Echium oil (EO) is rich in stearidonic acid (SDA) as well linolenic acid, which have many health benefits, and protective roles inflammation, cardiovascular disease (CVD) cancer. The study aims to produce evaluate yoghurt fortified with encapsulated echium (EEO) a functional low-fat dairy food. EEO was added skimmed buffalo milk at rate of 0, 2, 4, 6% (w/v) create 4 treatments. Physiochemical, ...

Chemical property of honey from Echium vulgare was investigated. In comparison with other honey species, the contents of total phenolic compounds and total flavonoids were the highest. α-Amylase activity was also extremely high: about three to nine hundred times as much as those of other honey species. The antioxidative activity of honey was investigated using four different methods. Honey from...

Green roofs (GRs) are proposed to offset against numerous environmental and socio-economic concerns associated with climate change urban sprawl. In Mediterranean areas, protect conserve biodiversity through GRs, the use of native plant species from arid environments shallow roots is generally recommended. north Europe, Echium vulgare L. widely used on GRs for its tolerance abiotic stresses attr...

In this work, microencapsulation of omega-3 lipids from sustainable sources, including oilseeds such as Salvia hispanica L., Echium plantagineum L. and Camelina sativa microalgal (from Nannochloropsis gaditana) enzymatically produced fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), was successfully done by spray drying their outcomes studied. Previous to process, lipid extracts new sources (chia, camelina echi...

Z. Naturforsch. 55 b, 459—461 (2000); received February 21, 2000 Biomineralization, Silica, Silicon-Accumulating Plants A series of silicon-accumulating plants [different Equisetum (horse tail) species, Echium vulgare, and Symphytum officinale] were studied by solid-state 29Si NMR experiments. For this purpose, selected parts of these plants were freeze-dried and then investigated by solid-stat...

The methanolic extract of the whole plant of Echium glomeratum Poir. (Boraginaceae) has afforded five pyrrolizidine alkaloids, three that were (7S, 8R)-petranine (1), (7S, 8S)-petranine (2), and (7R, 8R)-petranine (3a) or (7R, 8S)-petranine (3b), comprising a tricyclic pyrrolizidine alkaloids subclass; and two that were known but to the species: 7-angeloylretronecine (4) and 9-angeloylretroneci...

The pyrrolizidine alkaloids previously identified in floral honey attributed to Echium vulgare (Boraginaceae) have been detected (8000-14 000 ppm) in pure pollen collected from the anthers of Echium vulgare. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids and/or their N-oxides were isolated from the aqueous acid extracts of pollen by use of strong cation-exchange, solid-phase extraction and identified by liquid chroma...
