Abstract

Basella alba is an underutilized green leafy vegetable predominantly grown in the Asian subcontinent. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, phenols, and antioxidants. Ferulic acid, gallic acid, caffeic acid, lutein, zeaxanthin, and β-carotene are the major bioactive compounds present in B. alba. However, their potential as ingredients for development of functional foods has not been fully explored. Extraction and encapsulation of bioactive compounds from Basella alba will help in their incorporation into foods imparting functionality to the developed foods. Therefore, it is important to explore the potential of B. alba as functional food perse or as an ingredient in various processed food products for imparting functional attributes to such products. This review, therefore aims to identify the bioactive compounds present in Basella, in addition to evaluating the nutritional and therapeutic properties of this vegetable and also appraise different methods for extraction and encapsulation of bioactive compounds present in it.

Abstract

In this paper we report the fruit characteristics and seed polyembryony in langsat, Lansium parasiticum (syn. Lansium domesticum Corr.). This fruit tree belongs to the family Meliaceae in order Sapindales and is considered to be native of western South East Asia and is common in both wild and cultivated forms throughout Malaysia and Philippines where the fruits are very popular and the tree is being utilized in reforestation efforts. It is also grown in southern Thailand and Vietnam and flourishes in the Nilgiris and other humid areas of South India. In the present investigation we report the morphological and biochemical parameters of the plants and fruits obtained from State Horticultural Farm, Buliar (latitude 11.34; longitude 76.79) in Tamil Nadu, at elevation of 360 m MSL and receiving average annual rainfall of 125.14 cm. The plantation was established in the year 1900 and consists of various tropical trees like mangosteen, langsat, arecanut, coffee, silveroak, pepper, cinnamon in tier system of planting.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera leaves are known for its high nutritional quality. Its leaves are commonlyused for culinary purposes and it was explored as a potential nutraceutical in recent decades.Tea or herbal infusions have become an integral part of daily diet for a population who concernedabout a healthy lifestyle. Many herbs or plant parts have been used as infusions which providehealth promoting phytochemicals to the consumers. Therefore moringa infusions were preparedalong with some herbs/flavouring agents such as tulsi, ginger and lemon grass. Total polyphenolcontent in the infusions ranged between 685 and 1567 mg GAE/100 mL. Among phenolic acidsdetected, gallic acid was highest in all the treatments. Infusion containing moringa and tulsiscored high in organoleptic evaluation. Thus, moringa infusion can become an add-on varietyto the tea/herbal infusion consumers.
