TLDR
Two new noroleanane-type triterpene saponins, Salbige A andSalbige B, have been isolated from the aerial parts of Salicornia herbacea together with five other known compounds, including echinocystic acid, pheophorbide a, which showed weak antioxidant activity.About:

Salicornia: evaluating the halophytic extremophile as a food and a pharmaceutical candidate
TL;DR: This appraisal is expected to be useful towards further research and popularization of this extremophile halophyte, belonging to family Amaranthaceae, which has a broad geographical distribution, and phytochemical profiling has indicated its food relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Edible halophytes of the Mediterranean basin: Potential candidates for novel food products
TL;DR: This review focuses on listing and describing the most important halophyte species that traditionally have been gathered by rural communities of the Mediterranean basin, while special interest will be given on their chemical composition and health promoting components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemistry and bioactivity of triterpene saponins from Amaranthaceae family
TL;DR: Herbal and edible Amaranthaceae plants can be considered as promising and highly available sources of biologically active triterpene saponins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the Vanillin-Sulphuric Acid Method for Quantifying Total Saponins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used aescin to construct standard curves with different solvents, which led to different values when they were applied to quantify the saponin content of an ethanol extract from dried and powdered Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) seed kernels.

The ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) as a measure of 'antioxidant power' : the FRAP assay
TL;DR: The FRAP assay offers a putative index of antioxidant, or reducing, potential of biological fluids within the technological reach of every laboratory and researcher interested in oxidative stress and its effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer statistics, 2013
TL;DR: Overall cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 to 2009 and can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

Pheophytin Pheophorbide Hydrolase (Pheophytinase) Is Involved in Chlorophyll Breakdown during Leaf Senescence in Arabidopsis
Silvia Schelbert,Sylvain Aubry,Bo Burla,Bo Burla,Birgit Agne,Felix Kessler,Karin Krupinska,Stefan Hörtensteiner +7 more
TL;DR: Pheophytinase (PPH), a chloroplast-located and senescence-induced hydrolase widely distributed in algae and land plants, is identified and proposed that the sequence of early chlorophyll catabolic reactions be revised.

Antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of extracts from a variety of edible seaweeds.
Yvonne V. Yuan,Natalie A. Walsh +1 more
TL;DR: The antiproliferative efficacy of these algal extracts were positively correlated with the total polyphenol contents (p<0.05), suggesting a causal link related to extract content of kelp phlorotannins and dulse polyphenols including mycosporine-like amino acids and phenolic acids.
