“…Significantly higher concentrations of Fe recorded in the N 4 P 2 K 2 treatment than in the other treatments can be explained by the lowest organic matter content in the soil in this treatment, as the availability of metal is negatively related to the organic matter content in the soil (Singh et al 2010). In our study, concentrations of Fe were substantially higher than concentrations of Fe, ranging from 7.4 to 9.1 mg/kg, in a study by Cox et al (2001), or lower than the concentration of Fe 167 mg/kg recorded by Singh and Garg (2006). Different concentrations of Fe were probably caused by different soil pH, as the availability of Fe is high in acid soils ).…”

Little attention has been paid to the effect of long-term fertilizer application on concentrations of elements in grain of barley produced on the metal non-contaminated agricultural soil. In 2010, we analyzed yield and concentrations of elements in grain of spring barley in unfertilized control, mineral fertilizer application (N 4 P 2 K 2 -70, 60 and 100 kg N, P and K per ha) and combinations of farmyard manure or poultry litter with mineral fertilizer (FMN 4 P 2 K 2 and PLN 4 P 2 K 2 ) treatments in the Ruzyně Fertilizer Experiment established on Luvisol in 1955 in Prague (Czech Republic). The yield of grain ranged from 4.03 to 9.74 t/ha in the control and FMN 4 P 2 K 2 treatment. There was a positive effect of fertilizer application on concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but no effect on concentrations of calcium and magnesium. With the exception of iron, concentrations of micro (copper and zinc) and risk elements (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese and nickel) were not significantly affected by the fertilizer treatments. Long-term use of organic and mineral fertilizers with appropriate application rates does not represent any risk for contamination of barley grain by risk elements on mineral rich and metal non-contaminated agricultural soils.

“…The highest variability and concentration found was that of iron, followed by manganese, zinc, and copper. These results were compared with the ranges currently available in the literature (Table 7) [4,5,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Huang et al (2001) also reported that crude fenugreek gum (13.9% protein) in comparison with 14 other hydrocolloid gums in a model system led to a very stable oil/water emulsion (22). Alkaloid, flavonoids and saponin: Fenugreek contains different alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins (23,24) that the latter one is in the highest concentration (25). Alkaloid and volatile constituents of fenugreek seeds are the two major components which cause bitter taste and bad odor (26).…”

A B S T R A C TFenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum), native to southern Europe and Asia, is an annual herb with white flowers and hard, yellowish brown and angular seeds, known from ancient times, for nutritional value beside of it medicinal effects. Fenugreek seeds are rich source of gum, fiber, alkaloid, flavonoids, saponin and volatile content. Due to it's high content of fiber, fenugreek could be used as food stabilizer, adhesive and emulsifying agent to change food texture for some special purposes. Some evidences suggest that fenugreek may also be regarded as antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, remedy for hypocholesterolemia and hypoglycemia, antioxidant, antibacterial agent, gastric stimulant, and anti-anorexia agent. The present article is aimed to review the potential applications of fenugreek as a functional food and nutraceutical.
