“…The results of the acidity content and pH of cranberry varieties tested were comparable with those of Oszmiański et al [21], Úwieczkowska et al [22] and Shin et al [23]. Pectin is one form of soluble fiber responsible for the prevention of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease [24,25]. The average pectin value in cranberry fruits of the tested cultivars ranged from 0.7 to 0.8% for cvs.…”

“…The fractions of fibers, based on their solubility, is classified into insoluble (IDF) and soluble (SDF) dietary fibers (Mudgil and Barak, 2013). IDF with high water retention capacity (WRC) and water swelling capacity (WSC) and SDF with high viscosity attribute have many health benefits (Liu et al, 2016;Macagnan et al, 2016;Sauracalixto, 2011;Tungland and Meyer, 2002;Shiyi et al, 2001).…”

Dietary fiber are non-digestible constituents of plant cell walls, and comprise a necessary component of diet and its positive connection with human health. Till now, there is no report about the extraction and physicochemical and functional properties of dietary fiber from bamboo shoots. To find the potential applications of dietary fiber from bamboo shoots in food and health products, the effects of chemical, enzymatic methods and particle size distribution on the chemical and structural composition, physicochemical, and functional properties of dietary fibers (DFs) from bamboo shoots were studied. The results showed that BSEDF and BSCDF had higher total DF and higher soluble DF, respectively. The crystalline regions calculated to be higher in latter and both had irregular surfaces and diverse monosaccharide composition. Both fibers showed good functional properties [water retention capacity (WRC) (11.24-15.13g/g), water swelling capacity (WSC) (18.84-28.75 mL/g), oil holding capacity (OAC) (6.71-10.15 g/g), glucose adsorption capacity (GAC) (0.08-6.89 mmol/g) and glucose retardation index (GRI) (3.57-40.92%)]. WRC of BSCDF and BSEDF decreased with the increase in the mesh size (40-200) while, WSC and OAC increased with mesh sizes (40 to 120), followed by decrease above mesh120. Both particle size and extraction methods significantly affected GRI. In conclusion, physico-chemical properties of fibers can be manipulated through treatments (chemical and enzymatic) to improve their overall functionality. Therefore, both BSCDF and BSEDF can find potential applications in food and health products as a functional ingredient in different aspects.

“…Stems of Argyreia involucrata, A. nervosa and Ipomoea mauritiana did not show the presence of any phytochemicals. Plant dietary fibres such as celluloses, hemicelluloses, non-digestible oligosaccharides protect human health from bowel disorders and decrease the risk of coronary heart diseases [16]. Thus carbohydrates present in the taxa under study shows that they can be used as dietary supplements as well as to prevent coronary heart diseases.…”

Objective: To screen phytochemicals from stems and leaves of 23 selected taxa of Convolvulaceae. Methods:Results: Phytochemicals were present in all selected taxa of Convolvulaceae. Leaves showed most of the phytochemicals than stems. The important phytochemicals in leaves were flavonoids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, saponins, tannins and phenolic compounds while those in stems were carbohydrates, saponins and phenolic compounds. Proteins and fixed oils were absent in the taxa studied.Stem and leaves of the selected 23 taxa were collected and shade dried. The methanol extract was used for preliminary screening of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, saponins, proteins, phytosterols, terpenoids, fixed oils, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins. Conclusion:Phytochemical screening in the present study, revealed that maximum phytochemicals were present in leaves than in stems.
