This study determined antioxidant activity in terms of the 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging ability and total phenolic content of black tea under different infusion and storage conditions. High performance liquid chromatography analysis identified caffeine, (−)-epigallocatechin, (−)-epicatechin-3-gallate, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate and (−)-gallocatechin-3-gallate in the tea sample. The water–tea leaves weight ratio did not affect the DPPH scavenging ability. However, infusion temperature affected the DPPH scavenging activity and the total phenolic content. In the present study, the 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for DPPH of black tea infused at 60 to 100 °C ranged from 100.0 ± 13.7 to 28.4 ± 4.8 μg/mL. The total phenolic content of black tea steeped at 60 to 100 °C ranged from 50.4 ± 5.2 to 178.6 ± 16.4 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry leaf. Black tea exhibited increased antioxidant activity when the infusion temperature was increased. Regarding short-term storage, the DPPH scavenging ability and total phenolic content of black tea did not significantly change within 15 days. This result was consistent for storage temperatures of 4, 9, and 25 °C.

Antioxidant properties of crude extract, partition extract, and fermented medium from Dendrobium sabin (DS) flower were investigated. The oven-dried DS flower was extracted using 100% methanol (w/v), 100% ethanol (w/v), and 100% water (w/v). The 100% methanolic crude extract showed the highest total phenolic content (40.33 ± mg GAE/g extract) and the best antioxidant properties as shown by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. A correlation relationship between antioxidant activity and total phenolic content showed that phenolic compounds were the dominant antioxidant components in this flower extract. The microbial fermentation on DS flower medium showed a potential in increasing the phenolic content and DPPH scavenging activity. The TPC of final fermented medium showed approximately 18% increment, while the DPPH of fermented medium increased significantly to approximately 80% at the end of the fermentation. Dendrobium sabin (DS) flower showed very good potential properties of antioxidant in crude extract and partition extract as well as better antioxidant activity in the flower fermented medium.

Tea is the most widely consumed and popular non-alcoholic beverage in the world. Reactive oxygen spices may cause wide range of damages to biological systems. Purpose of this study was to determine the total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic of different black tea samples in Iran. The FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay was used for antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content was measured based on the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The results showed that all samples had substantial antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. Iranian tea samples had significantly the lowest 0.98 ± 0.15, 0.75 ± 0.17 µmoll-1 and Kenya tea samples had significantly the highest 2.67 ± 0.61, 2.10 ± 0.65 µmoll-1 amount of total antioxidant capacity and total phenolic, respectively. A linear positive relationship was observed between the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of the black tea samples. These findings suggest that black tea can be considered as natural source of antioxidant and total phenolic compounds.

Coffee leaf tea is made by drying coffee leaves in an oven at 70oC for 4 hours. The quality of coffee leaves tea does not only depend on the process of making tea but also the way the tea is brewed. There were 2 types of brewing techniques investigated in this study, namely infusion and decoction. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was conducted to optimize the brewing time and temperature for obtaining highly functional coffee leaves tea with optimum total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity. The Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) sensory technique was then applied to determine the sensory characteristics of coffee leaf tea. It was observed that optimum tea quality brewed by hot infusion technique was obtained at 80.03oC for 10.4 minutes while that of decoction technique was obtained at 95.38oC for 5.7 minutes. The coffee leaves tea brewed by decoction technique have higher total phenolic content, tannin and antioxidant activity than that of infusion technique (p-value<0.05). Even though the functional properties of coffee leaves tea such as total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, tended to be lower than that of commercial black tea, the coffee leaves tea is still more superior than that of tea leaves that prepared as the process of coffee leaves tea. The coffee leaves tea that brewed by both decoction and infusion techniques were well accepted by consumer panel.

This research aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of coconut sap added by different concentration of lysine during the heating process by means of regression analysis. This regression can be utilized to predict the antioxidant activity of coconut sap. A number of antioxidant parameters, i.e. total phenolic content, browning intensity, DPPH scavenging activity, and chelating activity, were measured using standard methods. The results showed that the changes in the total phenolic content of coconut sap against temperature during heating process followed a logarithmic regression function. The correlation between total phenolic content and heating temperature was quite strong until the temperature reached 100oC. Moreover, the changes in both browning intensity and DPPH scavenging activity of coconut sap against heating temperature followed an exponential regression. A quadratic regression function can represent the relationship between the chelating activity of coconut sap and heating temperature since the correlation of those parameters was relatively strong in the temperature range of 28-100oC. This study showed that the changes in total phenolic content, browning intensity, DPPH scavenging activity, and chelating activity of coconut sap during heating can be determined using regression analysis.

Opuntia dillenii (Ker-Gawl.) Haw. is a medicinal plant that is widely used by the Moroccan population to treat many diseases, thanks to its richness in bioactive molecules. This study aims to evaluate the total phenolic content and antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, and antidiabetogenic activities of O. dillenii seeds oil (ODSO), in vivo. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay and the Folin–Ciocalteu method were applied in this study to determine antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of ODSO, respectively. The antihyperlipidemic effect of the ODSO (2 ml/kg) was evaluated in the high-fat diet-fed albino mice, relying on lipid profile, blood glucose, and growth performance variations. Moreover, the preventive effect of ODSO was evaluated against alloxan monohydrate-induced diabetes in albino mice. ODSO had the highest total phenolic content (518.18 ± 14.36 mg EAC/kg) and DPPH scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.38 ± 0.08 mg/mL). Furthermore, ODSO showed a significant antidiabetogenic effect by reducing bodyweight loss, blood sugar level rise, and mortality rate caused by alloxan in albino mice. Then, ODSO has exhibited a significant antihyperlipidemic effect by improving the lipid profile disorder and glucose level rise in the blood, produced by the high-fat diet-fed albino mice. Results suggest that antidiabetogenic and antihyperlipidemic activities of ODSO correlate to the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of this oil. Hence, this plant could be a significant source of medically important critical compounds.

Background: White, green and black are the major tea types obtained from the same tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The differences in processing result in different types of tea, of which green tea (20%) and black tea (78%) are the most consumed worldwide and also white tea is gaining popularity due to its subtle taste and recent evidences about its health benefits. Silver needle is a sub type of white tea, made purely from buds whereas green tea is procured from leaves that are steamed or panfried, and to produce black tea, the tea leaves are withered, fully oxidized and then dried. Objective: The present study was undertaken to analyze and compare the antioxidant activity and phenolic composition of white (silver needle), green and black teas of same brand. Method: The radical scavenging ability of different tea types was measured using various antioxidant assays. The total phenolic content was also estimated using Folin-Ciocalteu’s method. Results: The white tea (silver needle) demonstrated highest radical scavenging activity followed by green and then black tea in various antioxidant assays performed. The total phenolic content of different types of tea exhibited the following order: white tea (133.30mg/g) > green tea (118.37mg/g) > black tea (101.8mg/g). A strong correlation was observed between the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of different tea types, the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.87-0.97. Conclusion: White tea (silver needle) manifested highest antioxidant activity followed by green and least in black tea. The pronounced antioxidant ability of WT (silver needle) may be ascribed to the different parts of the plant (unopened buds) and the least processing it undergoes, followed by obtaining green tea and black tea from different parts of the plant (leaves), and variation in degree of processing.
