    Fresh leaves of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) were exposed to ambient upland rice vinegar (URV) vapor containing 4% acetic acid (AA) for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 min, before packing in polyethylene bags and storing at 12°C. This extended the postharvest storage life of sweet basil by retaining greenness, freshness, and antioxidants. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results showed a number of other volatiles in URV vapor, including ethyl acetate, propane, pentanal, and acetic acid.

    Aqueous and ethanolic extracts from the edible flowers of Telosma minor (cowslip creeper), and Sesbania javanica (sesbania) were assessed for their their total phenolics, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity, and anti-lipid peroxidation ability. Aqueous extracts of cowslip creeper had the highest activities as a DPPH radical scavenger and as an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. The value of the half-maximal effective concentration (EC<inf>50</inf>) for DPPH radical-scavenging of the aqueous cowslip creeper extract was 252.5 mg L<sup>−1</sup>, compared to the EC<inf>50</inf> values for the standards, ascorbic acid, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which were 2.26 and 21.80 mg L<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. For anti-lipid peroxidation, the IC<inf>50</inf> (the half-maximal inhibition concentration) value of the aqueous cowslip creeper extract was 1539.93 mg L<sup>−1</sup> while the IC<inf>50</inf> value of BHT was 683.5 mg L<sup>−1</sup>. The aqueous extract of cowslip creeper had the highest total phenolic concentration (991.3 mg gallic acid equivalents 100 g<sup>−1</sup> DW). The total phenolic content in cowslip creeper and sesbania flowers had high positive correlation with their antioxidant activities and anti-lipid peroxidation. The aqueous extract of sesbania flowers was the most heat stable antioxidant (100°C for 15 or 30 min), decreasing in total phenolic content but no changes in DPPH scavenging or in anti-lipid peroxidation activity.
