Anticancer effect of underutilized fruits
Plants, particularly fruits and vegetables, have many phytochemicals that possess various bioactivities, including antioxidant and anticancer properties. In this study, the aim was to investigate the antiproliferative properties of Syzygium fruits, namely water apple (Syzygium aqueum), milk apple (Syzygium malaccense), and malay apple (Syzygium malaccense L.) against two types of cancer-origin ...
متن کاملA comparative study of nutritional composition and potential use of some underutilized tropical fruits of Arecaceae.
In this study, pulp and kernel of fruits from six Arecaceae species were subjected to proximate analysis, fatty acid composition and total carotenoid content analysis. The species with the highest carbohydrate, lipid and protein values were Ptychosperma macarthurii(70.1 g/100 g in the kernel), Syagrus cearensis(40.6 g/100 g in the kernel), andS. coronata(20.6 g/100 g in the pulp). The ash conte...
متن کاملMetabolic Fingerprinting to Assess the Impact of Salinity on Carotenoid Content in Developing Tomato Fruits
As the presence of health-promoting substances has become a significant aspect of tomato fruit appreciation, this study investigated nutrient solution salinity as a tool to enhance carotenoid accumulation in cherry tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Juanita). Hereby, a key objective was to uncover the underlying mechanisms of carotenoid metabolism, moving away from typical black box rese...
متن کاملThe carotenoid content of colostrum.
It was shown by van Eeckelen (1) that the yellow color of colostrum was due to the high content of carotenoids but the mechanism has not been clari i ed. By estimating the vitamin A level of the blood both during pregnancy and in the puerperal period, it has been shown that the plasma A level drops rapidly in the last stages of pregnancy even when adequate nourishment is given the mother.
