Authors: Elsayed, Shaimaa I. M.; Advisor: -; Participants: Glala, A. A.; Abdalla, Aboelfetoh M.; El-Sayed, Abd El Ghafour A.; Darwish, Mona A. (2020) - The results demonstrated that dill cv. Dukat gave the highest plants (cm), maximum leaf number per plant, pigment content (mg/g), total carbohydrates (%), nitrogen, and phosphorus percentages in the vegetative growth stage. Meanwhile, dill cv. Balady recorded the maximum potassium percentage and low content of nitrate accumulation (mg/kg) in the vegetative growth stage. Both dill cultivars contained antioxidants without significant differences between them. The best fertilization treatments were 100% organic fertilization with biofertilizer and 100% chemical fertilizer for plant height (cm), leaf number per plant, pigment content, antioxidant percentage, total carbohydrate percentage, and N and P percentages of two dill genotypes. On the other hand, 50% organic fertilization with bi...

Authors: Alisi, Ikechukwu Ogadimma; Advisor: -; Participants: Uzairu, Adamu; Abechi, Stephen Eyije (2020) - The investigated compounds were able to scavenge HOO· and CH3OO· radicals by HAT and SPLET mechanisms in the gas phase and aqueous solution, based on the computed results of reaction enthalpies and Gibbs free energy. The SET-PT mechanism for these compounds was observed to be thermodynamically unfeasible in the gas phase. However, the thermodynamic feasibility of free radical scavenge by SET-PT mechanism was observed in aqueous solution. Among the investigated compounds, MCC 009 (1E,4E)-1-(3-(aminomethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-hydroxy-3-((hydroxy (methyl)amino) methyl)phenyl) penta-1,4-dien-3-one at the 19-OH position possessed the highest capacity to scavenge both HOO· and CH3OO· radicals by HAT, SET-PT, and SPLET mechanisms.

Authors: Kora, Aruna Jyothi; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2020) - Se-enriched mushrooms are produced by cultivation on substrates enriched with either inorganic or organic forms of Se and Se-hyperaccumulated agricultural residues. Edible mushrooms accumulate Se from substrate into selenoproteins and selenoenzymes as selenomethionine and selenocysteine, the organic and most bioavailable forms of Se. Without affecting the biological efficiency, the enrichment process enhances the total protein and total phenolic content and bioaccessibility of trace elements. The antioxidant action was higher for Se-fortified mushrooms in terms of total phenolics, total antioxidant, 1, 1-diphenyl-dipicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, metal chelating, and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities in comparison with unfortified mushrooms. Also, Se-enriched mushrooms are ...

Authors: Fapetu, Aanuoluwapo Patricia; Advisor: -; Participants: Karigidi, Kayode Olayele; Akintimehin, Emmanuel Sina; Olawuwo, Tomilayo; Adetuyi, Foluso Olutope (2022) - Moringa oleifera leaf is a prominent leaf in folk medicine used to treat many diseases including diabetes mellitus. This study is aimed at determining the effects of substitution of wheat flour with Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) on physical, nutritional, bioactive, antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of cookies. Wheat flour was substituted with MOLP (2.5%, 5% and 10%) in the baking of the cookies (C1, C2 and C3, respectively), and its effects were evaluated on proximate, bioactive compounds, antioxidant, physical and inhibitory properties against α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes using standard methods. Also, sensory attributes of the cookies were determined using 9-point hedonic point.

Authors: Dawood, Mona G.; Advisor: -; Participants: Sadak, Mervat Sh.; Bakry, Bakry A.; Kheder, Howida H. (2020) - The results indicate that the Gemmeiza-11 cultivar was the most adapted cultivar to grow in the Nubaria region. Individually, glutathione at 300 mg/l or selenium at 10 mg/l caused the highest significant increases in shoot dry weight/plant of three wheat cultivars relative to other levels. Likewise, glutathione treatment at 300 mg/l was the optimum treatment in increasing photosynthetic pigments in three wheat cultivars. Selenium treatment at 10 mg/l was better than selenium treatment at 5 mg/l. Interaction between glutathione at 300 mg/l and selenium at 10 mg/l caused the highest significance increases in total photosynthetic pigments. It is obvious that glutathione at 300 mg/l or selenium at 10 mg/l as individual treatment showed the highest significant increase in grain yield (to...

Authors: Pandi, Anandakumar; Advisor: -; Participants: Kalappan, Vanitha Manickam; Chandrashekar, Naveenkumar (2022) - The awareness in the consumption of plant-based food has gained attention in the recent years. Phytochemicals are thought to play a critical role in health promotion and in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. These compounds have reported to produce little or no side effects and are thus significantly used in treating various ailments. D-Pinitol is the chief active compound found in soy and soy products. Several studies have shown the health benefits of D-pinitol such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. In this review, an attempt has been made to review the effects of D-pinitol against diabetes mellitus in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

A.; Batiha, Gaber E.; Idowu, Nike; Alorabi, Mohammed; Faidah, Hani (2022) - The total phenolic contents of A. cepa and A. Sativum are represented in Figs. 1 and 2 and Table 1. The phenolic contents of A. cepa (onions) and A. sativum (garlic) are interpreted in Table 1 for both the aqueous extract and ethanol extracts. The highest phenolic content was observed in the A. cepa aqueous extract and the lowest in A. sativum ethanol extracts. Garlic, red, brown, and white onions showed a varying number of phytochemicals. The aqueous extract of A. cepa (0.5550 ± 0.36) and A. Sativum (0.2543 ± 0.21) was significantly higher in phenolic content compared to the ethanolic extract (0.1520 ± 0.15) and 0.1322 ± 0.10, respectively
