  1. 6. Antioxidants in Bolivian Plant Foods. Antioxidant Capacity, Flavonoids and other Phenolic Compounds

    Författare :Mauricio Penarrieta; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bolivia; Foods; Flavonoids; Phenolic Compounds; Total Antioxidant Capacity; HPLC.;

    Sammanfattning : The total antioxidant capacity was measured and the major phenolic and flavonoid compounds were identified and quantified in a selection of Bolivian crops growing at different altitudes above seal level (a.s.l.). LÄS MER

  3. 7. Antioxidant Activity of Bolivian Plant Secondary Metabolites

    Författare :Patricia Mollinedo; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytoprotection; Beta-carotene; TBARS; TEAC; ABTS; antioxidant activity; secondarymetabolites; Highland plains; plants; photoprotection; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Certain climatologically-adverse conditions in the basin of the Poopo Lake, located on the high plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano, have prevented the existence of a reliable agricultural system and the impact on the population of the area has been severe. These problems have been the main motivation in choosing this region for this particular study. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Antioxidants in Andean food and meals

    Författare :Leslie Tejeda; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Antioxidant capacity; polyphenolic compounds; anthocyanidins; individual food; meals; ans and stan genes;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The constant need to improve health and to prevent disease in Bolivia, especially in the Andean region with its extreme environmental conditions (high altitude and lower temperatures), motivated us to extend studies of antioxidant sources in foods and plants, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Spectrophotometric methods, such as ABTS (2, 2’- azinobis-3-ethylbenzotiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and FRAP (ferric reduction antioxidant power), were used to evaluate antioxidant activity. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Exploring Catalytic Tellurium-Based Antioxidants : Synthesis and Evaluation

    Författare :Jia-fei Poon; Lars Engman; John Murphy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antioxidant; tellurium; selenium; radical-trapping; chain-breaking; ROS; glutathione peroxidase; tocopherol; aromatic amine; oxidative stress;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and evaluation of various tellurium-based chain-breaking antioxidants. The purpose is to find novel regenerable compounds with improved radical-trapping capacity.In the first part of this work, we explore the possibilities to incorporate tellurium into tocopherols and aromatic amines.

  7. 10. Exploring Novel Catalytic Chalcogenide Antioxidants

    Författare :Henrik Johansson; Lars Engman; Helena Grennberg; Troels Skrydstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antioxidant; tellurium; selenium; catalytic; toxicity; ROS; neutrophil; glutathione peroxidase mimic; macrophage.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Kemi med inriktning mot organisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Organic Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and evaluation of regenerable chalcogen containing antioxidants. Variously substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]selenophene-5-ol antioxidants were evaluated in order to gain information about structure/reactivity-relationships. LÄS MER
