The effect of phenolic compounds were extracted from leaves of Dan
and Toufahi sorts of Syrian olives, spread particularly in Damascus
country, studied on the activity of Guaiacol peroxidise in the celles of
Kolioptyl Zea myse L. Solutions of thre
e different concentrations of
phenolic extracts are used in the work : 25% , 50% and 100%.
The phenolic compounds were extracted from leaves and flowers of Hops and grape
seeds from local production by soaking with different solvents (Methanol-ethanol-alcohol
and water mixture) . The polyphenols content in the methanol extracts for 100 g
dry matter
was 6.31 g for the grape seeds, 2.08 g for Hops leaves and 0.6 g for Hops flowers.
Methanol extracts were characterized by an antioxidant activity that appeared by their
ability to Reduce ions ferriques Fe+3, at a concentration of 2500 ppm, the Reducing Power
was 96.45% , 67.56% for the grape seeds and Hops leaves, respectively. The methanolic
extracts of grape seeds and Hops leaves at 80 ppm showed activity in scavenge free radical
DPPH. was 82.04% and 40.92% respectively. The methanolic extracts of grape seeds and
Hops leaves at 250 ppm gave the ability to protect linoleic acid from the oxidation process
of 78.98% and 48.41%, respectively. The antioxidant activity values of the extracts were
compared with standard samples of ascorbic acid and BHT.
