Abstract Background Well-known medicinal plants Ricinus communis Linn. and Euphorbia hirta Linn. have been traditionally used to treat a variety of ailments in the India and other countries. Objective In present research, a simple, rapid, reliable and accessible HPTLC technique has been established for concurrent quantification of phenolic compounds (syringic acid and vanillic acid)and evaluation of their anti-oxidant capacity. Method The chromatographic separation was conceded on pre-coated silica gel plates F254 as the stationary phase. The appropriate mobilephasecombination toluene: ethyl acetate: formic acid (7:2.5:0.5 v/v/v) were developed to expand the plates which separated components according to the marker compounds. Further, the anti-oxidant potential of methanol extract R. communis (MERC) and E. hirta (MERH) were also assessed with (DPPH) by using UV spectrophotometer. Results Densitometric scanning was performed by Camag scanner V and measured at two different wave length 272 nm and 318 nm. The marker compounds were practically resolved with RF 0.5 ± 0.04 for syringic acid and 0.6 ± 0.06 for vanillic acid. The results obtained in the study of anti-oxidant activity of methanol extract R. communis(MERC) and E. hirta (MERH) were showed significant free radical scavenging capacity against DPPH generated free radicals. Conclusions The developed HPTLC method was validated for accuracy, linearity, precision, and specificity. Both the extract has revealed considerable antioxidant activity.

The study examined the nutritional composition and sensory attributes of cookie. In this study, blends of commercial wheat (CWF), yellow maize flours (YMF) and African walnut protein isolate (AWPI) were optimized for cookie production. The cookies were studied in a completely randomized design and assessment of the proximate composition was conducted. The best cookie samples with high protein and fiber, low fat and highest rating in sensory attributes were selected for the determination of vitamins and mineral composition. The result revealed that the control cookie was highest in moisture, fat and carbohydrate but lower in protein, ash and fibre. Enriched cookie 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI and 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI were highest in protein and fibre, respectively while 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI was low in fat. Overall acceptability was highest in control cookie followed by enriched cookie 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI. The vitamin composition of the selected enriched samples show that sample 42.86g CWF, 42.86g YMF, 14.29g AWPI had the highest value of 2.53 mg/100 g in ascorbic acid; sample 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI scored the highest value of 0.14, 0.07 and 1.33 mg /100 g in thiamine, riboflavin and niacin respectively, while sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI scored highest in vitamin A (276.67 mg/100g). The cookie sample 36.69g CWF, 39.57g YMF, 23.74g AWPI shows the highest values of 130.00, 0.043, 9.77, 333.33 and 85.00 for calcium, manganese, iron, sodium and phosphorus, respectively. The study recommends the use of flour proportion in sample 55.56g CWF, 33.33g YMF, 11.11g AWPI as an improvement of the nutritional and sensory attributes of enriched cookie.

The quantification of a plant, which is vital in medication bearing antioxidant activity of the North West area of the province Balochistan Ebenus Stellata family Fabaceae is explained in this paper. The plant composition was determined chemically through well-known four analytical tests and sensitive EMR operating techniques. The crude extract was obtained from the plant by using methanol, and the antioxidant activity of that extract was measured. Additionally, with the help of spectrophotometer, antioxidant potentials were determined through the DPPH (2, 2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) assay, Ferric ion (Fe+3) reducing antioxidant power assay, Ferric (Fe+3) reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) assay, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the phosphomolybdenum assay. The potency of the DPPH assay ofEbenus Stellatawas 179 mg/g ofascorbic acid concentration. Moreover, the FRAP and TAC values were 9.2mg and 35 mg of ascorbic acid/g ofEbenus stellate extract, respectively. Furthermore, RP denotes 2.6 mg/g of ascorbic acid concentration.

The present study was dedicated to the study of the chemical composition and the antioxidant activity of the essential oils from the sawdust of Tetraclinis articulata in Morocco (from Khemisset region). The yield of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from sawdust was 2.19%. The determination of the chemical composition of Tetraclinis articulata essential oils (TAEO) was carried out by GC-SM analysis. The results that 22 volatile compounds were identified in the sawdust part of T. articulata, representing 87.25% of the total composition. The study of TAEO antioxidant activity was assessed by three different methods: the trapping of free radical DPPH, bleaching assay ABTS, and the reduction of iron (FRAP). The results of DPPH test showed that TAEO (IC50=0.0144 mg/mL) has a very interesting antioxidant activity compared to the ascorbic acid used as reference (IC50=0.0184 mg/mL). These results reveal promising prospects for the future exploitation of TAEO as a potential source of natural antioxidant substances that may be used for future investigations.

The aim of this study was to determine the changes of antioxidant activity and antioxidative compounds during table olive preparing by different procedures. The extraction of antioxidants from table olive is studied considering different debittering procedure (alkali treated or brine treated) to investigate the selectivity of the process. The radical-scavenging activity (RSA) of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and determination of the antioxidant compounds (total phenol, ascorbic acid and tocopherol) are applied to evaluate the antioxidant activity and antioxidative compounds of table olive. The active compounds and DPPH-RSA decreased during table olive preparation. A large amount of the active compounds lost during “alkali treated” except tocopherol. Little amount of the active compounds remained in “brine treated” table olive.
