This study was undertaken to estimate the antioxidant activity and total tannin content of Moringa olifera Lam. (Moringa) leaves and find a suitable extraction condition for maximum yield. Two types of solvent and three different extraction times and temperatures were experimented for extraction. Moringa leaves were oven-dried and powdered to determine the antioxidant activity in terms of total phenolic content (TPC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and DPPH radical scavenging activity and total tannin content. The maximum TPC value noted in methanol extract, and it ranges from 6.46 ± 0.34 g to 3.91±0.19 g gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100g dry sample (DM). The FRAP values varied from 211.6 ± 3.75 to 344.13 ± 3.26 mg ascorbic acid equivalent (AAE)/100g DM and 166.67 ± 2.90 to 224.93 ± 1.94 mg AAE/100g DM, for methanol and ethanol extract, respectively. The DPPH radical scavenging activity ranged from 46.32 ± 1.07 to 58.09 ± 0.92% for methanol extract and 56.76 ± 1.48% to 69.72 ± 1.15% for ethanol extract. The total tannin content varied from 6.84 ± 0.05 to 10.22 ± 1.11 mg GAE/100 g dry sample and 6.77 ± 0.08 to 9.23 ± 0.51 mg GAE/ 100g DMfor methanol and ethanol extract, respectively. The highest antioxidant yield for methanol and ethanol extract of Moringa leaves differed for various conditions. Overall, Moringa leaves showed excellent antioxidant properties that can be commercially and domestically used.

The present study aimed to evaluate the potential of standardized methanolic extracts from seven Ficus deltoidea varieties in inhibiting the formation of AGEs, protein oxidation, and their antioxidant effects. The antiglycation activity was analyzed based on the inhibition of AGEs, fructosamine, and thiol groups level followed by the inhibition of protein carbonyl formation. The antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay) and total phenolic contents were evaluated. After 28 days of induction, all varieties of Ficus deltoidea extracts significantly restrained the formation of fluorescence AGEs by 4.55–5.14 fold. The extracts also reduced the fructosamine levels by 47.0–86.5%, increased the thiol group levels by 64.3–83.7%, and inhibited the formation of protein carbonyl by 1.36–1.76 fold. DPPH radical scavenging activity showed an IC50 value of 66.81–288.04 μg/ml and reducing power activity depicted at 0.02–0.24 μg/ml. The extent of phenolic compounds present in the extracts ranged from 70.90 to 299.78 mg·GAE/g. Apart from that, correlation studies between the activities were observed. This study revealed that seven varieties of Ficus deltoidea have the potential to inhibit AGEs formation and possess antioxidant activity that might be attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds.

Casein, gluten, and soy protein are widely used in food processing for structure, texture, and flavour improvement. These large proteins might be hydrolysed to shorter peptides or amino acids, which provide antioxidant activities through enzymatic and fermentative food processes. Casein, gluten, and soy protein were digested with an enzyme supplement product containing dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) and protease in this study. Then, each protein was hydrolysed by Lactobacillus kefiri strain. 2,2, diphenyl 1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and reducing power (RP) were measured for undigested and digested samples. According to our results, all proteins were hydrolysed. Soy protein demonstrated the highest IC<sub>50</sub> value of DPPH for undigested (2.64 mg/ml) and digested samples (1.56 mg/ml) as well as the highest RP value (0.171 for undigested and 0.234 for digested at 700 nm). On the other hand, casein provided the weakest DPPH radical scavenging activity (1.58 ± 0.041% for undigested and 21.86 ± 0.012% for digested samples). A strong correlation was found between cell growth and antioxidant activity of casein during the microbial fermentation. In addition, the changes in protein expression levels by microbial fermentation were analysed by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Mass spectrometry-based protein identification studies revealed that EF-G, DNA-K, and DNA-J were mainly overexpressed indicating L. kefiri adapts itself by changing the overall proteome.

