Abstract
Anthocyanins are water-soluble, colored compounds of the flavonoid class, abundantly found in the fruits, leaves, roots, and other parts of the plants. The fruit berries are prime sources and exhibit different colors. The anthocyanins utility as traditional medicament for liver protection and cure, and importance as strongest plants-based anti-oxidants have conferred these plants products different biological activities. These activities include anti-inflammation, liver protective, analgesic, and anti-cancers, which have provided the anthocyanins an immense commercial value, and has impelled their chemistry, biological activity, isolation, and quality investigations as prime focus. Methods in extraction and production of anthocyanin-based products have assumed vital economic importance. Different extraction techniques in aquatic solvents mixtures, eutectic solvents, and other chemically reactive extractions including low acid concentrations-based extractions have been developed. The prophylactic and curative therapy roles of the anthocyanins, together with no reported toxicity has offered much-needed impetus and economic benefits to these classes of compounds which are commercially available. Information retrieval from various search engines, including the PubMed®, ScienceDirect®, Scopus®, and Google Scholar®, were used in the review preparation. This imparted an outlook on the anthocyanins occurrence, roles in plants, isolation-extraction, structures, biosynthetic as well as semi- and total-synthetic pathways, product quality and yields enhancements, including uses as part of traditional medicines, and uses in liver disorders, prophylactic and therapeutic applications in liver protection and longevity, liver cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. The review also highlights the integrated approach to yields maximizations to meet the regular demands of the anthocyanins products, also as part of the extract-rich preparations together with a listing of marketed products available for human consumption as nutraceuticals/food supplements.

Lam modulates glucose metabolism, cholinergic activities and Nrf2 expression, while suppressing oxidative stress and dyslipidemia in diabetic rats. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 255:112744. [PMID: 32165174 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Dacryodes edulis L. is an evergreen tree indigenous to western and eastern Africa which is utilized for nutritional and medicinal purposes. Folklorically, different parts of the tree are used in treating and managing diabetes and its complications. AIMS The antidiabetic effect of the butanol fraction of D. edulis ethanol extract (BFDE) was studied in fructose-streptozotocin induced type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS The ethanol extract was fractionated to yield the hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous fractions. The in vitro antidiabetic activities of the fractions were determined by their ability to inhibit α-glucosidase activity. BDFE was the most active and showed no cytotoxic effect while stimulating glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Thus, selected for in vivo study. Diabetic rats were grouped into 4. The negative control group was administered water only, another group was treated with metformin (200 mg/kg bodyweight), while the other groups were administered BDFE at 150 and 300 mg/kg bodyweight respectively. Two other groups consisting of normal rats were given water and BFDE (300 mg/kg bodyweight) respectively, with the former serving as normal control. After 6 weeks of intervention, the rats were humanely sacrificed using appropriate anaesthesia. RESULTS Treatment with the fraction significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the blood glucose level of the diabetic rats, with concomitant increase in serum insulin secretion. It also caused significant (p < 0.05) elevation of reduced glutathione level, superoxide dismutase, catalase, α-amylase, and ATPase activities, with concomitant depletion in myeloperoxidase activity, NO and MDA levels of the serum and pancreas. The pancreatic morphology and β-cell function were significantly improved in BFDE-treated rats, with restoration of the pancreatic capillary networks. Treatment with BFDE significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the activities of glycogen phosphorylase, fructose 1,6 biphosphatase, glucose 6 phosphatase, and acetylcholinesterase, while suppressing the expression of Nrf2. HPLC analysis revealed the presence of gallic acid, vanillic acid, vanillin, and (-)-epicatechin in the fraction. CONCLUSION These results portray the antidiabetic and antioxidative properties of BFDE, which may be a synergistic consequence of the identified phenolics.

Abstract
Indigenous fruits constitute an important part of human diets in many sub-Saharan African countries, particularly in rural areas and during droughts. In order to promote and expand the utilisation of these fruits, knowledge on their nutritional composition is essential. This review presents the results of a literature research of the nutritional composition of ten selected indigenous fruits from sub-Saharan Africa. Species were selected based on their current importance as well as their future potential for nutrition, processing and cash income generation. Compositional data were compiled and mean values of components per species were calculated. Most papers were compiled for Adansonia digitata (26) and Dacryodes edulis (16), followed by Tamarindus indica (ten), Balanites aegyptiaca (nine), Sclerocarya birrea (nine), Ziziphus mauritiana (nine), Vitex doniana (seven) and Irvingia gabonensis (five), and least for Uapaca kirkiana (three) and Syzygium guineense (three). Fruits were found to be mainly analysed for macronutrients and minerals. Vitamins, apart from vitamin C, were rarely reported. Substantial compositional differences were found among as well as within the different fruit species. The results of this study emphasise the need to generate more high-quality data on a wider spectrum of components of the selected indigenous fruits in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract
The effect of postharvest treatment with enantiomers of methyl jasmonate (MJ) in conjunction with ethanol on bioformation of myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol in red raspberry was studied. For comparison, postharvest treatment with the commercial stereoisomeric mixture of MJ in conjunction with ethanol was simultaneously accomplished. The levels obtained were contrasted with those determined in untreated (control) samples. Exogenous (+)-MJ induced an enhancement in the levels of myricetin, quercetin and, particularly, kaempferol whereas the exposition to (-)-MJ exhibited the opposite effect. Enzymatic assays were carried out in presence and absence of (-)-MJ and (+)-MJ to evaluate possible changes in the activity of the enzymes regulating the bioformation of flavonols in red raspberries as a consequence of the treatments. From the results of the assays both (-)-MJ and (+)-MJ inhibited the activity of flavanone 3β-hydroxylase (FHT) and flavonol synthase (FLS), which are directly involved in the formation of flavonols from (-/+)-naringenin. From these results, it is speculated that the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) regulating the formation of (-/+)-naringenin from l-phenylalanine by (+)-MJ in conjunction with ethanol is promoted. Postharvest treatment of red raspberry with (+)-MJ in ethanol is proposed as a mean to increase flavonol content in red raspberries.

Abstract
The review is based on the evaluation of electronically collated data published between 2002 to June 2006. It is based on 325 references dealing with the following subclasses of phenolic compounds: hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids, chalcones, flavanones, flavones, flavonols, monomeric flavanols and anthocyanins. Only publications dealing directly with the effects of storage and postharvest processing on the phenolic acid and flavonoid contents of foods were considered. The expectation that the structural diversity even within each subgroup, and the number of different procedures and of different parameters would make finding homogenous tendencies unlikely, has, in most instances, been confirmed. By adding a database Excel table combined with a focused and unified evaluation, specific additional information was rendered accessible and concise. It holds true for most of the subclasses in question that the effect of storage and food processing on the polyphenol content is negligible in comparison to the differences between different varieties of plants. Variety dependence must always be considered, for all classes of compounds.
