The effect of roasting, storage temperature, and ethanoic basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) extract on the oxidative stability of crude sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) oil

Abrehet F. Gebremeskel et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the fatty acid profile and oxidative stability of crude sesame oil (CSO). Roasting treatment increased the extraction yield and unsaturated fatty acid content of the CSO, but the moisture content exceeded the tolerable limit. Elevated temperature during storage accelerated oxidation, while the addition of basil extract inhibited oxidation.

Flavonoids and Polyphenolic Compounds as Potential Talented Agents for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and their Antioxidant Activities

Rokeya Akter et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the contributions of aging to neurodegenerative diseases and the limitations of traditional medications. The most common cause of death in the elderly population is Alzheimer's disease, and specific therapeutic molecules for Alzheimer's disease only provide symptom relief in palliative treatment, as current medications are not effective in targeting the cause of the disease.

Health benefits of phytochemicals from Brazilian native foods and plants: Antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-cancer, and risk factors of metabolic/endocrine disorders control

Anna Paula Azevedo de Carvalho et al.

Summary: Brazil's diverse native flora contains bioactive compounds that show high inhibition rates against various parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria, often outperforming reference antibiotics. These compounds demonstrate cancer cell selectivity, no cytotoxicity to healthy cells, and a balance between prooxidants and antioxidants that can control cancer cell proliferation. Additionally, the flora can help avoid oxidative stress and other risk factors associated with metabolic disorders.

Potential role of free-radical processes in biomolecules damage during COVID-19 and ways of their regulation

Oleg Shadyro et al.

Summary: The development of COVID-19 infection is often accompanied by hypoxia, which can lead to free-radical damage to biomolecules. Substances with both reducing and oxidizing properties, like quinones, bioflavonoids, and curcuminoids, may help reduce the likelihood of biomolecule destruction by oxidation and free-radical fragmentation processes.
