Introduction:Ever since ancient times, medicinal plants recognized as major source of therapeutics, as rescue for human diseases and maintain health. There is an exponential increase in usage of green medicines due to less cost and fewer side effects. The family Pinaceae, is largest conifer in species diversity. Pinus is the largest genus of monoecious, resiniferous, evergreen trees commonly known as Pines. Three species of pines occur wild in Indian Himalayas Pinus roxburghii, Pinus wallichiana , Pinus gerardiana. In addition, the constituents present in these plants are beneficial for the purpose of treatment of various ailments. Methods: Information was collected from scientific journals, books, and reports via electronic search tools( Medline, Pubmed etc.) Results: This review summarizes the existing information on three species of Pinus in relation to their pharmacognostic properties, phytochemistry, ethanopharmacology and pharmacological activities.

“…Only a few studies have been carried out to date on the antioxidant potential of Chilgoza and the measurement of its antioxidant compounds, although noticeable amounts of chiroinositol, pinitol and several glycosyl cyclitols (galactinol, galactopinitol A1, fagopyritol B1 and other glycosyl-inositols) have recently been reported in this type of nuts (Destaillats et al, 2010;Ruiz-Aceituno, Ramos, Martinez-Castro, & Sanz, 2012). In this study, the total antioxidant capacity of different solvent extracts of Chilgoza was examined using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and 2, 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•+) radical scavenging assays.…”

A B S T R A C TThe total antioxidant capacity of Pinus gerardania, or Chilgoza and the presence of antioxidant compounds which typically exist in pine nuts were quantified. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and 2, 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•+) radical cation scavenging assays were conducted on dichloromethane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol and water extracts of Chilgoza. The water and dichloromethane extracts displayed the highest antioxidant activity across all assays. Antioxidant compounds such as gallocatechin, catechin, lutein, lycopene, caretenoids and tocopherols were present in all extracts.Gallocatechin had the highest presence out of all the compounds. Its amounts present in the water and dichloromethane extracts were 64.9 and 56.9 µg per gram fresh weight (µg/g), respectively. The total carotenoid contents in the water and dichloromethane extracts were 14.72 and 14.26 µg/g, respectively, while the total tocopherol contents were 1.05 and 2.53 µg/g, respectively.

“…However, the main disadvantages of yeast treatment for the fractionation of GOS is the incapacity of the yeast cells to remove disaccharides such as lactose (digestible carbohydrate) and also the production of some metabolic products during fermentation, such as ethanol and trehalose (Hernández et al 2009). The selective removal of interfering carbohydrates was achieved; incubation time (3-40 h) was highly dependent on the composition of the legume considered (Ruiz-Aceituno et al 2012).

Food Oligosaccharides

IntroductionAs indicated in previous chapters, bioactive carbohydrates, both naturally occurring and synthesized, consist of mixtures with different degrees of polymerization (DP), glycosidic linkages or monosaccharide unit composition. Moreover, those present in natural products can be part of complex samples constituted by other compounds including lipids, proteins, and so forth .Fractionation and purification procedures are required for both oligosaccharide production and analysis. Regarding the production of bioactive oligosaccharides, the removal of mono-and disaccharides fractions could be required to evaluate their functional properties (e.g. in vitro prebiotic activity), to obtain enriched bioactive fractions or to use them as food ingredients in specialized products for individuals with different disorders (diabetes, lactose intolerance, etc.), as well as in low calorie foods with a reduction of some mono-and disaccharides.Fractionation of oligosaccharides based on their glycosidic linkages or monosaccharide composition can also be crucial for the elucidation of carbohydrate structures, and consequently, to gain insight into the structure/function relationship. Although analytical techniques have noticeably advanced over the past few years, chromatographic, spectrometric or spectroscopic tools are still not sufficient to achieve an exhaustive characterization of oligosaccharides present in complex mixtures.The most commonly used purification steps are centrifugation, precipitation, and / or filtration. These wide-ranging procedures are commented in each corresponding chapter and they will not be discussed here since this chapter will focus on effective tools to fractionate specific bioactive oligosaccharides from complex carbohydrate mixtures. Nevertheless, some exceptions will be made, as could be the case of the continuous enzymatic production of galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and their separation from the recycled enzyme or the fractionation of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from biomass, both accomplished by membrane filtration processes (section 15.2).Fractionation of oligosaccharides is not a straightforward task due to the structural complexity, which also includes similarities in carbohydrate structures. The search for fractionation techniques that obtain high selectivity and efficiency, using small solvent volumes, environmentally friendly and inexpensive, is one of the main aims of both researchers and industries. Figure 15.1 Scheme of the techniques used for the fractionation of food oligosaccharides.This chapter deals with the different procedures used for the fractionation of bioactive carbohydrates for either producing functional ingredients or preparing samples for further analysis. As summarized in Figure 15.1, this chapter will cover not only advances in traditional methods but also novel techniques with potential for use in this field. Membrane techniquesMembrane separation processes are normally driven by a pressure gradient in which the membrane fractionates components of a liquid mixture ...
