“…Compared to other legumes, lentils are low in fat; therefore, it has been used as a plant protein source in weight-loss diets (Dueῆas et al 2002;Oh et al 2009). The present study identified contents of saturated fatty acids including myristic acid (C14:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), and stearic acid (C18:0) and unsaturated fatty acids including oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2), and linolenic acid (C18:3) ( Table 1).…”

“…Lentils have since long been recognized as functional foods that promote health and have therapeutic properties such as antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial activities, antihypertensive, immune regulatory, and cholesterol reducing properties (Shahidi and Zhong 2008;Nithiyanantham et al 2012). In addition, lentils have a lower fat content than most legumes and as such, can be helpful for weight loss (Dueῆas et al 2002). In Korea, lentils were imported for the healthy functional food and their amount of import was about 12,000 ton in 2014.…”

Metabolite profile is a powerful analytical technique to identify the functional characterization of plants. In this study, the phytochemicals and secondary metabolites of lentils (Lens culinaris) were analyzed to compare the anti-oxidative activities according to the different colors. The polar metabolites, fatty acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, total phenolic acids, DPPH activity were analyzed. Three kind of lentils, French green whole lentil (FG), red whole lentil (LR), and green whole lentil (LG) (ASIA SEED Co., LTD), were used for this study. Fatty acids, phytochemicals, and antioxidative components from each lentil varieties were analyzed by official methods. The contents of lutein in carotenoids were 6-9 times higher than zeaxanthin in all lentils, but were not significantly different among three varieties. The content of carotenoids in FG was lower significantly than those in the LR and LG. Myricetin and luteolin were detected in the only FG. Kaempferol and delphinidin were significantly highest in the FG. Most of the phenolic acids except coumarate were higher in FG and LG than in LR. Also antioxidant effects (EC50) were higher in FG and LG than in LR. The analyzed metabolites obtained from lentils showed distinct separation in the PCA results according to the varieties. Also, lentils showed different anti-oxidant profiles according to the colors. FG and LG showing higher contents of phytochemicals showed higher antioxidative activity than LG containing relative low contents of phytochemicals.

Abstract-The work studied the effect of germination on proximate, phenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activities (AOA) of African Yam been (AYB). Germination was done in controlled dark chamber (100% RH, 28 o C). The proximate, phenol and flavonoid content and antioxidant activities before and after germination were investigated. The crude protein, moisture, and crude fiber content of germinated AYB were significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of ungermianated seed, while the fat, Ash and carbohydrate content of ungerminated were higher than the germinated seed. Germination increased the phenol and flavoniod content by 19.14% and 14.53% respectively. The results of AOA assay showed that the DPPH, reducing power and FRAP of germinated AYB seed gave high values: 48.92 ±1.22 µg/ml, 0.75± 0.15µg/ml and 98.60±0.04 µmol/g while that of ungerminated seed were:31.33µ/ml, 0.56±1.52µg/ml and 96.11±1.13µmol/g respectively. Germinated AYB has phytochemicals with potential AOA for disease prevention.

“…The seed phenolics are represented by condensed tannins (present in significant amounts, especially in the seed coat), phenolic acids, lignans, stilbens, and flavonoids. The reported lentil flavonoids comprise mainly catechin and and glycosidic derivatives of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, apigenin and luteolin [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9]. The marked differences in flavonoid profiles among individual studies can be explained by the use of different cultivars and plant growth conditions.…”

Novel Flavonol Glycosides from the Aerial Parts of Lentil (Lens culinaris)

2014

While the phytochemical composition of lentil (Lens culinaris) seeds is well described in scientific literature, there is very little available data about secondary metabolites from lentil leaves and stems. Our research reveals that the aerial parts of lentil are a rich source of flavonoids. Six kaempferol and twelve quercetin glycosides were isolated, their structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy and chemical methods. This group includes 16 compounds which have not been previously described in the scientific literature: (3), their derivatives 4-10,12-15,17,18 acylated with caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, or 3,4,5-trihydroxycinnamic acid and kaempferol (11). Their DPPH scavenging activity was also evaluated. This is probably the first detailed description of flavonoids from the aerial parts of lentil.
