An on-line high-performance liquid chromatography-1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (HPLC-DPPH*) method has been improved for the detection of polar and nonpolar radical scavenging compounds in complex plant extracts. Nine water extracts were prepared from different Mentha species, varieties, hybrids, and cultivars. After the components within each extract had been separated by reverse phase chromatography using 10-100% methanol with 2% acetic acid as a mobile phase, analytes within the eluent capable of scavenging a citric acid-sodium citrate-buffered methanol 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl solution were detected by postcolumn derivatization at 517 nm. The HPLC-DPPH* on-line method was applied to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Mentha extracts. There was a strong correlation between the scavenging (negative) peak area and the concentration of the radical scavenging reference substances used. The minimum detectable concentration (microg/mL) of the antioxidant compounds was determined. Caffeic acid, eriocitrin (eriodictyol-7-O-rutinoside), luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and rosmarinic acid were identified as the dominant radical scavengers in these extracts by this method.

Macroalgae growing in the polar regions are exposed to extreme environment conditions and may induce differences in the structural and bioactive properties of their polysaccharides. Six brown macroalgae viz. kelp species - Saccharina latissima, Laminaria digitata, and Alaria esculenta; rockweed Fucus distichus; and filamentous macroalgae - Chorda filum and Chordaria flageliformis, from the Arctic were investigated for polysaccharides and their bioactivity.

This study comprehensively explores the relationship between the structure of carboxymethyl-pachymaran (CMP) and its diverse biological activities, including immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory effects, tumor cell proliferation inhibition, and antioxidant activity. By adjusting preparation parameters, highly purified CMP samples with varying degrees of substitution (DS) and molecular weights (Mw) were successfully obtained. The results indicate that CMP, composed primarily of β-D-glucan, exhibits different levels of activity depending on its structural characteristics.
