“…Besides that, all of the seaweed had the highest flavonoid, total phenol, and tannin content. A similar result was found by Egodavitharana et al [62] . The green seaweed ( Ulva lactuca and Ulva fasciata, which was poised from Dickwella, Sri Lanka) had higher total flavonoid (9.16 and 8.38 mg rutin equivalent per gm of dry weight, respectively) than total phenolic (0.80 and 0.85 mg gallic acid per gm of dry weight, respectively) content.…”

Objective: This research aimed to evaluate potential tropical seaweed from Indonesia as an ingredient or supplement feed for ruminants based on chemical composition and in vitro rumen fermentation parameters. Materials and methods: The seven natural tropical seaweeds (three green and four red species) were collected from Ndrini and Sepanjang Beach, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The experimental design on secondary metabolite profiles used a completely randomized design, and the in vitro gas production test used a randomized complete block design with seven seaweed species variances and four replications (blocks) based on rumen fluid collection time. The data obtained was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Duncan‘s Multiple Range Test was used to test the variation in the analysis. Results: The seven tropical seaweed species have potential as mineral sources for ruminants, except for macromineral (P and S) and micromineral (Cu). The red tropical seaweed has potential as a protein source (Gelidium spinosum (S.G.Gmelin) P.C. Silva, Hypnea pannosa, and Acanthopora muscoides (L.) Bory), and the green seaweed (Chaetomorpha linum (O.F. Mull.) Kutz and Cladopora sp.) has potential as a crude fiber (CF) source for ruminants. As indicated by secondary metabolites and gas production in vitro, the green species (C. linum (O.F. Mull.) Kutz and Enteromorpha compressa) and red species (A. muscoides (L.) Bory and Gelidium amansii (J.V. Lamouroux) J.V. Lamouroux) could be degraded in the rumen and had quite high phenolic compounds. Conclusion: The seven tropical seaweed species have the potential to be an ingredient or supplement feed for ruminants, and there were four species that have the potential to reduce methane emissions.

“…These crackers would still have increased health bene ts due to the mineral composition, however the stability of the bioactive molecules in the nal product are to be investigated. The authors have also performed proximate analysis and sensory analysis of the products and concluded that the developed products are palatable and acceptable (Egodavitharana et al 2023). Work ow of this study is very much similar to the current investigation.…”

“…A study by Egodavitharana et.al., (2023) has developed edible green seaweed infused crackers (functional food), that has incorporated Ulva lactuca and Ulva fasciata as two different variants of the product. The authors utilized wheat as the primary base element to form the crackers and have infused the edible marine seaweeds, to enrich the product with minerals and other bioactive molecules (Egodavitharana et al 2023). Since the functional food is a baked product, in which the ingredients are exposed to high temperature such as > 220ºC, there is high probability of the bioactive molecules to be denatured.…”

The aim of this investigation is to develop functional food recipes that combines millets and edible seaweed (Ulva fasciata), to help maintain blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients. The U. fasciata sample was procured from Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, and botanically authenticated at CSMCRI, Rameswaram. The U. fasciata thallus was subjected for Drosophila melanogaster toxicity studies, to assess the effect on mortality, fecundity, negative geotaxis and feeding behaviors for both acute and chronic durations. It was concluded that the procured U. fasciata sample is non-toxic and it improves the physiological functioning of the flies such as neural, muscular, digestive function and feeding potential of the flies. Further, the seaweed was infused into three unique functional food recipes i.e., Ragi Soup, Sorghum Ice Cream and Foxtail Millet Dosa (each infused with 1% dry U. fasciata). The functional foods were developed based on trial-and-error method, coupled with sensory panel analysis (semi-trained) to improve the palatability and acceptability. Proximate analysis was performed for all the three food products and fresh U. fasciata thallus, to understand their nutritional composition. The developed products contain a good balanced source of nutrients and rich source of minerals, that could help improve the metabolic process of diabetic patients. The optimized functional foods were lyophilized to convert these products into ready-to-eat commercial recipes. To the best of knowledge, this is the first report on developing functional foods that combines millets and edible seaweeds for their anti-diabetic applications.

“…Commercially available antioxidant drugs include butyrate hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytolune, propyl gallate, and fuconazole [29][30][31]. However, studies have shown that these synthetic antioxidants have toxic efects and show negative health infuence [32,33] and have led to some restrictions being imposed on their use [34].…”

Medicinal plants are a rich source of antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, and alkaloids among others and are currently used as alternative and complementary drugs in the management of stress-related disorders. Strychnos henningsii and Ficus sycomorus have been traditionally used by the people of Mbeere, Embu county, Kenya, as medicine for the treatment of various oxidative stress-related disorders such as diabetes and rheumatism; however, no empirical data are available to authenticate the said claim. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary phytochemical screening and in vitro antioxidant activity of dichloromethane (DCM) leaf extract of S. henningsii and stem bark extract of F. sycomorus using DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, and ferric reducing power assays; total flavonoids and phenolic compounds were also determined by colorimetric assay and Folin–Ciocalteu reaction, respectively. Phytochemical screening showed that both extracts possessed saponins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, alkaloids, and cardiac glycosides; however, terpenoids were found to be absent in S. henningsii. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of the DCM stem bark extract of F. sycomorus was lower than that of the leaf extract of S. henningsii. These extracts significantly exhibited strong antioxidant activities at different concentrations tested. The IC50 values of S. henningsii and F. sycomorus were 0.325 mg/ml and 0.330 mg/ml for hydrogen peroxide and 0.068 mg/ml and 0.062 mg/ml for DPPH, respectively. Both DCM leaf and stem bark extracts of S. henningsii and F. sycomorus were found to have strong ferric reducing power. Therefore, both extracts showed significant nonenzyme-based antioxidant activities. The two plants possess phytochemicals that have significant antioxidant properties.
