Seaweeds are industrially exploited for obtaining pigments, polysaccharides, or phenolic compounds with application in diverse fields. Nevertheless, their rich composition in fiber, minerals, and proteins, has pointed them as a useful source of these components. Seaweed proteins are nutritionally valuable and include several specific enzymes, glycoproteins, cell wall-attached proteins, phycobiliproteins, lectins, or peptides. Extraction of seaweed proteins requires the application of disruptive methods due to the heterogeneous cell wall composition of each macroalgae group. Hence, non-protein molecules like phenolics or polysaccharides may also be co-extracted, affecting the extraction yield. Therefore, depending on the macroalgae and target protein characteristics, the sample pretreatment, extraction and purification techniques must be carefully chosen. Traditional methods like solid–liquid or enzyme-assisted extraction (SLE or EAE) have proven successful. However, alternative techniques as ultrasound- or microwave-assisted extraction (UAE or MAE) can be more efficient. To obtain protein hydrolysates, these proteins are subjected to hydrolyzation reactions, whether with proteases or physical or chemical treatments that disrupt the proteins native folding. These hydrolysates and derived peptides are accounted for bioactive properties, like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or antihypertensive activities, which can be applied to different sectors. In this work, current methods and challenges for protein extraction and purification from seaweeds are addressed, focusing on their potential industrial applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

The effects of winter and spring sowing and chemical, organic, and biological fertilizer sources were studied on yield components and antioxidant properties of dragon’s head (Lallemantia iberica (M. Bieb.) Fisch. & C. A. Mey) in a field experiment in the 2017–2018 growing season with three replications and six treatments. The fertilizer treatments including (i) manure (6.3 ton ha−1), (ii) NPK fertilizer (urea: 110 kg ha−1 + triple superphosphate: 60 kg ha−1 + potassium sulfate: 50 kg ha−1 + micronutrients: 23 kg ha−1), (iii) vermicompost (6.8 ton ha−1), (iv) humic acid (400 kg ha−1), and (v) thiobacillus (2%) + granular sulfur (400 kg ha−1) were recorded. The winter sowing was advantageous over the spring sowing, as better results were obtained for seed yield per plant, essential oil content and yield, mucilage content and yield, and antioxidant components of dragon’s head. The measurement of biochemical traits showed that the growth and nutritional conditions of dragon’s head can affect its antioxidant activity so that the winter-sown plants fertilized with thiobacillus, vermicompost, or NPK fertilizer had higher antioxidant activity. It was also found that different parts of the dragon’s head plants varied in antioxidant properties so that this activity was greater in seeds than in the leaves. In total, the results showed that the winter sowing of this plant would be better for its yield in the Azerbaijan region (Iran) and it is recommended to fertilize this plant species with vermicompost and thiobacillus.

: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complicated metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance. It is considered as a new pandemic whose control is creating numerous challenges. Although many of the measures are based on improving life habits, diet is also of vital importance due to bioactive compounds present in food. In this regard, several raw materials have been investigated whose bioactivities seem to slow the progression of this disease. Within these matrices there are algae of importance, such as brown algae, showing to have beneficial effects on glycemic control. These evidences are increasing every day due to the development of cell or animal models which leads to the conclusion that bioactive compounds may have direct effects on decreasing hyperglycemia, enhancing insulin secretion and preventing formation of amyloid plaques.

Rosehip (pseudo-fruit) of dog rose ( Rosa canina L.) is highly valued, and owing to nutritional and sensory properties it has a significant place in the food industry. This work represents an innovative report focusing on the evaluation of the phytochemical composition of rosehips (hypanthium and seed) grown in different locations in Serbia, using Raman microspectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis. Some significant differences arose between the analysed rosehip samples with regard to the chemical profile of both hypanthium parenchyma cells and seed, although no evident discrimination was recorded between the samples of wild and cultivated rosehip. The differences between the hypanthium samples compared were mainly determined by the content of carotenoids, phenolic compounds and polysaccharides, whereas phenolics, polysaccharides (pectin, cellulose and hemicellulose) and lipids (to a lower extent) contributed to the seed sample discrimination. The differences observed between the rosehip samples may be attributed to abiotic factors (growing, ripening and storage conditions), which had a significant impact on the carotenoid and polyphenols biosynthesis.

