“…Methanolic extract of this weed inhibited fungal growth of Fusarium sp., Aspergillus sp., and Alternaria sp. [6]. Recently, Yusnawan [10] reported that methanolic root extract of spiny amaranth collected from East Java, Indonesia inhibited more than 50% of spore germination of Puccinia arachidis, the causal agent of peanut rust disease.…”

“…The extract also poses antibacterial properties to both strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, along with the yeasts and dermatophytes. The weed especially flower extract contains secondary metabolites including flavonoids, coumarins, terpenoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, and iridoids [6,9].…”

The effectiveness of methanolic and n-hexane crude extracts of Amaranthus spinosus to inhibit the spore germination of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, a causal agent of soybean rust disease was studied. Both methanolic and n-hexane crude extracts inhibited spore germination at concentrations of 0.1% to 5.0%. Methanolic extract of the roots at a concentration of 2.5% inhibited 55% of spore germination, and this result was similar when higher concentration at 5% of methanolic and n-hexane extracts of the flowers was used. The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids in the extract may be responsible for the inhibition. The extract was potential to be utilized as a botanical fungicide.

Nutritional Value of Amaranth

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Amaranthus is a dicotyledonous pseudocereal and one of the New World's oldest crops, having originated in Mesoamerica, and was a major food crop of the Aztecs who named it Huautli or Xtes. Popularity in the cultivation and consumption of Amaranthus seed in the modern era began in the mid-1970s with the rediscovery and promotion of amaranth due to its superior nutritional attributes as compared to cereal grains. Today, amaranth is still included in the human diet because of its nutraceutical relevance. Amaranth is considered as a "superfood" because it contains high nutraceutical values such as a high-quality protein, unsaturated oils, squalene, dietary fiber, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. Compared to other grains, amaranth has a higher amount of protein, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, and magnesium; therefore although it is an ancient crop nowadays, it is considered a millennium crop or superfood with relevant nutraceutical values and its agronomic versatility. This comprehensive chapter is focused on amaranth composition and antioxidant properties and provides several potential medical benefits of its valuable components.

A wide range of industries, including security, healthcare, and industrial settings, currently employ wireless sensor networks (WSNs). With a limited power supply, bandwidth, and energy consumption, WSNs are unique. While traditional networks can be protected in many ways, WSNs cannot be protected in the same way. In order to enhance the service safety of wireless sensor networks, new concepts as well as methodologies were needed. In WSNs, intrusion prevention is the most important issue. For WSN Intrusion Detection (IDS), this research used Dense Artificial Neural Networks (DANN) to develop a DL technique (DeepANN). Compared to the previous models, the proposed Analytical model achieved a 95 percent accuracy rate. The ANN model outperforms the other ML models, with F1 scores of 99, 98, and 96.
