Changes in volatile flavor compounds in steam-dried root.

This study was carried out to identify volatile flavor compounds in root (AHR) and steam-dried AHR. The volatile compounds were extracted using a simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE) method and identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. Forty volatile compounds, present at a concentration of 76.

Isolation and identification of phenolic antioxidants in black rice bran.

Black rice bran contains phenolic compounds of a high antioxidant activity. In this study, the 40% acetone extract of black rice bran was sequentially fractionated to obtain 5 fractions. Out of the 5 fractions, ethyl acetate fraction was subfractionated using the Sephadex LH-20 chromatography.

Structural characterization of phenolic antioxidants from purple perilla (Perilla frutescens var. acuta) leaves.

The antioxidant activities of various extracts from purple perilla (Perilla frutescens var. acuta) leaves based on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability, 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylenebenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavenging ability, and reducing power were investigated. Purple perilla leaves were initially extracted with 80% ethanol and then sequentially fractionated according to solvent polarity.

Antioxidant activities and phenolic compounds of pigmented rice bran extracts.

Unlabelled: This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activities and phenolic compounds of pigmented rice (black, red, and green rice) and brown rice brans. Antioxidant activity was determined by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical assay, 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylenebenzothiozoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation assay, reducing power, and chelating ability. Phenolic compounds were measured by using HPLC.
