Some local natural sources of antioxidant such as orange peel extract (Citrus sinensis), pomegranate peel extract (Punica granatum) and ginger extract (Zingiber officinale L.) were evaluated during 5 days storage of refined palm oil at 63°C as compared to the synthetic antioxidant such as propyl gallate. The above extracts were obtained with ethanol and oil (palm oil). Those extracts were added to the oil at two different levels (100 ppm and 200 ppm). Antioxidant activity of natural extracts, synthetic antioxidant and the control treatment without antioxidant under thermal treatment (Schaal test) was assessed by measuring acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), iodine value (IV) and refractive index (RI) during 6 days storage of refined palm oil at temperature mentioned above. Antioxidant activity also measured by studying the stability of oil by the use of rancimat method. All treatments exhibited antioxidant activity. Statistical analysis results were shown that the pomegranate peel extract treatment was significantly (P<0.05) superior than the orange peel extract and ginger extract treatments whereas, it was not significant difference about propyl gallate treatment.

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.
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 c ertain 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 antibacterial activity of Golden henbane (Hyoscyamus aureus) on several species of bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was determined. Samples of H. aureus plants were collected from six locations in southern Syria. The extract of roots and leaves of H. aureus were prepared at concentrations.
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.
The antibacterial activity of Inula viscosa L. leaves extracts against some pathogenic bacteria, which were isolated from Al-Assad hospital laboratory in Lattakia, was tested by disc diffusion method. Results showed that water extracts had antibacte rial activity against all Gram positive and negative bacteria. The diameters of inhibition zones were between 9 mm against Pseudomonas aeroginosa and 41 mm against Proteus vulgaris. All Gram positive bacteria showed sensitivity to all organic extracts, so they had antibacterial activity, while Gram negative bacteria showed resistance to chloroform extract except for the one of Klebsiella pneumoniae with an inhibition zone of 12 mm, and resistance for dichlormethan extract except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa with an inhibition zone of 15 mm. there was resistance for diethyl extract except for Serratia marcescens with an inhibition zone of 32 mm. Ethyl acetate extract had antibacterial activity against all bacteria. Ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts showed antibacterial activity against all bacteria except for Escherichia coli with an inhibition zone of 10 mm. This study indicated that water and organic Inula viscosa L. leaves extracts had antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria which also was tested, especially water extract, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate and hexane extracts. So the Inula viscosa L. leaves extracts may be sources for natural antibiotic in future.
