Phyto-chemicals are increasingly being used in the treatment of cancer because of their availability, potential anti-cancer activity with less adverse effects when compared with chemotherapy. The variation of climate and geography in South Asian countries provides a nursing environment for the growth of versatile plant species, that are repeatedly drawing attention of the scientific community. In this review, we have focused on the anti-cancer potential of thirty plants, which are commonly found in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with their mechanisms of action. In particular, we have discussed the bio-active components that display anti-cancer activity, which have been identified in these plants. This review may help researchers to profile plants with known anti-cancer effect of this region and further investigations of anti-cancer agents in medicinal plants from South Asia.

“…Studies on the components and properties of the lotus seed epicarp are very scarce. To our knowledge, there are only three articles on the topic (Huang et al, 2009;Kredy et al, 2010;Zhou, Gao, Yang, Chen, & Mai, 2011). The antioxidative effects of the flavonoids extracted from the lotus seed epicarp have been reported and this is the first study of the use lotus seed epicarp extract in meat product.…”

“…Until now, the studies on lotus mainly focus at its edible parts, such as the seeds (Rai, Wahile, Mukherjee, Saha, & Mukherjee, 2006), leaves (Deng et al, 2009), stamens (Jung, Kim, Chung, & Choi, 2003) and roots (Wahida, Abderrahman, & Nabil, 2007). In China, thousands of tons of lotus seed epicarp are discarded during the manufacture of lotus seeds (Kredy et al, 2010). Studies on the components and properties of the lotus seed epicarp are very scarce.…”

“…Lotus, an ornamental aquatic plant, is widely grown on riverbanks and cultivated in irrigated fields. Lotus seed has antioxidant, antifebrile, and antibacterial effects due to its alkaloids and flavonoids, and has high protein content (Kim & Shin, ; Kredy et al., ). Due to its high nutritional value and inexpensive cost, lotus seed has been used as an essential food ingredient to overcome malnutrition problems in certain countries (Sridhar & Bhat, ).…”

Effect of lotus seed on viscosity and antioxidant activity of soy‐based porridge

Background and objectives Soy and lotus seeds were added to rice porridge to develop its nutritional value. Three types of porridge were prepared: rice with soy (RS), rice with lotus seed (RL), and rice with soy and lotus seed (RSL). The viscosity, antioxidant properties, and antibacterial effect of the three different types of porridge were compared to those of rice porridge (control). Findings Compared to control (protein: 1.25% and carbohydrate: 90.5%), RS had higher protein (2.55%) and lower carbohydrate (84.3%) content without any change in the calorie content. The addition of soy decreased the viscosity of rice porridge from 3,861 cP in the control to 751 cP in RS. However, the addition of lotus seed increased the viscosity of rice porridge to 2,788 cP in RL. DPPH value was increased from 9.2% in the control to 18.9% in RS, 59.4% in RL, and 64.4% in RSL. Microbiological index value was decreased from 12,363 CFU/g in the control to 440 CFU/g in RS, while RL and RSL were below the limit of detection. Panelists evaluated the similar tendency of beany, grass, and nutty taste between rice and soy porridges (p > 0.05) as well as the thickness of RSL (4.1) also had a similar score to that of control (5.0; p > 0.05). Conclusions Lotus seed could help improve the viscosity properties and antioxidant capacities of soy‐based porridge. Particularly, soy and lotus seed synergistically improved DPPH radical scavenging capacity of porridge. Significance and novelty Minimal research has thus far been carried out on porridge with the addition of lotus seed. To develop a protein‐enhanced porridge, around 30% of rice was replaced with soy. The addition of lotus seed increased the viscosity of soy porridge as well as its antioxidant capacity and antibacterial effects.
