Lipids of mulberry leaves and of mulberry silkworm excreta

Differential Metabolomics and Network Pharmacology Analysis of Silkworm Biotransformation between Mulberry Leaves and Silkworm Droppings

“…Mulberry leaf extract can resist hepatotoxicity induced by methotrexate [ 35 ]. SD can serve as a cheap source including chlorophylls, vitamins, and metal complexes of porphyrins [ 16 ]. SD extract (shengxuening tablet) has been used as an efficient oral iron supplement to IDA [ 36 – 38 ].…”

“…The chemical constituents of silkworm dropping are major in chlorophyll and chlorophyll derivatives, xanthophyll, carotenoid, flavonoids, and so forth [ 14 , 15 ]. Besides, the compositions of the lipids in SD were concentrated liposoluble compounds such as phytosterol, unsaturated fatty acid, and fatty alcohol [ 16 ]. The ML and SD are multicomponent, multitarget, and multipathway [ 17 ].…”

Glycolipids from Leaves of Eminium Lehmanii

“…GC of fatty-acid methyl esters was carried out as before [12]. Fresh leaves of E. Lehmanii were extracted with CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH (1:1, v/v) at a 3:1 solvent:leaf mass ratio at 20°C [14].…”

“…Non-lipid components were removed from the solid using CaCl 2 (0.04%). The total lipids were separated by column chromatography [12].…”

“…GL of cabbage leaves are rich in CB (31.7%) [10]; lettuce and dock [11], DGDG (31.4-24.6%). A significant amount of SG was observed in glycolipids of mulberry leaves [12]. Table 2 lists the fatty-acid compositions of separate GL classes as determined by GLC.…”
