Propolis is a complex resinous material with many pharmacological and biological properties attributed to the presence of many volatile and non-volatile phytochemical compounds which have not been analysed in details for Malaysian propolis. In this study, we determined and compared volatile phytochemical compounds in water and ethanol extracts of Malaysian propolis (Trigona itama) using gas chr...

The circadian clock serves to coordinate metabolism and physiology with the diurnal cycles derived from daily rotation of earth. In Brassicaceae, rhythms contribute temporal variation in diverse phytochemicals and, hence, both resistance biotic stress edible crop health value. Understanding specialized metabolites present Brassica crops can improve selection future breeding strategies. this rev...

INTRODUCTION Dietary phytochemicals are found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains and may be categorised in a nested hierarchical manner with many hundred individual phytochemicals identified to date. To associate phytochemical intakes with positive health outcomes, a fundamental step is to accurately estimate the dietary phytochemical intake from foods reported. The purp...

The present study was to compare the Phytochemical and Antimicrobial analysis of W. somnifera and W. obtusifolia. In the Ethanolic leaf and root extract of Withania species were screened for phytochemical compounds by qualitative and FT-IR, UV method. Withania species have been used for remedies of human pathogen because they contain therapeutic compounds. This research work was mainly focused ...

Phytochemical investigation of the above-ground biomass of Asclepias sullivantii L. (Asclepiadaceae) afforded six new pregnane glycosides, named sullivantosides A-F (1–6). The structures of 1–6 were elucidated through a variety of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques (1D and 2D NMR; HRESIMS). To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first phytochemical study of this species....

sericostoma pauciflorum stocks ex wight(family boraginaceae) used against cancer, diabetes and known to be health promoter. callus cultures have been established from the stem explants on murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l concentration of different growth hormone viz. kinetin (kn), indole 3-acetic acid (iaa) and indole 3-butyric acid (iba). at 6 weeks of age, these call...

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) as a strategic and highly valuable medicinal plant in Iran with numerous beneficial pharmaceutical properties contributes substantially to Iranian herbs exports. In the present study, a variation on the phytochemical and antioxidant activity of 25 populations of valuable and profitable medicinal plant of G. glabra was investigated. The climate variables and soil...

The present study was performed to investigate the variation of phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting profiles of three Pyrola species. Thirteen samples (eight P. decorata, three P. calliantha and two P. renifolia) were collected from different regions in China. The tannin, hyperoside and quercetin contents of all sample...

Detarium microcarpum (DM) is shrub that grows wildly in Nigeria. Few studies have been conducted on the leaf extract. The plant forms part of some recipes used treatment sickle cell disease. This study aims to determine phytochemical composition and antisickling property various concentrations aqueous Quantitative qualitative screenings were using established protocols while prevention reversal...

OBJECTIVE Diets rich in whole and unrefined foods, like whole grains, dark green and yellow/orange-fleshed vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, contain high concentrations of antioxidant phenolics, fibers and numerous other phytochemicals that may be protective against chronic diseases. This study compared the effects of a phytochemical-rich diet versus a refined-food diet on lipopro...
