“…Raw kernels of P. roxburghii showed agglutination against rat RBC's (75.3 HU/g protein) alone (Table 3); neither cow/goat nor human A, B and O RBC's have been agglutinated. The results obtained are parallel to the agglutination pattern of earlier reports, (i) Utarabhand and Akkayanont (1995), who showed agglutination on the same seeds P. javanica against rat (267 HU/mg protein) and rabbit (68267 HU/mg protein) and not on human A, B and O blood group RBC's, and (ii) Suvachittanont and Peutpaiboon (1992) and Cavada et al (2000) who showed agglutination against rabbit and rat RBC's respectively, rather than human RBC's by P. discolor and P. speciosa. In contrast, Mohan and Janardhanan (1993) reported the presence of agglutinating activity against human A, B and O blood group RBC's by the same legume seeds.…”

The present study has been undertaken to analyze the effect of various processing methods like (i) soaking followed by autoclaving with (a) ash, (b) sodium bicarbonate, (c) sugar and (d) water; (ii) dry heating and (iii) fermentation on nutritional and antinutritional components of under-utilized tree legume Parkia roxburghii. The applied methods were found to enhance the protein (15-36 %) and lipid content (11-69 %) and to decrease the other proximal components. All the methods significantly reduced the antinutrients viz. condensed tannins, phytate, saponins, trypsin inhibitors, chymotrypsin inhibitors and lectins. Exceptionally, increased content was documented on total phenolics (117-207 %) and tannins (171-257 %). These reduced antinutritional loads have led to an increase in protein (9-20 %) and starch digestibility (75-254 %). Fermented kernels, the best processed form showed characteristic leguminous pattern for content and composition of amino acids, fatty acids and minerals. So knowledge gathering and exploration of nutritionally balanced under-utilized legumes would enhance food and nutritional security.

“…Grown in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, the seeds, believed to have a range of medicinal properties, are in pods of 5 cm width and 30 cm long (Suvachittanont and Peutpaiboon 1992). While the seeds can be eaten raw or cooked, the pods are regarded as wastes, and as one of the biggest producers of PS this presents a waste disposal problem for Malaysia.…”

Biosorption of cadmium(II) ions (Cd 2? ) onto Ananas comosus (AC) peel, Parkia speciosa (PS) pods and Psidium guajava (PG) peel were investigated in this study. Batch sorption experiments were performed by investigating the effect of initial pH. It was found that Cd 2? uptake was highly dependent on the initial pH and Cd 2? removal efficiency was highest for PG peel, followed by AC peel and PS pods. Biosorption experiments were carried out using different initial Cd 2? concentration and the experimental data obtained was fitted to both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The experimental data was found to best fit the Langmuir isotherm, and adsorption capacities of 18.21 mg/g (AC peel), 25.64 mg/g (PS pods) and 39.68 mg/g (PG peel) were obtained. Comparison with published adsorption capacities for other low-cost biosorbents indicates that PS pods and PG peel have potential as low-cost biosorbent materials for the removal of Cd 2? from aqueous solution.

“…In the Mimosoideae subfamily, only the seed lectins from A. constricta (VL) [3], Parkia speciosa (PSL) [17], P. javanica [18], P. platycephala (PPL-1) [19], P. discolor (PDL) [20], and the chimerolectin from P. plathycephala (PPL-2) [21] have been isolated and characterized in some detail. Moreover, crystal structures are available only for the native PPL-1 (1ZGR) [22] and in complex with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-α-D-mannose (1ZGS) [23], and PPL-2 (2GSJ) [24].…”

A lectin-like protein from the seeds of Acacia farnesiana was isolated from the albumin fraction, characterized, and sequenced by tandem mass spectrometry. The albumin fraction was extracted with 0.5 M NaCl, and the lectin-like protein of A. farnesiana (AFAL) was purified by ion-exchange chromatography (Mono-Q) followed by chromatofocusing. AFAL agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and did not agglutinate human ABO erythrocytes either native or treated with proteolytic enzymes. In sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis under reducing and nonreducing conditions, AFAL separated into two bands with a subunit molecular mass of 35 and 50 kDa. The homogeneity of purified protein was confirmed by chromatofocusing with a pI = 4.0 +/- 0.5. Molecular exclusion chromatography confirmed time-dependent oligomerization in AFAL, in accordance with mass spectrometry analysis, which confers an alteration in AFAL affinity for chitin. The protein sequence was obtained by a liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight experiment and showed that AFAL has 68% and 63% sequence similarity with lectins of Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos biflorus, respectively.
