TL;DR: The seasonal variation of the essential oil composition, the antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP assays) and the total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu assay) of two aromatic wild plants, Pistacia lentiscus L. (Anacardiaceae), grown in Zakynthos, a Greek island, was investigated.

TL;DR: The last years there has been a significant rise in the number of publications in the international literature that deal with the production of lipids by microbial sources (the ‘single cell oils; SCOs’ that are produced by the so‐called ‘oleaginous’ micro‐organisms).

TL;DR: A close relationship between the phenolic content and the development stage during vegetative cycle of these plants was observed and the identified flavonoids, except rutin, seemed to increase with the advancement of developmental stages, while phenolic acids followed an opposite pattern.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of stickiness in the drying chamber was overcome through the use of 21 DE, 12 DE, and 6 DE maltodextrins as drying aid agents.

TL;DR: In the current investigation, biodiesel‐derived glycerol was employed as substrate for yeast and fungal strains cultivated under nitrogen‐limited conditions in shake flasks, and lipids produced by this fungus and extracted with chloroform/methanol blend, were composed mostly of triacylglycerols, thus indicating that these solvents are adequate for triacyLglycerol extraction.
