“…Fruits and vegetables normally can provide about 90% of a person's dietary vitamin C requirement. The average vitamin C requirement for an adult human being is about 50 mg per day [7,37]. Vitamin C is needed during various growth stages of human life and being a powerful reducing agent, it plays an important role in absorbing and neutralizing free radicals and thus protects the body from harmful effects [7,38].…”

“…The IC 50 value of DPPH assay was found to be higher than that of ABTS assay and ABTS assay showed more antioxidant capacities. Similarly, Khomdram et al [7] reported the DPPH assay IC 50 value of some wild endemic fruits of the Manipur region of India that ranged from 181.21 ± 2.0 μg/mL to 2717.46 ± 363.6 μg/mL. The ABTS assay is known to be a rapid method for the investigation of antioxidant property and employed to screen samples in order to know high content of natural antioxidants in foods [26].…”

“…In recent years, a growing interest has emerged among researchers throughout the world to assess various wild edible fruits and plants for their nutritional and other features for the well-being of human society [3,4]. It has been considered that wild and cultivated fruits are rich sources of various vitamins, minerals, fibres and polyphenols which could provide several health benefits and consumption of fruits and green leafy vegetables reduces the risk of several diseases like diabetes, cancer, coronary heart disease, neurodegenerative ailment and aging as well [5][6][7].…”

Aim: The aim of present study was to investigate the nutritional composition, phytochemical constituents and in vitro antioxidant activities of a wild edible fruit in order to document data for further basic research needs or to widen its use among common people. Methods: The fresh fruits of Grewia sapida Roxb. ex DC. were collected from the Chirang district of Bodoland Territorial Area Districts of Assam, identified and freeze dried. Proximate composition, minerals content and phytochemical constituents were analyzed following standard and reported methods. The antioxidant activities of methanol extract were evaluated by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2'-Azinobis (3-ethylbenothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) assays. Results: The results obtained were reported and discussed. The phytochemical screening of different solvent extracts revealed that fruits contained a number of medicinally active secondary metabolites. The study showed antioxidant properties having IC 50 value of 257.666 ± 2.516 μg/mL (DPPH) and 134.33 ± 4.041 μg/mL (ABTS). The total phenolic and flavonoid contents in G. sapida fruit were found to be 294.353 ± 4.696 mg GAE/g dried extract and 116.95 ± 10.71 mg QE/g dried extract respectively. Conclusion: The study suggests that G. sapida fruit could be a good source of minerals and natural antioxidants, and studied further for its beneficial effect in human health.

“…It is a kind of tree that can grow in tropical floodplain forest (Brahma et al, 2013;Rahman & Vacik, 2015) and a member of Elaeocarpaceae. The fruit and the leaf of this plant are rich in vitamin and antioxidant which are useful for treatments of various diseases (Khomdram et al, 2014;Rahman & Vacik, 2015). Sitakunda people in India use this plant as medicine, fodder, and firewood (Rahman & Vacik, 2015).…”

Confirmation of Tuntun Angin (Elaeocarpus floribundus) Taxonomic Status Using matK and ITS Sequences

2016

Tuntun angin is one of important floodplain plants in and around Kajuik Lake located in Riau Province, Indonesia. Morphological identification shows that the scientific name of this plant is Elaeocarpus floribundus. The study aimed to confirm the taxonomic status of tuntun angin using matK and nuclear intergenic spacer (ITS) sequences. The methods included fresh leaf DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, electrophoresis, sequencing, and data analysis using BLASTn program and MEGA software version 6.06 programs. The results showed that the matK sequence (519 bp) of tuntun angin had highest similarity to E. floribundus matK sequence that was available in GenBank. It was supported by the high max score (937), low E-value (0.0), high identity value (100%), and high query cover (100%). However, the ITS sequence of tuntun angin did not show similarity to E. floribundus ITS sequence because there was no database of the sequence in GenBank. This study was able to confirm the taxonomic status of tuntun angin as E. floribundus using matK sequence and also showed that morphological and molecular identification techniques were complementary to each other. Moreover, this study enriched the DNA sequence database of E. floribundus in GenBank which will be useful for this species’ molecular identification.How to CiteRoslim, D.
