“…The total phenolic content in P. terebinthus fruit is comparable to the values reported in the literature, all extracts of the terebinth fruits and coffee brands displayed a high concentration of polyphenols and show also a high DPPH scavenging effect 3 the coffee extracts usually exhibited a better activity in the test methods applied for the establishment of in vitro antioxidant activity. It is interesting to point out that the terebinth coffees produced after roasting of the powdered fruits have shown greater activity in these tests as compared to the fruits MeOH extract.…”

“…Furthermore, many coffee substitutes known as herbal coffee have been used around the world depending on regions and traditions to reduce negative side effects, such as high caffeine content responsible for certain gastrointestinal disorders, due to excessive coffee consumption. This has resulted in herbal products that are produced and consumed similar to coffee beans 4 .…”

“…It is the first turpentine known by Dioscorides and this name was later extended to the oleoresin of conifers. This tree is one of the components of the Mediterranean bush, particularly in Algeria, where there are large stands, especially in the Tessala forest, known under the name of Betoum el Kiffan in Arabic 3,5,6 .…”

Background: Consumption of traditional herbal beverages has been generally increased in the last decades, Terebinth coffee, known as ‘‘menengic coffee’’ in Turkish, is one of the most consumed herbal coffees in Turkey, turpentine tree is one of the components of the Mediterranean bush, particularly in Algeria, known as Betoum el Kiffan is largely used as food and in traditional medicine. Aims: In this study, Total phenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of three extracts of Pistacia trebinthus fruit growing in Algeria was measured using radical scavenging activity tests and metal-related tests including, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The chemical composition profile of the fruits and the coffee brands was identified by thin-layer chromatography, the effects of roasting method of this fruit was rivaled also. Materials and Methods: The total phenolic content of the extracts was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu method. All extracts of the terebinth fruits and coffee brands displayed a high DPPH scavenging effect. Results: The results of the ferric-reducing antioxidant power show that the reduction capacity is proportional to the increase in the concentration of the samples. All the extracts of the plant exhibit antioxidant activities lower than those of the reference product besides the infusion extract of the P. terebinthus roasted coffee, which is the most active with an optical density of 1.68 nm at a concentration of 400 μg/mL. The chromatography results show that the various extracts of Pistacia terebinthus fruit carry a large number of polyphenols, in particular the carboxylic acids phenols. Conclusions: The plant can be considered as a coffee substitute and opens up promising avenues for the food and pharmaceutical industry in Algeria. Keywords: Antioxidant, Pistacia terebinthus, Coffee, FRAP, polyphenol.

Background: Obesity is currently considered an increasingly more severe social and health-related problem. The World Health Organization qualified obesity as a chronic disease associated with several chronic complications such as circulatory diseases, diabetes, cancer, and respiratory diseases. Aims: We aim to establish the correlation between Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet MD and the anthropometric profile of obese Algerian subjects. Subjects and Methods: Our study included a cohort of 104 subjects. 47 subjects were at a normal weight and 57 subjects with an overweight (a body mass index BMI of 26 to 35 Kg/m2). Assessment of anthropometric profile took into account the BMI and body composition. The adherence to the MD was assessed using Mediterranean Diet Score MDS. Results: there is a positive correlation between adherence to MD and anthropometric parameters in obese subjects. Conclusions: The Mediterranean diet could positively impact comorbidities accompanying this disease that poses a major public health problem. Keywords: Obesity, Mediterranean Diet, anthropometric profile, body mass index, Mediterranean Diet Score.
