Iron and lipid peroxidation are believed to be involved in the degeneration of pigmented neurons in Parkinson's disease. Melanin-iron interaction is thought to play a role in iron accumulation and reactivity. The purpose of this study was to examine antioxidant properties of isolated natural and
The formation of 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in vegetable oils and model oil systems were quantitatively assessed by RP-HPLC. Regardless of heating temperature, HHE was only detected in rapeseed and linseed oil, while HNE was detected in all tested oils. Intrinsic
The oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in culinary oils and fats during episodes of heating associated with normal usage (80-300 degrees C, 20-40 min) has been monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal oxidation of PUFAs is a free radical
In the last decade, a multitude of secondary products have been identified from the radical and photosensitized oxidations of polyunsaturated lipids. These secondary products consist of oxygenated monomeric materials including epoxy-hydroperoxides, oxo-hydroperoxides, hydroperoxy epidioxides,
Antioxidant activities of volatile extracts isolated from thyme, basil, rosemary, chamomile, lavender, and cinnamon were evaluated by two independent assays: the aldehyde/carboxylic acid assay and the conjugated diene assay. The volatile extracts were prepared from dried herbs and spices using
