Green Tea, made from Camellia sinensis plant leaves, is one of the most popular drinks in the world. For the past decades, scientists have studied this plant in terms of potential health benefits. Research has shown that green tea helps prevent stroke, malignancy and infections. In this paper, antioxidant activity and total phenol content of 4 samples of green tea from local Tuzla stores were investigated, of which two were of foreign origin. The antioxidant activity of the samples was analyzed using FRAP and DPPH methods. The obtained results show that the highest content of total phenols and the largest antioxidant capacity has a sample of foreign origin. The content of total phenols in the samples ranges from 60.01 to 79.34 mg GAE/g. The highest FRAP value is 3.34 mmol/g. The antioxidant capacity was also confirmed by the DPPH method. The IC50 value ranges from 0.014 to 0.030 mg/mL.

Physicochemical and Spectroscopic Characterization of Biofield Energy Treated...rachelsalk
The p-anisidine is widely used as chemical intermediate in the production of various dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of biofield energy treatment on the physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of p-anisidine. The study was performed after dividing the sample in two groups; one was remained as untreated and another was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Afterward, both the control and treated samples of p-anisidine were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis-derivative thermogravimetry (TGA-DTG), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The XRD analysis showed the increase in unit cell volume from 683.81 → 690.18 × 10-24 cm3 and crystallite size from 83.84→84.62 nm in the treated sample with respect to the control. The surface area analysis exhibited the significant increase (25.44%) in the surface area of treated sample as compared to control. The DSC thermogram of control p-anisidine showed the latent heat of fusion and melting temperature and 146.78 J/g and 59.41°C, respectively, which were slightly increased to 148.89 J/g and 59.49°C, respectively after biofield treatment. The TGA analysis showed the onset temperature of thermal degradation at 134.68°C in the control sample that was increased to 150.02°C after biofield treatment. The result showed about 11.39% increase in onset temperature of thermal degradation of treated p-anisidine as compared to the control. Moreover, the Tmax (temperature at which maximum thermal degradation occurs) was also increased slightly from 165.99°C (control) to 168.10°C (treated). This indicated the high thermal stability of treated p-anisidine as compared to the control. However, the FT-IR and UV spectroscopic studies did not show any significant changes in the spectral properties of treated p-anisidine with respect to the control.

Total Antioxidant Capacity of Labdane and Pimarane Diterpenoids of Juniperus ...Editor IJCATR
Although Juniperus phoenicea L is a widely distributed wild tree in the south of Saudi Arabia, but its phytochemical and physiological evaluation is still poor. The chromatographic separation of the CH2Cl2/MeOH, 1:1 extract of J, phoenicea L. fruits gave β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, four labdane and two pimarane diterpenoids, including new labdane diterpenoid. Additionally, the volatile compounds of the main petroleum ether extract, as well as the steam-volatile constituents were identified by GC/MS. The separated compounds were identified by spectral tools. The new diterpenoid was identified as 5,9,10-triepicupressic acid.
A previous false identification of sandracopimaric acid, from the fruits of Juniperus phoenicea L. grown in Egypt, was detected and declared to be revised.
Total antioxidant capacity of extracts was estimated using total antioxidant capacity kit of Biodiagnostic, based on Koracevic et al., for biological fluids, with slight modification to suit extracts. Ascorbic acid was used as a reference antioxidant compound. Reasonable results were obtained by applying the modified method on petroleum ether extract, methylene chloride extract and ethyl acetate extract of Juniperus phoenicea L.

Among the compounds identified in G. sylvestre, the notable ones
were terpenoids, essential fatty acids and alcohol compounds. It was
found that the foods originating from plants having an increased
level of triterpenes are thought to have a cholesterol lowering effect.
Triterpenoid saponins are a class of plant secondary metabolites
originated via the isoprenoid pathway by cyclization of 2, 3-
oxidosqualene precursor in which one or more sugar residues are
added [16] and leading to the formation of the triterpenoid skeleton
of b-amyrin and related glycosides. Vitamin E [4.9 %] might not have
a role in the antimicrobial activity, but is an excellent free radical
scavenger involved in the prevention of prostate cancer [17].
Stigmasterol, found in both aerial and root extracts of G. sylvestre
may not be directly involved in exhibiting antimicrobial activity, but
could cause the synergistic effect of the compounds present in the
extracts [18]. The synergism exhibited by all the compounds in G.
sylvestre extracts could be responsible for the antimicrobial and
antidiabetic activity in a big way. The phytochemical composition
through mass spectrometry is usually the proper springboard to

convey the pharmacological importance and therapeutic nature of
the plant species. It is very clear from the present study, the
ethanolic extract of the G. sylvestre contain terpenes, fatty acid,
alcohols, amine and vitamin which have various pharmacological
activities such as anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antioxidant,
antidiabetic, antimicrobial and many more. Phytochemical
composition investigation is one of the tools for the standardization
of the herbal drug. In future, this study will be used to check the
genuine nature of the plant powder, thus it plays an important role
in preventing the possible steps of adulteration.
