The present study was carried out to evaluate the possible antibacterial activity of aqueous (AEMC), methanol (MEMC) and chloroform (CEMC) extracts of Muntingia calabura as well as methanol (MECO) and chloroform (CECO) extracts of Corchorus olitorius using the in vitro disc diffusion methods. The flowers are yellow and small and form into clusters in the axils of the leaves. Mahapatra 2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Origin, Diversity, and Distribution The genus Corchorus belonging to the family Malva-ceae (formerly under Tiliaceae) is distributed through-out the tropical and subtropical regions of the world (Kundu 1951; Purseglove 1968; Chang and Miau 1989). However, it is difficult to comment on the efficacy of these Northern Australian plants, since the inhibitory activities of their respective positive controls (standard drugs) were not presented (Deo et al., 2016). (Rutaceae) and Zygophyllum album L.f. (Zygophyllaceae), Germaine S. Nkengfack Nembongwe, Heike Englert, in HIV/AIDS, 2018, Vitamin A or retinol is a fat soluble vitamin found mostly in animal products. In addition, red palm oil is highly available and cheap, and readily used in the preparation of most sauces and dishes such as cowpea cake, and locally known in some African countries as koki or moi moi. Corchorus olitorius L., is a culinary and medicinal herb, widely used as a vegetable in several countries in Asia. Author: Houjayfa, Ousman Mohamad; Noubissié, Eric; Ngassoum, Martin Benoît Source: Environmental and sustainability indicators 2020 v.6 pp. Extracts from samples of different morphotypes leaves of this species were analysed for their phytochemical compositions, antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities. C. olitorius also displayed antibacterial effects on a panel of Gram-negative bacteria, such as E. coli, E. aerogenes, K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae, P. stuartii, and P. aeruginosa (Seukep et al., 2013). Nagappan et al. C. olitorius commonly known as Nalta jute or Jew’s mallow, is a culinary and medicinal herb, widely used as a vegetable in several countries in Asia and Africa. Introduction. The seeds are dull grey and with four faces and one long point. Corchorus olitorius L. (Nalta jute or tossa jute) is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical region. 5.4 Corchorus olitorius (Malvaceae) C. olitorius commonly known as Nalta jute or Jew’s mallow, is a culinary and medicinal herb, widely used as a vegetable in several countries in Asia and Africa. JUTE (CORCHORUS OLITORIUS): MOISTURIZING LOTION. The HX extract of A. glomerata showed approximately equal α-glu and ACE inhibitions (ψ = 0.95), although the α-glu (IC50 ≃ 187 vs 30 µg/mL) and α-amy (IC50 ≃ 200 vs 45 µg/mL) inhibitory activities were about 6 and 4 times less potent that of acarbose, respectively. Griseb (rubiaceae) and Erythraea centaurium Rafn. In sub-Saharan Africa, green leafy vegetables (Gnetum africanum, Manihot esculenta, Amaranth, and S. retroflexum) are rich sources of vitamin A. Roy, A.K. Sources of vitamin A in the diet of a majority of Africans include red palm oil, carrots, tomatoes, vitamin A-rich fruits (mango, papaya), squash, sweet potatoes, liver, tuna fish; butter, milk, egg yolk. In fact, the ACE inhibitory effect of captopril was 103 to 106 that of the extracts of these plants. 1. Most leafy vegetables are rich in carotenes, fibre, and minerals. Culinary plants of this family, such as Triumfetta cordifolia A. Chika Ifeanyi Chukwuma, ... Md. An excellent on-line database with detailed information on over 3,200 species of useful plants of Africa. From the above discussions, diverse plant species belonging to different families have been probed for concomitant in vitro anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycemic potentials. x��[{�Grd�9�V{���}�t�w���� ���%�O\�"�Z�%P`������0y|�t����zHJJ�������������۷_��ͫ���7�W? Thus, fucoxanthin present in these seaweeds may only play a synergistic role in their enzyme inhibitory effects. Dry seed yields per plant ranged from 9.8g to 235.0g among 15 accessions grown during the dry season (November 1980-February 1981) in contrast to 2.6g produced by a commercial cultivar (oniyaya) in the previous rainy season (March -May 1980). For some other plant species such as Annona muricata L. (annonaceae), Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and Sigesbeckia orientalis L., Gynura divaricata (L.) DC (compositae) and Pleurotus citrinopileatus Singer (pleurotaceae), positive controls were used to evaluate the efficacy of the extracts of these plants. Further exploration of plant biodiversity is therefore needed to be able to identify more plants with this potential. C. olitorius leaves oil (95.1%) and stem oil (97.1%) at 400 µg/ml respectively. The bark of C. capsularis and to a lesser extent that of C. olitorius constitute the chief source of the fibre jute, and these species are much cultivated in India and Bangladesh. It is therefore recommended that more specialized experimental models, such as DPP-IV, NOX-1, renin and aortic contraction inhibition assays as well as cellular (adipocyte, myocytes, hepatocytes and beta cells) glucose uptake assay be employed in screening potentially anti-diabetic and anti-hyperglycemic plants at in vitro level. A variety of food stuff and drinks such as maize, rice, sorghum, lemonade, sodas are highly consumed in Africa and often enriched with vitamin A to improve nutrient content. Both of these problems can be eliminated by boiling and discarding the cooking water. Corchorus olitorius L., locally known to the Malaysia’s Sabahan as Senaung betina, is an annual herb that belongs to the family Tiliaceae. pauciflorum (Melastomataceae) (leaves), Petalostigma banksii Britten & S.Moore (leaves, fruits and roots) and Petalostigma pubescens Domin (Picrodendraceae) (leaves, fruits and roots) exhibited anti-glycation as well as α-glu, α-amy and ACE inhibitory activities (Deo et al., 2016).