Vegetables are important contributors to a healthy diet, and their adequate daily intake can help prevent some of the major illnesses. The aim of the study was to examine the content of the major and trace elements in selected organically grown (OG) and conventionally grown (CG) vegetables (cabbage, kohlrabi, Brussels sprout, beetroot, carrot, potato, and onion), taken from city green markets. Multi-elemental analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma method with optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Nutritional quality evaluation in comparison to nutritional reference values was done. In studied vegetables, Al, Ca, K, Fe (with the exception of organic kohlrabi), Mg, Na, P, S, and Zn were quantified in all samples, whereas As, Cd, Co, Hg, Se, and V were below the limit of detection for these elements. Macroelements and trace elements were found at higher concentrations in OG and CG vegetables, respectively. Differences in concentrations of studied elements between the same vegetable species produced in two agricultural systems were significant, except for beetroot (p ≤ 0.05). Principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis results showed that the botanical origin had higher influence on sample differentiation than the agronomic practice, which was in accordance with the results obtained by Mann-Whitney U test. Good quality of both OG and CG vegetables in respect of nutritionally beneficial elements was observed.

The effects of sowing season and nano-fertilizer source were studied on the morphological traits, biochemical compounds, and elements of dragon’s heads in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and three replications at the research farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Urmia University in the 2017–2018 crop year. The experimental treatments were composed of two sowing seasons including spring and winter and six fertilization treatments including control, soil-incorporated NPK (NPK-s), nano-NPK (NPK-n), nano-chelated Fe (Fe), nano-NPK + nano-chelated Fe (NPK-n + Fe), soil-incorporated NPK + nano-NPK + nano-chelated (NPK-s + NPK-n + Fe). Based on the results, the interaction of the winter sowing and NPK-n + Fe produced the highest leaf area index, 1000-seed weight, and biological yield. In addition, the winter-sown plants treated with NPK-n + Fe exhibited higher chlorophyll and carotenoid contents and NPK contents. But, proline content was higher in the interaction of the spring sowing and the control. The same treatment also produced the highest carbohydrate content. Overall, the results indicate that the sowing season and fertilizer source have a significant impact on the quantitative and qualitative yield of dragon’s heads in Azerbaijan. Therefore, sowing season and fertilizer source should be simultaneously taken into account to attain a superior crop considering the environmental conditions.

The present study aimed to explore the effect of synthetic and naturally occurring chelators, EDTA and citric acid (CA), respectively, on changes in physiological and biochemical factors including cell death, level of mercury ions accumulation, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, total phenol and total flavonoids, anthocyanins and DPPH free radical scavenging activity, in the leaves of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) plants exposed to mercury stress. In addition, polyphenolic compounds profile was assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The okras were planted in completely controlled hydroponic conditions (Hoagland solution). After they reached the four-leaf stage, they were treated simultaneously with different concentrations of HgCl2, EDTA and CA chelators, and their combination for one month. At the stage of maturity, the physiological and biochemical factors of the plant leaves were measured. The results showed that with the application of higher concentration of HgCl2, cell death, level of shoot and root Hg2+ content and root MDA, total phenols and total flavonoids, anthocyanin content, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity were increased. Also, the results indicated that okra plants have high biomass and a high rate of Hg mobilization and accumulation in the shoot versus the roots (TF = 2.152 for the plants treated with 60 mg L−1 Hg2+), hence, can be considered as Hg hyperaccumulator plant for the phytoremediation of Hg-polluted soils and waters. In the Hg-treated plants changes in their phenolic profile were induced, and the increase of chlorogenic acid, rosmaric acid, apigenin, quercetin and rutin content was observed. The application of EDTA and CA improved the toxic effects of Hg2+, by modifying phenolic compounds, chelating Hg2+, and its proper compartmentation, while EDTA outperformed CA in this respect. Based on the results, it could be concluded that due to the high biomass and growth of okra in the presence of Hg2+, this plant is suitable for phytoremediation of soil and water contaminated with mercury. In addition, EDTA and CA can play a significant role in removing this toxic metal through transferring it from the culture medium to the plant.

