The flavonoids of four Pistacia species in Egypt

Antioxidant activity and phenolic profile of different parts of Bene (Pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica) fruits

“…Chemical studies on Bene mainly regarded the fatty acids and triglycerides (Benhassaini, Bendahmane, & Benchalgo, 2007;Farhoosh et al, 2008;Yousfi, Nadjemi, Belal, Bombarda, & Gaydou, 2005), chemical composition of oleoresin and essential oils (Benhassaini, Bendeddouche, Mehdadi, & Romane, 2008;Mercherara-Idjeri, Hassani, Castola, & Casanova, 2008;Tzakou, Bazos, & Yannitsaros, 2007) and flavonoids (Kawashty, Mosharrafa, EL-Gibali, & Saleh, 2000;Pietta, 2000). However, there have been few studies on phenolic compounds in Bene, which are potent antioxidants and free radical scavengers (Farhoosh, Tavassoli-Kafrani, & Sharif, 2011;Gourine et al, 2010).…”

Antioxidant activity of different parts of Pistacia khinjuk Stocks fruit and its correlation to phenolic composition

“…There are few studies on P. khinjuk regarding to the chemical composition of essential oils (Tavakoli & Haddad Khodaparast 2013) and flavonoids (Kawashty et al 2000;Pietta, 2000). However, antioxidant activity and phenolic profile of different parts of P. khinjuk fruit has not already been studied.…”

Identification and quantification of anthocyanins in the berries of Pistacia lentiscus L., Phillyrea latifolia L. and Rubia peregrina L.

“…α-Pinene, γ-terpinene and terpinene-4-ol have been characterized as the main constituents of the essential oil of the P. lentiscus leaves (Ben Douissa et al, 2005;Duru et al, 2003). Flavonoid glycosides have been isolated from the arial parts of P. lentiscus (Kawashty, Mosharrafa, El-Gibali, & Saleh, 2000) and the polyphenolic composition of the leaves has also been reported (Romani, Pinelli, Galardi, Mulinacci, & Tattini, 2002). P. latifolia is an evergreen sclerophyllous shrub of the family Oleaceae with opposite, simple, coriaceous leaves and bluishblack berries.…”
