“…With regard to the iron (Fe) contents, the mean values ranges were observed to range from 25.0 to 1732.2 mg kg -1 (Turan et al 2003, Renna et al 2015, Tunctürk and Özgökçe 2015. In the previous studies, mean contents of Cu vary from 1.8 -46.3 mg kg -1 for edible plants (Turan et al 2003, Indrayan et al 2005, and also zinc levels reported for edible plants were 6.78 -68.65 mg kg -1 (Renna et al 2015, Tunctürk and Özgökçe 2015, Kibar and Temel 2016. The aforementioned elements are considered that they are useful for human health and run in a number of physiological functions in living organisms.…”

Malva sylvestris, Falcaria vulgaris Bernh and Chenopodium botrys L. are of the usually expended wild palatable plants as nourishment and therapeutic purposes by residents in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. In this manner, the assurance of dietary esteem and minerals of eatable wild plants are basic for nourishment security and human health. Hence, in the present examination nutritional esteem and minerals of chose plant species were researched. Additionally, this study presents useful data (mineral constituents, total ash, dry matter, % N, crude protein, pH and crude fiber) to show the knowledge of the nutritional value of three wild plants traditionally consumed in many areas in Eastern Anatolia. According to the results obtained from laboratory analysis, Malva sylvestris is high in crude fiber (44.64%) compared with Falcaria vulgaris Bernh (18.34%) and Chenopodium botrys L. (36.04%). Crude protein content of Falcaria vulgaris and Chenopodium botrys L. were calculated as 21.69% and 12.25%, respectively, while that of Malva sylvestris was 8.57%. In terms of total ash content, it was observed that Chenopodium botrys L. has higher value (20.84%) than the others. The higher values of mineral elements were observed in Chenopodium botrys L. such as sodium (1.24g kg-1), potassium (28.22g kg-1), calcium (46.87g kg-1), phosphor (3.95g kg-1), magnesium (10.61 g kg-1), iron (580.53mg kg-1), manganese (79.54mg kg-1), while the higher values of Sulphur (1.91g kg-1), zinc (43.14mg g-1) and total ash (20.84%) rate were determined in Malva sylvestris species.

“…The K, PO 4 , and SO 4 are the most common ions present in the galls with a concentration of 5,671.21 mg/kg, 1,037.42 mg/kg, and 665.71 mg/kg, respectively. Similarly, K content was found to be highest in the wild edible plants ( Kibar & Temel, 2015 ) , fruit and leaves ( Kumari, Parida, Rangani, & Panda, 2017; Yildirim, Şan, Yildirim, Polat, & Ercişli, 2015 ) , and vegetables ( Oladejo et al., 2019 ) . These results showed superior potential of QIG in terms of K content indicating that QIG could be evaluated as a rich K source.…”

This study was aimed to investigate chemical composition, biological activity, and food protecting ability of Quercus infectoria gall (QIG).The total content of phenolics, flavonoids, and hydrolyzable tannins was evaluated. Ion and fatty acid compositions of QIG were identified by ion chromatography and gas chromatography flow ionization detector (GC‐FID), respectively. Ellagic acid (28,156.85 mg/kg) and catechin (716.21 mg/kg) were predominant. The antioxidant activity of QIG was determined as 2.29, 1.65, 1.52, and 1.98 mmol Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)/g sample for DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and CUPRAC analyses, respectively. QIG extract exhibited dose‐dependent inhibition on α‐glucosidase enzyme with an IC50 value of 0.002 mg/ml. QIG displayed antimicrobial activity against selected reference and isolated mixed strains, most notably on Escherichia coli. The addition of QIG extract as a natural preservative to pasteurized cow’s milk resulted in lower total bacterial count (TBC), total yeast‐mold count (TYMC), and higher pH compared to control milk. Practical applications Quercus infectoria gall does not have a common use in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Exploration of the the biological value of Q. infectoria gall or its extracts could pave the way for the development of added value natural food preservatives and functional compounds. The chemical composition of Q. infectoria gall should be characterized and its biological functionality should be demonstrated beforehand. The results indicated that this plant could be considered as natural antidiabetic, antioxidant, and protective agents instead of synthetic materials and ingredients for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

“…According to our previous researches, there were abundant functional compounds in health vegetables [8]. Besides, health vegetables were important sources of micro-minerals and vitamins [9] [10]. Therefore, these vegetables had enormous potential for health related researches and industries such as drug discover, food nutritional engineering and pharmaceutical industry.…”

BackgroundCentral Myanmar locate in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity hotspot, and Barma people is the main ethnic group which had settled there over thousands years ago. Nevertheless, as the major Myanmar ethnic group, Bamar people were ignored in Ethnobotanical studies. Market surveys are considered a good strategy for the preliminary screening of potential Ethnopharmacological plant resources. In the present study, we focused on the local health knowledge of vegetables of Bamar people in local markets.Materia and methods:In the present study, we surveyed the local markets, then recorded, collected, identified and catalogued the typical vegetables, and document the knowledge of health benefits of the collected vegetables, then analyze the information of vegetables and local knowledge. The observation and interviews were used in field study, and the Ethnobotanical Indexes were used to analyze the local knowledge. We compare the local knowledge we collected with traditional medicine literatures.Results10 Markets and fairs were selected in Mandalay Region, Magway Region, Yangon Region and Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory, and in a total of 277 vegetable stalls or shops were visited. 132 plant taxa were collected and identified. Many of the healthy vegetables were cited as functional food had health benefit by the informants (106 taxa, 80.3%) while others were just regarded as “good for health” (26 taxa, 19.7%). Over half of the taxa were recorded as traditional medicinal plants with health functions in previous studies. The main health function of the vegetables was treating digestion problems.ConclusionThe diversity and use of the health vegetables in central Myanmar were very rich. Some previous Phytochemical and Pharmacological studies on these plants showed that their extracts had effective activities or compounds related to health functions. It should be noted the food safety of the vegetables in future researches.Yu Zhang and Jian-Wen Li contribute equally to the article.