Secondary metabolites and their biological activity have pharmacological relevance in the prevention and therapeutic management of disease, including the facilitation of normal physiological processes through biochemical mechanisms. In this study, phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity were evaluated quantitatively on the acetone, ethanol, and aqueous extracts of the flesh, and peel, as well as the boiled peel extract compartments of Musa sinensis L. and Musa paradisiaca L. fruits. Total phenol, proanthocyanidin, and flavonoid contents were estimated and measured spectrophotometrically. The free radical scavenging antioxidant capacity of the extracts was tested on DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ethanol), ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)), and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay models. Correlation between phytoconstituents and antioxidant activity was analysed using Pearson’s coefficient. The results showed varying amounts of phytochemicals in the solvent extracts of the flesh and peel, including the boiled peel extract of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca. All acetone extracts of M. sinensis flesh, M. paradisiaca flesh, and M. paradisiaca peel had the highest phytochemical contents, with the exception of the ethanol extract of M. sinensis peel which had the highest phenol content; just as on the overall scale, the peel compartments had generally higher phytochemical profiles than the soft flesh in both fruits. The boiled peel extracts of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca had the highest ABTS (0.03 mg/mL) and DPPH (0.03 mg/mL) activity. Ferric reducing power (FRAP) was the highest in the ethanol extracts of M. sinensis flesh and peel, and M. paradisiaca flesh, while it was the highest in the acetone extract of M. paradisiaca at the peak concentration used (0.1 mg/mL). There was a significant negative correlation between the total phenol and flavonoid contents of M. sinensis flesh with its DPPH radical scavenging activity and proanthocyanidin content of M. paradisiaca flesh with its DPPH radical scavenging activity. The correlation outcomes indicate that none of the phytochemical constituents solely affected antioxidant activity; instead, a combination of the polyphenolic constituents contributed to antioxidant activity. This study shows the therapeutic potentials of the flesh and, importantly, the peel of M. sinensis and M. paradisiaca fruits on the basis of the polyphenolic constitution against free radicals and oxidative stress.

Cheese ripening causes intense proteolysis, particularly when the cheese contains starter cultures. Several studies have shown the presence of bioactive peptides in goat’s milk cheeses with antioxidant activity. Mexican goat cheeses’ peptide fractions were evaluated at different ripening stages. Additionally, they were correlated with their antioxidant activity. Proteolysis was measured in the acid-soluble nitrogen and non-protein nitrogen fractions using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. While the antioxidant activity in both nitrogenous fractions was determined using a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl solution. Analyzed cheeses showed peptides fraction in the retention time of 2.05, 18.36, and 50.11 min for acid-soluble fraction and non-protein protein nitrogen, and showed antioxidant activity from the first day of ripening to 73% discoloration in the DPPH solution at 55 ripening days. Obtained results suggested that ripened Mexican goat cheese had a DPPH radical scavenging activity related to peptides present originally in the milk or released by starter culture action during cheese ripening.

Organic Rices, such as Jasmine variety white organic rice, Saodah variety red organic rice, and Java variety black organic rice, are many cultivated by farmer in Indonesia, especially Sleman area, DI Yogyakarta. The potency of three varieties of organic rice as antioxidant source hasn’t been studied. Therefore this research was done to know the effect of pigment color difference in three varieties of organic rice on antioxidant activity, especially 1,1-diphenyl-2- pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ion reducing power. The results showed that Saodah variety red organic rice had the highest antioxidant potency because it had the highest total phenol and total flavonoid, 37.93 mg GAE/g sample dry base and 0.85 mg CE/g sample dry base, respectively. However Saodah variety red organic rice had total anthocyanin lower than that of Java variety black organic rice, 0.0025 mg/g sample dry base and 0.024 mg/g sample dry base, respectively. Anthocyanin compounds identified in three varieties of organic rice were cyanidine-3-glucoside at 32 minute time retention and peonidine -3-glucoside at 37 minute time retention. 1,1-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and ion reducing power of Saodah variety red organic rice were the highest, 0.90 mg equivalent vitamin E/g sample dry base and 278.28 mg equivalent vitamin E/g sample dry base, respectively.Keywords: Pigment, organic rice, antioxidant activity ABSTRAKBeras organik, meliputi beras putih varietas Jasmine, merah varietas Saodah, dan hitam varietas Jawa, banyak dibudidayakan oleh masyarakat di Indonesia, terutama daerah Sleman, D.I.

Inca peanut (Plukenetia volubilis L.) leaves were used to make tea and sold as a local product in Thailand but there is no research on the bioactivity of Inca peanut leaves. The present study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of Inca peanut leaves. Fresh leaves were extracted with water (FW) and hot water (FH). Dried leaves (DH), roasted leaves (RH) and commercial tea leaves (CH) were extracted with hot water. Their phytochemical constituents, the amount of phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total flavonol content (TFoC) were analyzed. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavenging activity. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, tannin, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and terpenoids. RH contained the highest TPC (21.36±1.90 µg GAE/mg), TFC (8.65±0.16 µg QE/mg), TFoC (0.249±0.004 µg QE/mg) and exhibited the most potent antioxidant activity by DPPH assay (IC50 = 135.97±6.71 µg/mL) and ABTS assay (IC50 = 37.53±3.87 µg/mL). Flavonoid has a positive correlation with DPPH radical scavenging activity. These results suggested that the antioxidant activity of Inca peanut leaves might be attributed to the presence of flavonoid compounds. Roasted leaves extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activities. Therefore, Inca peanut leaves extracts could be considered as a good source of antioxidant and developed as a functional food.
