introduction to corchorus olitorius

The plant grows well in the lowland tropics, ranging from warm temperate zones through tropical desert to wet forest life zones. Corchorus olitorius L. (Nalta jute or tossa jute) is widely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical region. Injections of olitoriside, an extract from the plant, markedly improve cardiac insufficiencies and have no cumulative attributes; hence, it can serve as a substitute for strophanthin (http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Corchorus+olitorius, Corchorus olitorius L.). However, based on the computed anti-diabetic/anti-hypertensive potency ratio (ψ) of the reported medicinal plants, only few of them (12%) and certain extracts appear to be promising for further investigation as potential dual therapeutic agents for diabetes and hypertension. 1. The flowers are yellow and small and form into clusters in the axils of the leaves. Corchorus olitorius ingår i släktet Corchorus och familjen malvaväxter. and Corchorus olitorius displayed antimicrobial activities. INTRODUCTION: Section A. (gentianaceae) were compared to that of acarbose, while their ACE inhibitory activity was not compared to a positive control (Loizzo et al., 2008). (Rutaceae) and Zygophyllum album L.f.

(apiaceae), Cosmos caudatus Kunth (Compositae), Carica papaya L. (caricaceae) and Manihot esculenta Crantz (euphorbiaceae), enzyme inhibition was observed to be low to moderate (Loh and Hadira, 2011). Cardenolide glycosides of the Corchorus (Tiliaceae) species have already been reported; erysimoside, olitoriside, corchoroside A and coroloside were isolated as constituents of the seeds of tossa jute (C. olitorius)1, 2, 3. $*�V��`��a�l��*��7Ǉ[��J 100036 ISSN: 2665-9727 <>endobj Vitamin A is known to play an important role in cell immunity and oxidative stress.

Historical Background. (See CASSAVA | The Nature of the Tuber; PLANT ANTINUTRITIONAL FACTORS | Detoxification.). Thus, they do not appear very promising for further investigation as dual therapeutic agents, except for very mild cases of the diseases. The seeds are purgative. Moreover, the HX extract of A. glomerata was not as potent as chloroform (CL) extract of E. centaurium (IC50 ≃ 74.9, 64.9 and 130 µg/mL for α-glu, α-amy and ACE inhibitions respectively) (Loizzo et al., 2008), suggesting that the CL extract as a preferred preparation for further dual-acting investigations. (Polygonaceae), Sarcocephalus latifolius (Sm.) For example, one of the main ingredients in the preparation of G. africanum or leaves of M. esculenta, or Corchorus olitorius (jute mallow leaves) in many sub-Saharan African countries is red palm oil or palm kernel juice. In amaranth, under certain conditions, the nitrate content of leaves exceeds tolerable limits. The plant is native to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. (2017) reported that Malaysian seaweeds, Sargassum polycystum C.Agardh, 1824 and Sargassum siliquosum J.Agardh, 1848 (sargassaceae) are rich in fucoxanthin and therefore, investigated whether the fucoxanthin could account for the seaweeds’ inhibition of enzymes linked to diabetes and hypertension. Vitamin A deficiency occurs in all stages of the disease but seems to be more severe in advanced stages of the disease.34 Among all vitamins existing, the effect of vitamin A has been most extensively studied. Calcium oxalate, present in the form of fine crystals in the leaves of taro, causes itching of the fingers and a pricking sensation on the tongue and throat. Dry seed yields per plant ranged from 9.8g to 235.0g among 15 accessions grown during the dry season (November 1980-February 1981) in contrast to 2.6g produced by a commercial cultivar (oniyaya) in the previous rainy season (March -May 1980). Both of these problems can be eliminated by boiling and discarding the cooking water. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.

Md. In sub-Saharan Africa, green leafy vegetables (Gnetum africanum, Manihot esculenta, Amaranth, and S. retroflexum) are rich sources of vitamin A. In addition, red palm oil is highly available and cheap, and readily used in the preparation of most sauces and dishes such as cowpea cake, and locally known in some African countries as koki or moi moi. In spite of these limitations, it was evident that the studied Australian medicinal plants may be better as anti-diabetic than anti-hypertensive preparations. Mustard leaves are considered an item of delicacy in the Indian subcontinent and are exported, after canning, for the ethnic population abroad. Introduction. Corchorus olitorius (Linn.)

Jew’s Mallow or Corchorus olitorius is a tropical, annual herb that is upright, branching, and slightly woody. The bark of C. capsularis and to a lesser extent that of C. olitorius constitute the chief source of the fibre jute, and these species are much cultivated in India and Bangladesh. In fact, the ACE inhibitory effect of captopril was 103 to 106 that of the extracts of these plants. It probably originated in China but is now grown in Bangladesh and India, and found spread across much of tropical Africa.

