“…The flower extract of HRSY had significantly higher TCC value than HRSR (295.99 ± 1.69 and 78.19 ± 0.89 μg βcarotene/g, respectively -p<0.05). The TCC value for YHRS was higher than that reported for H. sabdariffaflowers by Attaugwu andUvere [35] but lower than that reported by Gbadamosi, Abiade and Agbatutu [36] for H. asperflowers. Normally, fruits, vegetables, and vegetable oils (especially olive oil) offers the most amount of carotenoid intake in the diet.…”

Hibiscus ssp. is a source of phytochemicals, mainly anthocyanins, widely known for its medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to develop a microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method to extract bioactive compounds from yellow and red petals of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (HRS) and evaluate their antioxidant and eye irritation potential. For MAE, the effect of microwave power, irradiation time, solvent concentration and solvent volume was tested. The antioxidant activity and eye irritation potential were evaluated. The extracts were analyzed by LC-DAD-ESI-IT-MS/MS. The acidified aqueous extraction was the best choice for the recovery of anthocyanins, while hydroethanolic was best extractor solvent to recovery flavonol and flavanols. MAE extracts showed efficient recovery: total phenolic content (28.4 and 23.2 mg GAE/g), total flavonoids content (44.8 and 34.5 mg RE/g),total anthocyanins content (4.1 and 16.3 mg Cy-3-glu/100 g) and extraction yields (29.5 and 23.2 %) and remarkable antioxidant activity (IC50=12.35 and 15.76 mg L -1 ) for yellow and red petal extracts, respectively. Main compounds were cyanidin-3-sophoroside and cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside, besides catechin, epicatechin and rutin. The extracts were classified as non-irritating ingredients. The data revealed HRS as a source of bioactive compounds and significant variations in phytochemical content among yellow and red petals of HRS.

“…Independently, several research teams had investigated the antioxidant potential of Alternanthera brasiliana (L.) Kuntze: Reza and the team had used 80% ethanolic extract of stem and leaves ( Reza et al, 2019 ); Enechi and the team had used ethanolic extract of leaves ( Enechi et al, 2013 ); Chandran R had used methanolic extract of leaves ( Chandran, 2017 ); Attaugwu and Uvere had used ethanolic extract of leaves ( Attaugwu and Uvere, 2017 ); Pereira and the team had used ethanolic extract and its dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n-butanolic fractions of leaves ( Pereira et al, 2013 ); Araujo and the team had used ethanolic extract of aerial parts and its hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate fractions ( Araujo et al, 2014 ); while Akachukwu and Uchegbu had used ethanolic extract of leaves ( Akachukwu and Uchegbu, 2016 ). These pieces of evidence increase the credibility of Alternanthera brasiliana (L.) Kuntze as antioxidant.…”

The Genus Alternanthera: Phytochemical and Ethnopharmacological Perspectives

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The genus Alternanthera (Amaranthaceae) comprises 139 species including 14 species used traditionally for the treatment of various ailments such as hypertension, pain, inflammation, diabetes, cancer, microbial and mental disorders.Aim of the review: To search research gaps through critical assessment of pharmacological activities not performed to validate traditional claims of various species of Alternanthera. This review will aid natural product researchers in identifying Alternanthera species with therapeutic potential for future investigation.Materials and methods: Scattered raw data on ethnopharmacological, morphological, phytochemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and clinical studies of various species of the genus Alternanthera have been compiled utilizing search engines like SciFinder, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Open J-Gate for 100 years up to April 2021.Results: Few species of Alternanthera genus have been exhaustively investigated phytochemically, and about 129 chemical constituents related to different classes such as flavonoids, steroids, saponins, alkaloids, triterpenoids, glycosides, and phenolic compounds have been isolated from 9 species. Anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial, CNS depressive, antidiabetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulator effects have been explored in the twelve species of the genus. A toxicity study has been conducted on 3 species and a clinical study on 2 species.Conclusions: The available literature on pharmacological studies of Alternanthera species reveals that few species have been selected based on ethnobotanical surveys for scientific validation of their traditional claims. But most of these studies have been conducted on uncharacterized and non-standardized crude extracts. A roadmap of research needs to be developed for the isolation of new bioactive compounds from Alternanthera species, which can emerge out as clinically potential medicines.

“…Bambara groundnut protein hydrolysate and peptide fractions could potentially serve as ingredients in the formulation of functional foods and nutraceuticals (Arise et al, 2017). As a cereal-legume-based (maize and Bambara groundnut) complementary food, Bambara groundnut serves as complementary feeding especially those formulated with locally available ingredients (Uvere et al, 2010;Attaugwu et al, 2016;Nwadi et al, 2020;Hayes et al, 2017). In addition, Bambara groundnut represent a good source of insoluble dietary fibre (Diedericks and Jideani, 2015).…”

The most important ingredient in ice cream production is milk. However, keeping the body, structure, and texture of ice cream requires maintaining the right balance of various constituent ingredients. Recently, a number of plant-based milk alternatives have emerged with reduced particle size distribution. Although Bambara groundnut milk (BGNM) beverage appears increasingly applicable in yoghurt production, there is paucity of relevant literature reporting its application in ice cream production. In order to supplement the existing information, this work investigated the quality indices of ice cream from dairy milk partially substituted with Bambara groundnut beverage. Different proportions of dairy milk and BGNM blended to produce ice cream involved seven formulations (100:0, 0:100, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50, all v/v %). Quality indices measured included the antinutrients (phytic acid and tannins), physicochemical, microbial and sensory aspects. The obtained results showed that fat and ash content decreased with increased substitution of dairy milk, whereas the protein, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium contents increased with addition of Bambara groundnut. In addition to statistical differences that occurred across the samples (p<0.05) in most cases, with varying ranges from pH (5.20-6.61), overrun (11.00-73.50%), total solids (10.98-12.35%), viscosity (1.00-2.25 Pa.s), to total titratable acidity (0.05-0.11 g/100 mL). Besides the increased meltdown values, and the somewhat varying anti-nutrients (tannin = 0.32-2.64 mg/100 g; phytic acid = 2.97-63.85 mg/100 g), the total viable count ranged from 1.2 x 103 to 8.7 x 102 CFU/mL, while sensory characteristics had quite a number of resemblances (p>0.05) between some samples. This current work has demonstrated a desirable ice cream can be produced by partially substituting dairy milk with up to 30% Bambara groundnut extract.
