“…Plant species belonging to the family Clusiaceae are characterized by the presence of benzophenones [18]. Various polyisoprenylated benzopheones have been reported from G. mangostana, G. indica, and G. gummigutta [19]. Garcinol (11) (Figure 2, Table 1) was isolated and identified from the fruits and leaves of Indian gamboge [3,13].…”

“…Flavonols, flavones, flavanones, anthocyanins, isoflavones, and flavonols are the major classes of flavonoids that have been confirmed to possess a wide range of biological and therapeutic actions [20]. A total of 15 flavonoids (Figure 3) were isolated from the leaves of Indian gamboge, including amentoflavone (12), apigenin (13), epicatechin (14), Garcinia biflavonoid-1 (17), Garcinia biflavonoid-1a (26), Garcinia biflavonoid-2 (18), isoorientin (22), isovitexin (20), kaempferol (19), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (25), luteolin (24), orientin (16), quercetin (15), and vitexin (21) [3]. Morelloflavone (23) (Figure 3) was isolated and identified from heartwood [14].…”

Garcinia morella (Gaertn.) Desr. is an evergreen tree that yields edible fruits, oil, and resin. It is a source of “gamboge”, a gum/resin that has a wide range of uses. The fruits, leaves, and seeds of this tree are rich in bioactive compounds, including xanthones, flavonoids, phenolic acids, organic acids, and terpenoids. Evidence from different studies has demonstrated the antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, hepatoprotective, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and larvicidal activities of the fruit, leaf, and seed extracts of G. morella. This review summarizes the information on the phytochemicals of G. morella and the biological activities of its active constituents.

“…Underutilized vegetables are rich sources of organic acids; for instance, roselle contains citric acid, hydroxycitric acid, hibiscus acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid (Table 6) [73]. Hydroxycitric acid is reported to be a major organic acid found in fruits of brindle berry (Garcinia gummigutta) and kokum (Garcinia indica) [104], and it is an antiobesity (decreased lipogeneis and enhanced fat oxidation) drug [105];…”

Plants existing in nature could be used as source of nutrition and bioactive compounds. Some of the wild and underutilized plants such as African baobab, amaranth, tarragon, Malabar spinach, borage, Ethiopian rape, goosefoot, chicory, spider plant, mallow, sea kale, curcuma, squash, roselle, water spinach, bitter melon, drumstick, tassel hyacinth, prickly pear, parsnip, tomatillo, Indian poke, purslane, yellow cresses, black nightshade, and water leaf are used as vegetables, and some other wild leguminous plants including jack bean, rattlepod, Hausa groundnut, lablab bean, pea vines, subabul, Andean lupin, horse gram, deer-eye bean, stinky bean, winged bean, African yam bean, adzuki bean, bambara groundnut, and rice bean are used for proteins and other nutrients. These plants are sources of nutrients and are also rich in bioactive compounds. Studies carried out during the past several decades have shown that bioactive compounds obtained from the underutilized vegetables and legumes (UVLs) have important role in preventing chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and coronary heart diseases. Phytochemicals present in UVLs have demonstrated antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. In the current chapter, we are presenting a review on importance of UVLs, their nutritional value, bioactive compounds, and their biological activities.

“…In addition to these constituents, fruits are also rich in proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and reducing and non-reducing sugars [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Underutilized fruits are not only a primary source of food, but also have immense therapeutical potential due to the presence of bioactive compounds, including antioxidants such as unsaturated fats, organic acids, and sugars [1][2][3][4]7,8]. Nutraceutical compounds, which are essential for the human diet and major constituents for the storage of energy and the structural and functional composition of cells, were achieved from oils and fats [9].…”

Wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.) is an underutilized, fruit-yielding tree that is native to India and Sri Lanka. Wood apple trees are also cultivated in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Laos, and Indonesia for delicious fruits and medicinal purposes. The major objective of the present work was the analysis of the nutritional status of wood apple fruit pulp.The fruits are rich in total carbohydrates (24.74 ± 0.19%), total proteins (9.30 ± 0.16%), oil (0.99 ± 0.01%), fiber (3.32 ± 0.02%), and ash (2.73 ± 0.12%). Further analysis and quantification of free sugars, organic acids, and fatty acid methyl esters were carried out by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatographic (GC) methods. In total, five sugars and nine organic acids were detected and quantified. The predominant sugars were fructose (16.40 ± 0.23%) and glucose (14.23 ± 0.10%), whereas the predominant organic acids were D-tartaric (4.01 ± 0.03%), ascorbic (4.51 ± 0.05%), and citric acid (4.27 ± 0.04%). The oil content of fruit pulp was 0.99 ± 0.01% and GC-MS analysis revealed that, it comprise of 16 fatty acid methyl esters. The percentage of saturated fatty acids were 32.17 ± 0.35%, that includes palmitic (18.52 ± 0.12%) and stearic acids (9.02 ± 0.08%), whereas, the unsaturated fatty acids were 51.98 ± 0.94%, including oleic acid (23.89 ± 0.06%), α-linolenic acid (16.55 ± 0.26%), linoleic acid (10.02 ± 0.43%), and vaccenic acid (1.78 ± 0.23%).
