    Abstract: Crude juices of Sidr (Zizyphus Spina-Christi L.) from leaves were obtained by hydraulic press. The levels of polyphenolic compounds in the (leaves) juice were 510.00 and 722.00ppm. Aliquots of the concentrated sidr juice (leaves), represent 200, 400, 800 and 1600ppm and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT, 200ppm) were investigated by Rancimat method a... Show More
