Background:Propolis contains compounds with antibacterial and antioxidant capacities, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of six propolis samples from northern Morocco and to determine their content of polyphenols and flavonoids.Methods:The total polyphenols and flavonoids of Ethanol Extracts (EEP) were evaluated by colorimetric assays. To test the antibacterial activity, the well diffusion and micro-dilution methods were adopted. The kinetic of bacterial growth in the presence of EEP was tested. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using three techniques: reducing power, β-carotene bleaching test, and DPPH scavenging capacity assay.Results:The EEPs were found to have high total phenolic content (65.09 - 122.00 mg GAE/g) and flavonoids (41.95 - 50.44 mg QE/g). The screening of the antibacterial activity showed that all tested bacteria were sensitive to EEP except Escherichia coli. The inhibitory zones varied from 11.50 ± 0.70 to 32.00 ± 0.70 mm, and MIC and MBC ranged from 0.07 to 5 mg/mL and 0.07 to >5 mg/mL, respectively. The antioxidant activity was proportional to the phenolic content of propolis. The IC50 varied from 48.70 to 156.00 mg/mL and the RAA% ranged from 75.07 to 96.68 %.

AbstractIn the present study, the objective was to evaluate the effects of barley kernel size, grind level, and extract solvent on the antioxidant activities associated with total phenolic content and phenolic acid compositions. Three barley varieties (Kindred, Azure, and Tradition), were used and the results showed that with the exception of superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, thin kernel size fraction (2.0 mm) showed much higher antioxidant activities and total phenolic content than those in the 2.4 mm and 2.8 mm fractions when averaged across barley cultivar, grind level, and extract solvent. A similar trend was found for individual phenolic acid compositions among kernel sizes. Simple correlation analysis revealed that total phenolic content showed strong correlation with DPPH· scavenging activity, ABTS + scavenging activity, and reducing power. Generally, fine grind and 80% acetone extract showed averaged highest values in antioxidant activities, total phenolic content, and individual phenolic acid compositions. Stepwise linear regression showed that extract solvent was the most important factor for DPPH· scavenging activity, ABTS + scavenging activity, reducing power, and iron chelating activity. The sum of syringic acid and caffeic acid exhibited a dominant role in explaining the major variation in antioxidant activities except for superoxide anion radical scavenging activity.

The methanol extract (ME) of the powdered bark of Glochidion multiloculare and its six vacuum liquid chromatographic (VLC) fractions (Fa-f) were investigated for antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. Only fractions Fc and Fd showed mild antimicrobial activity. Significant free radical (DPPH) scavenging activity was found in Ff (IC50 value = 9.27±0.117 ?g/ml). The total phenolic content was measured involving Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and it was the highest in fraction Fe (187.00±1.74 mg of GAE/gm of sample). Cytotoxicity (LC50) by brine shrimp lethality bioassay was found to be significant for Fb (0.023±0.001 ?g/ml), Fc (0.3±0.01 ?g/ml) and Fd (0.117±0.0015 ?g/ml).

The different colors of rice are contributed by various phenolic compounds, which have various health benefits. However, phenolic compounds, which are mostly existed in rice bran and easily lost during milling. Therefore, the consumption of unpolished rice is recommended to prevent from many diseases. The objective of this study is to determine total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant capacity and diabetic enzyme inhibition potential of the extracts of the different unpolished colored rices. Three kinds of unpolished colored rices (unpolished white rice, unpolished red rice and unpolished black rice) grown in Vietnam were used to extract their bioactive compounds by alcoholic solvent extracting method. The results showed that the highest level of total phenolic content (TPC) was found in unpolished red rice (470.96 µg FAE/g db sample), while the lowest was in unpolished white rice (135.84 µg FAE/g db sample). TPC of rice in free form was considerably higher than that in the bound form. Total flavonoid content in free form was also significantly higher than bound form. Total flavonoid content in free form of unpolished black rice (126.75 µg RE/g db sample) was higher than that in the others. In the present study, unpolished red rice extract possessed the best antioxidant activity (78.79%) in most cases, and showed the strongest inhibitory potential against alpha-amylase (78.56%) and amyloglucosidase (36.13%) as well. As a result, extracts of unpolished colored rices could act like both antioxidant and enzyme inhibitors and have a potential to be used in prevention of type 2 diabetes.
