“…A quantity of 3 g of in vitro produced shoots in each treatment (control and TDZ treatments) was used for the extraction of volatile products by crushing with hexane (20 ml) for 2.5 h. The obtained solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate (0.2 g per each sample) and then concentrated to 1 ml (Afify et al 2011).…”

Lallemantia iberica (Lamiaceae) has pharmaceutical and nutritional importance owing to production of oily seeds and synthesis of commercially secondary metabolites. In the present study, total phenol and flavonoids content and quantitative changes in the shoot and callus pigments of L. iberica were investigated. Moreover, some growth parameters and volatile content of in vitro grown shoots were analyzed. Nodal segments and epicotyldons were used as the explants for shoot and callus formation, respectively. In the multiplication stage of shoot culture, MS medium supplemented with six concentrations of TDZ was employed. For callus induction, 1 mg/l of TDZ, NAA and a combination of NAA and BA were used. Extracted volatile products were analyzed by GC-mass spectrometry. According to the results, the concentration range of TDZ from 0.22 to 0.66 mg/l improved the flavonoids production and the highest content was reported to be in 2 mg/l TDZ (157.5 ± 25.9 mg QE/ g); also, the highest amount of total phenol (3.86 ± 1.02 mg PYRO/g) was observed in 0.66 mg/l TDZ. For induced calli, among the three tested types of PGRs, TDZ treatment was efficient for total phenol and flavonoids. In general, the higher content of flavonoids was obtained from L. iberica shoots while the callus of this plant was efficient for total phenol production. 55 components were identified using GC-MS analysis indicating a low amount of mono and sesquiterpenes and high quantity of alkan hydrocarbons.

“…Herbal medicine is still the mainstay of about 65-80% of the whole population, mainly in developing countries, for primary health care because of better cultural acceptability, better compatibility with the human body and fewer side effects. Leaves, flowers, stems, roots, seeds, fruit and bark can all be constituents of herbal medicines (Afify et al, 2011a(Afify et al, , 2011b(Afify et al, , 2012aAli et al, 2011). The medicinal values of these plants lie in their phytochemical components which produce definite physiological actions on the human body (Afify and El-Beltagi, 2011).…”

The widespread use of medicinal plants for health purposes has increased dramatically due to their great importance to the public health. In this study levels of phenolic, flavonoid contents of Ginkgo biloba and Rosmarinus officinalis from Egypt were determined. HPLC was used to identify and quantify the phenolic compounds in selected plants. The plant extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant activities using various antioxidant methodologies, (i) scavenging of free radicals using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, (ii) metal ion chelating capacity, and (iii) scavenging of superoxide anion radical. The antimicrobial activity of both plant's extracts were evaluated against a panel of microorganisms by using agar disc diffusion method. The total phenolic content (75.30 and 98.31 mg/g dry weight in G. biloba and R. officinalis, respectively) was significantly (p<0.05) different. Among the identified phenolic compounds, quercetin, kaempferol and caffeic acid were the predominant phenolic compounds in Ginkgo biloba, whereas carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid, narinigen and hispidulin were the predominant phenolic compound in Rosmarinus officinalis leaves. The antioxidant activity increased with the concentration increase. The R. officinalis was more active than G. biloba extract against Gram-negative bacteria. This study reveals that the consumption of these plants would exert several beneficial effects by virtue of their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

“…Sorghum oil was significantly decreased after fermentation which improves the bioavailability of iron and zinc during soaking and germination of three white sorghum varieties (Afify et al, 2011a;Alemu, 2009). On the same time fennel were germinated on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) without plant growth regulators reduce the amount of estragole (not favorite for Human consumption) and increase the amount of trans-anethole (Afify et al, 2011c).…”

The changes in lipid and fatty acid contents after soaking, cooking, germination and fermentation of three white sorghum varieties were studied to improve cereal quality. The results revealed that oil in raw sorghum varieties ranged from 3.58 to 3.91%, respectively and 'Dorado' represents the highest variety in oil content. As general trend after germination, oil content was decreased. Fatty acid contents of raw sorghum contains palmitic (12.10 to 13.41%), palmitoleic (0.47 to 1.31%), stearic (1.13 to 1.36%), oleic (33.64 to 40.35%), linoleic (42.33 to 49.94%), linolenic (1.53 to 1.72%), arachidic (0.10 to 0.18%) and eicosenoic acid (0.24 to 0.39% of total lipid). 'Dorado' was the highest variety in oleic acid while 'Shandaweel-6' was the highest variety in palmitic, stearic, linolenic, arachidic, eicosenoic acid and total saturated fatty acids. 'Giza-15' was the highest variety in palmitoleic, linoleic, total unsaturated fatty acids and ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids. Fatty acids relative percentage changed after soaking, cooking, germination and fermentation.
