Nutritional and nutraceutical characterization of three wild edible mushrooms from Haryana, India
Mushrooms are included in the category of functional foods due to their culinary and pharmaceutical properties. In the present investigation, three wild edible mushrooms including Calocybe gambosa (Fr.) Donk (PUN 3538), Lentinus squarrosulus Mont. (PUN 3539), and Podaxis pistillaris (L.) Fr. (PUN 7151) collected from Haryana (India) were analyzed for their proximate composition and bioactive co...
متن کاملLotus – A potential nutraceutical source
Scarcity of protein rich food and food supplements are responsible for protein-energy malnutrition particularly among children and lactating women in the developing countries. Legumes and some dicotyledonous seeds constitute important sources of protein as well as energy. Bioprospecting of such unconventional sources is able to provide food security, agricultural development, self-dependence an...

متن کاملPhenolic profile and antioxidant potential of wild watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.)
Phenolic profile, antioxidant potential and pigment contents of wild watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.) were studied to assess the potential for future studies and its applications in neutraceuticals and bioactive functional ingredients. Different extracts of watercress (roots, stem and leaves) were analysed for pigment composition, total phenolic contents, and radical scavenging activity. T...
متن کاملTransgene escape: what potential for crop-wild hybridization?
To date, regional surveys assessing the risk of transgene escape from GM crops have focused on records of spontaneous hybridization to infer the likelihood of crop transgene escape. However, reliable observations of spontaneous hybridization are lacking for most floras, particularly outside Europe. Here, we argue that evidence of interspecific reproductive compatibility derived from experimenta...
