“…Kangkong is a good source of b-carotene with good bioavailability. In a feeding trial of rats, conversion of b-carotene to liver retinol for the first 2 weeks was efficient (Tee et al, 1996). However, poor conversion of bcarotene to retinol after 2 weeks was observed.…”

Diets rich in vegetables and fruits are known to be protective against several diseases. Only a limited number of vegetables and fruits are consumed as part of the daily diet in Western countries. Historically, indigenous vegetables and fruits are known for their medicinal and nutritional value in countries where they were originated and/or domesticated. However, relatively few systemic studies and reviews were conducted to enumerate the potential of these vegetables to human health benefits. Although certain indigenous crops have received attention, the majority of these crops with strong potential biological activities were neglected and/or not reported. Considering the current health-related problems and obesity-related diseases, it is timely to enumerate the health-promoting properties of certain indigenous vegetables. In this report, we have reviewed some of the important crops indigenous to Southeast Asia and their potential health-promoting properties.

This study was carried out to determine the total antioxidant activity and phenolic content of selected common vegetables. The effect of thermal treatment on antioxidant activity and phenolic content were also studied. Kale, spinach, cabbage, swamp cabbage and shallots were used in this study. Among all the vegetables (fresh and thermally treated), shallots showed the highest total antioxidant activity followed by spinach, swamp cabbage, cabbage and kale. Spinach had an exceptionally high total phenolic content, followed by swamp cabbage, kale, shallots and cabbage. Except for shallots and cabbage, the antioxidant activities of kale, spinach and swamp cabbage were significantly decreased (p<0.05) after thermal treatment. Moreover, this study revealed that a 1-min thermal treatment significantly decreased (p<0.05) the total phenolic content of all vegetables studied.