Dragon’s head is a multifunctional plant with diverse applications so that all its parts, including its leaves and seeds, have nutritional value. For the sake of appropriate agricultural management to enhance plant quality and quantity, the effects of sowing season and chemical—nano-fertilizer sources were explored on plant oil content and fatty acid compositions in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments included two sowing seasons (spring and winter) and six fertilizer treatments (control, NPKsoil, NPKnano, chelated-Fenano, NPKnano + chelated-Fenano, NPKsoil + NPKnano + chelated-Fenano). The studied traits included grain yield, oil percentage and yield, unsaturated fatty acids (linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids), and saturated fatty acids (stearic and palmitic acids). The results showed that the interactive effects of sowing season (winter) and NPKnano + chelated-Fenano were significant on the grain yield. Moreover, the simple effects of winter sowing and NPKsoil, NPKnano, chelated-Fenano treatments showed the highest oil percentage and yield among which NPKsoil + NPKnano + chelated-Fenano and NPKnano + chelated-Fenano had similar effects, so regarding these traits, it is recommended to exclude NPKsoil from the fertilizer combination. However, the treatment of NPKsoil + NPKnano + chelated-Fenano performed well in enhancing unsaturated fatty acids as an advantage of this fertilizer combination. In general, the combined use of the growing season and nano-fertilizer is recommended to increase the quantity and quality of plants, which is consistent with the goals of sustainable agriculture as well.

Twenty-six major and trace elements, in the seed and the mesocarp of wild and cultivated rosehips from different locations in Serbia, were quantified by means of inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP–AES). The cultivated rosehip was investigated for the first time. In both wild and cultivated rosehips, the most abundant elements were K and Ca. Among trace elements, Mn (in both seed and mesocarp); Fe (in seeds); and B, Ba, and Sr (in mesocarp) were quantified in the highest concentrations. The higher content of Cu, K, Mn, P, and S in the seed of cultivated rosehip, as well as Ca, Mg, and Sr in the mesocarp of wild rosehip, was observed, both significant at p < 0.05. Additionally, differences between the seed and the mesocarp of studied rosehip were noticed in the content of B, Cu, Fe, K, Ni, P, S, Sr, and Ti (p < 0.05). Nutritional assessment revealed that both wild and cultivated rosehips are a valuable source of essential elements (Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, and P). The absence of toxic and potentially toxic elements additionally contributes to the quality of studied Serbian rosehip. A high impact of factors such as variety, location, as well as their interaction on the content of elements in cultivated rosehip mesocarp and seed was observed. Pattern recognition techniques, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were applied in order to provide insight into similarities among the analyzed samples.

The yield of crops is threatened significantly by drought in various parts of the world. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the potential of mycorrhiza fungi in reducing water stress effect on sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) by assessing antioxidant activity. The experiment was carried out as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design, in two cropping seasons. The main factor consisted of different levels of irrigation whereas subplot included two different species of mycorrhiza fungi namely, Funneliformis mosseae and Rhizophagus irregularis, applied separately. A non-inoculated subplot served as the control one. Plant biomass, grain yield, amounts of chlorophyll a and b and relative water content decreased with the severity of water stress. At the same time, the amount of proline, malondialdehyde level and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants increased significantly. Severe water stress reduced the biomass and grain yield by approximately 51% and 65%, respectively. Oxidative damage (hydrogen peroxide and MDA content) induced by water stress was significantly reduced in colonized plants. Compared with the control plot, using two species of mycorrhiza fungi caused an increase in biomass, grain yield, relative water content and all enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant activities; however, the improvement in plant water status led to significantly decreased proline. Obtained results indicated that mycorrhiza fungi can enhance the enzymatic antioxidant activities that resulted in scavenging free radicals and improving resistance to water stress.

