The aim of this review is develop to phytochemicals-based functional products against obesity and cancer management. Natural have been made from reliable sources in past centuries. Phytochemicals are natural compounds that available vegetables, legumes, tea crops, fruits various spices. known as secondary metabolites including carotenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes, saponins, c...

There are numerous medicinal plants in the Southern and Eastern Nigeria. These widely utilized Nigerian traditional system of medicine for treatment countless illnesses. This paper focused on phytochemical essential composition aerial parts Leonurus cardiaca. The oil screening characterization were carried out using high performance liquid chromatography gas chromatography. Results obtained fro...

The diversifi ed genus Passifl ora is well distributed all over Brazil, and many species have been long used as medicinal plants, mainly against anxiety disturbances. This effect has been attributed to its rich fl avonoid composition. Flavonoids’ main class, fl avonoid glycosides, has presented central action, particularly as sedativehypnotic, anxiolytic and analgesic. The objective of the pres...

Glucosinolates (GSLs) and cyanogenic glycosides (CGs) fulfil functions in plant defence have been reported to be anticancer agents. Generally, GSL-containing plants do not produce CG, vice versa, CG-containing synthesise GSLs. However, the production of both GSL CG compounds was observed Carica papaya. Additionally, several studies found glucotropaeolin prunasin papaya leaves. The advancement g...

RUST, L. A., W. E. FRY, and S. V. BEER. 1980. Hydrogen cyanide sensitivity in bacterial pathogens of cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic plants. Phytopathology 70:1005-1008. The cyanide sensitivity of bacterial pathogens of cyanogenic and nongenerally were more sensitive to HCN than were the xanthomonads tested. cyanogenic plants was determined by observing the effects of HCN on their Among xanthomon...

Y. GUEGUEN, P. CHEMARDIN, P. LABROT, A. ARNAUD AND P. GALZY. 1997. The lactic acid bacterium, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, when grown on an arbutin-containing medium, was found to produce an intracellular b-glucosidase. The enzyme was purified by chromatofocusing, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The molecular mass of the purified intracellular b-glucosidase, as estimated by gel fi...

The presence of cyanide compounds restricts the utilization wild yam (Dioscorea hispida) tubers for food or ingredients. Traditional detoxification, usually used in chips processing, has not been evaluated its effectiveness reducing cyanogenic compounds. Processing into flour will increase and pregelatinization improve functional properties. This study aimed to evaluate effect 4 traditional det...

Plants have evolved a plethora of different chemical defenses covering nearly all classes of (secondary) metabolites that represent a major barrier to herbivory: Some are constitutive; others are induced after attack. Many compounds act directly on the herbivore, whereas others act indirectly via the attraction of organisms from other trophic levels that, in turn, protect the plant. An enormous...
