Journal ArticleDOI
The chemistry and antioxidant properties of tocopherols and tocotrienols
TL;DR: Some possible reasons for the observed differences between the tocopherols (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-) in relation to their interactions with the important chemical species involved in lipid peroxidation, specifically trace metal ions, singlet oxygen, nitrogen oxides, and antioxidant synergists are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacities of major fruits from Ecuador
TL;DR: In this article, Andean blackberry, capuli cherry peel and banana passion fruit were analysed for total soluble phenolic compounds content and for antioxidant capacity, using three different methods (DPPH, FRAP and ABTS + ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution and Contents of Phenolic Compounds in Eighteen Scandinavian Berry Species
Kaisu R. Määttä-Riihinen, ,†,Afaf Kamal-Eldin,Pirjo Mattila,‖ and Ana M. González-Paramás,A. Riitta Törrönen +4 more
TL;DR: The study showed distinctive similarities among berry species of the same family in the distribution of conjugated forms of phenolic compounds but differences in chromatographic profiles of conjUGates and compositions of aglycones especially in the case of anthocyanins.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multivariate study of the correlation between tocopherol content and fatty acid composition in vegetable oils
Afaf Kamal-Eldin,Roger Andersson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a mathematical approach in an effort to highlight some facts that might help address this question, such as whether there is a biochemical link between the tocopherol levels and the degree of unsaturation in vegetable oils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary alkylresorcinols: absorption, bioactivities, and possible use as biomarkers of whole-grain wheat- and rye-rich foods.
TL;DR: The presence of ARs in food, methods of analysis, their absorption and role in the diet in light of their in vitro bioactivities, and their possible use as biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake are discussed.
