The purpose of this study is to determine the total content of phenols, flavonoids, and condensed tannins, as well as on the antioxidant activity of the extract, and their fractions were measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), phosphomolybdate reduction (or total antioxidant capacity), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The hydromethanolic extract of Salvia officinalis showed the highest values of total phenolic (176 mgGAE/g of extract) and condensed tannins (162.53 mgEC/g of extract) from the Boulemane and Khenifra regions, respectively. The results showed that the best DPPH assay was found in the ethyl acetate fraction of Salvia officinalis leaves of the Boulemane region (IC50 = 0.002 mg/ml). For the ethyl acetate and butanolic fractions of Salvia officinalis leaves, those collected from different regions have a better reducing capacity (EC50 = 0.021 mg/ml, respectively). For the total antioxidant capacity, the best activity was found in the aqueous fraction of Salvia officinalis leaves of the Boulemane region (108 mgGAE/g of extract). By the cyclic voltammetry method, hydromethanolic extract of Salvia officinalis leaves from the Boulemane region showed an important result (288.8 mgGAE/g). There was a positive correlation between total phenol content (TPC), condensed tannin content (TCT), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) (r = 0.932, r = 0.896, respectively). The main compounds that have been identified in the hydromethanolic extract of Salvia officinalis are ascorbic acid, gallic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, tannic acid, and rutin. Due to their antioxidant property, the leaf extracts from Salvia officinalis are used as natural preservative ingredients in food and/or pharmaceutical industries.

Tea is the most widely consumed and popular non-alcoholic beverage in the world. Reactive oxygen spices may cause wide range of damages to biological systems. Purpose of this study was to determine the total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic of different black tea samples in Iran. The FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay was used for antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content was measured based on the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results showed that all samples had substantial antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. Iranian tea samples had significantly the lowest 0.98 ± 0.15, 0.75 ± 0.17 µmoll-1 and Kenya tea samples had significantly the highest 2.67 ± 0.61, 2.10 ± 0.65 µmoll-1 amount of total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic, respectively. A linear positive relationship was observed between the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the black tea samples. These findings suggest that black tea can be considered as natural source of antioxidant and total phenolic compounds.

The main objective aimed to compare in vitro antioxidant power of different recipes of Thai herbal teas including of Tatirot, Krajeab, Kamfoi, and Kesorn Bua. The ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay was used to measure the total antioxidant power of freshly brewed tea. Results showed that different Thai tea recipes had slightly different in vitro antioxidant power. The herbal teas recipe was expressed as µM of antioxidant power/g of dried Thai tea recipes. Values ranges as 555.62±0.77-908.43±0.69 µM/1g of Thai herbal tea, especially Krajeab tea showed strongly antioxidant of 908.43±0.69 µM/1g of tea when compared with other samples. Therefore, it has confirmed that the antioxidant power of Thai herbal tea recipes is considerably intermediate activity than vitamin C

The aim of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant activity of dried fruit extracts of Zizyphus jujubaMill. Polyphenols and flavonoids content determined in aqueous extract (aq), hydromethanolic (EM), hydroacetonic (EA) extracts, and their ethyl acetate (Acet) andn-butanol (n-but) fractions reveal variable rates; 42.84–94.70 mg gallic acid equivalent per g extract and 47.02–427.33 mg catechin equivalent per g extract. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by different assays using total antioxidant capacity, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), β-carotene bleaching assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). In DPPH assay, all extracts showed an interesting scavenging effect, an estimated reduction rate about 75.58–97.71% was determined with the IC50(the half maximal inhibitory concentration) values ranging from 12 to 503.6 μg/ml. In β-carotene bleaching assay, 500 μg/ml of each extract showed a large inhibition (51.14–85.01%) with IC50values ranging from 48 to 462 μg/ml compared to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and tannic acid 0.6, 2.00, and 461 μg/ml, respectively. The results of FRAP show that the crude extracts (aq ˃ EM ˃ EA) are less efficient than their fractions (Acet/aq˃ Acet/EA˃n-but/EA) which demonstrate an important activity. Concerning total antioxidant capacity essay (TAC), the highest capacity was noticed for Acet/aq (71.98 μg gallic acid equivalents [GAE]/mg extract) and Acet/EA extract (64.62 μg GAE/mg of extract). The antioxidant activity of dried fruit extracts ofZ. jujubais mainly related to its polyphenol content essentially on flavonoids, which qualifies this species as a source of natural antioxidant.

Eleven advanced strawberry lines (‘SJ011‑10’, ‘SJ0440‑2’, ‘SJ061‑8’, ‘SJ066‑3’, ‘SJ069‑3’, ‘SJ069‑12’, ‘SJ0814‑37’, ‘SJ8518‑11’, ‘K04‑12’, ‘LL0220‑10’ and ‘V151’) were evaluated for their yield, fruit quality, total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity, and phenolic composition, and were compared with a commercial cultivar (‘Wendy’). The results showed that ‘SJ069‑3’ had excellent soluble solids content, mid-level titratable acidity, low weight loss, and the best firmness among all the cultivars. Higher total antioxidant capacity was found in ‘SJ069‑3’, according to ferric reducing antioxidant power and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays, an indication that ‘SJ069‑3’ is a promising new cultivar for the fresh market. In addition to rich individual phenolics, ‘SJ061‑8’ had the highest total antioxidant capacity, which was significantly different from the other genotypes, suggesting the potential use of this line as parent material in breeding or as a functional food ingredient. There was a strong relationship between total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content, according to Folin–Ciocalteu, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and oxygen radical absorbance capacity assays. This study confirms that anthocyanins are major phenolic compounds contributing to the main antioxidant power of strawberries.
