Evaluation of oxalic acid extraction and quantification methods in the different purslane ( L.) matrices and spinach ().

Purslane () and spinach () are species with elevated levels of oxalic acid, an antinutrient that interferes in the bioaccessibility of minerals such as calcium and iron. Evaluating methods to determine oxalic acid content with reduced matrix interference, such as employing Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), can enhance the specificity of determinations. The different matrices of purslane (whole plant, leaves, and juice) and spinach (whole plant) were tested using three extraction methods (M1, M2, and M3).

Potential Functional Food Products and Molecular Mechanisms of L. on Anticancer Activity: A Review.

Linn. ( L.) has recently gained attention as a functional food due to the chemical composition of this plant regarding bioactive compounds.

Clinically practical blood volume assessment with fluorescein-labeled HES.

Background: Standard techniques for measuring blood volume (BV) entail administering radioactivity and human albumin. This is laborious, expensive, and impractical in acute settings. An alternative method suitable for widespread routine application was assessed.
