“…Similar protective effect of Dracaena draco fruit extracts in free radicalinduced oxidative injury to erythrocytes was shown to be contributed by the combined action of phenolics and other antioxidants. [38] Our findings are further corroborated by equivalent results obtained from individual flavonoids [7,9] and a cocoa phenolic extract [34] on HepG2 cell lines.…”

“…In fact, our research group has demonstrated the strong antioxidant activity of several natural extracts characterized by high contents of quercetin-3-Orutinoside as these ones, namely those obtained from Cydonia oblonga Mill., Dracaena draco (L.) L. or Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. (Oliveira et al, 2010;Ferreres et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2011;Santos et al, 2011). Furthermore, we can also highlight the presence of 5-O-caffeoylquinic and ferulic acids and quercetin, which are known to be excellent in vitro antioxidants, namely against DPPH•, nitrogen and oxygen reactive species (Rice-Evans et al, 1996, 1997Cai et al, 2004;Boots et al, 2008).…”

Ficus carica L., Moraceae, is one of the fi rst plants that were cultivated by humans, being the fruit an important crop worldwide for dry and fresh consumption. In this work, phenolics and antioxidant potential of dried fruits of seventeen Tunisian F. carica varieties, from green, red and black phenotypes, were assessed for the fi rst time. HPLC-DAD analysis was performed. All samples presented a similar qualitative profi le. The phenolics content ranged between 29.18 and 55.56 mg/kg (in black and red phenotypes, respectively) and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside was always the major compound. The antioxidant potential against DPPH•, superoxide and nitric oxide radicals of three varieties representing each phenotype was checked. All samples exhibited activity against the fi rst two radicals in a concentration-dependent way, "Bayoudi" variety being the most effective one (IC25 values of 10.32 and 2.89 µg/ mL, respectively). Nevertheless, only "Hammouri" variety presented some capacity to scavenge nitric oxide radical. Our results reveal nice perspectives for these typical fruits, as they present an interesting phenolic composition and good antiradical activity and may encourage their consumption for health protection.

“…These fruits include a rare apple species (Fraternale et al, 2011), dragon tree fruit (Silva et al, 2011), mangos (Canuto et al, 2010) and raspberries (Eugenio et al, 2010). Almost all citrus fruit have terpenoids as the dominant volatile compounds (Barboni, Muselli et al, 2010;Lin et al, 2010).…”
