Screening of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) seed extracts (2003, background): “…has considerably increased in finding naturally occurring antioxidant for use in foods or medicinal materials to replace synthetic antioxidants, which are being restricted due to their side effects such as carcinogenecity (Ito, Fukushima, Hasegawa, Shibata, & Ogiso, 1983; Zheng & Wang, 2001).”
Modifications of antioxidant activity and protein composition of bean leaf due to Bean yellow mosaic virus infection and salicylic acid treatments (2010, background): “To support, it is reported that phenolic compounds are considered as free radical scavenging molecules, which are rich in their antioxidant activity (Velioglu et al. 1998; Zheng and Wang 2001; Cai et al. 2003).”
A review of the bioactivity and potential health benefits of peppermint tea (Mentha piperita L.) (2006, methodology): “The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value for an aqueous solution of previously frozen fresh M. piperita leaves (supernatant of 2.0 g homogenized in 15 mL buffer) was among the highest found in an analysis of popular medicinal herbs by Zheng and Wang (2001).”
Antioxidant Activities, Total Phenolics and Flavonoids Content in Two Varieties of Malaysia Young Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) (2010, background): “Generation of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) during metabolism and other activities beyond the antioxidant capacity of a biological system gives rise to oxidative stress [2], which plays a role in heart diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and in the aging process [3].”
Dietary inclusion of dried Artemisia annua leaves for management of coccidiosis and growth enhancement in chickens (2008, background): “This is not surprising since Artemisia species are generally known as rich sources of antioxidants including flavonoids, coumarins (Zheng and Wang, 2001; El-Massry et al., 2002; Juteau et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2004; Canadanovic-Brunet et al., 2005; Kordali et al., 2005; Toda, 2005; Bilia et al., 20”
