Apiin is one of the major flavonoids found in the aromatic herb parsley. It is a bi-glycosylated form of apigenin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Apiin is well-known for its antioxidant properties. It can enhance the production of β-apiosidase, an extracellular glycosidase in Aspergillus niger. Apiin also exerts antiplatelet activity.
Apiin, a major flavonoid component of celery, shows antiinflammatory activity mediated through inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis and inhibition of iNOS expression.
Drying process of parsley leaves from Petroselinum crispum L. can influence the sensory qualities and aromatic taste of this herbal product. Beside oven-dried material, freeze-dried parsley is getting increasingly into the market. In the course of a search for analytical
