These apples were reported to contain phenolic compounds in the highest concentrations which consequently makes them anti-ageing and antioxidant in nature. These properties were tested by the researchers in a series of three experiments.
According to tophealthjournal.com, the results of the experiments showed that a dose of apple extract of about 10 mg/ml was significant enough to extend the viability of cells even after several days of the growth. It was concluded that the apple extracts can extend the lifespan of yeast cells and can protect the cells from oxidative stress.
