Safflower or Carthamus tinctorius L. has found clinical applications in treatment of certain diseases which involve inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to detect the ameliorative effects of safflower on alloxan-induced tissue injury. To do so, serum samples were collected from rats exposed to alloxan (120 mg/kg/day) and a combination of alloxan and safflower extract (100 and 200 mg/kg/day). All three experimental groups were compared to the control group. The collected serum was analysed for measurement of fasting serum glucose (FSG), serum insulin level, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), aspartate transferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Safflower significantly reduced the alloxan induced increase in FSG, TG, TC, AST, ALT, and ALP. Moreover, safflower significantly reversed the alloxan induced reduction in serum insulin. Interestingly, the greater the increase in safflower dose (100 versus 200 mg/kg/day), the better the outcomes of the measured parameters. Alloxan significantly induced pancreatic and liver injury, indicated by elevated glycemic and lipid profile alongside elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT, and ALP). These defects were significantly ameliorated by safflower extract in dose dependent manner.

Effect of storage on the concentration of total phenolic compounds in Brazilian green coffee
Jun 12, 2024

Journal Alkut university college journal

DOI DOI 10.1088/1755-1315/1371/6/062015

Issue Volume 2024, spacial issue

The aim of the current study is to determine the effect of storing green Brazilian coffee in open conditions on the concentration of phenolic compounds. The moisture content of the coffee was adjusted to 5, 10, and 15%, then cardamom was added in the following concentrations: 0, 0.5, and 1.5%. The control treatment was free of cardamom powder. Samples were then stored for periods of 2, 4, and 6 months. The temperature and relative humidity of the samples were measured during storage periods relative to their monthly averages. Total phenolic compounds were determined for all coffee treatments. The results showed that the monthly averages of temperature and relative humidity during storage periods varied from one month to another and the averages ranged between 28.55 - 38.17 °C and 44.85 - 55.28%

The Prsence of Ochratoxin a in Brazilizn Coffee Exposed to Storing and Roasting‏

DOI DOI 10.1088/1755-1315/1371/6/062015

Volume 16

The aim of this study was to know the effect of storage and roasting on Brazilian coffee in open conditions of fungi activity and secretion of ochratoxins A. The moisture in coffee was adjusted to 5, 10 and 15% and cardamom powder was added by the following concentrations namely, 0.5, 1 and 1.5%, and the control sample was freed off cardamom powder. Then, samples were stored for period s of 2, 4 and 6 months. After each storage period, 50% of the coffee was toasted and the second half of the coffee was remained green. Temperature and relative humidity of the samples were measured during storage periods related to their monthly rates. Total number of contaminated fungi, dispersal percent and concentration of ochratoxin A for coffee were determined. Moisture content was determined. Results show that, monthly averages of temperature and relative humidity during storage periods were varied from one month to other and the averages were ranged between 28.55-38.17 ºC and 44.85-55.28%, respectively. After adjusting the moisture content in coffee to above levels, the moisture in Brazilian coffee was decreased to 1.52-2.52 and 1.01–1.7% at the end of the storage period (6 months) in green and toasted coffee, respectively. The total number of fungi in green coffee was decreased with increasing the storage period and ranged between 12.00-45.66 x 103cfu/g, while toasted coffee for both kinds were freed off fungi. Result show that fungus, Aspergillus was dominated in both kinds of coffee, especially, A. flavus, A. ochreceus, and A. niger, fungi of group Penicillium and yeasts were found in low percent.

The aim of this study is to know the effect of storage of Brazilian coffee in open conditions in its chemical properties. Moisture content of coffee adjusted to 5, 10 and 15% and cardamom powder was added by the following concentrations namely, 0, 0.5 and 1.5%, and the control sample was freed off cardamom powder. Then, samples were stored for periods of 2, 4 and 6 months. Temperature and relative humidity of the samples were measured during storage periods related to their monthly rates. Chemical components of all treatments of coffee were determined including, moisture content, fats, proteins, ash, carbohydrates, total phenolic compounds and caffeine. Results show that, monthly averages of temperature and relative humidity during storage periods were varied from one month to other and the averages were ranged between 28.55-38.17 ºC and 44.85-55.28%, respectively.
