Plants synthesize compounds with biological activity, namely antioxidant, as secondary products, which are mainly phenolic compounds serving in plant defense mechanisms to counteract reactive oxygen species (ROS) in order to avoid oxidative damage [1]. Many epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of phenolics-rich foods is associated with the prevention of chronic diseases [2]. In addition to their antioxidant properties, these compounds have been reported to be potential candidates in lowering cardiovascular diseases [3] , anticarcinogenic [4,5] , antiallergenic, antiarthrogenic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and antithrombotic effects [6]. Plant phenolics, in particular phenolic acids, tannins and flavonoids are known to be antioxidants and occur in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, roots and barks [7]. Fertility regulation with plant or plant preparation has been revealed in indigenous system of medicines of many countries. It is difficult to establish quality control parameters of plant-based drug due to complex nature and variability of chemical constituents [8]. So, modern analytical techniques should be implicated to overcome this problem. The aim of the present study was to evaluate few antifertility herbs qualitatively and quantitatively for estimation of phytoconstituents. Ficus racemosa commonly known as Gular, Udambara belongs to the family Moraceae grows in evergreen forests, moist localities and bank of streams, deciduous forests, to the elevation of 1800 m above sea level. Well drained medium to heavy soil for successful cultivation. Propagation is done by stem and root suckers. It grows up to 18 m high [9] .

“…Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) seed oil is reported to be rich in bioactive compounds including those of vital unsaturated fatty acids like omega 3-and -6 fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids), phenolic acids, flavonoid aglycons and carotenoids [150]. Further, underutilized legumes and seeds belonging to species of Canavalia, Entada scandens G.Forst., Mucuna, Nelumbo, and Sesbania is reported to have high amount of bioactive compounds including those of polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, etc [151][152][153][154].…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable utilization of agri-food wastes and by-products for producing value-added products (for cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food industrial applications) provides an opportunity for earning additional income for the dependent industrial sector. Besides, effective valorisation of wastes/by-products can efficiently help in reducing environmental stress by decreasing unwarranted pollution. The major focus of this review is to provide comprehensive information on valorisation of agri-food wastes and by-products with focus laid on bioactive compounds and bioactivity. The review covers the bioactives identified from wastes and by-products of plants (fruits, exotic fruits, vegetables and seeds), animals (dairy and meat) and marine (fish, shellfish seaweeds) resources. Further, insights on the present status and future challenges of sustainably utilizing agri-food wastes/by-products for value addition will be highlighted.

“…According to [69], phenolic compounds have the ability to reduce risk for development or treatment of cancers, cardiovascular disorders, obesity, diabetes, aging-diseases, urinary tract infections, and periodontal disease. [67], also reported that the richness of the polyphenolic contents of green tea and red wine has made them popular choices for associated anticancer and cardiovascular health benefits. [60], reported the hypoglycaemic potentials, wound healing properties, and haemolytic activities of saponins.…”

Aim: This study was carried out to determine the phytochemical constituent of ethanol extract of Aju Mbaise herbal mixture. Study Design: In the course of the experiment, fresh samples of the plants that make up Aju Mbaise were collected and identified as Cnestis ferruginea, Xylopia aethiopica, Uvaria chamae, Palisota hirsuta, Scleria sp., Napoleona imperialis, Dialium guineense, Combretum racemosun, and Heterotis rotundifolia respectively. The fresh plants were air-dried, cut into small pieces and blended before the extraction process. Ethanol was used as the extraction solvent. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Research Laboratory of the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Port Harcourt, in July 2018. Methodology: The qualitative phytochemical analysis was determined by Standard methods described by Sofowara (1993), for testing alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins, and terpenoids, while the quantitative phytochemical was estimated spectrophotometrically. Results: The phytochemical result showed the presence of alkaloids (8.69%), flavonoids (19.10%), glycosides (6.86%), hydrogen cyanide (0.92%), phenols (31.56%), saponins (0.83%), steroids (0.94%), tannins (16.80%), and terpenoids (14.31%). Conclusion: The study showed that ethanol extract of Aju Mbaise herbal mixture contains tremendous amount of phytochemicals.
