“…Literature is replete with information regarding the essentiality of fibre in food substances (Unuofin et al, 2017b;Adegbaju et al, 2019;Idris et al, 2019;Abifarin et al, 2021). Our findings revealed that ginger grown in Imo state, Nigeria had the highest crude fibre content (10.36 ± 0.67%) when compared with other geographical locations studied as shown in Table 1.…”

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the most widely used natural products consumed as a spice and medicine for treating diabetes, flatulent intestinal colic, indigestion, infertility, inflammation, insomnia, a memory booster, nausea, rheumatism, stomach ache, and urinary tract infections. To date, over 400 bioactive components, such as diarylheptanoids, gingerol analogues, phenylalkanoids, sulfonates, monoterpenoid glycosides, steroids, and terpene compounds have been derived from ginger. Increasing evidence has revealed that ginger possesses a broad range of biological activities, especially protective effects against male infertility, nausea and vomiting, analgesic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and other effects. The pharmacological activities of ginger were mainly attributed to its active phytoconstituents such as 6-gingerol, gingerdiol, gingerol, gingerdione, paradols, shogaols, sesquiterpenes, zingerone, besides other phenolics and flavonoids. In recent years, in silico molecular docking studies revealed that gingerol (6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, and 10-gingerol) and Shogaol (6-shogaol, 8-shogaol, 10-shogaol) had the best binding affinities to the receptor protein in disease conditions such as diabetes, inflammation, obesity, and SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, some clinical trials have indicated that ginger can be consumed for alleviation of nausea and vomiting induced by surgery, pain, diabetes, obesity, inflammation, male infertility. This review provides an updated understanding of the scientific evidence on the development of ginger and its active compounds as health beneficial agents in future clinical trials.

“…The obtained value of crude fibre content value (2.33%) was low compared to the values reported for Myrianthus arboreus leaves (13.15%) byAtabo et al, (2017). This likely suggests that the leaves may aid digestion as some fiber has been reported to help prevent constipation, gastrointestinal upset, hermorrhoids, diabetes and breast cancer(Ishida et al, 2000;Abifarin et al, 2021).…”

The Nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of tender leaves of Daniellia oliveri were analyzed in this study. The results of the proximate analysis were as follows, moisture content (78.67Â±2.31%), ash (4.67Â±0.29%), crude lipid (2.67Â±0.29%), crude protein (7.23Â±0.13%), crude fibre (2.33Â±0.29%), available carbohydrate (4.43Â±2.59%) and the energy value (70.67Â±12.45 kJ/kg). In elemental analysis, potassium has the highest concentration (3766.67Â±57.74 mg/100g), zinc (0.1502Â±0.00020 mg/100 g) is the lowest and lead (0.2352Â±0.00015 mg/100g). The anti-nutritional parameters analyzed includes; phytate (6.7592 mg/100g), oxalate (0.0023mg/100g), saponin (1.20mg/100g), tannin (430.80mg/100 g), hydrocyanic acid (122.73 mg/100g). The anti-nutrients to nutrients ratio show the bioavailability of some essential minerals, with the exception of [cyanides] and [tannin] in the tender leaves. These reach significant levels and are expected to reduce bioavailability of iron, magnesium and zinc in tender leaves.Â Â

Steaming and vacuum drying preserve active components, sensory and antioxidant properties of Flos Sophorae

et al. 2023

Flos Sophorae (FS) is medicinal and edible, while fresh FS is highly perishable. Thus, this study investigated the effects of different drying methods (hot air drying, HAD; vacuum drying, VD; freeze drying, FD) after steaming on the bioactive components and sensory quality of FS. The results indicated steaming for 1 min maximally retained the contents of total flavonoids, rutin, and quercetin in thermal drying (HAD and VD), meanwhile, the freeze-dried FS without steaming also had higher total flavonoids and rutin contents. Moreover, FD samples had the highest protein content and organoleptic properties, with closer color parameters to fresh FS, followed by the VD group. Considering comprehensively all data with processing cost, the sample of VD after steaming for 1 min was chosen to measure the antioxidant activity, which showed that FS extract was superior to Vc in ABTS• and •OH scavenging rates, and its DPPH• scavenging rate was stronger than Vc in the low concentration. These results demonstrated that vacuum drying after steaming for 1 min was suitable postharvest processing for fresh FS, which was beneficial to maintaining higher flavonoids, rutin, and sensory characteristics of FS, and its flavonoid extract had better antioxidant activity than Vc.
