“…Similar results have been reported by some researchers (Coskuner & Karababa, 2007). The geometric mean diameter of flaxseed is lower than for okra seeds (Calisir et al, 2005) and higher than that of sesame seeds (Tunde-Akintunde & Akintunde 2004). Oblate spheroid and Ellipsoid shapes showed an increase during flaxseed development.…”

The changes in flaxseed constituents at different stages of maturity are reported. The physical properties and antioxidant activity of flaxseed oil during flaxseed development have been evaluated. Continuous decrease in total polyphenol content during flaxseed development. All the results showed no significant differences between HPLC-MS and TLC for quantitative determination of phospholipids classes. The fatty acid compositions of individual phospholipids were also reported. The antioxidant activity of oilseed was assessed by means of 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The test demonstrated that the antioxidant activity of the flaxseed oil was found to be harvesting time-dependant. Keywords: physical properties; antioxidant activity; total polyphenol content; flaxseed oil; HPLC-MS; maturation.Practical Application: Practical application for the study entitled '' Effect of seed maturation stages on physical properties and antioxidant activity in flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.)" regard the possibility of analyzing phospholipids contents and antioxidant activity during flaxseed development. The changes in the constituents of flaxseed during development and maturity have been a subject of continuing interest for many investigators. From this study, valuable information will be provided for flaxseed cultivations and help in developing functional food resources.

“…Seed weights in milligrams were determined using an electrical balance. Geometric mean diameter (Dg), Arithmetic Mean diameter (Da), Aspect ratio (R a ), Surface area (S), Sphericity (Ǿ), Seed volume (V), Oblate spheroid (V osp ) and Ellipsoid shapes (V ellip ) values were found using the following formula (Calisir et al, 2005):…”

“…Nowadays, it is widespread throughout the world, while in Europe its cultivation and consumption is more common around the Mediterranean basin, and especially Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey where it is a basic ingredient in many local and traditional dishes (Çalişir, Özcan, Haciseferoğullari, & Yildiz, 2005). In Greece and Turkey, they are considered as minor vegetable crops, however they are important vegetable species and the small immature fruit are very popular in various summer dishes (Çalişir et al, 2005).…”

Chemical composition, nutritional value and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes in relation to harvest stage

A B S T R A C TThe aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fruit size on nutritional value, chemical composition and antioxidant properties of Mediterranean okra genotypes. For this purpose, pods from four okra cultivars and local landraces commonly cultivated in Greece, as well as pods from four commercial cultivars from North America were collected at two sizes (3-5 and > 7 cm). Significant differences were observed between the studied genotypes for both nutritional value and chemical composition parameters. Small fruit had a higher nutritional value, whereas chemical composition differed in a genotype dependent manner with most of the studied cultivars showing better results when harvested in small size. In conclusion, fruit size has a genotype dependent impact on chemical composition and nutritional value of okra pods and the common practice of harvesting okra fruit while they still have a small size helps to increase nutritional value for most of the studied genotypes.

“…It can be used as non-caffeinated substitute for coffee. Okra seeds may be roasted and ground to form a caffeine-free substitute for coffee (Martin, 1982;Calisir, Ozcan, Haciseferogullari, & Yildiz, 2005). Okra seed powder is used as a substitute for aluminium salts in water purification (Vaidya & Nanoti, 1989).…”

Functional properties of Okra Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench): traditional claims and scientific evidences

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Moench) is an important vegetable crop cultivated in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate regions around the world. Besides the nutritional benefit, the different parts of the plant are used extensively in traditional medicine (antidiabetic, antipyretic, diuretic, antispasmodic, etc) around the world. This review critically assesses the nutritional values, phytochemistry, preclinical pharmacological properties and the possible future application of the okra. Effort is made to correlate the traditional claims in the context of experimental evidences.
