Evaluation of the Antioxidant and Anti-Lipoxygenase Activity of L. Leaves, Fruits, and Stem and Their LC MS/MS Polyphenolic Profile.

L. is currently widely studied for its antioxidant and chemopreventive properties, especially with regard to the beneficial properties of its fruits. Although the bark and roots have been well known and used in traditional medicine since ancient times, little is known about the other parts of this plant.

Novel Hyperspectral Analysis of Thin-Layer Chromatographic Plates-An Application to Fingerprinting of 70 Polish Grasses.

The advantages of hyperspectral imaging in videodensitometry are presented and discussed with the example of extracts from 70 Polish grasses. An inexpensive microscope camera was modified to cover the infrared spectrum range, and then 11 combinations of illumination (254 nm, 366 nm, white light), together with various filters (no filter, IRCut, UV, cobalt glass, IR pass), were used to register RGB HDR images of the same plate. It was revealed that the resulting 33 channels of information could be compressed into 5-6 principal components and then visualized separately as grayscale images.
