Proximate composition, phytochemicals, minerals and antioxidant activities of Vigna mungo L. seed coat

Abstract

Vigna mungo L. seed coat is an agro by-product, available in substantial quantity, with no clear evidence to prove its economic importance. In the present study, the phytochemicals, proximate content, minerals and in vitro antioxidant activities of aqueous (AE), ethanol (EE) and 80% ethanolic extract (80% EE) of Vigna mungo L. seed coat were determined. The total carbohydrate, total protein, crude fibre, ash and moisture content of the seed coat were found to be 27.52±2.71%, 10.07±0.92%, 48.67±1.96%, 4.87±0.29% and 11.03±0.49% respectively. The content of total phenolics and flavonoids were significantly higher in 80% EE than other extracts. The mineral composition showed that seed coat was rich in calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and manganese. The higher antioxidant potential was shown by 80% EE in DPPH and SOD assay whereas AE shows more scavenging activity in H2O2 assay. So it can be used as neutraceuticals in food supplements.

Phytic Acid, Protein, and Oil Contents and Their Relationship With Seed Quality During Seed Maturation of Bambara Nut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) Landraces

“…2020; Silva et al. 2021) and are related to their adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses in their environments (Arockianathan, Rajalakshmi, and Nagappan 2019; Sparvoli and Cominelli 2015). Seed coat color in BN and other legumes is largely determined by the polyphenolic content of the seed coat, mostly the tannins and flavonoids (Mabhaudhi and Modi 2013; Ren, Liu, and Wang 2012; Taahir, Jideani, and Hill 2018; P. Zhao et al.…”

“…However, its protein content was comparable to that of LocalBam, though higher than that of AbiBam001. Differences in storage reserve and phytochemical composition of legumes including BN are known to be genetically controlled (Kanmaz and Ova 2015;Karmakar et al 2020;Silva et al 2021) and are related to their adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses in their environments (Arockianathan, Rajalakshmi, and Nagappan 2019;Sparvoli and Cominelli 2015). Seed coat color in BN and other legumes is largely determined by the polyphenolic content of the seed coat, mostly the tannins and flavonoids (Mabhaudhi and Modi 2013;Ren, Liu, and Wang 2012;Taahir, Jideani, and Hill 2018;P.…”

Black Bean Hulls as a Byproduct of an Extraction Process to Enhance Nutraceutical and Glycemic-Related Properties of Nixtamalized Maize Tostadas

“…Arockianathan et al [37] previously reported the proximal composition of Vigna mungo L. seed coat, and values were 11.03%, 10.07%, 0.46%, 4.87%, 48.67%, and 27.52% for moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrates by difference, respectively. BBH showed fat and ash content similar to values previously mentioned; moisture and crude fiber were lower, at 6.78% and 16.96% in BBH, respectively.…”

Virtual Screening of Adenylate Kinase 3 Inhibitors Employing Pharmacophoric Model, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulations as Potential Therapeutic Target in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

“…When the structure of a biological target is available, methods can be applied to investigate whether or not a potential ligand can bind with high affinity to the active target site in order to inhibit or enhance its function. These structure-based drug design (SBDD) methods enable the identification of new lead compounds in time-and costeffective manners, including such techniques as the virtual screening of ligand databases, pharmacophore modeling, and molecular docking [11,12].…”
