“…In the case of plants, K also plays a key role in regulating enzymatic activities; providing strength against drought and stress, and in translocation of photosynthetic products between plant tissues [46]. As per the study of Ghosh et al [47], our results with regard to the mineral content of M. oleifera varieties are also in consonance with the WHO dietary recommendation limits (data not shown).…”

Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) is revered as s ‘miracle tree’ due to its remarkable nutritional, medicinal and industrial uses. In our study, a comparative analysis of the nutritional parameters (antioxidant activity, sugar content—TSS, total soluble proteins—TSP and mineral contents), phytochemicals (HPLC analysis of four anticancer compounds), and cytotoxicity of M. oleifera leaf extracts (MLEs) of five selected varieties (conventional, PKM-1, PKM-2, ODC, and Jaffna), was performed. Jaffna variety possessed the highest antioxidant activity (FRAP) followed by other four varieties. The trend observed was: Jaffna (9.47 µg/mL, 18.48 µg/mL, 29.39 µg/mL, and 35.37 µg/mL) > PKM-1 (4.82 µg/mL, 7.63 µg/mL, 22.33 µg/mL, and 27.71 µg/mL) > PKM-2 (2.10 µg/mL, 7.04 µg/mL, 13.18 µg/mL, and 21.78 µg/mL) > ODC (0.17 µg/mL, 2.10 µg/mL, 4.41 µg/mL and 13.94 µg/mL) > Conventional (0.05 µg/mL, 1.08 µg/mL, 2.86 µg/mL, and 5.40 µg/mL), total soluble proteins (TSP) [0.69 ± 0.01 and 0.94 ± 0.01 µg/mL (young and mature stage, respectively)], sugar content (TSS) [0.39 ± 0.01 and 0.51 ± 0.01 µg/mL (young and mature stage, respectively)], chlorophyll content [1.07 ± 0.01 (plantlet stage), 1.36 ± 0.003 (vegetative-stage), 0.82 ± 0.004 (reproductive stage) mg/g], followed by the other four varieties. The trend observed for cytotoxic activities of ethanolic MLEs on HepG2 cell line, based on the IC50 values, was conventional (1.22 mg/mL) > ODC (0.90 mg/mL) > PKM-2 (0.65 mg/mL) > PKM-1 (0.35 mg/mL) > Jaffna (0.15 mg/mL). The results of HPLC quantification of anticancer compounds [beta-sitosterol (0.244%), quercetin (0.216%), kaempferol (0.013%), and moringin (0.063%)] was also in consonance with that of MTT assay. In summary, the trend observed in all the parameters tested was Jaffna > PKM-1 > PKM-2 > ODC > conventional. Thus, Jaffna variety has a better potential to combat malnutrition and cancer and must be recommended for commercial plantations.

Quantification of fatty acids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, antioxidant and enzyme inhibition activity of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) seeds was the subject of this study. In fixed oil were found two saturated and four unsaturated fatty acids and linoleic acid were majors. Successive extraction of seed with 80% methanol was used to prepare four different fractions of phenolic compounds that is, free phenolics (PA‐M1), esters (PA‐M2), phenolic glycosides (PA‐M3), and bounded phenolics (PA‐M4). Six phenolic acids (5‐hydroxyferulic, 3‐hydroxybenzoic, ferulic, sinapinic, salicylic, and trans‐cinnamic acid) were found in four different fractions. Apigenin was the only identified flavonoid. The antioxidant capacity of anise seed extracts was evaluated by four methods. Total phenolic content showed a correlation with antioxidant activity. Determination of butyrylcholinesterase inhibition was performed by modified Ellman's assay, while monitoring of hydrogen peroxide consumption was used for catalase inhibition assessment. Seed extracts showed potent inhibition of both enzymes. Novelty impact statement This study was evaluated chemical profile and biological activities of imported Pimpinella anisum L. seed, where linoleic acid was found as a major fatty acids, and ferulic acid and sinapinic acid as major phenolic compounds. Also, were demonstrated butyrylcholinesterase and catalase inhibition activities, as well as antioxidant activities. Furthermore, this is the first study describing the catalase inhibitory activity of anise seed extracts.

“…Shekarchi et al stated that potassium was more common (17.275 ppm), followed by Ca (5698 ppm), Mg (5550 ppm), Fe (119.4 ppm), Na (83.34 ppm), and Zn (29.163 ppm). Lower values were recorded for Mn 16.41 ppm, Cu 6.559 and Ni 1.067 [33,34]. The difference in the concentration of these minerals among various studies is due to the plant's ability to absorb nutrients from the soil, the soil's mineral content, sample preparation, irradiation and the counting system [35].By comparison between M. officinalis leaves and the tomato leaves, it was found that there were some elements in abundance while some were absent.…”

This study describes the minerals elements, chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Algerian Melissa officinalis plant. The essential oil (EO) was extracted by hydrodistillation (HD) using a Clevenger-type apparatus of dry leaves of M. officinalis and was analyzed by two techniques, gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Eighteen minerals comprising both macro- and microelements (As, Br, K, La, Na, Sb, Sm, Ba, Ca, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Fe, Rb, Sc, Th, and Zn) were determined using neutron activation analysis technique for the first time from Algerian Melissa officinalis plant. Seventy-eight compounds were identified in the essential oil, representing 94.090% of the total oil and the yields were 0.470%. The major component was geranial (45.060%). Other predominant components were neral (31.720%) and citronellal (6.420%). The essential oil presented high antimicrobial activity against microorganisms, mainly five human pathogenic bacteria, one yeast, Candida albicans, and two phytopathogenic fungi. The results can be used as a source of information for the pharmaceutical industry and medical research.
