“…Pigeonpea cultivars were observed with good quality resistant starch (Narina et al, 2012), protein rich in sulfur containing amino acids (Singh & Eggum, 1984;Pathak, 1993), cajanol (Luo et al, 2010), several minerals and with quality forage (Cantrell et al, 2001) with medicinal (Pal et al, 2011) and antimicrobial properties for healthy ruminant nutrition (Mahala et al, 2012) globally and in USA (Sloan, 2012). Pigeonpea seed has 36.5% protein (Pathak et al, 1993) with excellent water retention (250.3 ml/100g), fat absorption (130 ml/100g), emulsification (120%) and foaming (130%) capacities (Eltayeb et al, 2012).…”

Tepary bean and pigeonpea were highly drought tolerant food legumes and were profitable in arid regions with sustainable productivity. Protein and starch, major constituents of legume grain, were used in various forms for human and animal consumption. Therefore, present investigation was carried out with an objective to evaluate protein content and various factors influencing qualities of starch in pigeonpea and tepary bean. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed for protein and starch qualities among the two crops and between the drought responsive cultivars of these crops. The protein content of pigeon pea (22.5-26.2 mg/100 mg) was high compared to tepary bean (17 to 26 mg/100 mg) seed. The resistant starch content of pure starch extracted from drought responsive cultivars varied from 1.09 (TB #7) to 8.75 (TB #31) in teparybean and 14.68% (G2) -21.35 % (W1) in pigeonpea. Amylose content of pigeonpea varied from 7.76 to 12.31% and the degree of crystallinity were 13.42 -19.30% with X-ray diffraction pattern of the C-type. The pigeonpea starch granules were large, oval to ellipsoidal shape with a smooth surface and mean granule size of 47.6 µm in length X 36.4 µm in width. The transition temperatures and enthalpy of gelatinization ranged from 67.25-68. ) on an average. In both crops, the gelatinization showed significant correlation with amylose content, crystallinity and granule size. Pigeonpea grain was superior with quality starch and protein with adequate amounts of digestible fiber without any reduction in quality during extraction of starch compared to tepary bean. Black seed coated tepary had lowest gelatinization energy compared to brown and white. The drought tolerant cultivars identified in teparybean (TB #24) and Pigeonpea (W1) with high resistant starch and protein content will be useful in selection for crop production, developing homozygous line for industrial use in southern USA.

“…Although traditional uses of C. cajan plant for treatment of different diseases (Pal et al, 2011;Wu et al, 2009), there has been less concern regarding phytochemical composition and biological activities of C. cajan seeds, which prompted us to study its chemical composition and anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities which may act as an important step towards the establishment of C. cajan as a medicinal drug.…”

Context: Cajanus cajan L. (Fabaceae), a food crop, is widely used in traditional medicine. Objectives: The phytochemical composition of C. cajan seeds and evaluation of the antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, antinociceptive, and antioxidant activities were studied. Materials and methods: Unsaponifiable matter and fatty acids were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The n-butanol fraction was chromatographed on polyamide column. The anti-inflammatory activity of hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) was evaluated using the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema at 1, 2, and 3 h. The serum tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin-6, and immunoglobulin G levels were detected by ELISA. The hexane extract antinociceptive activity was determined by adopting the writhing test in mice. DPPH radical scavenging, total reduction capability, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation of butanol fraction were evaluated. Results and conclusion: Twenty-one unsaponifiable compounds (mainly phytol, 2,6-di-(t-butyl)-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one, b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol), as well as 12 fatty acids (primarily 9,12-octadecadienoic and palmitic acids) were identified in hexane extract of C. cajan seeds. n-BuOH fraction contains quercetin-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside, orientin, vitexin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin, and isorhamnetin. For the first time, quercetin-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside is isolated from C. cajan plant. The hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) inhibited carrageenaninduced inflammation by 85 and 95%, respectively, 3 h post-carrageenan challenge. This was accompanied by an 11 and 20%, 8 and 13%, respectively, decrease of TNF-a and IL-6, as well as significant decrease in IgG serum levels. Moreover, hexane extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) decreased the number of writhings by 61 and 83%, respectively. The butanol fraction showed DPPH radical scavenging (inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) value: 9.07 mg/ml). ARTICLE HISTORY

:The focus was on a study of babalian in healing oral hygiene problem.Ethnography research with semi-structured depth interview was done for two shamans (balian) who live in Paramasan Bawah village. The interview was done to investigate the factors of having the disease, the history of medicinal plants, the way of healing the disease by processing the plants, and how to get the knowledge hereditarily. Medicinal plant specimens were collected, identified and kept at Plant Conservation Center which located in Botanical Garden (LIPI). The collecting and the analyzing data were done based on developmental research sequences by James Spradley. Babalian ethno medicine is belonging to the people's personalize belief while the ethno medicine therapy for dental and oral health problem consists of basambur ritual and herb (pelungsur). It was found that 8 out of 13 species families of pelungsur commonly used for treating dental and oral health problem. Basambur ritual refers to the local wisdom which comes from their philosophy and belief system of their tribes. It also can be related to the belief system induction in predicting positive perception toward thinking system. The last step of basambur could become the positive biology response either. Meanwhile, herb (pelungsur) was used as traditional medicine and the effect was able to be increased through basambur ritual.
