“…Santos et al [12] found that the protein level of several cofee samples ranged from 9.21-14.33%, which is consistent with the current fgure for cofee beans. Alakali et al [13] revealed the protein concentration of various tea samples ranging from 8.35-10.67%, which is consistent with the current fnding. Te protein level of several cofee bean samples was in the range of 7-16.16% according to Nogaim et al [14], which agrees with the current data.…”

Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) provides several health benefits to users due to its strong medicinal and nutritional properties and caloric value. Green bean proximate composition diversity is unknown among the coffee genotypes now cultivated in southern Ethiopia. The study’s major goals are to determine the variability in green bean proximate composition among coffee genotypes and to see if there are any relationships between green bean proximate attributes. Therefore, a nutritional laboratory experiment was carried out at Jimma University College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (JUCAVM). Using the augmented design, a total of 104 entries were examined, including 100 accessions from southern Ethiopia and four standard checks. Each accession had data on 07 proximate composition parameters of green beans. The presence of significant ( P < 0.05 ) differences among the examined accessions for most of the traits considered was revealed by analysis of variance, and a wide range of variation was detected for several traits, indicating that the coffee germplasm accessions have high genetic variability. According to the findings, coffee beans have crude protein (6.93 to 10.14%), total lipids (8.89 to 16.08%), crude ash (2.51–5.47%), crude fiber (6.79–22.25%), dry matter (89.08 to 91.63%), carbohydrate (40.65 to 59.38%), and caloric value (307.39–382.77 k/calories). One hundred four arabica coffee accessions were grouped into ten distinct groups by 20 (19.23%), 21 (20.19%), 39 (37.50%), 12 (11.54%), 04 (3.85%), 03 (2.88%), 02 (1.92%), 01 (0.96%), 01 (0.96%), and 01 (0.96%). The majority of intercluster distances were significantly varied, showing that diversity exists that can be utilized through selection and hybridization. Clusters III and X had the greatest intercluster distance (D2 = 344.16), followed by clusters II and X (D2 = 236.33), VII and X (D2 = 199.04), and clusters VI and I (D2 = 106.25). Clusters I and IV had the smallest intercluster distance (D2 = 10.09), followed by II and IV (D2 = 10.66), and I and VI (D2 = 11.03). The first three principal components with eigenvalues larger than one explained 71.84% of the overall variation. In general, genotypes differed in green bean proximate composition and might be used as gene sources to generate future green bean varieties with appropriate biochemical composition.

“…Herbal teas are often a blend of many plants or different parts of the same plant [7]. [9] whereas Alakali et al produced herbal teas from Z. officinale and Pavetta crassipes [10]. Similarly, Ajayi and Oyerinde formulated herbal teas with H. sabdariffa and Citrus limon peels or Z. officinale [11].…”

Background: There is an urgent need to find safer and more sustainable solutions to tackle the rising global epidemic obesity and associated complications. The main objective of this study was to develop formulations of herbal tea blend from three plant species and to assess the antioxidant and antiobesogenic properties of the best formulation. Methods: The best formulation (FX) obtained (80% Hibiscus sabdariffa, 10% Zingiber officinale and 10% Mentha spicata) was validated by their better sensory acceptability and antioxidant properties. In vivo study using high-fat diet Wistar rats revealed that FX alleviated oxidative stress and metabolic disorders including those affecting hepatic and renal functions caused by high-fat died. Results: The administration of FX resulted in a reduction in food intake, body weight gain and metabolic efficiency index alongside lower blood content in triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, glucose, and atherogenic index when compared to the control groups. The results were comparable if not better than those obtained from the reference groups treated with a standard obesity treatment medicine, Orlistat. Conclusion: The developed herbal blend showed promising results for use as a safer product for obesity prevention and management as well as other oxidative stress-related health issues.

“…Interestingly the use of herbal infusions has increased a lot, due to the presence of naturally derived agents and probable health benefits. Looking into the benefits, the present study was to gather evidence for five herbs that were converted into polyherbal infusions and tested for the antidiabetic potential [21,22] . The population throughout the world preferably starts a day with a tea, and if the tea comes in the medicine form it would be easy and convenient for the patients with mild diabetes to take the medicine in an easy way to control their blood sugar level.…”

The presentstudy aims to preparenovel polyherbal formulations in aunique and accessible tea bag form and also analysesthe antidiabetic potentials in vitro.Material and method:The formulation wasmade from Ichnocarpus frutescens(IC), Ficusdalhousiae (FD),Cretevamagna (CM),Alpiniagalanga (AG)andSwertiachirata (SC)herbs andused in this study. Indian medicinal plants i.e.,polyherbalwere subjected to progressivephytochemical analysis and testswere carried outfor the determination of α-amylase inhibitionactivity.The Phytochemical analysis revealedthepresence of Alkaloids,Tannins,Anthraquinone, Flavonoids,Saponinand reducing sugar, as the active compounds. The tea infusions of the aforementioned plants were prepared in differentformulations like F1, F2, F3, and F4. The formulations weretested for antidiabetic activity in vitro through the inhibition of alpha-glycosidase.Results: TheF3 (91.6%) and F4 (92.7%) showedthehigher inhibition data againstporcine pancreatic α-amylase among the Fourformulations. The minimum% alpha-amylase inhibition was recordedin F2 (90.4%)amongthe medicinalactiveplants studied.Conclusion: Hyperglycaemia level is reducedvia a controllable condition of starch breakdown through pancreaticα-amylase inhibitors.Best results were obtained by the infusion containing The F2 formulation which showed significant antidiabetic activity.©2022iGlobal Research and PublishingFoundation.
