“…Since the content of this phenolic compound determined in A. pavonina is rather higher in comparison with the amounts present in other plant foods such as fruits and vegetables (Wood et al, 2011), it is possible to suppose that regular consumption of the seeds can contribute to their previously described anti-inflammatory action and supports their uses in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation (Lim, 2012). Content figures for other the phenolic compounds analysed are significantly lower, not exceeding 80 µg/100 g. Our results describing the presence of flavonoid compounds in A. pavonina are in correspondence with the findings of Yadava and Vishwakarma (2013), who identified several flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides in seeds of this species form India. However, the presence of all the above-described phenolic compounds in this plant is reported for the first time in this paper.…”

“…Several classes of biologically active secondary metabolites (e.g. flavonoids) have also been identified (Yadava and Vishwakarma, 2013). It has recently been shown that the processing of A. pavonina significantly affects the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of seeds, and their milk extract contains higher amounts of certain minerals and vitamins compared to that from soybeans (Nwafor et al, 2017;Afolabi et al, 2018).…”

Recently, Samoans have faced to alarming increase in the prevalence of obesity related diseases, which are connected to the consumption of imported calorie-rich and nutrient-poor food products. It is believed that the re-introduction of native diet may mitigate these negative trends. In Samoa, the seeds of Adenanthera pavonina, an underutilized leguminous tree, are popularly eaten when roasted. Although the seeds are also used in traditional medicine to treat inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, information on their nutrients and any compounds potentially reducing risks of related health disorders is very limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyse the nutrients and compounds potentially reducing risks of overweight- and obesity-related health problems in raw and roasted A. pavonina seeds from Samoa. The standard analytical and microbiological methods, namely gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and Czech technical standard methods, were used for the determination of fatty acids, minerals, tocopherols, phenolic compounds, and B vitamins, respectively. The analyses showed that the lignoceric (17.59% and 18.24%), linoleic (39.80% and 37.88%), and oleic acids (14.67% and 14.75%) were the most abundant in the oil of raw and roasted seeds, with the unsaturated forms present in higher amounts than saturated. The seeds were found to be rich of vitamin E (33.09 and 15.94 mg/100 g), whereas the contents of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 were rather low. Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur were the minerals found in the highest concentrations. Salicylic acid (201.01 and 151.95 µg/100 g) has been detected in higher amounts than other phenolic compounds. In summary, the findings of this study indicate that the both raw and roasted seeds of A. pavonina are good sources of various health-beneficial nutrients, including those reducing the negative effects of obesity.

“…The presence of flavonoids in leaves, seeds, and barks of A. pavonina has been implicated in some biological effects of this herb (Zeid et al, 2012;Adedapo et al, 2014;Mujahid et al, 2015). Three flavonoid compounds were elucidated from the methanolic extract of the seeds of this plant: 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxy flavone-3'-O-a-Lrhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-a-L-arabinopyranosyl-1→3)-O-b-D-xylopyranoside (A) along with two known compounds 2,4,7-trihydroxyisoflavone (B) and isovitexin (C) (Appendix A1) (Yadava and Vishwakarma, 2013).…”

Adenanthera pavonina, an Asian native leguminous, is a well known highly used plant in traditional medicine. Such broad herbal medicine applications motivated several researchers to study its chemical composition, mainly of its leaves, seeds, and barks, besides the pharmacological effects aiming to demonstrate scientific evidence of its empirical uses. Most studies have been conducted with plant derivatives, and more recent studies have focused on isolated compounds. The phytochemical screening revealed various secondary metabolites with diverse biological effects, including flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, steroids, triterpenoids, polyphenols, anthraquinones, coumarins, glycosides and polysaccharides. Experimental studies of this plant have shown numerous pharmacological activities such as antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and others. Advances in the studies of phytochemistry and biological activity on this plant species over the last years led to the increasing interest of researchers in the protection of inventions focusing on its cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food applicability. This review summarizes the tremendous therapeutic and technological potential of A. pavonina that should be explored, opening new perspectives for future researches and the development of new products.

In more recent times, researchers have turned their attention to link prediction and the role link inference can play in better understanding the evolutionary nature of social networking sites. The objective of this paper is to present an in-depth review, analysis, and discussion of the cutting-edge link prediction methods that can be applied to better understand the development of social networks. The findings of the literature review reveal that there has been a steady increase in the number of published articles that present novel link prediction models that are designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of link prediction. In this paper, this most recent techniques to be proposed in this regard are compared and categorized, and features and evaluation metrics are presented for each approach. The results of the evaluation reveal that there are no complete or definitive methods available that can accurately and reliably be applied within different dynamic social networks to predict missing, emerging, and broken links within the network. The paper concludes by presenting potential future directions and recommendations for further studies
