Elucidation of the flavonoid and furocoumarin composition and radical-scavenging activity of green and ripe chinotto (Citrus myrtifolia Raf.) fruit tissues, leaves and seeds

Phenolic composition and total antioxidant capacity of South African frozen concentrated orange juice as affected by varietal, seasonal and regional differences

“…S1, Supporting Information). This is also in line with previous research that showed that an increase in maturity (higher TSS:TA) results in a decrease in phenolic content and TAC …”

“…Furthermore, increased maturity (higher TSS:TA) in citrus fruits was previously shown to decrease the phenolic content and antioxidant activity . Contrary to literature results for ‘Mandarin’, its FCOJ had significantly ( P < 0.05) lower TP and TAC DPPH values than that of ‘Navel’ orange, which had the highest TSS:TA (more mature fruit).…”

Evaluation of the nutraceutical, antioxidant and cytoprotective properties of ripe pistachio ( Pistacia vera L., variety Bronte) hulls

“…Antioxidants play a fundamental role in everyday life due to their unquestionable beneficial effects on living organisms that enable them to overcome, for instance, oxidative injuries, modulating biological pathways and membrane functionality, showing anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial and antioxidant activities (Barreca, Bellocco, Caristi, Leuzzi, & Gattuso, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c, 2011dBarreca, Bellocco, Laganà, Ginestra, & Bisignano, 2014;Barreca, Bellocco, Leuzzi, & Gattuso, 2014;Barreca et al, 2009Barreca et al, , 2013aBellocco et al, 2009;Galtieri et al, 2010;Middleton, Kandaswami, & Theoharides, 2000;Smeriglio, Monteleone, & Trombetta, 2014a;Tellone et al, 2012;Van't Veer, Janson, Klert, & Kok, 2000). Epidemiological studies also highlight a positive correlation between the consumption of food rich in antioxidants and risk reduction for chronic diseases (Arts & Hollman, 2005;Neuhouser, 2004;Van't Veer et al, 2000).…”

Antioxidant Properties and Flavonoid Profile in Leaves of Calabrian Lavandula multifida L., an Autochthon Plant of Mediterranean Southern Regions

“…As far as flavones and flavanones are concerned, they are characterized by the presence of a skeleton composed of two aromatic rings (commonly designated as A and B ), which are connected through a pyrone ring ( C ) in flavones or a dihydropyrone ring in flavanones . This class of natural products has been, for long time, utilized as the principal active constituents of several drugs, gaining researchers’ attention due to their several biological activities .…”
