Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants, which acts either as the metal component of enzymes or a functional structural regulatory co-factor large number enzymes. To understand possible benefits applying nanotechnology to agriculture, first step should be analyze penetration and transport nano-particles in plants. The present study was conducted test hypothesis that copper nanoparticle would enter into plant cell govern growth maize plant.A solution culture experiment...
Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) Mc. Vaugh (Myrtaceae)) has shown potential for food and human health applications due to its rich bioactive functional properties linked high antioxidant activity. The main objective of this study was identify antioxidant-linked phenolic profiles in spray-dried freeze dried camu-camu pulp evaluate functionality associated with anti-hyperglycemia anti-hypertension using vitro enzyme assay models. Further, antimicrobial planarian-based cellular protection...
The crude extract of Swertia chirayita , an important medicinal plant Nepal, is locally used for many diseases including type 2 diabetes. In this study, aqueous and 12% ethanol solution extracts S. collected from nine districts Nepal were analyzed anti‐diabetic‐linked anti‐hyperglycemia potential using in vitro biochemical assays. There was moderate‐to‐high positive correlation between antioxidant activity total phenolic content both α‐glucosidase inhibitory activity. Although the...
Abstract Beneficial effects on overall gut health by phenolic bioactives‐rich foods are potentially due to their modulation of probiotic bacteria and antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Based this rationale, the effect free bound fractions from a Peruvian purple corn accession AREQ‐084 lactic acid such as Lactobacillus helveticus Bifidobacterium longum gastric cancer‐related pathogen Helicobacter pylori was evaluated. The composition also determined ultra‐performance liquid...
Improving food and nutritional diversity based on the of traditional plant-based foods is an important dietary strategy to address challenges rapidly emerging diet- lifestyle-linked noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) indigenous communities worldwide. Restoration native ecosystems, revival crop cultivation, knowledge preparation, processing, preservation are steps build support strategies against NCD epidemic contemporary communities. Recent studies have indicated that many Native...
Chickpea is a rich source of dietary protein and human health promoting phenolic bioactives globally used as food ingredients in contemporary ethnic cuisines. This makes chickpea an excellent target functional for high-value health-focused nutraceutical applications. Important specific interest targeting counter measures to risks associated with non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). Therefore, beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB) based fermentation strategy was recruited improve...
Phenolics- enriched plant food sources are excellent dietary and therapeutic targets to combat the increasing prevalence of diet lifestyle-influenced non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Among sources, edible flowers rich in health protective phenolic compounds provide novel opportunities ingredient nutraceutical sources. Roselle ( Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn.) is a popular flower consumed part traditional cuisines processed foods several countries Asia...
Traditional fermented foods with unique nutritional profiles are affordable and accessible dietary sources that support basic needs of many communities around the world. Ogi is a combined cereal (Maize/Sorghum/other Millets) -based food Nigeria Sub-Saharan Africa, widely used as breakfast for adults weaning infants. However, during processing from grains into slurries, significant losses essential nutrients occurs, which affect overall quality. Therefore, improving specific health-targeted...
The role of the antioxidant response system in association with proline-associated pentose phosphate pathway for cold adaptation was investigated three cool-season turfgrasses during a acclimation period. As phenolic biosynthesis and stimulation is proposed to be linked pathway, this study aimed determine active proline metabolic regulation its relationship stress tolerance mechanism turfgrasses. In study, significant accumulation total soluble phenolics higher activity observed creeping...
The well-known health benefits of apples have been attributed in part to the presence polyphenols and related antioxidant capacity. consumption could provide by reducing risk for chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome disease, including type 2 diabetes. Thus, objective this study was investigate phenolic-linked antihyperglycemia bioactive factors aqueous 12% ethanol extracts peel pulp from 10 different freshly harvested apple varieties commonly consumed United States. were analyzed...
