Antioxidant Potential and Its Changes Caused by Various Factors in Lesser-Known Medicinal and Aromatic Plants by Sona Skrovankova, Jiri Mlcek

“…The lesser-known representatives of Lamiaceae family (<i>Lamium album</i>, <i>Leonurus cardiaca</i>, <i>Hyssopus officinalis</i>, <i>Scutellaria baicalensis</i>), Asteraceae family (<i>Artemisia absinthium</i>), Myrtaceae family (<i>Pimenta dioica</i>), and Rosaceae family (<i>Crataegus laevigata</i>) were selected. The most important factors affecting antioxidant potential are the used solvent and its polarity (water and its temperature, ethanol, mixture of these solvents, methanol, n-butanol, and ethylacetate), extraction techniques, essential oil preparation, and the type and conditions of antioxidant activity (AA) determination method (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, etc.). …”

Ultrasound-assisted enhancement of bioactive compounds in hawthorn vinegar: A functional approach to anticancer and antidiabetic effects by Selim Öğüt, Melikenur Türkol, Seydi Yıkmış, Esra Bozgeyik, Gholamreza Abdi, Emine Kocyigit, Rana Muhammad Aadil, Nilay Seyidoglu, Deniz Karakçı, Nazlı Tokatlı

“…In this study, the effects of ultrasound treatment on bioactive components and functional properties of hawthorn vinegar (Crataegus tanacetifolia) were investigated. Parameters such as total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ascorbic acid (AA), DPPH radical scavenging activity and CUPRAC reducing capacity were optimised by surface response method (RSM) and 14 min duration and 61.40 % amplitude were determined as the most suitable treatment conditions. …”
