RESUMENCaracterísticas en la composición de aceite y semilla de alcaparras {Capers spp.).Se han evaluado semillas Capparis spinosa L. var. spinosa y Capparis ovata Desf. var. canescens por peso, tamaño, humedad, ceniza, proteína cruda, aceite crudo, energía y fibra cruda. Se determinaron en los aceites la densidad relativa, índice de refracción, ácidos grasos libres, índice de peróxido, índice de iodo, índice de saponificación, insaponificables y cera. Los principales ácidos grasos identificados por cromatografía gaseosa fueron los ácidos palmítico, oleíco y linoleíco. Las semillas fueron ricas en proteínas, aceite y fibra y mostraron composiciones similares entre ellas con un alto contenido en ácidos grasos insaturados, sugiriendo que pueden ser utilizadas para usos alimentarios.

SUMMARY Some compositional characteristics of capers (Capers spp.) seed and oil.Capparis spinosa L. var. spinosa and Capparis ovata Desf. var. canescens seeds were evaluated for weight, sizes, moisture, ash, crude protein, crude oil, energy and crude fiber. The relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, iodine value, saponification value, unsaponifiables and wax were determined in the seed oils. The main fatty acids identified by gas chromatography were palmitic, oleic and linolelc acids. The seeds were rich in protein, oil, and fiber and showed similar composition between then with a high content in unsaturated fatty acids, suggesting that they may be valuable for food uses.

“…However, this dose may cause allergic contact dermatitis with inflamed skin in prolonged use. 30,31 Liver and kidney were chosen for the histo-pathological study because they play an essential role in the organism, detoxifying the xenobiotics, drugs and toxic molecules. The liver plays a principal role in transforming these molecules leading to the toxicity from these agents.…”

Safety evaluation and analgesic studies of defatted methanol extract of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) fruits and roots bark in albino wistar rats

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Capparis spinosa L. is an indigenous plant from Algeria but has widespread distribution in Mediterranean area. It is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases by the local populations. The purpose of this study is to test toxicity and analgesic effect of defatted methanol extract of fruits and roots bark of this plant in albino Wistar rats. To evaluate the acute toxicity, 500-5000 mg/kg body weight of each extract was administered orally to rats; symptoms of toxicity and mortality were observed for 72 h. The results revealed the absence of toxicity for both extracts. In subchronic toxicity, rats were treated, with doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day of each extract, they were surveyed for four weeks, no symptoms of toxicity were observed. These results were confirmed by the blood biochemical analyses and the histopathology study of liver and kidney. Peripheral analgesic activity was tested orally at the dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg for each extract against pain induced by acetic acid. The dose of 200 mg/kg of both extracts presented significant analgesic effect, compared to the positive control; the acetylsalicylic acid.

“…Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) is one of the medicinal plants that have been widely used in the traditional medicine during successive civilizations to cure various health disorders and illnesses. A wide range of therapeutic benefits are credited to caper extracts such as anti-hypertensive (Ali et al, 2007 ), anti-hepatotoxic (El Tanbouly et al, 1989 ; Gadgoli and Mishra, 1999 ), anti-diabetic (Kazemian et al, 2015 ; Mollica et al, 2017 ; Vahid et al, 2017 ), anti-obesity (Lemhadri et al, 2007 ), bronchorelaxant (Benzidane et al, 2013 ), anti-allergic and anti-histaminic (Angelini et al, 1991 ; Trombetta et al, 2005 ), anti-inflammatory (Al-Said et al, 1988 ; Zhou et al, 2010 ) or anti-biotic (Abraham et al, 2011 ; Mahboubi and Mahboubi, 2014 ) properties.…”

Capparis spinosa L. in A Systematic Review: A Xerophilous Species of Multi Values and Promising Potentialities for Agrosystems under the Threat of Global Warming

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a xerophytic shrub with a remarkable adaptability to harsh environments. This plant species is of great interest for its medicinal/pharmacological properties and its culinary uses. Its phytochemical importance relies on many bioactive components present in different organs and its cultivation can be of considerable economic value. Moreover, taxonomic identification of C. spinosa L. has been difficult due to its wide heterogeneity, and many authors fell into confusion due to the scarcity of genetic studies. The present review summarizes information concerning C. spinosa L. including agronomic performance, botanical description, taxonomical approaches, traditional pharmacological uses, phytochemical evaluation and genetic studies. This knowledge represents an important tool for further research studies and agronomic development on this indigenous species with respect to the emerging climatic change in the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Indeed, this world region is particularly under the threat of global warming and it appears necessary to rethink agricultural systems to adapt them to current and futures challenging environmental conditions. Capparis spinosa L. could be a part of this approach. So, this review presents a state of the art considering caper as a potential interesting crop under arid or semi-arid regions (such as Eastern Mediterranean countries) within the climate change context. The aim is to raise awareness in the scientific community (geneticists, physiologists, ecophysiologists, agronomists, …) about the caper strengths and interest to the development of this shrub as a crop.
