Phenolic compounds play a very crucial role as antioxidant that can prevent various diseases caused by free radicals in human body. Although, lots of natural phenolic compounds having antioxidant activity are available nowadays, the modeling of compounds with naturally available phenolics as building blocks is very important in order to get enhanced antioxidant activity. In this study, Ferulic acid (FA), one natural phenolic acid present in coffee, apples, orange, etc., is taken as building block and its ester derivatives with different alkyl groups are subjected to measure the antioxidant activity by using density functional theory (DFT). Various parameters like bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), vertical ionization potential (IP[Formula: see text]), reactivity descriptors, metal chelation ability, etc. are used to measure the antioxidant activity. All the parameters suggest that the ester derivatives are superior antioxidants to the parent FA. Since FA has been reported to be present as esters in many herbs and plants, hence our study provides a route to study the structure activity relationship of this class of natural phenolics with antioxidant activity.

The article is devoted to the creation of a carbohydrate product with rosehip extract in the form of sweets (glucose Fudge) with a therapeutic and preventive effect aimed at restoring the body of people exposed to intense physical and mental stress and the effects of damaging environmental factors. As carbohydrates in the recipe, simple carbohydrates (glucose) and complex carbohydrates in the form of starch molasses containing (maltose, tri - Tetra - sugars, dextrins) are used. Glucose in the formulation is the main energy ingredient, sweetener and structure-forming component that gives the product a solid consistency due to crystallization. The medicinal effect of the product is provided by rosehip extract. Numerous published studies have established its vitamin, immunostimulating and antioxidant activity, inhibition of uric acid formation and obesity, which are associated with flavonoids, other phenolic compounds, and vitamins. The list of medicinal properties of rosehip extract shows the feasibility of using it in additional nutrition of people in order to prevent diseases. For the formulation of our sweets, the extraction of crushed rosehip fruits was carried out three times with hot water at a temperature of 65-700C, followed by concentration of the extract under vacuum to 25-30% SV. The resulting extract-concentrate was introduced into the formulation in a dosage of 5.5% SV per 100 g of SV glucose Fudge, which provided the necessary dosage for the product when used from 3 (for children) to 10 sweets a day (for adults) for the prevention of colds.
