Title :  ANALYSIS OF VOLATILE COMPONENTS DERIVED FROM RAW AND ROASTED EARTH-ALMOND (CYPERUS ESCULENTUS L.).
Abstract :      Volatile aroma components of raw earth almond (Nagaramusta) and those developed in a roasting process were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to determine the identity of compounds that would indicate the degree of roasting. In all, 143 components (ca.90 percent of the total isolate) were postively identified, of which 138 are reported as earth almond volatiles for the first time. The main flavor compounds identified in raw earth almond were alcohols, whereas in roasted earth almond, the majority of the volatiles identified suggest the flavor formation is via the Maillard reaction, with pyrazines contributing directly to the roasted flavor of earth almond.

EFFECT OF OCIMUM SANCTUM ROOTS EXTRACT ON SWIMMING PERFORMANCE IN MICE

Abstract no :  4-1..4-DG-240 Author(s) :  Maity, T.K.; Mandal, S.C.; Saha, B.P.; Pal, M Address :  ( Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jadavpur University, Calcutta 700 032, WB, India) Source :  Phytotherapy Research, v. 14(2): p. 120-121, 2000 Title :  EFFECT OF OCIMUM SANCTUM ROOTS EXTRACT ON SWIMMING PERFORMANCE IN MICE Abstract :      Methanol extract, obtained from the roots of Ocimum sanctum (TULASI ) at a dose of 400 mg/kg, i.p. increased the swimming time suggesting a central nervous system stimulant and/or antistress activity. The effect produced by the extract was comparable to that of desipramine, an antidepressant drug.

GERMINATED BARLEY FOODSTUFF IMPROVES CONSTIPATION INDUCED BY LOPERAMIDE IN RATS.

Author(s) :  . (Applied Bioresearch Center, Corporate Research and Development Division Kirin Brewery Company Limited, Miyaharacho 3, Takasaki, Gunma  370-1295, Japan), Address :  Kannuchi,0.; Hitomi, Y.; Agata, K.; Nakamura, T.; Fushiki, T Source :   Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, v. 62(9): p. 1788-1790, 1998 Title :  GERMINATED BARLEY FOODSTUFF IMPROVES CONSTIPATION INDUCED BY LOPERAMIDE IN RATS. Abstract :      The effects of germinated barley (YAVA) foodstuff (GBF) derived from the aleurone and scutellum fractions of germinated barley low-lignified hemicellulose were examined in Sprague-Dawley rats with constipation induced by Loperamide by addition to the diet (2 mg/kg body weight). Bowel movements were higher in the GBF-fed rats than in the cellulose-fed rats used as control. Fecal water content was also higher in the GBF-fed rats. The concentration of short chain fatty acids in cecal content, especially butyrate, was signi...

ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND TOTAL PHENOLICS IN SELECTED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND GRAIN PRODUCTS

Abstract no :  3-1...4-SV-360 Author(s) :   (Food Research program, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Pacific Agri-Food Research Center, Summerland, British Columbia VOH IZO, Canada) Address :  Velioglu, Y.S.; Mazza, G.; Gao, L.; Oomah, B.D Source :  , J. of Agricultural & Food Chemistry, v.46(10): p.4113-7, 1998 Title :  ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND TOTAL PHENOLICS IN SELECTED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND GRAIN PRODUCTS Abstract :      The antioxidant activities and total phenolics of 28 plant products, including sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, wheat germ, buckwheat, and several fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants were determined. The total phenolic content, determined according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method, varied from 169 to 10548 mg/100 g of dry product. Antioxidant activity of methanolic extract evaluated according to the beta-carotene bleaching method expressed as AOX (deltalog A170/min), AA (percent inhibition relative to control), OR...
