Abstract: The effect of commonly used techniques and solvents in the antioxidant activities of pink-flesh guava fruit were studied. The extraction techniques compared were homogenization, shaking, sonication, magnetic stirring, and maceration for 1, 2, and 3 days. The solvent systems used were methanol, ethanol, and acetone at three different concentrations (50%, 70%, and 100%) and with 100% distilled water. The antioxidant activity of the fruit was evaluated using Folin–Ciocalteu index, ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical-scavenging capacity. Ultrasonic and homogenization were the best techniques to extract the antioxidant from guava fruit. Homogenization technique was found to be the most convenient exhaustive and time-saving extraction technique. Results showed that the extracting solvent significantly (P < 0.05) altered the antioxidant property estimations of pink-flesh guava fruit. Pure solvents were inefficient extraction media for antioxidant. Enhanced extraction yields were obtained from solvent containing higher water concentrations and 50% acetone is a recommended solvent for extracting antioxidants compounds from pink-flesh guava fruit. High correlations between phenolic compositions and antioxidant activities of pink-flesh guava extracts were observed. High levels of antioxidant activities were detected in pink-flesh guava, indicating that the fruit may serve as an excellent dietary source of natural antioxidants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have analyzed the effect of width of tapes on the velocity gradient of the flow in turbulent simulation, and showed that the increase in velocity gradient increases the Sgen,f (frictional entropy) with the augment of width.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) approach was proposed for monthly streamflow forecasting. But the results of the ANFIS-FFA model are compared with the classical ANFis model, which utilizes the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering method in the Fuzzy inference system (FIS).
