TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the antioxidant activity of tea using DPPH and ABTS tests, and a strong correlation between obtained results was observed, and the positive effect of the increased level of phenolic compounds extracted is also connected with higher level of extracted noxious elements.

TL;DR: The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of iridoids and anthocyanins of cornelian cherry ripe fruits were investigated using HPLC-DAD, LC–ESI-MS, and NMR methods and pelargonidin 3-galactopyranoside was dominant.

TL;DR: In this article, different kinds of chocolates produced in Serbia were analyzed regarding total polyphenol, flavonoid and proanthocyanidin content using spectrophotometric methods.

TL;DR: Assessment of molecular composition of five Opuntia species and three different varieties of each taxonomically identified species with different domestication gradients showed that O. ficus-indica seems to fall far outside of the current domestication gradient that has been proposed, and its ancestor is still unclear.

TL;DR: Protein content, amino acid composition, nutritional quality and patatin characteristics were determined in tubers of four South American cultivated potato species and a cultivar of the commonly cultivated cultivar Desiree of Solanum tuberosum suggests that this species may have potential in potato breeding programmes and in human nutrition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified the published data on its content of 7 proximate, 14 minerals, and 13 vitamins so to calculate its average and median values, as well as list its contents of potentially relevant functional components like phenolics, amino acids, complex sugars and others.

TL;DR: The obtained results support the fact that the antioxidant activity of phenolic mixtures cannot be predicted from the activity of pure compounds, but they could be useful in the explanation of theactivity of their mixtures.

TL;DR: In this article, the content of zinc, iron, calcium and phytate in the 16 most consumed foods from 5 villages in a tropical rural area of Bolivia was analyzed using HPIC chromatography.

TL;DR: A review of current advances in detection techniques for melamine and its compounds can be found in this paper, where current and past melamine contamination incidents, as well as modern instruments and analytical methods for determining the presence of melamines and its analogues are presented.

TL;DR: Mineral content marks the differences in honey samples from different geographical origin despite the botanical factor weight and can be used as a tool to assess the traceability of honeys.

TL;DR: In this article, the antioxidant activity of 20 commercial grape juices and 10 typical Spanish wines and their content of total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, flavonoids and 10 individual phenolic compound (flavanols, benzoic acids and cinnamic acids, measured by HPLC-UV) was evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an optimisation and validation process for the simultaneous determination of 31 elements (i.e., lithium, boron, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, potassium, calcium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, gallium, germanium, arsenic, selenium, strontium, molybdenum, silver, cadmium, tin, antimony, tellurium, barium, mercury, lead and uranium) in food samples by induct

TL;DR: In this paper, an HPLC-DAD analytical method with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and QuEChERS sample preparation procedures for the simultaneous analysis of seven neonicotinoids (dinotefuran, nitenpyram, thiametoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiacloprid) in honey samples was developed and optimized by Response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design and Derringer's desirability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of four cooking techniques (roasting, grilling, microwave baking and frying with olive oil) on nutritional value (fatty acid, amino acid profile and chemical scores of the essential amino acids) of foal meat from the Galician Mountain breed (slaughtered at 15 months and with 102.6 kg of carcass weight).

TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in eight groups of foods, namely, cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, eggs and milk, were investigated.

TL;DR: Folates were most abundant in common bean, lentil and chickpea, whereas 5-MTHF and tetrahydrofolate (THF) were the predominant forms in pea.

TL;DR: In this paper, the content and profile of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) formed during the process of grilling beef under various conditions and involving different cuts of beef.
