Phytochemical phenolics in organically grown vegetables.
Fruit and vegetable intake is inversely correlated with risks for several chronic diseases in humans. Phytochemicals, and in particular, phenolic compounds, present in plant foods may be partly responsible for these health benefits through a variety of mechanisms. Since environmental factors play a role in a plant's production of secondary metabolites, it was hypothesized that an organic agricu...
متن کاملAssessment of Pesticides Contents of Green Leafy Vegetables

Ingestion of vegetables containing pesticides is one of the main routes through which these enter the human body. Slowly released into the body, however, pesticides can cause an array of diseases. In this study we investigated the concentrations of some pesticides in the most frequently con...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Nutritional Values of Some Wild Plants Leafy Vegetables in South Eastern Nigeria
In this study the nutritional values of three woody leafy vegetables commonly consumed in the south eastern Nigeria were investigated. Fresh edible leaves of Heinsia crinata, Lasienthera africana and Pterocarpus mildbraedii were collected from the wild stands. Proximate analyses were carried out to evaluate their nutritional values vis-à-vis moisture, ash, fibre, protein, lipid, carbohydrate an...
متن کاملSome relationships between the amino acid contents of proteins and their nutritive values for the rat.
It is obvious that the nutritive value of a protein or mixture of proteins for any biological function or combination of functions is limited by the relative proportions of the essential amino acids contained in it; i.e., those amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the animal at a sufficiently rapid rate from any substances present in the usual diets. But it is not so clear that the amino a...
