The secondary metabolite, 4-Ipomeanol from Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a potential chemotherapeutic agent for cancer. This study presents an efficient protocol for bioproduction of 4-ipomeanol, in large quantities without disturbing the natural biodiversity of I. batatas. Friable Calli from
Sweet potato root tissue, when infected with different pathogens, invaded by insects, or irritated by certain chemicals, turns black-brown and produces and accumulates a large amount of furanoterpenoids such as ipomeamarone, ipomeamaronol, ipomeanine and 4-ipomeanol, which are toxic to animals. The
Deisopropylngaione (DIN) is one of a family of hepatotoxic furanosesquiterpenoid essential oils which is found in small amounts (5%) in the leaves of some specimens of the Australian plant Myoporum deserti. DIN differs from other furanoid myoporaceous essential oils in that it also causes lesions in
In this review, some common food plants and their toxic or otherwise bioactive components and mycotoxin contaminants have been considered. Crucifers contain naturally occurring components that are goitrogenic, resulting from the combined action of allyl isothiocyanate, goitrin, and thiocyanate.
