The use of plants with high antioxidant activity in cooking

The quality of food has a significant impact on human health and longevity. Antioxidants are found in large quantities in herbaceous plants. Therefore, foods with high antioxidant activity can be considered one aspect of their quality. Antioxidants, in turn, are a form of activity that inhibits the free-radical oxidative processes that occur in living organisms. Consumption of foods high in antioxidants helps maintain normal human health. Antioxidants are used as food supplements or in prepared meals. Therefore, this article discusses the preparation of food using herbs with high antioxidant activity, based on which the antioxidant content of the finished food, vitamin E indicators. Especially in terms of antioxidant content, it is contained in higher amounts in sweet mint bread products than in dill

Linguistic Representation of Feminist Vocabulary in German

The purpose of this article is to study the linguistic representation of feminist vocabulary in German. The paper presents key terms and definitions, research methodology, as well as results and discussion. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the collection of texts containing feminist vocabulary, and the subsequent analysis of these texts based on theoretical concepts. As a result of the study, it was revealed that feminist vocabulary in the German language is presented in a variety of ways, and its use is associated with a change in public opinion about gender issues. The results of this study can be used for further research in the field of linguistics, gender studies and sociology

Systematic Analysis of Combined Antioxidant and Membrane-Stabilizing Properties of Several Lamiaceae Family Kazakhstani Plants for Potential Production of Tea Beverages

One of the most important compounds that exhibit a wide range of biological activities with especially strong antioxidant action are plant polyphenols. In the course of the experiment, the dose-dependent effects of polyphenols-rich extracts isolated from the Lamiaceae family Kazakhstani plants were studied on the processes of lipid peroxidation and on the degree of erythrocytes hemolysis. The activity of aqueous-ethanolic extracts from dried parts of plants, such as Origanum vulgare, Ziziphora bungeana, Dracocephalum integrifolium, Mentha piperita, Leonurus turkestanicus, Thymus serpyllum, and Salvia officinalis, was studied in a Wistar rat model. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) in liver microsomes was assessed by measuring malondialdehyde content in the form of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS). Estimation of osmotic resistance of isolated erythrocytes was evaluated based on hemoglobin absorbance. The amount of total phenolics in the extracts was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent method. Based on the results, Thymus serpyllum extract exhibited a significantly higher antioxidant activity (IC50 = 3.3 ± 0.7) compared to other plant extracts. Accordingly, among the extracts studied, those from Salvia officinalis, Thymus serpyllum, and Origanum vulgare show the most pronounced membrane-stabilizing activity. Antioxidant and antihemolytic properties of green tea and Origanum vulgare extract mixtures were similar to that of each individual plant extract. Similar results were obtained when the green tea extract was mixed with Mentha piperita, Ziziphora bungeana, and Dracocephalum integrifolium extracts, indicating no discernible synergistic interaction
