The phenotypes of Lepidium meyenii (Maca) relate to their difference of chemical compositions and biological activities. Essential oils, lipids and polysaccharides are the main active components in Maca, all of which showed potential antioxidant effect. The essential oil, lipid and polysaccharide
Agricultural plants can come in contact with cyanobacterial toxins via spray irrigation techniques. After uptake in the plants, cyanobacterial toxins are able to induce oxidative stress via the enhanced production of reactive oxygen species. If the initiated oxidation processes proceeds uninhibited,
Lepidium sativum L. is an important edible, herbaceous plant with huge medicinal value as cardio-protective, hepatoprotective and antitumor agent. This study was designed and performed to investigate biosynthesis of plant's active ingredients in callus cultures of L. sativum in response to the
This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of seeds aglycone extracts from Lepidium sativum (LS) and Eruca vesicaria (EV) Linn., on oxidative damages in vitro and on neutrophil nitro-oxidative functions. The results showed that LS and EV aglycone
This study aims to evaluate the impact of solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Trichoderma reesei on the phenolic content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of garden cress seeds (GCS).METHODS AND RESULTS
The factorial statistical design was
Methanol extracts of 26 commonly used vegetables in Iranian diet were monitored for antioxidant activity against linoleic acid peroxidation. Some vegetable extracts including savory, radish leaf, garden-cress, spirmint, leek, chive (aerial part), lettuce and dill showed an antioxidant activity
Lepidium sativum is widely used as a culinary and medicinal herb and is claimed to cure many diseases. In this study, an attempt was made to investigate the biochemical composition and functional properties of L. sativum ethanolic extract. The extract contained a total phenolic content of 11.03 ±
BACKGROUND
A plethora of concurrent cellular activities is mobilised in the adaptation of plants to adverse environmental conditions. This response can be quantified by physiological experiments or metabolic profiling. The intention of this work is to reduce the number of metabolic processes studied
The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Lepidium apetalum seed oil and its anti-oxidant activity were studied. The SFE process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD). Independent variables, namely operating pressure, temperature, time and
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are normally produced during cell metabolism, there is strong evidence to suggest that ROS produced in excess impair the cell and may be etiologically related to various neurodegenerative diseases. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of Lepidium meyenii
The structural characterization, antioxidant activity and protective effect against H2O2-induced injury RAW264.7 cells of a new polysaccharide (MP1) isolated from Lepidium meyenii Walp. were investigated. The molecular weight was estimated to be 4.67 × 105 Da by HPLC-ELSD analysis. Monosaccharide
In this study, Lepidium sativum L. was used in repeated phytoextraction processes to remove Hg from contaminated soil, assisted by combined use of compost and iodide (KI). L. sativum L. is sensitive to changes in environmental conditions and has been used in environmental tests. Its short vegetation
Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L) seed oil (GCO) is a rich source of α-linolenic acid (ALA, 33.6 %) and the oil has a fairly balanced SFA, MUFA and PUFA ratio. In this study we have investigated the effect of GCO and its blends with n-6 PUFA rich edible vegetable oils sunflower oil (SFO), rice bran
In recent years, there is an increased research interest for plants which are natural sources of antioxidants. Lepidium sativum Subsp spinescens L., commonly found in South West Asia, is a plant known as a healthy nutritional source containing bio-molecules that carry anti-hypertensive,
Water-soluble polysaccharides were separated from maca (Lepidium meyenii) aqueous extract (MAE). The crude polysaccharides were deproteinized by Sevag method. During the preparation process of maca polysaccharides, amylase and glucoamylase effectively removed starch in maca polysaccharides. Four
