The Chinese yam (Dioscorea polystachya, DP) is known for the nutritional value of its tuber. Nevertheless, DP also has promising pharmacological properties. Compared with tuber, leaves are still very little studied. However, it may be possible to draw conclusions about plant quality based on coloration leaves. Magnesium, as a component chlorophyll, seems play role. Therefore, aim this research work was develop an atomic absorption spectrometry-based method analysis magnesium (285.2125 nm) in leaf extracts following graphite furnace sub-technique. optimization pyrolysis and atomization temperatures resulted 1500 °C 1800 °C, respectively. general presence flavonoids detected could explain high temperature due potential complexation magnesium. elaborated had linearity range 1–10 µg L−1 (R2 = 0.9975). limits detection quantification amounted 0.23 2.00 L−1, characteristic mass 0.027 pg, recovery 96.7–102.0%. Finally, applied prepared from differently colored DP. Similar contents were obtained made dried fresh It often assumed that yellowing associated reduced content. results indicated yellow not lower levels. This stimulates future considering other essential minerals such molybdenum or manganese.

Bulbil of yam (BY) extract contains various active compounds possessing many pharmacological properties. However, little is known about the effect and underlying mechanism BY on ethanol-induced liver damage. The present study explored beneficial potential hepatotoxicity. To evaluate its effectiveness, HepG2 cells were pretreated with extract. effectively rescued from ethanol treatment through inhibition apoptotic cell death as well inhibiting expression mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) proteins stress inducers. increased typical antioxidants. Furthermore, significantly inhibited mitochondrial dysfunction endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which are major ROS-inducing factors. Finally, an protective effects damage, it activated Nrf2 translocation cytosol to nucleus, in turn target oxidative suppressor genes. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that has antioxidative contributes establishment a strategy for alcohol-derived injuries.

ABSTRACT Dioscorea oppositifolia L., also known as Cinnamon vine, has a longstanding history in traditional medicine due to its diverse bioactive compounds. However, comprehensive scientific evaluations of phytochemical properties and therapeutic potential are still limited. This study provides an updated analysis nutritional composition, compounds, pharmacological properties, emphasizing applications. A literature review was conducted using Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed/MedLine, covering studies published between 2022 2023. Key constituents such diosgenin dioscorine were identified evaluated for their biological activities, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer, antimicrobial effects. The plant exhibits notable antioxidant activity by reducing oxidative stress, while anti‐inflammatory effects linked cytokine inhibition. Antidiabetic evidenced blood glucose modulation improved insulin sensitivity. Anticancer include apoptosis induction suppression cancer cell proliferation. Additionally, shows efficacy against various bacterial fungal strains. Due broad‐spectrum bioactivities rich profile, emerges promising candidate pharmaceutical further research, clinical trials bioavailability studies, is essential fully harness facilitate integration into modern medicine.

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment has been widely used to achieve the desired safety and quality of food products during past two decades. In this work, effects HHP (100–600 MPa) pretreatments on physicochemical properties, bioactive components antioxidant activities dehydrated yam slices were studied. The results indicated that dramatically improved hardness, crispness, integrity ratio, total color change slices, while significantly inhibited their rehydration ratio when was ≥200 MPa. According scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical (OM), polarized (POM), could induce indentations cracks partly starch granules surface, but without any gelatinization. Compared with control sample, higher polyphenols compounds (TPC) allantoin content observed in pretreated samples, 200 MPa sample had highest TPC which reached 0.45 mg GAE/g 5.47 mg/g dry weight, respectively. Furthermore, analysis showed 100 pretreatment effectively enhance capacity slices. above suggested pretreatment, especially under MPa, be an appropriate assist for preparation high-quality
