“…These results were approximately in agreement with those obtained by kale et al, 2018 [20] with some differences due to the variety of the genotypes. The percentage of fiber content in eggplant was higher than that in beetroot in value of 3.90 and 0.53, respectively, these results were similar to those obtained by San José et al, 2016 [21]. Minerals composition of beetroot were analyzed and results revealed 1.41, 16.32 and 0.82mg/100g for iron, calcium and magnesium respectively.…”

In this study beetroot and eggplant were used as natural source for production of anti-anemic functional food for anemic patients and to prevent it during disease or chemotherapy treatment. Anemic model was induced in albino female rats by daily injection with phenylhydrazin (5mg/kg b.w) for three successive days, then biochemical, hematological and histological parameters were determined including; iron, ferritin, Ascorbic acid, Hepicidin, Hemoglobin and Complete blood count (men corpuscle volume, men corpuscle hemoglobin, haematocriet, red blood cells and white blood cells). Negative control group of normal rats, and positive control group of anemic rats each of six rats were fed on basal diet. Also 24 anemic rats were divided into 4 groups each of 6 rats which were fed on basal diet containing either eggplant or beetroot in ratios of 100, 300g/kg, in addition to 500mg ascorbic acid and 2mg folic acid/ kg diet for all groups for 30 days. feeding period was 30 days. At the end of experiment the above biochemical and haematological parameters were evaluated and the liver and spleen were histopathological examined. Decreases in hemoglobin, men corpuscle volume, haematocriet, red blood cells, men corpuscle hemoglobin, iron, ascorbic acid and ferritin, also increases in white blood cells and hepcidin were observed in anemic model rats. At the end of feeding period with the previous supplemented tested basal diet, increases in all aforementioned parameters, except white blood cells and hepcidin which showed decreases compared to anemic positive group were found.

“…Of all the species, Solanum aethiopicum is commonly cultivated in Nigeria for its delicious, nutritional and medicinal properties. There are reports on the proximate composition of S. aethiopicum (Eletta, Orimolade, Oluwaniyi, & Dosumu, 2017;Plazas et al, 2014;San José, Plazas, Cortes Sanchez-Mata, Camara, & Prohens, 2016). In addition, various biological activities of eggplant fruits have been reported, these include; anti-inflammatory and antitumor (Bhutani, Paul, Fayad, & Linder, 2010); hepatoprotective (Gupta et al, 2011); nephroprotective (Hussain et al, 2012); antidiabetic (Kar, Maharana, Pattnaik, & Dash, 2006).…”

Solanum aethiopicum is commonly cultivated in Nigeria for its nutritional and medicinal properties. Although, information on the possible effect of location on the biological activities of S. aethiopicum has not been reported, however, present research work investigated the phenolic contents and distribution, antioxidative properties, and enzyme inhibitory activities of S. aethiopicum collected from two locations in Nigeria. HPLC phenolic profile, polyphenol contents, free radical scavenging activities, and inhibitory effect of eggplant extracts on carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes were carried out. Significant variations were observed in the phenolic profile, polyphenol contents, antioxidant activities, and enzymes inhibitory properties of the extracts from different locations. In most of the analyses carried out, extract of eggplant fruit collected from Uyo (UEF) showed higher activities than the one obtained from Ibadan (IEF). Thus, findings from this study revealed that geographical location may influence the phenolic contents, antioxidant, and enzymes inhibitory properties of eggplant fruits. Practical applications The geographical location of a particular place determines the nature and biological activities of plants cultivated in the area. Hence, we presented the effect of location on the phenolic profile, antioxidant, and enzyme inhibitory properties of eggplant fruit (S. aethiopicum) cultivated in two different locations in Nigeria. However, data generated in this study showed the effect of location on phenolic composition and biological activities of eggplant fruit cultivated in Nigeria.

“…Similarly, within the Shum group's accessions, the fruits are very small compared to the Gilo and the Kumba. The Shum group has the bitterest fruits and the seed content is associated with this bitter (San José et al, 2016). This is also due to the fact that the mucilage surrounding the seeds contains high level of saponins and alkaliods (Chinedu et al 2011;Ayodele, 2018).…”

The scarlet eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum L.) is an African traditional vegetable grown for its edibles leaves and fruits, which can contribute to food security in Republic of Benin. However, very little information is available on the genetic variability of this vegetable for varietal improvement purposes. Sixty accessions of scarlet eggplants collected throughout 52 villages in Benin republic were characterized using 34 (10 qualitative and 24 quantitative) variables. The experiment was laid out using complete randomized block design with three replications on the experimental site of Massi. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analysis revealed 18 discriminating quantitative variables. A strong correlation was observed between plant height, number of fruits per plant, fruit diameter, fruit weight and number of seeds per fruit. A cluster phenogram divided the 60 accessions into three groups corresponding to Kumba (Cluster 1), Gilo (Cluster 2), and Shum groups (Cluster 3). These groups differed by the number of seeds per fruit, weight of fruits, diameter of fruits, number of fruits per plant, plants height at flowering stage, plants length, and plant width. Accessions Samibi, Ikangougou, Kannan and Yètchanmiyé with the highest fruit weight per plant can be used as parents in the framework of a scarlet eggplant breeding program in Republic of Benin.
