“…For this, the concentrations (mg L −1 ) of encapsulated GA (C GA ) in the solutions were extrapolated from the GA standard calibration curve (2, 4, 6 and 8 mg L −1 ). The quantities of GA in terms of the experimental (LD exp ) and theoretical (LD th ) percentages of loading, as well as the percentages of EE, were examined using Eqns (4), (5) and (6), respectively.…”

In this study, the preparation of biocompatible cellulose‐based microcapsules encapsulating gallic acid (GA), an important antioxidant of Bambara groundnut extracts, by water‐in‐oil inverse microsuspension polymerization was studied. GA and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were selected as core and shell materials, respectively. For high encapsulation efficiency, CMC was firstly modified (modified‐CMC (m‐CMC)) with 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS) as a silane coupling agent. It was subsequently polymerized with methacrylic acid (MAA) monomer through a radical route, forming a PMAA grafted m‐CMC (m‐CMC‐g‐PMAA) biocompatible polymer shell. Using CMC:MPS in a ratio of 75:25 (w/w %), highly water‐soluble m‐CMC containing a C=C bond for further radical polymerization was obtained. After inverse microsuspension polymerization at various ratios of m‐CMC:MAA, highly stable spherical m‐CMC‐g‐PMAA microcapsules encapsulating GA were formed in all ratios. It was observed that the encapsulation efficiency increased with increase in MAA content. m‐CMC:MAA in a ratio of 33:67 (w/w%) presented the highest encapsulation efficiency which may due to the increase of hydrophilicity of the aqueous phase. It also presented rapid release and non‐cytotoxic characteristics, suited for use in cosmetic products. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…For example as a treatment for diarrhoea, a mixture of Bambara groundnut and water from boiled maize are consumed; to alleviate the nausea associated with pregnancy, Bambara groundnut seeds are chewed and swallowed by pregnant women (DPP, 2011). Other prophylactic and therapeutic use of Bambara groundnut includes use against protein deficiency kwashiorkor, treatment of veneral diseases, treatment of polymenorrhea (roasted BGN seeds are used); treatment for internal bruising, treatment of cataracts (mixture of water and crushed BGN seeds are used (Koné et al, 2011). The objective of this study is to assess the effect of Bambara groundnut consumption on biomarkers of oxidative stress in diabetic induced rats in order to ascertain and document its effectiveness in this regard.…”

This study investigated the effect of consumption of diet supplemented with Bambara-groundnut (BGN) on some biomarkers of oxidative stress in diabetic induced rats. A total of 24 apparently healthy adult albino wistar rats were assembled and divided into 4 groups A-D; group A (Non diabetic rats, fed on normal diet), B (Diabetic rats fed on normal diet), C (Diabetic rats fed on 10% Bambara-groundnut diet), D (Diabetic rats fed on Nitrogen free diet) with each group consisting of 6 rats respectively. After 4 weeks of feeding, rats were sacrificed and blood collected into heparin container and used for laboratory analysis. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPER), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) were assayed for using standard laboratory methods. The result showed that Group C rats had the lowest post-feeding glucose concentration (75 mg/dl). AST, ALT, and ALP were elevated in diabetic induced rats; but, treatment with Bambara-groundnut diet reversed the parameters close to control. The highest levels of SOD and GSHPER were found in group C rats while the group B rats had the highest oxidative stress. It can be concluded that Bambara-groundnut diet modulated and ameliorated the oxidative stress in diabetic rats.
