“…The protein content ranged from 7–13 % and the value obtained in this study was almost similar to the values of some underutilized green leafy vegetables reported by Gupta et al. (2005) and also to some edible invasive species of West Bengal, India reported by Datta et al. (2018).…”

“…The protein content ranged from 7e13 % and the value obtained in this study was almost similar to the values of some underutilized green leafy vegetables reported by Gupta et al (2005) and also to some edible invasive species of West Bengal, India reported by Datta et al (2018). Foods which provide more than 12 % of their calorific value from proteins have been shown to be good source of proteins (Ali, 2009).…”

“…Similar calorific value has been obtained on studies of wild edibles of Bangladesh (Abdus Satter et al., 2016) and NE India (Seal and Chaudhuri, 2016; Seal et al., 2017b). The calorific values of these wild edibles are higher than some edible invasive species which ranged between 70–124 kcal/100 g (Datta et al., 2018). The plants with a high calorific value can be considered as a good diet.…”

The present study aimed to investigate the nutritional properties and antioxidant activities of six underutilized wild edible plants viz . Ipomoea aquatica, Achyranthes aspera, Aasystasia ganjetica , Enhydra fluctuans, Oldenlandia corymbosa and Amaranthus viridis that are commonly consumed as food in the India The antioxidant properties of the plants were evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging ability, reducing power capacity, metal chelating activity, lipid peroxidation assay, estimation of total phenolic content and flavonoids content in different solvent extraction system like benzene, chloroform, methanol and 70% aqueous (aq.) ethanol. The quantitation of phenolic acids and flavonoids and water soluble vitamins in these plants were carried out by HPLC using Acclaim C 18 column (5 μm particle size, 250 × 4.6 mm), Dionex Ultimate 3000 liquid chromatograph and detection was carried out in photo diode array (PDA) detector. The results of investigation showed that these plants are rich sources of protein, carbohydrate minerals and vitamins, especially the B group of vitamins that can contribute immensely to nutrition, food security, and health and therapeutic benefits. The different levels of antioxidant activities were found in the solvent systems used. The HPLC analysis also showed the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids in various amounts in these plants which could be utilized as natural antioxidant.

“…Aunque en este estudio no se encontró diferencia en la cantidad de lípidos entre las plantas E1 y E2 (P>0.05), se ha reportado que la variación en el contenido de lípidos puede depender de la especie y de las condiciones ambientales en las que se encuentre la planta (30,34) . Así mismo, el contenido de proteína de las plantas E1 y E2 fue similar a lo encontrado en plantas de hortalizas de hoja verde (35) , y se ha reportado que la cantidad de proteína en las plantas puede depender del estado fisiológico, edad, condiciones ambientales y nutrientes presentes en el suelo (36) . Por otro lado, el contenido de P, Na y K fue mayor en la planta E1 con respecto a la planta E2 (P<0.05), mientras que, el contenido de Mg fue mayor en la planta E2 (P<0.05) y no se encontraron diferencias en el contenido de Ca entre ambas plantas (P>0.05) (Cuadro 2).…”

El uso de compuestos químicos sintéticos para conservar alimentos o tratar enfermedades de origen bacteriano está limitado debido a que pueden ocasionar daños en la salud. Por ello, las industrias alimentaria y pecuaria buscan estrategias naturales para conservar alimentos y mantener la salud de los animales destinados a consumo humano. En este sentido, algunos extractos de plantas provenientes de Sonora, México podrían ser una alternativa debido a la gran diversidad de plantas y que algunas de ellas se utilizan tradicionalmente para tratar enfermedades. Por otro lado, son pocos los estudios que sustentan la actividad biológica de los extractos etanólicos de Gnaphalium oxyphyllum (E1) y Euphorbia maculata (E2). En este estudio, el contenido de fitoquímicos se determinó por espectrofotometría, la actividad antimicrobiana se determinó por difusión en agar y la actividad antioxidante se evaluó por ABTS, DPPH y FRAP. Los resultados mostraron que los extractos E1 y E2 presentaron fenoles totales, flavonoides totales, flavonas y flavonoles, flavanonas y dihidroflavonoles totales, así como, taninos totales, ácido clorogénico total y polisacáridos totales. Además, ambos extractos mostraron mayor actividad antimicrobiana contra Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 y Salmonella entérica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 14028 cuando se utilizó 1 mg ml-1 (P<0.05). Además, presentaron actividad antioxidante por los métodos de ABTS, DPPH y FRAP. Por lo anterior, el potencial antimicrobiano y antioxidante de estas plantas representa una alternativa natural para controlar algunas bacterias Gram positivas y Gram negativas en la industria pecuaria, así como para la conservación de alimentos.
