Two new alkaloids from Asparagus stipularis Forssk. roots

Roots and rhizomes of wild Asparagus: Nutritional composition, bioactivity and nanoencapsulation of the most potent extract

“…Because of its high iron, nitrogen, and ascorbic acid contents (Ulukapi et al, 2014), A. stipularis can substitute other Asparagus species for human nutrition. A triterpene saponin (asparagalin A) and two alkaloids (5-hydroxyaspastipuline and aspastipuline) have been purified from the roots of A. stipularis (El-Seedi et al, 2012;Galala et al, 2015). Unfortunately, plant extract often present some problems, including long-term instability during storage, as influenced by temperature, light, pH and oxygen conditions, and low nutrient and phytochemical bioavailability (Coimbra et al, 2011;Fang & Bhandari, 2010;Woranuch & Yoksana, 2013).…”

Comparison of the inedible parts of white and green asparagus based on metabolomics and network pharmacology

“…Based on our previous study and the MS/MS data reported in the literature, 4,10–28 a total of 342 metabolites were tentatively identified, which were divided into 11 categories, including 53 saponins, 47 flavonoids, 133 lipids, 33 phenolic acids, 31 amino acids, peptides and derivatives, 10 carbohydrates, 7 nucleosides, 9 organic acids, 4 alkaloids, 3 lignans and norlignans and 12 other compounds. The base peak intensity (BPI) chromatograms of the inedible parts of white and green asparagus are shown in ESI Fig.…”

Study of Postharvest Quality and Antioxidant Capacity of Freshly Cut Amaranth after Blue LED Light Treatment

“…The homogenization solution was evenly placed on the plate-counting agar medium (PCA), and the colonies were tested by the inverted plate method. The specific spoilage organism(SSO)count referred to the method of Amal et al [ 19 ].…”
