Assay of Nutritional Potential of the Fruits of Solanum indicum L. in Iran
نویسنده
چکیده
The proximate and phytochemical composition of the Fruits of Solanum indicum was investigated. The proximate composition includes crude fibre (8% wet weight), total carbohydrate (40.67% wet weight), crude protein (23.47% wet weight), total ash (22.66% wet weight), crude fat (5.26% wet weight) and caloric value of (303.9 wet weight). The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, polyphenols(7.02mg/g), and saponins. This result support the medicinal use of the plant, and in addition, unveils the possibility of its acting as a potential source of food nutrients and nutraceuticals.

A new characteristic steroidal glycoside of the 23S,26R-hydroxylated spirostanol-type named indioside F was isolated from the fruit of Solanum indicum, along with indioside A and protodioscin. On the basis of spectroscopic analysis, the structure of indioside F was found to be 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (beta-chacotriosyl) (22R,23...
