Antioxidant properties of evening primrose seed extracts

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY, 49(9), 4502–4507.

By: A. Birch n, G. Fenner n, R. Watkins n & L. Boyd n

author keywords: evening primrose; antioxidants; oxidation
MeSH headings : Antioxidants / metabolism; Emulsions; Fatty Acids, Essential / analysis; Fatty Acids, Essential / chemistry; Linoleic Acids; Oenothera biennis; Oxidation-Reduction; Plant Extracts; Plant Oils; Seeds; Time Factors; gamma-Linolenic Acid
TL;DR: The SE extract was more effective in controlling the oxidation in the oil-in-water model system than in the bulk oil system, and at higher concentrations the SE was as effective as BHT, but it required higher concentrations because of its lack of purity. (via Semantic Scholar)

Carotenoid composition of marigold (Tagetes erecta) flower extract used as nutritional supplement

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY, 47(10), 4189–4194.

By: W. Hadden n, R. Watkins n, L. Levy n, E. Regalado n, D. Rivadeneira n, R. Breemen  n, S. Schwartz n

author keywords: lutein; marigold (Tagetes erecta); poultry; feed colorant
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animals; Carotenoids / analysis; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Dietary Supplements; Food Coloring Agents; Humans; Nutritive Value; Plant Extracts / chemistry; Poultry
TL;DR: This compositional determination is important for the application of marigold extract in nutritional supplements and increases its value as a poultry feed colorant because it contains more biologically useful lutein compounds than previously believed. (via Semantic Scholar)

1997 journal article

Bixin and norbixin in human plasma: Determination and study of the absorption of a single dose of Annatto Food Color

ANALYST, 122(9), 977–980.

By: L. Levy*, E. Regalado, S. Navarrete & R. Watkins*

author keywords: bixin; norbixin; carotenoids; intestinal absorption; human plasma; high-performance liquid chromatography
MeSH headings : Carotenoids / analysis; Carotenoids / blood; Carotenoids / metabolism; Food Coloring Agents / analysis; Humans; Intestinal Absorption; Plants, Edible; Stereoisomerism
TL;DR: A procedure was developed for the detection and determination of bixin and norbixin in human plasma by reversed-phase HPLC with a sensitivity limit of 5 micrograms l-1 and significant individual variations were observed. (via Semantic Scholar)
