“…This hypothesis is supported by the significantly higher value of the K 232 , a marker of lipid oxidation phenomena in almonds [46] observed in CAcv, as compared with FCcv. Phenol compounds and their bioaccessibility contribute to healthy nutraceutical effects of almonds; for example phenol compounds in almond skin have been linked with positive health effects as the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation [47][48][49][50][51][52]. A number of studies also link the consumption of almonds with lower levels of serum cholesterol and triglycerides, due to their content in polyunsaturated fatty acids [10,11].…”

Background: Almonds are healthy nutraceuticals, which vary across different cultivars. We compared the composition, agreeability and gastrointestinal effects of two almond cultivars from different areas.Methods: Californian Carmel (CAcv) and local Apulian Filippo Cea (FCcv) cultivars were compared for the chemical composition and sensory evaluation according to visual analogue and semiquantitative scales in 60 volunteers. Gallbladder/gastric motility (ultrasonography) and orocecal transit time (H2-breath test) were studied in another 24 subjects by comparing the effects of a standard liquid test meal with isovolumetric almond test meals (24 g of CAcv or FCcv almonds).Results: Proteins prevailed in CAcv, while FCcv contained more lipids and 10-times more total phenol content than CAcv. For agreeability, CAcv scored higher than FCcv for smell, texture and appearance, although different perceptions existed in lean (scores for smell, taste, texture, appearance higher for CAcv than FCcv), obese (CAcv better than FCcv only for appearance) and elderly subjects (CAcv better than FCcv only for texture). Gallbladder emptying was stronger with FCcv than CAcv. Antral dilatation after ingestion of both cultivars was greater than the dilatation observed after the test meal. Gastric emptying, however, was similar after FCcv, CAcv and the test meal. The orocecal transit time in response to both cultivars was shorter than after the test meal.Conclusions: Differences in composition and effects of FCcv and CAcv cultivars support their potential use as valuable nutraceutical tools, to be confirmed in further clinical studies.

“…Flavonoids are polyphenolics that commonly occur in herbal medicine. They have been proposed to have the ability to scavenge free radicals such as peroxide, hydroperoxide or lipid peroxyl and thus inhibit the oxidative stress that give rise to deteriorative disease (Jadeja et al, 2009;Mishra et al, 2010). These six known flavonoids obtained from EMO were isolated for the first time from this plant.…”

“…Sathisha et al (2011) hypothesized that the reducing power of a compound may serve as a significant indicator of its potential antioxidant activity. Previous reports on the relationship between the TPC and antioxidant capacity demonstrated a linear correlation between TPC and the antioxidant capacity (Nisha et al, 2009;Mishra et al, 2010;Atta et al, 2016).…”

Current study was designed to focus on the proximate, phytochemical and nutrient composition in addition to antioxidant properties of five selected vegetables viz Ipomoea batatas, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Daucus carota, Solanum Melongena and Brassica rapa rapa that are locally available and readily consumed in Pakistan. Nutritional analysis revealed that all the edibles were rich sources of crude protein, carbohydrate, fat and dietary fiber. Micro and macro minerals analysis also exhibited the significant presence of Na, K, Ca, Mg and P. Preliminary phytochemical screening unveiled the extraordinary incidence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids that was also proved by quantitative analysis. The biological assays bared a considerable antioxidant potential of selected green materials. Among vegetables, Trigonella foenum-graecum was proved to be superior while Brassica rapa rapa was considered to be inferior for phenolics and flavonoids content. Trigonella foenum-graecum also presented significant antioxidant activity with maximum reduction capacity and also having least IC50 as a result of inhibition of free radical scavenging by DPPH method. In contrast to α-amylase, a significantly higher inhibition towards α-glucosidase was shown by the selected samples; an impending remedial approach connected to postprandial hyperglycemia. In this scenario, the results of this study suggests that all the selected green materials have very good medicinal potentials, meet the standard requirements for drug formulation and serve as good sources of energy and nutrients. The outcomes of current work also revealed that plant derived foods enriched with phytoprotectants are effective to tailor specific healthy diet for the target population.
