“…In folk medicine, different parts of this plant have been used for the treatment of bronchitis, leprosy, dermatitis, measles, urinary tract ailments and type 2 diabetes mellitus [11]. Its leaves have been used for alleviating hepatitis, asthma, cold and cancer, where its roots were found helpful in managing digestive and respiratory disorders [12]. Ten phenolic compounds isolated from P. tectorius, out of which vanillin showed strong antioxidant activity [13].…”

Background Diabetes mellitus (DM), an endocrine disease is characterized by increased level of blood glucose. Diabetes may affect other functions of the body and organs including, renal function and lipid metabolism. Pandanus tectorius (P. tectorius) Parkinson ex Du Roi is a small tree used in folk medicine in treatment of many diseases. Methods Diabetes in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight for 3 days. Water and ethanol extracts of root, stem and leave of P. tectorius were given to rats at 200 mg/kg body weight at day 3. Rats were sacrificed on day 4 after 12 h fasting. Serum glucose and other biochemical parameters like liver enzymes; [alanine aminotransferases (ALT), aspartate aminotransferases (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)], kidney parameters (urea & creatinine), lipid profile [total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides] and coronary artery risk index (CRI) were estimated in blood serum. Antioxidant potential, polyphenol content and phytochemical constituents in different parts of P. tectorius were also determined. Results Results showed that water extract of stem and ethanol extract of root of P. tectorius produced maximum fall in sugar level of alloxan diabetic rats. Extracts of all three plant parts significantly dropped the increased level of urea and creatinine with maximum reduction in creatinine was observed by water extract of root. P.tectorius extracts showed positive effect on liver enzymes and lipid profile by bringing them closer to normal range in comparison to alloxan diabetic control rats. Phytochemical screening indicated presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and saponin in P. tectorius. In DPPH free radical scavenging test the highest antioxidant potential was found in water extract of roots, while ethanol extract of stem also showed good activity. Conclusion The study demonstrated that different parts of P.tectorius have potential to attenuate diabetes and diabetes related complications like, liver, kidney dysfunction and lipid metabolism.

“…The leaves are used for making mats, baskets and fish traps, while the fibrous root is used for brushes (Akpabio & Akpakpan, 2012). In traditional medicine the leaves are used for the treatment of sore throat, and bark infusions are used to cure diarrhoea, dysentery, enteritis, antispasmodic, diuretic, and stimulant properties (Baba et al, 2016). Despite of its various applications there is none for using P. candelabrum stem for synthesis of active adsorbent.…”

Pandanus candelabrum stem, a new precursor, was used to synthesise activate carbon. The effect of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, zinc (II) chloride, ZnCl2 and phosphoric acid, H3PO4, different agents on prepared adsorbents was investigated. The adsorbents were prepared with chemical agents and carbonized at 400 oC for 1 hour. Surface morphology, elemental composition and functional groups were analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The image analysis showed the presence of both micropores and mesopores in the adsorbents. The H3PO4 activated carbon had the maximum surface area (2648 m2/g), pore volume (1.683 cm3/g) and highest adsorption for iodine and methylene blue were 541 and 105 mg/g. Pandanus candelabrum stem is an alternative material that can be used to synthesis high porous adsorbent because is abundant, easy to access, inexpensive and readily available. Keywords: Activated, adsorption, iodine number, methylene blue, Pandanus candelabrum, reagents

“…The use of citric acid is substituted by Averrhoa blimbi because it contains a high level of natural Vitamin C of 25mg/100g and citric acid contained in Averrhoa blimbi is 92.6-133.8 meq acid/100 g total solid (Kurup and Mini, 2017). The phytochemicals contained in Averrhoa blimbi including oxalic, saponins, phenols, flavonoids (Baba et al, 2016). Saponins and flavonoids contained in Averrhoa blimbi can stimulate pancreas in producing and releasing insulin hormones, and regenerate damaged pancreatic beta cells in people with diabetes mellitus (Chang et al, 2013).…”

Breadfruit leaves contain antioxidant including flavonoids and phenolics compound. This study aims to analyze the chemical characteristics (antioxidant capacity, phenolic and flavonoid content) of sinom drinks sourced from breadfruit leaves. The experimental design was employed by treatment of ratio between breadfruit leaves and tamarind leaves, which are 70% : 30%, 80% : 20%, 90% : 10%. Tworeplication data was then analyzed by ANOVA and DMRT, after a DPPH assay in antioxidant activity, flavonoid and phenolic content. Results show that the highest antioxidant activity is reached by a ratio of 90%: 10% with IC50 of 66,600 ppm. The larger the concentration of breadfruit leaves extract is given, the greater the antioxidant activity. The trend was similarly occured in the phenolic and flavonoids contents; in which the highest values of 90%: 10% ratio are 1926,091 mg/L and 582,717 mg / L, respectively.
