Functional foods are similar to conventional food and demonstrate beneficial effects beyond their nutritional value. These effects are attributed to the presence of functional ingredients. Functional ingredients can either be found naturally in a certain food or added to it. There’s a number of functional food products available in the market. For example, natural functional juices containing polyphenols. The aim of this study is to determine total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in some local functional juices. Total phenolic content was determined according to Folin- Ciocalteu method. The highest in content was mulberry juice, while the lowest was red grape juice. The best conditions for eliminating ascorbic acid were also determined which were heating for 30 min at 75°C. Antioxidant activity was subsequently determined using potassium ferricyanide. The highest in phenolic content among the studied juices were the highest in antioxidant activity. Thus a strong correlation was found between total phenolic content and antioxidant activity.

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.
The aim of this study was to determine the phenolic content in the fruit, leaf and root samples of the fennel plant and in the fruit samples from several different areas, and then to determine the antioxidant capacity of these samples.
Classified locality Yeasts have been culturing in plantology department at the Faculty of Science-University of Damascus, from genera of Pichia, Candida, Geotrichum, Rhodotorula, Phaffia on solid Czhapek agar medium, and after incubated in appropr iate conditions their colonies showed evidence of different colors to produce a variety of pigments. Then it cultured in liquid Czhapek medium to increase biomass and the genera producing endocellular pigment separated from the medium by filtration with added ethanol on them and blasting cells by ultrasonic waves to get a pigment, while the genera producing exocellular pigment is separated about the liquid medium also by filtration but the solvent was added to the medium containing the pigment.
Phenols were studied in the leaves of Syrian olive varieties collected from (Harasta and Ghouta, Damascus Countryside and Qalamun). Phenolic compounds were extracted from the olive leaf varieties after disposal of plant pigments and fatty compounds, and total phenols separated with solvent (methanol - water).
Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi) is one of many citrus species that are widely cultivated in the west Mediterranean coast of Syria, the fruit is rich in flavonoid (a natural medical compounds), naringin considered the major flavonoid in Grapefruit. Pr evious studies have documented a wide range of biological effects and therapeutic properties that belong to naringin; therefore, it became a raw material in pharmaceutical industries. It was the aim of this study is to have naringin extracted from grapefruit by an economic method, and assign its levels, in preparation for industrial investment. Two types (red blush) and (march) where collected from three districts in Syrian coast, they were collected at the beginning of harvest season and at the end of it, fruits grown in sun light and those grown in shade were collected tow, so that healthy fruit and partly infected. A water alkaline method was applied to extract naringin, then a quantitive and qualitative determination was made to the resulting compound. Results revealed that naringin content in March grapefruit at the beginning of the harvest season was 45.53 g/kg and 44.8 g/kg in Red Blush grapefruit so on at the end of the harvest season it was 10.29 g/kg in March and 9.32 g/kg in Red Rlush. We have concluded that that Syrian Grapefruit have sufficient naringin cotent for economical investment, and that water alkaline method is a suitable economic method to extract naringin from grapefruit white peels.
