Study of antioxidant properties and component composition of cereal crop extracts
The scientific work researched the level of inhibition of Fenton's reagent-initiated lipid peroxidation (LPO) and oxidative modification of proteins (OMP) processes in rat hepatocytes in vitro, as an effect of aqueous, and 40, 70% aqueous-ethanolic extracts of wheat and oat bran. Qualitative reactions were used to assess the total amount of phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) identified gallic acid, ferulic acid, and quercetin in the samples of the studied objects.
