The content of the flavonoid rutin was determined in different milling fractions buckwheat seeds and stems, leaves, flowers. extraction performed by using a solvent containing 60% ethanol 5% ammonia water. extracts were analyzed capillary electrophoresis (running buffer 50 mM borate (pH 9.3), 100 sodium dodecyl sulfate; determination at 380 nm). In bran concentration 131−476 ppm, flour 19−168 ppm. On average, about 300, 1000, 46000 ppm found flowers, respectively. results indicate that could...
ABSTRACT Buckwheat seeds ( Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) were milled into 23 fractions: seven fine flours, three coarse four small semolina, two big six bran, and one husk fraction. A considerable variation in gross chemical composition was found among the milling fractions. The protein content varied from 4.4 to 11.9% (db) flours 19.2 31.3% bran fractions; starch 91.7 70.4% 42.6 20.3 bran. percentage of soluble dietary fiber contained total higher than semolina Ash, Fe, P, tannin, phytate...
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the leading cause of antibiotic prescriptions, primarily due to risk for secondary bacterial infections. In this study, we examined whether Echinacea could reduce need antibiotics by preventing RTIs and their complications, subsequently investigated its safety profile. A comprehensive search EMBASE, PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane DARE clinicaltrials.gov identified 30 clinical trials (39 comparisons) studying prevention or treatment in 5652 subjects....
Medicinal plants accumulate heavy metals from contaminated soil, and their consumption can cause poisoning. Our objective was to determine the levels of Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn in four medicinal plant species (Achillea millefolium, Hypericum perforatum, Plantago lanceolata, Urtica dioica) native all sampled at a former smelter. The highest soil Zn surpassed maximum allowed limit 75-fold, 48-fold, 14-fold, respectively. Their correlated with those plants, but this not case Mn. Heavy metal...
The present study explores an alternative method for antioxidants determination in buckwheat (Fagopyrum) samples. Buckwheat contains different amounts of the rutin, quercetin and quercitrin plant parts. seeds are most commonly used as food; however, preparations from herb can also be a rich source rutin. Infrared spectroscopy was individual sum quantification whole ground flowers leaves seven species. Correlation coefficients R calibration independent validation set were 1.00 0.98, 0.94...

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is effective in preventing severe Covid-19, but efficacy reducing viral load and transmission wanes over time. In addition, the emergence of novel variants increases threat uncontrolled dissemination additional antiviral therapies are urgently needed for containment. previous vitro studies Echinacea purpurea demonstrated strong activity against enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. this study, we examined potential treating respiratory tract infections (RTIs)...
Dried buckwheat herb is used in medicinal products whereas fresh green plant parts, especially sprouts, are consumed as a vegetable. The contains fagopyrins, which cause sensitivity to light after ingestion. aim of this study was investigate the impact different growing conditions and development phase on content fagopyrin phenolic compounds sprouts. Total flavonoid total phenol contents, antioxidant activity were determined spectrophotometrically. Fagopyrin flavonoids located almost...
No comprehensive research has been conducted on the traditional use of wild-grown edible plants in human nutrition for Slovene ethnic area so far. In literature wild plants, authors often draw information about their from foreign or international sources, such as books and databases, which it is unclear what people different countries really include into diet. Therefore, our purpose was to determine wild-growing plant species have used Slovenia a basis. research, we gathered data using...
The most commonly used technique for water content determination is Karl-Fischer titration with electrometric detection, requiring specialized equipment. When appropriate equipment not available, the method can be performed through visual detection of a endpoint, which does enable an analysis colored samples. Here, we developed spectrophotometric moisture reaction takes place in sealed 4 ml cuvette. Detection at 520 nm. Titration endpoint determined from graph absorbance plotted against...
