  Nutrient composition of some edible wild plants with high nutritional value in Eastern Türkiye

  Bakacak, Mustafa; Gul, Volkan

  The demand for edible wild plants for their health and high nutritional content has increased dramatically worldwide. Although some wild plant species are eaten as vegetables, information on their nutritional content is limited. This study provides interesting, useful data (moisture, dry matter, ash, organic matter, protein, and mineral content) on the nutritional value of ten wild plant species traditionally consumed in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye. These species are Arum rupicola var. virescens, Allium vineale, Rumex crispus, Satureja hortensis, Scorzonera mollis subsp. szowitzii, Eremurus spectabilis, Urtica dioica, Gundelia glabra, Rheum ribes, and Ferula orientalis, According to the results obtained; dry matter ratio varied between 6.03–10.77%, organic matter ratio varied between 80.63–93.65%, protein ratio varied between 9.94–35.71%, P content varied between 112.38–806.54 mg/100 g, K content varied between 1597.46–7980.06 mg/100 g, Mg content varied between 214.64–704.84 mg/100 g, Ca content varied between 142.6.2–1157.53 mg/100 g and Fe content varied between 14.20–460.32 mg/100 g. Urtica dioica gave the best results in terms of protein, P, Mg, Ca, Na, and Cu, while Scorzonera mollis subsp. szowitzii gave the best results in terms of Mn and Cu. These new findings suggest that the obtained plants can be considered a valuable source of nutrients in human nutrition and will allow their inclusion in food nutrient databases.

  Biological activity of Psephellus appendicigerus as a natural agent

  Acet, Tuba; Özcan, Kadriye; Sefalı, Abdurrahman

  Psephellus appendicigerus, is a plant endemic to Turkey, belonging to the Asteraceae family, which is traditionally used in folk medicine in Turkey. The aim of this study is to reveal for the first time the biological activities of this plant and evaluate its potential use as a natural product. For this reason, different extracts (ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) of the plant’s aerial parts were used in determining the antioxidant (2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assays), antimicrobial (disc diffusion and microdilution methods), and enzyme inhibition activity (calorimetric methods) related to diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). Moreover, the phenolic constituents were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography. Methanol extract of the plant exhibited significant biological activity compared to other extracts. This extract had the highest amount of chlorogenic acid as phenolic compound. In addition, all extracts showed inhibition against at least one test microorganism. According to the results, P. appendicigerus has the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant, antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitor.