The leaves Accepted on March 4, 2017 Introduction Corchorus olitorius (Linn.) In fact, ACE inhibition of the MeOH extracts of S. polycystum and S. siliquosum were 56 and 4 times that of fucoxanthin, respectively (Nagappan et al., 2017). The most important of these are amaranth (Amaranthus sp. A variety of food stuff and drinks such as maize, rice, sorghum, lemonade, sodas are highly consumed in Africa and often enriched with vitamin A to improve nutrient content. Plant erect, it can grow to about 2 m tall; leaves are alternate, narrowly ovate to ovate, 3-veined at the base of the leaf blade, margins serrate, 2 lower teeth are elongated to form a pair of tails to 1.5 cm long. However, studies on C. olitorius’ Handbook of Energy Crops. The present study was carried out to evaluate the possible antibacterial activity of aqueous (AEMC), methanol (MEMC) and chloroform (CEMC) extracts of Muntingia calabura as well as methanol (MECO) and chloroform (CECO) extracts of Corchorus olitorius using the in vitro disc diffusion methods. Culinary plants of this family, such as Triumfetta cordifolia A. Corchorus olitorius L. which belongs to Tiliaceae family is a cultivated herbaceous plant highly consumed as traditional leafy vegetables in Benin. malchairii (De Wild.) Scientific name: Corchorus olitorius L. Common names: Jew’s mallow, Wild jute, Wildejute, Thelele, Delele and Gushe Family: Tiliaceae Origin and distribution The origin of Jew’s mallow is unknown, but it has reportedly been cultivat-ed for centuries, both in Asia and Africa. In Africa it is reported as a wild or cultivated vegetable in many countries including Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Egypt. Jute is a long, soft, shiny bast fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. Raw jute plays an important role in the country’s economy. Corchorus trilocularis is an annual plant growing 10 - 150cm tall. R.Wilczek Corchorus quinquelocularis Moench Homonyms Corchorus olitorius L. Common names Jew's-mallow in English Langkapsel-Jute in language. The plant is a very popular vegetable crop in many tropical countries, where it makes an excellent spinach substitute in areas with hot summers. Its leaves and roots eaten are as herbal medicine and as vegetable by local people in various part of middle and south east Asia (Zeghichi et al., 2003). Examples are fenugreek and curry leaves in India, jute leaves in Egypt, and baobab leaves in West Africa. In India, West Bengal occupies foremost place both in respect of area (73.5%) and production (82.26%) of jute. Aqueous extract of Corchorus olitorius decreases cytotoxicity of aflatoxin B 1 and fumonisin B 1 in H4IIE- luc cells Hepatoma Research is an open access journal and focuses on all topics related to hepatoma. x��[{�Grd�9�V{��}�t�w�� %�O\�"�Z�%P`��0y|�t��zHJJ��۷_��ͫ��7�W? Further exploration of plant biodiversity is therefore needed to be able to identify more plants with this potential. It is highly volatile, and therefore, any preparation that involves heating will render the leaves harmless. Corchorus olitorius is an annual crop. (See AMARANTH; MUSTARD AND CONDIMENT PRODUCTS.

Introduction INTRODUCTION Jute (Corchorus sp; 2n=14) is a natural fiber crop and is second in the world after cotton in terms of global production, consumption and availability. This plant has been grown around the world as a fibre crop as well as for food, now naturalised in Australia. Langkapseljute in German Nalta jute in English ambulamu in language. The plant is also cultivated as a leaf vegetable in the Caribbean, Brazil, India, Bangladesh, China, Japan, and the Middle East (http://uses.plantnet-project.org/en/Corchorus_olitorius_%28PROTA%29, Corchorus olitorius L.). Nagappan et al. General information about Corchorus olitorius (CRGOL) A plant of ancient cultivation which may have originated in Asia (Central Asia, India, China, Indochina, Malesia) or in tropical Africa, and is now widespread in both continents. It was observed that neither fucoxanthin-rich fraction nor fucoxanthin showed better enzymes inhibition than MeOH extract of these seaweeds. Corchorus olitorius L., is a culinary and medicinal herb, widely used as a vegetable in several countries in Asia. (Connaraceae), Corchorus olitorius L. (Tiliaceae), Costus afer Ker Gawl. It occurs in the wild on both con-tinents. Description. Chika Ifeanyi Chukwuma, ... Md. Corchorus, genus of some 40–100 species of flowering plants of the hibiscus, or mallow, family (Malvaceae). This can be removed by adding a little tamarind or citric acid to the cooking water and then discarding the water. However, it is difficult to comment on the efficacy of these Northern Australian plants, since the inhibitory activities of their respective positive controls (standard drugs) were not presented (Deo et al., 2016). The leaves are used in the treatment of cystitis, gonorrhoea, and dysuria. S.K. Roy, A.K. %PDF-1.4 Introduction Jute is an important natural fibre crop in India next to cotton.

Corchorus capsularis is an erect, annual shrub, with acute leaves, yellow five-petaled flowers and growing to two or more metres in height. <>endobj It can tolerate an annual precipitation between 400 and 4290 mm (optimum 1000 mm per year). Dietary fibre may help prevent certain cancers, such as cancer of the colon and rectum. Oxalic acid converts calcium from food consumed to insoluble calcium oxalate, rendering it unavailable for absorption. (Leguminosae), Hertia cheirifolia (L.)

Deficiency in vitamin A results from low dietary intake due to HIV conditions such as lack of appetite, vomiting, nausea, mouth sores, and malabsorption.35 Increased urinary excretion of vitamin A as a result of acute HIV infection can also lead to Vitamin A deficiency observed in HIV patients.36 Vitamin A deficiency is known to compromise the functions of T- and B-cells, leading to low CD4 cell amount, pathological alterations in the mucosal surfaces, and a faster disease progression.17,37 Evidence exists that vitamin A increase function of natural killer cells in vitro and supplementation of vitamin A is capable of modifying the phagocytic cell response by stimulating phagocytosis and cell-mediated cytotoxicity.9. Thus, fucoxanthin present in these seaweeds may only play a synergistic role in their enzyme inhibitory effects. Apart from C. asiatica, these Malaysian plants exhibited α-amy and ACE inhibitions only, without observable α-glu inhibition suggesting that these plants might not have appreciable dual therapeutic effects against diabetes and hypertension.