Potato is currently the third most significant crop culture in the world, with the production of over 388 million tons in 2016. This crop is present on the tables of Serbian consumers throughout the year because of the tradition and its affordable price. Serbia has relatively good climatic conditions for potato production, which are defined by the temperature regime and the amount and frequency of precipitation. The nutritive value of the potato is mainly attributed to the chemical composition of the tuber. The element composition of tubers depends on many factors, such as: genotype, developmental phase of the plant, agroecological conditions, chemical properties of soil, fertilization and irrigation. On the other hand, geochemical origin of trace elements in the soil, the intensive agriculture production, use of contaminated soil and irrigation water may increase their toxic levels in tubers.
Potato tubers of five varieties were produced on commercial farms at two locations in Western Serbia (Guča and Sjenica), with favorable agroecological conditions for potato production. Tuber samples of studied varieties from each location were collected at the end of growing seasons at the stage of physiological maturity. Soil samples were collected from several sites at each production location at the depth of 0–30 cm. Basic agrochemical properties of the soil samples were determined. Content of toxic (As, Cd, Pb) and potentially toxic (Al, Ba, Ni, V) elements in fresh tubers (peel and core) and soil samples was established by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of each studied element, as the ratio between its content in the peel and in the core of the tuber and the soil, was calculated.
According to pH values, 4.77 and 6.80, soils were clasified as very acidic (Guča location) and slightly acidic (Sjenica location), respectively. Content of studied trace elements in soils, with the exception of Ni, was within the allowable limits. Tuber peel of all studied varieties grown on both soil types was characterized with the higher content of Cd, Al, Ba and Ni, compared to the relevant core. Consenquently, the higher values of BAF were observed in the peel of tubers. Average values of BAF for the studied elements in the peel for both soil pH values 4.77 and 6.80 (Guča and Sjenica, respectively) were in the following order: Cd>Ba>Pb>As>Ni>Al=V. On the other hand, average BAF values for the core of the tuber samples were in a slightly different order, depending on the soil pH; Cd>Pb>As>Ba>Ni>Al=V (pH 4.77) and Cd>Pb>As>Ba=Ni>V (pH 6.80). The highest/lowest BAFs were calculated for Cd (0.339) in the peel and Al (0.0002) in the core, respectively. Content of As and Cd did not exeed the maximum allowed concentrations set by the national and European Union regulations, but it should be pointed out that Cd content was close to the upper limit. Also, it was noticed that the content of Pb exceeded the safe limit set for these elements according to both regulations.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease which causes millions of death all over the world each year, and its incidence is on increase. The most prevalent form, type 2 DM, is characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, whereas type 1 DM is due to insulin deficiency as a result of β-cell destruction. Various classes of synthetic drugs have been developed to regulate glucose homeostasis and combat the development of late-diabetic complications. However, several of these chemical agents are either sub-optimal in their effect and/or may have side effects. Biologically, alkaloids unveiled a wide range of therapeutic effects including anti-diabetic properties. The chemical backbones of these compounds have the potential to interact with a wide range of proteins involved in glucose homeostasis, and thus they have received increasing attention as reliable candidates for drug development. This review sets out to investigate the anti-diabetic potential of plant alkaloids (PAs), and therefore, scientific databases were comprehensively screened to highlight the biological activity of 78 PAs with a considerable anti-diabetic profile. There are not enough clinical data available for these phytochemicals to follow their fingerprint in human, but current studies generally recommending PAs as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors. Except for some classes of monoterpene alkaloids, other compounds showed similar features as well as the presently available anti-diabetic drugs such as amino sugars and other relevant drugs. Moreover, the evidence suggests that PAs have the potential to be used as alternative additives for the treatment of DM, however, further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate these findings.

Balangu (Lallemantia sp.) is a medicinal herb with a variety of applications, all parts of which have economic uses, including leaf for extraction of essential oils, as a vegetable and potherb, seed for extraction of mucilage and edible or industrial oil. To investigate the effect of cultivation season and standard chemical and nano fertilizers (n) on the yield components and antioxidant properties of Dragon’s head, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted with 12 treatments and three replications. Experimental treatments consisted of two seasons (spring and winter cultivation) and six levels of fertilizer (control, NPK-s, NPK-n, Fe-chelated-n, NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n, NPK-s + NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n). The traits included grain yield per plant, essential oil percentage and yield, mucilage percentage and yield, antioxidant properties in the seeds and leaves, including total phenols and flavonoids content, DPPH radical scavenging, and nitric oxide and superoxide radical scavenging. The results showed that winter cultivation had a noticeable advantage over spring cultivation across all of the traits. The highest grain yield per plant was obtained in winter cultivation using NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n fertilizer treatment. The highest essential oil percentage was in NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n. The highest mucilage percentage was observed in NPK-s + NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n fertilizer treatment, which was not statistically different to NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n treatment. The combined effects of winter cultivation and NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n fertilizers resulted in improving antioxidant activity traits. Overall, the results indicated that the combination of winter cultivation and NPK-n + Fe-chelated-n fertilizers are the most appropriate treatment to acquire highest qualitative and quantitative yield of Dragon’s head, in the Azerbaijan region (Iran).

