Antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds of 112 traditional Chinese medicinal plants associated with anticancer.
TLDR
Traditional Chinese medicinal plants associated with anticancer might be potential sources of potent natural antioxidants and beneficial chemopreventive agents, and contain significantly higher levels of phenolics than common vegetables and fruits.About:

Antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds in 32 selected herbs
TL;DR: In this paper, the total equivalent antioxidant capacities (TEAC) and phenolic contents of 32 spices extracts from 21 botanical families grown in Poland were investigated using a Folin-Ciocalteu assay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic Copper-Catalyzed Organic Reactions
TL;DR: The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-Electron processes, which feature confer a remarkably broad range of activities allowing copper to catalyze the oxidation and oxidative union of many substrates.

Antioxidant Capacity of 26 Spice Extracts and Characterization of Their Phenolic Constituents
TL;DR: This study provides direct comparative data on antioxidant capacity and total and individual phenolics contents of the 26 spice extracts and showed that phenolic compounds in the tested spices contributed significantly to their antioxidant capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant activity of food constituents: an overview
TL;DR: The most commonly methods used in vitro determination of antioxidant capacity of food constituents are reviewed and presented, and the general chemistry underlying the assays in the present paper was clarified.

Use of a Free Radical Method to Evaluate Antioxidant Activity
TL;DR: The antiradical properties of various antioxidants were determined using the free radical 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH*) in its radical form as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A method for the screening of antioxidant activity is reported as a decolorization assay applicable to both lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidants, including flavonoids, hydroxycinnamates, carotenoids, and plasma antioxidants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-antioxidant activity relationships of flavonoids and phenolic acids
TL;DR: The factors underlying the influence of the different classes of polyphenols in enhancing their resistance to oxidation are discussed and support the contention that the partition coefficients of the flavonoids as well as their rates of reaction with the relevant radicals define the antioxidant activities in the lipophilic phase.

Antioxidant Activity and Total Phenolics in Selected Fruits, Vegetables, and Grain Products
TL;DR: In this article, the antioxidant activity and total phenolics of 28 plant products, including sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, wheat germ, buckwheat, and several fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants were determined.
