The present study was aimed to evaluate biochemical and phytotochemical of dry leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. Biochemical analysis indicated that Stevia leaves are a good source of carbohydrate and reducing sugar. Different extraction methods were used to prepare four different dry extracts (Extract A, B, C, D). Total soluble sugars and reducing sugars were analyzed for these four dry extracts and commercial Stevia powder. The highest amount of total soluble sugar (477 mg sugar g-1 dry extract) was obtained from extract C and higher amount of reducing sugar (82 mg g-1 dry extract) was obtained from extract D among the extracts. But commercial Stevia powder showed higher total soluble sugar content (754 mg g-1 dry powder) and highest amount of reducing sugar (98 mg g-1 dry extract) than all the extracted dry samples. The extraction process of dry extract C was feasible for the extraction of total soluble sugar. For the phytochemical screening, crude extract was tested for the presence of different chemical groups and presence of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides and saponins that were identified. The highest amount of total phenolic compounds (92 mg) was recorded from methanolic extract of extraction B. The lowest amount of total phenolic compounds (36 mg) was recorded in ethanolic extract of extraction A. So, Methanol proved as best solvent to extract increased quantity of total phenolic compounds than other solvents.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2016, 2(1): 121-130

The contents, composition and radical scavenging capacity of phenolic compounds from parsnips of various root weights grown in Serbia were examined. The content of phenolic compounds depended on root size, and the highest content was in the group where the samples with the lowest root size were grouped. The content of phenolic compounds varied from 109.7 to 125.3 μmol of chlorogenic acid per g dry extract, i.e.5470.8 to 6245.1 mg per kg fresh weight. Among the identified compounds were quercetin, kaempferol, apigenin and genkwanin glucosides and hydroxycinnamic and caffeoylshikimic acids. The highest antioxidant capacity was found for the group with the lowest root weight; the IC50 values ranged from 1.59 to 2.49 mg mL–1. There was positive correlation between the total phenolic content and scavenging capacity, and the kaempferol glucosides content could be an indicator of DPPH scavenging capacity of parsnip roots.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of temperature on the content of bioactive compounds of fruits of guabiju (Myrcianthes pungens (O. Berg) D. Legrand). The peel, pulp and seed of fresh guabiju were analyzed in relation to physical-chemical composition, metals, color, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins, vitamin C and antioxidant activity. On the dehydrated samples at temperature of 60 °C, where also determined the moisture and water activity. The fractions of the fruit showed high amounts of metals. After drying, moisture of 1.3, 1.0 and 0.9% were observed for peel, pulp and seed and water activity of 0.44 to 0.54. All the samples darkened, with less variation in the dehydrated peel (∆E 9.2). The samples showed high values of bioactive compounds, and in the fresh peel were observed higher levels of phenolic compounds (8459.8 mg EGA/100g dry extract), anthocyanins (152.0 mg/100 dry extract) and vitamin C (222.9 mg/100g) and on the dehydrated seed higher value of flavonoids (7480.7 mg EQ/100g dry extract). There was 86.3% degradation of anthocyanins in the dehydrated peel. The best values of antioxidant activities were obtained for the dehydrated peel (IC50 1.37 mg/mL), seed (IC50 1.49 mg/mL) and in the fresh peel (IC50 1.41 mg/mL).

Abstract The objective of this work was to investigate the variability of physicochemical parameters, phenolic compounds and in vitro antioxidant activity of propolis collected from different apiaries in southeastern Mexico. A high variability was found in the moisture content (1.96–8.26%), ash (0.66–5.50%) and sensory characteristics of raw propolis from southeastern Mexico, but the raw propolis samples met the requirements of the quality regulations. In the same way, most of the ethanolic extracts also complied with the quality regulations. Of all the extracts, PE2 obtained from Santa Cruz showed the highest values for dry extract, content of total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoids (TF) and antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS). The content of the individual phenolic compounds varied according to the geographical location of the apiary, but the PE2 extract resulted in the highest pinocembrin and chrysin content. A positive correlation was obtained between TPC and TF with antioxidant activity. Propolis extracts were classified into two groups through principal component analysis (PCA). These results indicate that the apiary location in southeastern Mexico influenced the characteristics of propolis.

Introduction. Horehound (Marrubium vulgare, Lamiaceae) is a widely used plant in traditional medicine used for prevention and treatment of various diseases. High content of phenolic compounds makes it a significant source of natural antioxidants. The aim of this research was to examine in vitro antioxidant properties and anticholinesterase activity of horehound water-alcoholic extract, followed by preliminary chemical characterization of horehound. Material and Methods. The in vitro antioxidant potentials of horehound water-alcoholic extract were assessed using several antioxidant testsystems (neutralization of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl, and nitroso radical, determination of ferric reducing potential, as well as inhibition of lipid peroxidation). Preliminary chemical profiling of the extract included estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid contents, while anticholinesterase potential of the examined extract was evaluated by spectrophotometry. Results. The amounts of total phenolics and total flavonoids in the obtained extract were 59.87 ? 7.31 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of dry extract and 14.47 ? 0.54 mg quercetin equivalents/g of dry extract respectively. Furthermore, significant antioxidant potential was noticed in the ferric reducing potential assay (64.07 ? 2.68 mg ascorbic acid equivalents/g of dry extract), while concentrations needed for neutralization of 50% (IC50) of generated 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, nitroso and hydroxyl were 13.41 ?g/mL, 64.86 ?g/mL and 63.99 ?g/mL, respectively. The potential of the extract to inhibit lipid peroxidation process was modest (IC50 = 823.82 ?g/mL), while in the case of anticholinesterase potential, the recorded IC50 value was 2821.15 ?g/mL. Conclusion. Horehound represents a significant natural antioxidant, mostly as a result of high levels of phenolic compounds. In addition, the examined ethanol extract has a certain anticholinesterase activity.
