29 times, respectively. In …

Food and Machinery
In order to investigate the antioxidation and antibacterial effect of polyphenols from Lyophyllum Cinoraseens Konr & Maubl, crude polyphenols after ultrasonic-assisted ethanol extraction purified polyphenols with macroporous resin were used as raw materials to study the scavenging effect for ·OH, O · and DPPH· and antibacterial effect by the filter paper disc method. The results showed that crude polyphenols and purified polyphenols from Lyophyllum Cinoraseens Konr & Maubl both exhibit the scavenging effect for ·OH, O · and DPPH·, and there presented certain dose-effect relationship between scavenging ability and the concentration of polyphenols. Crude polyphenols and purified polyphenols showed …
