Enzymatic browning reactions by polyphenol oxidases cause alteration of appearance, flavor and nutritive value vegetables fruits. It is one the important problems for used as salads causes lots economic losses. In this study, oxidase (PPO) from Eruca sativa was extracted characterization studies were carried out. Substrate specificity variable substrates, optimum pH, temperature, effect differe...

BACKGROUND Oilseed Brassica represents an important group of oilseed crops with a long history of evolution and cultivation. To understand the origin and evolution of Brassica amphidiploids, simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to unravel genetic variations in three diploids and three amphidiploid Brassica species of U's triangle along with Eruca sativa as an outlier. RESULTS Of 124...

Sonchus eruca and Sonchus asper were analyzed for their chemical evaluation, vitamins and bioactive secondary metabolite. The results revealed the presence of bioactive constituents comprising alkaloids (1.24 to 1.34 mg/100 g), saponins (1.46 to 1.72 mg/100 g), flavonoids (1.61 to 1.34mg/100 g), phenols (1.32 to1.44 mg/100g), saponins (0.12 to 0.41mg/100 g) and tannins (0.02 to 0.61 mg/100g). T...

Antibacterial activity of various solvent extracts of Eruca sativa seed as well as seed oil was investigated against Gram+ve and Gram-ve bacterial strains. Maximum zone of inhibition was observed from seed oil followed by methanolic seed extracts from all bacterial strains compared with broad spectrum antibiotics gentamicine. MIC values of seed oil were within the ranges of 5272 μg/ml as compar...
