Proximate Composition and In Vitro Bioactive Properties of Leaf Extracts from Seven Viola Species

Foods, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 302 - 302

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

Viola, an edible wild plant, is valued for its distinctive flavor and health-promoting properties. This study examines the proximate composition, bioactive compounds, in vitro biological activities of seven Viola leaves (Viola prionantha, collina, acuminata, variegata, tokubuchiana var. takedana, mirabilis, philippica). Findings reveal that species are rich phenolic compounds (131.13 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g fresh weight (FW)-384.80 GAE/100 FW), flavonoids (13.09 rutin (RE)/100 FW-40.08 RE/100 fatty acids (palmitic acid, linoleic oleic α-linolenic acid), essential minerals, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium. The leaf extracts demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase (84.17%) pancreatic lipase (77.54%) at a concentration 1 extract per milliliter solution. Additionally, activity leaves, particularly their antioxidant capacity, associated with flavonoid content, caffeic contributing up to 35.2% total isoquercitrin being one most bioavailable flavonoids. These results indicate offers potential notable health benefits, presenting valuable addition enhancing modern dietary patterns overall health.

Aged Biodegradable Nanoplastics Enhance Body Accumulation Associated with Worse Neuronal Damage in Caenorhabditis elegans

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 1, 2025

The environmental and health challenges posed by petroleum-based biodegradable plastics, such as polybutylene succinate (PBS) polybutyleneadipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), are a significant concern because they increasingly present in the environment contribute substantial proportion of microplastics (MPs) or nanoplastics (NPs). In this study, ultraviolet (UV)-aged PBS-NPs PBAT-NPs found to have higher propensity accumulate within body Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) prolonging defecation interval, which could induce severe neuronal damage compared pristine NPs. increased accumulation (BNPs) subsequent impairments neurobehavior highly attributed their reduced particle size altered surface properties, including changed chemical bonds functional groups after photoaging. Aged BNPs also cause more GABAergic neurons neurotransmitter receptors, resulting disrupted homeostasis behaviors. Overall, both PBS PBAT components show no differences biological mechanisms neural damage, highlighting commonalities characteristics adverse effects on nervous system. Our study opens up exploration impacts photoaging degradation state that environment.

Biodegradable microplastics induce profound changes in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) defense mechanisms and to some extent deteriorate growth traits

Environmental Pollution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 363, P. 125307 - 125307

Published: Nov. 12, 2024

The development of agricultural technologies has intensified the use plastic in this sector. Products degradation, such as microplastics (MPs), potentially threaten living organisms, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Thus, biodegradable materials have been introduced to agriculture. However, effects substitutes on soil ecosystems are even less known than those traditional ones. Here, we studied environmentally relevant concentrations MPs prepared from a (a starch-polybutylene adipate terephthalate blend, PBAT-BD-MPs) growth defense mechanisms lettuce (Lactuca sativa) CLIMECS system (CLImatic Manipulation ECosystem Samples). PBAT-BD-MPs highest negatively affected some traits growth, i.e., dry weight percentage, specific leaf area, both C N contents. We observed more profound changes plant physiology biochemistry, decreased chlorophyll content triggered concerted response against oxidative stress. In conclusion, exposure induced stress activated mechanisms, leading homeostasis that sustained Our study highlights need for in-depth understanding effect bioplastics plants.
