Different concentrations ofmethanol aqueous solution with or without 0.5% acetic acid and 80% acetone were used to achieve the highest yield of extraction of phenolics from Induna apple pomace. The highest content of phenolics (6.38 mg/g) was detected in the 80% methanol extract. The influence of 80% methanol extract of Induna apple pomace on stable l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and reactive hydroxyl radicals has been investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the investigated extract is more effective in the DPPH test than on the DMPO-OH scavenging. In both cases antioxidant activity increased with increasing concentration of the investigated extract. The high contents ofphenolics (6.38 mg/g), flavonoids (1.01 mg/g) and flavan-3-ols (0.70 mg/g) in 80% methanol extract indicated that these compounds contributed to the antioxidant activity of Induna apple pomace.

Abstract The interaction of Cu (II) with the protein pepsin has been investigated by means of electron spin resonance (ESR) and optical spectroscopy. Depending on the molar ratio of Cu(II) and pepsin in aqueous solution two different complexes are formed. A third complex can be detected after a reaction time of several days, attributed to a complex with a conformationally changed pepsin. The presence of inhibitors 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane (EPP) or diazoacetyl-ethylester (DAE) seems to hinder the conformational change. The structure of the three complexes is discussed.
