(Copyright (C) 2008 ACS on SciFinder (R)) Abstract The
volatile oils from fresh leaves of Emilia sonchifolia, Eupatorium odoratum and
Spilanthes acmella were isolated by hydrodistn.
These volatile oils were detd. for their antioxidant capacities as well
as total phenolic compds. The three well
known methods; 1) 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothia-zoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium
salt; ABTS+ assay, 2) ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, 3) lipid
peroxidn. assay were used, resp., in order to obtain the antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content was evaluated
according to the Folin-Ciocalteu procedure.
Antioxidant screening of samples showed that the antioxidant activities
of the selected volatile oils ranged from 40 to 276 mmol Trolox equiv. per g, together
with FRAP assay ranged from 60 to 350 mmol Fe(II) equiv. per g, and
finally with the lipid peroxidn. assays ranged from 9.1% to 61.55%. In total phenolic compds. screening assay, the
results ranged from 12 to 308 GAE (mg/g). The results of this investigation
significantly showed that the volatile oil of S. acmella possessed both of the
highest antioxidant activity in all three assays as well as the total phenolic
compds. In addn., the volatile oil of S.
acmella was analyzed through a combination of gas chromatog. and mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with mass selective detecter (MSD). The major components of S. acmella were
germacrene-D (54.38%), trans-beta-caryophyllene (14.58%), beta-elemene (4.53%),
nor-copaanone (2.44%) and bicyclogermacrene (2.15%), resp. These results indicated that S. acmella has
proved to be a good source of antioxidants that might serve to protect health
and fight against diseases in the future. Bibliographic

(Copyright (C) 2008 ACS on SciFinder (R)) Abstract The
aril exts. of three Thai banana varieties, namely "Kluai Khai"(KK), "Kluai
Namwa"(KN) and "Kluai Hom"(KH) were analyzed by gas chromatog. and
mass spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS data
were used to identify 5 Me esters of each banana ext. after transesterification. The most prominent components found in KK, KN
and KH were hexadecanoic acid Me ester (43.17, 29.18, 30.57% resp.), 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic
acid Me ester (35.93, 30.46, 39.68% resp.), 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid Me ester
(14.35, 36.10, 21.82% resp.), 9-hexadecenoic acid Me ester (3.76, 3.34, 3.32%
resp.) and octadecanoic acid Me ester (2.79, 0.92, 4.60% resp.). The antioxidant activity of the crude oils
was evaluated using DPPH method. Bibliographic

(Copyright (C) 2008 ACS on SciFinder (R)) Abstract Electrocoagulation
of a plant ext. and certain substances representative of selected classes of
plant pigments, viz. chlorophyll, carotenoid, phenolic substances and tannin, was
performed in ethanol contg. varying amts. of water (15-75%). The results showed that the extent and
efficiency of coagulation of these substances tends to vary in a manner
directly related to the water content of the solvent, although the tannin and
the phenolic substance were less sensitive to the solvent compn. and are
equally well coagulated in all solvent systems studied. The findings can be applied to the removal of
these substances from aq. alc. plant exts. using the electrocoagulation

Library of Medicine on SciFinder (R)) Abstract Microwave-assisted
hydrodistillation was used to isolate an essential oil from the leaves of
Cinnamomum iners Reinw. ex Bl., and the results compared with those obtained by
conventional hydrodistillation. The
composition of the oil from both methods was found to be similar, and (-)-linalool
was found as the main component (30-50%).
The antioxidant activity of the essential oil obtained by both methods
was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and lipid peroxidation methods, all of
which indicated the same but insignificant activity.
