“…This extract is composed by a majority of simple phenols (piscidic acid, eucomic acid, ferulic acid derivatives) which exhibits p-hydroxyl and a varying number of additional hydroxyls essential for mediating the antioxidant potential of a compound (Ali et al, 2013;Andjelkovic et al, 2006). Among those simple phenols, ferulic acid is known to have a high antioxidant and antiradical potential with the ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation (Sanchez-Moreno, Larrauri, & Saura-Calixto, 1999;Yashin, Yashin, Wang, & Nemzer, 2013). Piscidic acid, the major phenolic compound found in the OFI extract is also known to exhibit antioxidant properties and constitutes also a strong chelator of iron (Ae et al, 1990;Takahira et al, 1998).…”
