Fatty acid composition and antioxidant capacity of defatted, non-defatted and oils extracts of fruit from Algeria.

Background: The nutritional value and health-promoting properties cause the fruits (acorns) of to have great potential for use in the food industry as functional ingredients and antioxidants source.

Objective: In this study, the amount of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids in different extracts (defatted, non-defatted) and composition of fatty acids in the fruits oils of were investigated. Besides, antioxidant activity was determined.

Evaluation of the anticancer activity and fatty acids composition of "Handal" ( L.) seed oil, a desert plant from south Jordan.

Background: The chemical composition of Handal ( L.) seed oil cultivated in Jordan deserts was characterized, and its bioactivity was evaluated.

Methods: The oil was extracted from the grinded seeds in 500 ml Soxhlet extractor for 24 hr using n-hexane, and the recovered fatty acids were methylated with methanolic-HCL.

Identification, Quantification, and Antioxidant Activity of Hydroalcoholic Extract of from Algeria.

Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the chemical profile of hydroalcoholic extract of Algerian and its antioxidant activity.

Materials And Methods: The hydroalcoholic extract of Algerian was investigated for its phenolic constituents using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection (DAD)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometer (MS)/MS. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content were also evaluated via oxygen radical absorbance capacity and Folin-Ciocalteu assays, respectively.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, Anti-Tyrosinase, Anti-Cholinesterase and Cytotoxic Activities of Essential Oils of Six Algerian Plants.

In this study, the essential oils (EOs) of six Algerian plants ( L., Asso, L., s L.

Chemical composition and bioactivity of essential oils and Ethanolic extracts of Ocimum basilicum L. and Thymus algeriensis Boiss. & Reut. from the Algerian Saharan Atlas.

Background: There is increasing interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries to substitute synthetic chemicals with naturally occurring compounds possessing bioactive properties. Plants are valuable sources of bioactive compounds. The present study investigates the chemical composition and antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities of ethanolic extracts (EEs) and essential oils (EOs) from two species in the Lamiaceae family, Ocimum basilicum L.

Phenolic Compounds and Bioactivity of Pourr.

The present study focuses on the chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities of the ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Pourr. HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn was used to identify the phenolic compounds, being (epi)gallocatechin dimer the major compound (111 ± 5 µg/g·dw) in the aqueous extract, while myricetin--rhamnoside (226 ± 9 µg/g·dw) was the main molecule in the ethyl acetate extract. Both extracts exhibited good scavenging activities against DPPH radical (EC µg/mL of 59 ± 2 and 31 ± 2 for aqueous and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively).

Chemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial and Antiproliferative activities of essential oil of Mentha spicata L. (Lamiaceae) from Algerian Saharan atlas.

Background: Mentha spicata (M. spicata) is a member of Lamiaceae that spreads mainly in the temperate and sub-temperate zones of the world. It is considered as a rich source of essential oils, which is widely used in pharmaceutical industries and food production.
