“…Purslane is very rich in minerals and nutrients [43], as well as mustard and radish, but as purslane absorbs salts [44], this may explain the early calcium rise despite the plant's small size. These results are consistent with those of [45] in that the purslane plant is a strong absorbent of salts which agrees with [46] in that purslane is a plant rich in calcium.…”

“…It is clear from our research that vitamin C is initially available in all types of selected plants, and this seems appropriate because vitamin C is perhaps one of the most widespread vitamins among plants, which may seem compatible with its availability in all stages of germination and from the beginning, indicating its importance as a vital component for the plant in general. From the research results, it appears that purslane is superior to both radishes and brown mustard in vitamin C content, which is consistent with [43] in referring to the nutrient-rich purslane plant, which is also a rich source of vitamins in general, and also with [45], as their results report that purslane can be considered as a source of high-quality biologically active components of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) for therapeutic purposes in raising the body's immunity and increasing its resistance to viral infections, including covid-19. Also [52,53], in his description of nutritious foods, refers to the richness of purslane in vitamin C, an antioxidant and one of these vitamins available in the plant.…”

The study was conducted under the condition of the laboratory affiliated with the Department of Horticulture/College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences/University of Baghdad, aiming to investigate the effect of soaking seeds in water and the storage period (0, 3, and 7 days) on some traits of sprouts produced from three types of plants (brown mustard, red radish, and purslane). The completely randomized design (CRD) was used in this experiment involving three factors with three replicates. Results demonstrated that the red radish sprouts were significantly superior in the contents of carbohydrates, chlorophyll, fibers, phosphorous, and protein; purslane sprouts were superior in the contents of calcium, potassium, and vitamin C; mustard sprouts were superior in the contents of calcium, chlorophyll, and potassium. Soaking seeds gave results significantly superior to non-soaking seeds in each carbohydrate, fiber, phosphorous, protein, and vitamin C content. The sprout storage period also significantly affected the trait that the second and third periods were superior to the first period in the most studied traits. Concerning the binary introduction, the non-soaked seeds affected the most traits in the interactions A x B and B x C. In the interaction A x C (plant type with the storage period), most results refer to the significant superiority of the red radish sprouts stored for a further time. Regarding the triple interactions, non-soaked seeds and long storage periods of the red radish sprouts were significantly superior in most interaction treatments.

“…Our results showed that the ascorbic acid content of E. latifolia was lower than that reported from Sikkim by Dasila and Singh (71). This variation may be attributed to different analytical methods, as reported by Dias et al (72). The E. pyriformis reported in this study had a lower ascorbic acid content than that reported from Manipur (20.10 mg/100 g) by Khomdram et al (70).…”

“…The variations in genetic make-up among the species may be the cause of the variations in total carotenoids. Dias et al (72) have also reported the great influences of varieties, maturity, cultural management, environment, postharvest care, storage conditions, and analytical methods on the formation of secondary metabolites, including the total carotenoid content in fruit crops. The high carotenoid content of these fruits is an important indicator of their quality and high nutritional value (83).…”

Biochemical and antioxidant activity of wild edible fruits of the eastern Himalaya, India

The eastern Himalayas, one of the important hotspots of global biodiversity, have a rich diversity of wild edible fruit trees. The fruits of these tree species have been consumed by the tribal people since time immemorial. However, there is limited information available on the biochemical and antioxidant properties of the fruits. Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to study the physico-chemical and antioxidant properties of the nine most important wild fruit trees. Among the species, Pyrus pashia had the maximum fruit weight (37.83 g), while the highest juice (43.72%) and pulp content (84.67%) were noted in Haematocarpus validus and Myrica esculenta, respectively. Maximum total soluble solids (18.27%), total sugar (11.27%), moisture content (88.39%), ascorbic acid content (63.82 mg/100 g), total carotenoids (18.47 mg/100 g), and total monomeric anthocyanin (354.04 mg/100 g) were recorded in H. validus. Docynia indica had the highest total phenolic content (19.37 mg GAE/g), while H. validus recorded the highest total flavonoids and flavanol content. The antioxidant activities of the different fruits ranged from 0.17 to 0.67 IC50 for DPPH activity and 3.59–13.82 mg AAE/g for FRAP. These fruits had attractive pigmentation of both pulp and juice and were a good potential source for the extraction of natural edible color in the food industry. The fruits also possess high market prices; Prunus nepalensis fetched $ 34.10–$ 141.5 per tree. Therefore, these fruits are rich sources of antioxidants, pigments and have a high market value for livelihood and nutritional security.

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is a popular orphan crop used for its nutritional properties in various parts of the world. It is considered one of the richest terrestrial sources of omega-3 and omega-6-fatty acids (ω-3 and 6-FAs) suggesting its importance for human health. This ethnomedicinal plant is also an important part of traditional healing systems among the indigenous people. Many studies have indicated its tolerance against multiple stresses and found that it easily grows in a range of environmental gradients. It has also been considered one of the important biosaline crops for the future. Despite its huge nutritional, economic, and medicinal importance, it remains neglected to date. Most of the studies on purslane were focused on its ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, pharmacological, and stress-tolerance properties. Only a few studies have attempted genetic dissection of the traits governing these traits. Purslane being an important traditional food crop across the globe can be valorized for a sustainable food security in the future. Therefore, this review is an attempt to highlight the distribution, domestication, and cultivation of purslane and its importance as an important stress-tolerant food and a biosaline crop. Furthermore, identification of genes and their functions governing important traits and its potential for improvement using genomics tools for smart and biosaline agriculture has been discussed.
