Authors: L.F. Jorge, A.B. Meniqueti, R.F. Silva, K.A. Santos, E.A. Da Silva, J.E. Gon�§alves, C.M. De Rezende, N.B. Colauto, Z.C. Gazim and G.A. Linde
In this study, the temperature and pressure of supercritical CO2 extraction were evaluated to obtain oleoresin of Brunfelsia uniflora leaves and flowers. The oleoresin compounds were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by three different methods. The highest oleoresin yiel.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity of landraces of Dendrocalamus hamiltonii using AFLP markers and association with biochemical traits
Authors: S.D. Waikhom, S. Ghosh, N.C. Talukdar and S.S. Mandi
Fermented bamboo shoots are popular traditional food items of various ethnic groups of the northeastern India, especially in Manipur State. Dendrocalamus hamiltonii is an economically important bamboo species used to produce fermented bamboo shoots. We studied genetic variability of this bamboo species in Chandel and Imphal-East (commercial production dis.. Read More»

Isolation, identification, and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from the shell of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino)
Authors: Z.L. Wang, H.B. Liang, W. Guo, Z.F. Peng, J.D. Chen and Q.Q. Zhang
In this study, two antioxidative substances, a homogeneous polysaccharide [abalone shell polysaccharide (ASP-1), corresponding to the first peak by size exclusion chromatography] and a non-polysaccharide compound [abalone shell compound (ACS-2), corresponding to the second peak by size exclusion chromatography], were extracted..

In vitro antioxidant activities of endophytic fungi isolated from the liverwort Scapania verrucosa
Authors: P.Y. Zeng, J.G. Wu, L.M. Liao, T.-Q. Chen, J.Z. Wu and K.-H. Wong
We investigated in vitro antioxidant activities of 49 endophytic fungi isolated from the liverwort Scapania verrucosa. Based on morphological and molecular identification, the endophytic fungi isolated were classified into seven genera (Hypocrea, Penicillium, Tolypocladium, Chaetomium, Xylaria, Nemania, and Creosphaeria), all ..
