“…Mechanisms of action of polyphenols mulberry extracts and related compounds as neuroprotectors in brain damage and aging was found by Rebai et al, [27] which is also active for brain disorder that can be effective for pest control which was revealed in our experiments. As the present investigation was carried on plant based pesticides or botanicals so it follows the traditional practice of pest control.…”

Petroleum ether (Pet. ether), CHCl 3 and CH 3 OH extracts of white mulberry were subjected to dose-mortality tests against Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium castaneum (Hbst.). Pet. ether extract of leaves against C. chinensis, S. oryzae and T. castaneum provided LD 50 9. 16, 5.06, 3.79, 2.81, 2.06, 1.55, 1.32, 1.38 mg/g; 17.6, 12.9, 11.3, 82.4, 83.5, 9.47, 8.73, 8.61 mg/g and 0.93, 0.826, 0.691, 0.623, 0.567, 0.532, 0.525 mg/cm 2 after 0. 5,6,12,24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h of exposures respectively. Against C. chinensis Pet. ether extract of root and stem bark gave LD 50 28.3, 20.7, 18.4, 16.9, 14.4, 13.6, 13.3, 13.3 mg/g and 86.3, 228.9, 177, 109, 61.0, 21.8, 0.999, 15 mg/g after 0.5, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h of exposures respectively. CH 3 OH extracts of leaves offered LD 50 21.5, 20.4, 17, 16.2, 15.6, 14.7 mg/g against C. chinensis; 5.4, 14.7, 13.7, 11, 10.9, 9.46, 9.10 mg/g against S. oryzae; and 3.804, 3.429, 3.284, 2.736, 2.441, 2.311, 2.264 mg/cm 2 against T. castaneum after 6,12,24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h of exposures respectively. Against S. oryzae CH 3 OH extract of root and CHCl 3 of stem bark gave LD 50 19.5, 19.1, 17.5, 16.7, 16.2, 15.8, 15.9 mg/g and 9.77, 9.44, 7.71, 6.56, 5.94, 5.39, 5.4 mg/g after 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 h of exposures respectively. However, CHCl 3 extract of leaves and root didn't show mortality.

“…It has also been reported that mulberries contain several bioactive phytochemicals like anthocyanins, phloridzin (Figure 2), quercetin (Figure 2), chlorogenic acid (Figure 2), resveratrol (Figure 2), rutin (Figure 2) (Gundogdu et al, 2011;Shrikanta et al, 2015;Tomas et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2016). The presence of phytochemicals and nutraceuticals in mulberries is responsible for a synergistic and diversified biological activities such as anticancer (Aggarwal et al, 2004), antioxidant (Jiang et al, 2013), anti-diabetic (Wang et al, 2013;Swathi et al, 2017), neuroprotective (Rebai et al, 2017), hepatoprotective (Deniz et al, 2018), anti-inflammatory (Chen et al, 2016b), antibacterial (Budiman et al, 2017), anti-obesity (Peng et al, 2011), and hypolipidemic activities (Yang et al, 2010). Availability of required nutrients and phytochemicals from the plant sources is essential.…”

The review highlights the significance of mulberry fruits in both chemical and biological sagacity and their role as antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, hypolipidemic, and antibacterial. Besides, having phytochemicals induced biological pathways and nutritional value. Although a number of mulberry fruits species available in nature, the review elucidates the specific role of Morus alba, Morus nigra, Morus rubra, whose functions in living systems are poorly implicit. Many Pharmacological properties of mulberry fruits which are discovered in the recent past for therapeutic purposes also highlighted. Further, ethnopharmacological relevance, medicinal aspects, and bioavailability of mulberry fruits are discussed in detail.

“…Mulberry is a multi-functional plant and a great source of nutrients and phytochemicals, which include flavonoids, which have antioxidant activity and phenolic constituents with major active components of biological activities (Rebai et al, 2017). According to Srivastava et al (2006) Mulberry has also been established as functional food due to health promotion and disease prevention.…”

In Kenya, Mulberry is grown in less than a piece of an acre by most of the farmers. Current acreage of mulberry stands at 250, spread over Western, Nyanza, and Rift Valley and Coastal regions. Mulberry leaves are highly palatable and digestible (70-90%) to ruminants and can be fed to non-ruminants as part of feed ingredient. Protein content and essential amino acid profile in the leaves and young stems varies from 15 to 35% depending on the variety. The Mulberry leaves are highly applicable as supplements replacing concentrates for dairy cattle, as the main feed for goats and sheep, and as an ingredient in rabbits and pigs’ diets. Farmers growing mulberry fodder offer higher protein content to livestock than those relying on different varieties of Napier grass, which have failed to boost milk production despite the amounts fed. In non-ruminant production, fishmeal and soybean meals are the main source of protein. In ruminant production, cottonseed meal and canola meal are the main source of protein. These meals are expensive, inadequate in supply and of variable quality. This often leads to low egg production and poor-quality eggs, hence low income and poverty among farmers. Therefore, efforts have been made to identify locally available protein feed resources that can be used as a protein supplement for livestock. Mulberry leaf meal (MLM) has been identified as a locally available alternative protein and mineral source that are beneficial to livestock and have been proven to improve production. Int. J. Agril.
