“…Vilhena et al () found 16 studies reporting the antidiabetic property of the inflorescence (flowers and bract) of Musa spp., which all supported the ethnomedicinal claim that cooked flowers are able to treat diabetes mellitus . Some other extensive reviews have been compiled on the bioactive compounds from fruit, sap, and peel of banana (Pothavorn et al, ; Singh et al, ; Tsamo et al, ). This study, however, compared the antidiabetic activity of the fruit and leaves and showed that leaf fractions have higher antidiabetic activity than fruit samples.…”

Musa species are used traditionally for the management of many diseases. The study evaluated and compared anticholinesterase, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities of Musa acuminata (Simili radjah, ABB) fruits and leaves fractions and characterized the bioactive compounds using HPTLC‐HRMS and NMR. Leaf fractions gave the higher biological activities than the fruit. Ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf had the highest total phenolic content (911.9 ± 1.7 mg GAE/g) and highest 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) scavenging activity (IC50, 9.0 ± 0.4 µg/ml). It also gave the most effective inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (IC50, 404.4 ± 8.0 µg/ml) and α‐glucosidase (IC50, 4.9 ± 1.6 µg/ml), but a moderate α‐amylase inhibition (IC50, 444.3 ± 4.0 µg/ml). The anti‐inflammatory activity of n‐butanol (IC50, 34.1 ± 2.6 µg/ml) and ethyl acetate fractions (IC50, 43.1 ± 11.3 µg/ml) of the leaf were higher than the positive control, quercetin (IC50, 54.8 ± 17.1 µg/ml). Kaempferol‐3‐O‐rutinoside and quercetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside (rutin) were identified as the bioactive compounds with antioxidant and antidiabetic activities from the ethyl acetate fraction of M. acuminata leaf. Practical applications All parts of Musa acuminata are known to be useful ethnomedicinally even as food. The leaves are mostly used to serve food and used for wrapping purposes. However, this study concluded that M. acuminata leaf is rich in bioactive flavonoids such as kaempferol‐3‐O‐rutinoside and rutin, with relatively high antioxidative, antidiabetic, and anti‐inflammatory activities. Therefore, aside the fact that the leaves can serve as potential drug leads for pharmaceutical industries, it can also be embraced in the food sector to produce supplements and/or nutraceuticals in the management of Alzheimer's, diabetes and other inflammatory diseases.

“…These phytochemicals are generally categorized into four major groups that include flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans and stilbenes (Singh et al 2016c). Bioactive compounds such as polyphenols have a wide therapeutic potential as these can contribute towards the antioxidant activities (Singh et al 2016a). Phenolic acids and their derivatives flavanols, flavan-3-ols, anthocyanins, condensed tannins are the main polyphenol categories present in legume seeds.…”

“…Polyphenols are the primary antioxidants that are based upon the donation of hydrogen atoms to the free radicals (Singh et al 2016a). They delay or prevent oxidation of lipids, proteins and DNA by reactive oxygen species that is produced in cells during oxidation (Amarowicz et al 2010).…”

Pulses are good sources of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, phytosterols and non-digestible carbohydrates that play important physiological as well as metabolic roles. These compounds vary in concentration amongst different pulse species and varieties. Pulse seed coats are rich in water-insoluble fibres and polyphenols (having high antioxidant activities), while cotyledons contain higher soluble fibres, oligosaccharides, slowly digestible and resistant starch content. Ferulic acid is the most abundant phenolic acid present in pulses, while flavonol glycosides, anthocyanins and tannins are responsible for the seed coat colour. Sitosterol (most abundant), stigmasterol, and campesterol are the major phytosterols present in pulses. Pulse fibres, resistant starch and oligosaccharides function as probiotics and possess several other health benefits such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, and reduce glucose as well as lipid levels. Beans and peas contain higher amounts of oligosaccharides than other pulses. Processing methods affect resistant starch, polyphenol composition and generally increase antioxidant activities of different pulses. In this review, the current information on pulse polyphenols, phytosterols, resistant starch, dietary fibre, oligosaccharides, antioxidant and associated health benefits are discussed.

A rapid and selective analytical method was developed to simultaneously quantify seven polyphenolic compounds (gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, kaempferol, syringic acid and p-coumaric acid). 15 phenolics of diverse groups in 80 % ethanolic extracts of jacquemont's hazelnut (Corylus jacquemontii) kernels and its byproducts from western Himalaya using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) were identified. The developed analytical method showed excellent linearity, repeatability and accuracy. Total phenols concentrations were found to be 4446, 1199 and 105 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/Kg of dried extract for jacquemont's hazelnut skin, hard shell and kernels respectively. Antioxidant potential of defatted, raw jacquemont's hazelnut skin, hard shell and kernel extracts assessed by 2,2 0 -azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), 2,2 0 -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods were increased in a dose-dependent manner. The IC 50 values were observed as 23.12, 51.32, 136.46 and 45.73, 63.65, 169.30 lg/ml for jacquemont's hazelnut skin, hard shell, kernels by DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. The high phenolic contents in jacquemont's hazelnut skin contributed towards their free radical scavenging capacities.
