“…The K, PO 4 , and SO 4 are the most common ions present in the galls with a concentration of 5,671.21 mg/kg, 1,037.42 mg/kg, and 665.71 mg/kg, respectively. Similarly, K content was found to be highest in the wild edible plants ( Kibar & Temel, 2015 ) , fruit and leaves ( Kumari, Parida, Rangani, & Panda, 2017; Yildirim, Şan, Yildirim, Polat, & Ercişli, 2015 ) , and vegetables ( Oladejo et al., 2019 ) . These results showed superior potential of QIG in terms of K content indicating that QIG could be evaluated as a rich K source.…”

This study was aimed to investigate chemical composition, biological activity, and food protecting ability of Quercus infectoria gall (QIG).The total content of phenolics, flavonoids, and hydrolyzable tannins was evaluated. Ion and fatty acid compositions of QIG were identified by ion chromatography and gas chromatography flow ionization detector (GC‐FID), respectively. Ellagic acid (28,156.85 mg/kg) and catechin (716.21 mg/kg) were predominant. The antioxidant activity of QIG was determined as 2.29, 1.65, 1.52, and 1.98 mmol Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)/g sample for DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and CUPRAC analyses, respectively. QIG extract exhibited dose‐dependent inhibition on α‐glucosidase enzyme with an IC50 value of 0.002 mg/ml. QIG displayed antimicrobial activity against selected reference and isolated mixed strains, most notably on Escherichia coli. The addition of QIG extract as a natural preservative to pasteurized cow’s milk resulted in lower total bacterial count (TBC), total yeast‐mold count (TYMC), and higher pH compared to control milk. Practical applications Quercus infectoria gall does not have a common use in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Exploration of the the biological value of Q. infectoria gall or its extracts could pave the way for the development of added value natural food preservatives and functional compounds. The chemical composition of Q. infectoria gall should be characterized and its biological functionality should be demonstrated beforehand. The results indicated that this plant could be considered as natural antidiabetic, antioxidant, and protective agents instead of synthetic materials and ingredients for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

“…The highest shoots were obtained under red LEDs, but with the lowest concentration of cytokinin in media. Fresh weight was greatest on LEDs containing blue light in the spectrum (B and RB); moreover, 5 µM BA increased dry Myrtus communis L., also known as true myrtle, is a perennial, evergreen shrub or small tree, typical of the Mediterranean region (Nassar et al 2010;Sumbul et al 2011;Aleksic and Knezevic 2014;Alipour et al 2014;Asgarpanah and Ariamanesh 2015;Yildirim et al 2015).

“…Myrtus communis has been used in medical practice for many years and it exhibits therapeutic effects (Romani et al 2004;Kalachanis and Psaras 2005;Gardeli et al 2008;Yoshimura et al 2008;Frohne and Classen 2006;Goncalves et al 2013;Taheri et al 2013;Aleksic and Knezevic 2014;Alipour et al 2014;Asgarpanah and Ariamanesh 2015;Bouaziz et al 2015;Yildirim et al 2015). Healing properties are related to the content of volatile oils, but also phenolic compounds, which can be divided into phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins that have a strong antioxidant effect (Romani et al 1999(Romani et al , 2012Balasundram et al 2006;Gardeli et al 2008;Yoshimura et al 2008;Pereira et al 2012;Aleksic and Knezevic 2014).…”

“…In addition, leaf analysis for mineral elements is an important guide to sustainable plant nutrition. The mineral composition of plants is influenced by factors such as growing conditions (climate, soil) and the phase of plant development (phenophase) (Penauelas et al, 2001;Erdal et al, 2006;Lipa, 2013;Yildirim et al, 2015).…”

Pseudocydonia sinensis (Thouin) C.K. Schneid. less known plant species in the Ukraine conditions, but the fruits were widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of asthma, colds, sore throat, mastitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and tuberculosis. In this study, chemical compositions of the leaves of Pseudocydonia sinensis were investigated. They contained total protein 6.66%, ash 8.54%, lipids 3.38%, beta carotene 90.30 mg/kg DW. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that the neutral carbohydrate part (fructose, maltose, sucrose, and lactose) was found in low amounts only (<0.5 g/kg). The major quantitative tocopherol in leaves was α-tocopherol (80.73 mg/kg DW). Saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, palmitic acid (C16:0; 53.36 g/100 g DW), oleic acid (C18:1; 12.49 g/100 g DW) and linoleic acid (C18:2; 8.24 g/100 g DW), respectively, were found predominant. Palmitic acid makes up 57.2% of the total amount. The total amount of amino acids found in the leaves was 53.90 g/kg DW, including total essential amino acids (28.60 g/kg DW) and percentage of total essential amino acids (53.06%). Glutamic acid was found of leaves to be the dominant free amino acid (6.5 g/kg DW) followed by aspartic acid (5.4 g/kg DW) and leucine (4.9 g/kg DW DW). The mineral composition of leaves of P. sinensis demonstrated the presence of elements in following order: Ca>K>Mg>P>S>Fe>Zn>Na>Mn>Al>Cu>Ni>Cr>Pb>Cd>Hg>As>Se. Studied antioxidant parameters showed that antioxidant activity by DPPH and molybdenum reducing power was 8.76 and 289.73 mg TE/g, respectively. Also, the total content of polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acids amounted to 65.77 mg GAE/g, 22.47 mg QE/g, and 9.06 mg CAE/g, respectively. The obtained data represent that leaves of P. sisnensis contain rich mineral composition, amino, and fatty acid composition and biologically active compounds such as polyphenols that can be used in the pharmaceutical study to validate its possible medicinal application. The study of less know and neglected plant species and it's raw can increase possible use in human life beneficial plant products.
