Nutritional and Antinutritional Assessment of Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC var. pruriens an Underutilized Tribal Pulse
INTRODUCTION Protein-energy malnutrition is among the most serious problems tropical developing countries are facing today. This can be attributed mainly to the ever-increasing population as well as to the enhanced dependence on a cereal – based diet, scarcity of fertile land and degradation of natural resources [1,2]. It has been estimated that 800 million malnourished people exist in some of ...
متن کاملIn Vitro Lipid Peroxidation and Antimicrobial Activity of Mucuna Pruriens Seeds
The present investigation is aimed to carry out the in vitro lipid peroxidation and antimicrobial activities of the methanol extract of Mucuna pruriens (MEMP) (Family: Fabaceae) seeds. Lipid peroxidation was monitored by the change in optical density of the prepared concentrations (10-320 g/ml) and the % inhi-bition was calculated. Ascorbate/FeSO4-induced peroxidation was inhibited by standard ...
متن کاملDrought response of Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. inoculated with ACC deaminase and IAA producing rhizobacteria
Drought is one of the major constraints limiting agricultural production worldwide and is expected to increase in the future. Limited water availability causes significant effects to plant growth and physiology. Plants have evolved different traits to mitigate the stress imposed by drought. The presence of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could play an important role in improving pla...
متن کاملNutritional quality and physicochemical properties of Mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens L.) protein isolates
The potential for mucuna bean protein isolate (MBPI) application as functional ingredient in foods is unknown. In this study nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of MBPI were investigated. Bean samples were processed for L-dopa extraction in distilled water adjusted to pH 3.2 at 60°C for 48hr. MBPI was extracted at pH 9.0 and isoelectrically precipitated at pH 4.5. MBPI from raw a...
متن کاملAntitumor Activity and In Vivo Antioxidant Status of Mucuna Pruriens (Fabaceae) Seeds against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma in Swiss Albino Mice
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the antitumor effect and antioxidant role of Mucuna pruriens (Family: Fabaceae) against EAC bearing Swiss albino mice. The effect of methanol extract of Mucuna pruriens (MEMP) on tumor growth and hosts survival time was studied by the following parameters: tu-mor volume, packed cell volume, viable and non-viable cell count and life span of the host. M...
