Assessing the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of foods plays a significant role in dietary guidance and disease risk reduction. Therefore, building a simple, rapid, and sensitive sensing method for detecting TAC possesses broad application prospects. Herein, we constructed a novel nanozyme catalyzed‒surface-enhanced Raman resonance scattering (SERRS) sensing strategy for analysis of TAC based on polyvinylpyrrolidone coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@PVP) that was synthesized by one step reduction method. AuNPs@PVP not only served as the SERRS substrate but also possessed high oxidase activity which can catalyze 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation by generating hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide anion free radical (•O). According to the inhibiting effect of antioxidants, ascorbic acid (AA) was selected as the representative for TAC detection. The linear range and limit of detection (LOD) were determined to be 10‒10 M and 0.6 nM, respectively. More importantly, the proposed nanozyme catalyzed‒SERRS strategy has been successfully applied to the detection of TAC in fruit juices, demonstrating promising potential in the field of food supervision and healthcare applications.

Hippophae salicifolia, commonly known as sea buckthorn, is native to the Indian Himalayan region. This study is the first to comprehensively assess the phytochemical profile and biological activities of H. salicifolia leaves extracted through maceration, infusion, and percolation (Soxhlet apparatus) methods.

The present study aimed to (1) evaluate the effects of different concentrations of the polysaccharide extract of Cissus sicyoides (PE-Cs) during in vitro culture of preantral follicles included in goat ovarian tissue on (i) follicular morphology and activation, (ii) ovarian stromal density, (iii) follicular and oocyte diameters, (iv) antioxidant enzymes activity (SOD, CAT, and GPx), (v) quantification of MDA, thiol, and nitrite levels; as well as to (2) measure the total antioxidant capacity of the extract. The ovarian cortex fragments were cultured at 39 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO for 6 d in alpha-modified minimum essential medium (αMEM) supplemented with insulin, transferrin, and selenium; hypoxanthine; glutamine; and bovine serum albumin, which was called αMEM alone or added of PE-Cs at 20, 40, or 80 µg/mL. At the end of the culture period, a reduction in the percentage of normal follicles in all treatments using PE-Cs compared to fresh control and αMEM.

This study presents an eco-friendly approach for the green synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnONPs) using () (einkorn wheat) seed extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized MnONPs were characterized by UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, BET, and zeta potential analyses, which confirmed their crystalline nature, spherical morphology, and mesoporous structure with a surface area of 41.50 m/g.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine and compare the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial effects of spindle leaves of L. () (oleaster) leaves.
Methods: Total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, phenolic compound analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and antimicrobial effect by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method.