T. cordifolia located in tropical Africa, is a shrub of about 5-m high, used in Cameroon as foodstuff as well as in traditional medicine to manage several ailments including microbial infections. belong to the family Tiliaceae and commonly known as “Jute or Jew Mallow”. This extract triggered the activation of procaspases-3 and 9 and caused the cleavage of downstream substrate, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase, followed by downregulation of the inhibitor of caspase-activated DNase signaling (Li et al., 2012). Corchorus olitorius L. which belongs to Tiliaceae family is a cultivated herbaceous plant highly consumed as traditional leafy vegetables in Benin. In amaranth, under certain conditions, the nitrate content of leaves exceeds tolerable limits. For example, one of the main ingredients in the preparation of G. africanum or leaves of M. esculenta, or Corchorus olitorius (jute mallow leaves) in many sub-Saharan African countries is red palm oil or palm kernel juice.

Corchorus olitorius is an annual crop. Apart from C. asiatica, these Malaysian plants exhibited α-amy and ACE inhibitions only, without observable α-glu inhibition suggesting that these plants might not have appreciable dual therapeutic effects against diabetes and hypertension. Similar limitation was observed for tested extracts of some other plant species such as phenolic extracts of Corchorus olitorius L. (malvaceae) and Veronica persica Poir. Raw jute plays an important role in the country’s economy. Some of the dried and powdered leafy vegetables, which are rich in carotene and minerals, can be blended with cereal flours to improve the nutritional status of people of the developing world who often suffer from nutritional deficiency diseases. [2] [3] Inga underarter finns listade i … However, based on the computed anti-diabetic/anti-hypertensive potency ratio (ψ) of the reported medicinal plants, only few of them (12%) and certain extracts appear to be promising for further investigation as potential dual therapeutic agents for diabetes and hypertension. (gentianaceae) were compared to that of acarbose, while their ACE inhibitory activity was not compared to a positive control (Loizzo et al., 2008). Corchorus olitorius L. Tiliaceae Nalta jute, Tussa jute. (Brassicaceae) and Cyclanthera pedata (L.)

(2017) reported that Malaysian seaweeds, Sargassum polycystum C.Agardh, 1824 and Sargassum siliquosum J.Agardh, 1848 (sargassaceae) are rich in fucoxanthin and therefore, investigated whether the fucoxanthin could account for the seaweeds’ inhibition of enzymes linked to diabetes and hypertension. None of these plants showed comparable α-glu, α-amy and ACE inhibition with standard drugs, acarbose and captopril (Wu et al., 2011; Adefegha et al., 2015; Chen et al., 2016, 2017; Chiou et al., 2017; Hung et al., 2017). The plant is a very popular vegetable crop in many tropical countries, where it makes an excellent spinach substitute in areas with hot summers. J.D.D. Excavation of Mesolithic civilization sites dating as far back as 10,000 B.C. The leaves are used in the treatment of cystitis, gonorrhoea, and dysuria. Description. In trade and industry, jute and mesta crop together known as raw jute as their uses are almost same. In Africa it is reported as a wild or cultivated vegetable in many countries including Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Egypt. A flavonoid glucoside identified as trans-tiliroside isolated from the leaves of T. cordifolia was active against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, B. cereus, S. aureus, and S. faecalis (Sandjo et al., 2009). Thus, they do not appear very promising for further investigation as dual therapeutic agents, except for very mild cases of the diseases. (plantaginaceae) leaves and Citrullus vulgaris Schrad. malchairii (De Wild.) Calcium oxalate, present in the form of fine crystals in the leaves of taro, causes itching of the fingers and a pricking sensation on the tongue and throat. Leafy vegetables are mostly used fresh as they are highly perishable. It is disturbed (Apocynaceae), Anonidium mannii (Oliv.) Some cultivars are sensitive to waterlogging, especially when they are young. Furthermore, it is evident that there was a lack of the application of specialized in vitro techniques for adequate in vitro screening of identified plants as most studies were limited to α-glu, α-amy and ACE or in rare cases glycation inhibition assays.
