| Summary: | The nutritional and antinutritional composition of Strobilanthes
crispus (L. ) Bremek or Saricocalyx crispus (L.) Bremek (Acanthacea) , and its
anticancer effect during hepatocarcinogenesis were studied to investigate the
possible cancer suppressive effect of the component existed in the leaves. The
nutritional composition studied were of the proximate composition and
antioxidant activity of ferric thiocyanate and thiobarbituric acid methods.
The antinutritional factors studied were catechin, tannin, caffeine and
alkaloid. All data were compared to Yerbamate, green tea, black tea and
Indian tea. The leaves contained high amount of water soluble vitamins and
total ash leading to high amount of minerals such as potassium, calcium,
sodium, iron and phosphorus. The leaves contained low level of
antinutritional factors contributing to better absorption of iron and water
soluble vitamins. Its catechins showed highest antioxidant activity when
compared to Yerbamate and Vitamin E. |
