“…Several studies have reported that antioxidants play important roles in the prevention of aging and age-related diseases [14]. Due to the safety concerns associated with supplemental forms of antioxidants, consumers are paying more attention to fruits and vegetables as natural sources of antioxidants [7]. Reports also reveal that I. batatas possessed strong antioxidant compounds [15,16].…”

“…from the family Convolvulaceae is an herbaceous perennial vine that has white and purple flowers, large nutritious storage roots and heart-shaped, lobed leaves [6]. It is consumed as vegetables in tropical areas, especially Southeast Asia, used as a folk medicine in Brazil and commonly eaten as root crops in Japan, Korea and other Asian countries [6,7]. Nutritionists at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) reported that I. batatas is the single most important dietary herb that would replace fatty foods [8].…”

Purpose: To evaluate the protective effects of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Linn, Convolvulaceae) extract (IBE) in stimulated BV-2 microglial cells and its anti-oxidant properties. Methods: Cell viability assessment was performed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to activate BV-2 microglia. Nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured using Griess assay. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expressional levels were measured by Western blot analysis. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antioxidant properties were evaluated by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Results: LPS-activated excessive release of NO in BV-2 cells was significantly inhibited by IBE (p<0.001 at 100 μg/mL). Increased production of inflammatory mediators such as iNOS, COX-2 and respectively) was attenuated by IBE concentration-dependently. IBE also scavenged DPPH radicals in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05 at 10 μg/ml and p < 0.001 at 20 -200 μg/ml

“…Pawpaw (Carica papaya) leaf is also a potential source with proximate analysis: 26.3% crude protein, 14.8% crude fibre and 6.8% moisture (Obwanga, 2010). Sun et al (2014) also reported that of Sweet potato (Ipomea batata) leaf meal (IBLM). The leave meal was reported to have a high protein content of between 26 to 33%, with high amino acid score (Hong et al 2003).…”

Este trabajo revisa las investigaciones sobre el uso de fuentes no convencionales de proteína de origen vegetal para la avicultura en Nigeria y otros paises vecinos. Como el coste de los piensos compuestos continua siendo una carga para los granjeros nigerianos debido al alto coste actual de las fuentes convencionales de proteína tales como harina de pescado, torta de cacahuete y harina de soja, es muy urgente explorar los potenciales de fuentes alternativas no convencinales de proteína, especialmente harinas de hojas de algunas plantas, tales como Moringa oleifera, Leuceana leucocephala, Manihot esculenta, Carica papaya y otros piensos leguminosos los cuales pueden, de alguna forma, sustituir la inclusión de fuentes convencionales de proteína. Esas fuentes alternativas no convencionales tienen un excelente valor nutritivo y propiedades terapéuticas. Sus contenidos de proteína bruta son excelentes. Resulta aparente por varios estudios previos que la inclusión de esas fuentes proteícas no convencionales en las dietas avícolas mejora el rendimiento de los pollos en término de tasa de crecimiento y producción de huevos. Sin embargo, sus niveles de inclusión recomendados deben de ser estrictamente ajustados para evitar cualquier efecto deletéreo que pueda tener sobre los pollos. Por ejemplo, la inclusión de la harina de hojas de Moringa oleifera (MOLM) hasta el 10% en dietas de gallinas ponedoras se ha comprobado que es segura. Por lo tanto, será una novedad su inclusión en alimentos avícolas sin producir efectos nocivos para el rendimiento de las aves así como para los consumidores de los productos y, finalmente, dando lugar a mejores beneficios de los granjeros.

The goal of this work was to study the composition and nutritional potential of a "multimistura" that was developed and used in a vulnerable community of Nampula, Mozambique to fight micronutrient deficiency in pregnant or lactating women and in children up to 8 years old. The micronutrient composition of the "multimistura" developed with locally available products did not show statistically significant differences when compared to commercial food supplements used in industrialized countries. Taking in account the composition results and the nutritional requirements of each target group, it was observed that the currently recommended daily intake should be, at least, doubled to fulfil the nutritional needs of each of the groups. The exception regards Children in the 1-3 year old group, would be an exception, as the doubling of ingestion would be detrimental since it would exceed the tolerable daily intake of magnesium. This work allowed the suggestion of some procedures aimed at balancing the supplement nutritional composition to leverage adequate levels of household nutritional security in the target community.Keywords: dietary supplement, food security, hidden hunger, Mozambique, multimistura. ResumoEm países em desenvolvimento, uma das formas de combate à carência de micronutrientes da população é o recurso a suplementos alimentares, comummente chamados de multimisturas, definidas como o produto obtido através da secagem, torrefação, moagem e mistura de ingredientes de origem vegetal. Neste trabalho pretendeu-se estudar a composição e adequabilidade de uma dessas multimisturas, desenvolvida numa comunidade vulnerável em Nampula,Moçambique, e utilizada no combate da carência de micronutrientes em grávidas, lactantes e crianças até aos 8 anos. A composição de micronutrientes da multimistura, desenvolvida com base em produtos locais, não se mostrou estatisticamente diferente da descrita em suplementos alimentares comerciais usados em países industrializados. Com base nas determinações efetuadas e nas necessidades nutricionais de cada grupo etário, constatou-se que as doses diárias recomendadas atualmente são nutricionalmente insuficientes sendo necessário, no mínimo, duplicar a quantidade de multimistura ingerida por cada um dos grupos. A exceção é o grupo das crianças dos 1 aos 3 anos onde a duplicação da dose seria prejudicial, pois implicaria que a dose diária aceitável de magnésio fosse ultrapassada. São sugeridas ainda algumas medidas para otimizar a composição da multimistura, de modo a garantir adequados nívei...