Nanotechnology is an exciting field of research; numerous versatile nanoparticles can be synthesized into a range of sizes, shapes, and chemical compositions, ultimately offering extensive applications for humans. Correct synthesis, manipulation, and use of metal NPs grant them with unique thermal, optical and electronic properties. In material science, ‘green’ synthesis has been considered a reliable, sustainable and environmentally-friendly protocol. Non-toxic and environmentally-friendly methods have been developed for synthesis of metal/metal oxide NPs. These techniques use live organisms such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae, and plants and their tissues and extracts. The biomolecules of natural extracts, such as enzymes, flavonoids, phenols, and terpenoids can be used as reducing agents of metal ions to metal NPs. Whilst the physical and chemical techniques used in traditional synthesis methods have raised environmental concerns due to use of hazardous chemicals and their possible emissions to the environment, green methods have made it possible to develop a simple, rapid, and environmentally-friendly means of synthesizing NPs. NPs produced by green methods are usually more stable and do not require application of chemical stabilizers; as a result, toxic residues do not enter the environment. Green-synthesized NPs have extensive applications for their antibacterial and antifungal properties and may be used as either plant growth stimulators or inhibitors, depending on their type, size, and shape, as well as the specific plant species.

Nanoparticles (NPs) are extremely small units occurring at the scale of nanometers (nm) which have been synthesized from both chemical and natural sources. The applicability of these particles has expanded over the past decade so that thousands of useful applications are now attributed to these remarkable particles. The impact of nanotechnology on medicine and other branches of material science suggests that researchers can craft particles for improving and developing agricultural products. The potential benefits of different types of NPs for enhancing the sustainable growth of plants have evaluated under in vitro and greenhouse conditions; results show that nanoparticles cause both positive and adverse effects to plants. In some cases, NPs trigger the growth of aerial parts of plants; for other species, no benefits are observed, and in others, growth of target plants decrease or are partially inhibited. Introduction of nanoparticles to agricultural systems, after consideration of possible safety concerns and possible side effects to crop plants and soil ecosystems, may be helpful to farmers for enhancing crop growth, and for conserving arable lands and managing them sustainably. This chapter aims to present and briefly discuss several nanoparticles and report potential side-effects to plants and soil microorganisms.

Vegetables play an important role in human nutrition and their importance in diet is determined by its chemical composition. Numerous studies indicate a high degree of contamination of soil and plants produced in certain agro-ecological conditions, especially near urban and industrial areas. Accordingly, toxic and potentially toxic elements (aluminum, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, lead and zinc) were quantified in edible parts of four vegetable species (potato, cabbage, carrot and broccoli) by means of inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). In addition, health risk assessment was done and expressed through estimated weekly intake of elements (EWI) and hazard quotient (HQ). Samples of each species originating from different localities were collected from three green markets in the city of Belgrade (Serbia). The content of studied elements ranged from 1.32 to 4.00, 0.31 to 5.77, 3.50 to 23.11, 1.82 to 11.17 and 2.11 to 10.62 mg/kg for aluminum, cooper, manganese, nickel and zinc, respectively. Chromium was detected in carrot sample (1.76 mg/kg), whereas concentration of lead in two samples of broccoli exceeded the maximum allowed concentration (>0.3 mg/kg) set by the national regulations. The average estimated weekly intakes for Al, Cu, and Zn were within the safe limits set by FAO/WHO, while for Ni and Pb in some vegetables were considerably higher than proposed values. In respect to the obtained results, a great weekly health risk was indicated for chromium, nickel and lead with the highest HQ values: 2.44, 10.32 and 2.02, respectively. The results of the study impose the necessity for continuous monitoring of harmful elements content in individual vegetable crops as well as strict regulative guide-lines in order to diminish possibility of contamination.

Šipurak je pseudo-plod biljke ruže, jedne od najrasprostranjenijih divljih vrsta iz roda Rosa u Srbiji. Zahvaljujući nutritivnim i senzornim svojstvima, šipurak ima široku primenu u proizvodnji džemova, marmelada, sokova, čajeva itd. Semenke šipurka su otpadni materijal u prehrambenoj industriji koji predstavlja dobar izvor masnih kiselina. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se proceni profil masnih kiselina u semenkama šipurka primenom dve metode ekstrakcije: ultrazvučne ekstrakcije u kombinaciji sa ekstrakcijom organskim rastvaračem (UZE/KEOR) i konvencionalne ekstrakcije organskim rastvaračem (KEOR). Identifikacija masnih kiselina (MK), u formi metil estara, izvršena je metodom gasne hromatografije sa plameno-jonizujućim detektorom (GC/FID). Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, uočeno je da su primenjene metode ekstrakcije, kao i odnos rastvarača i mase uzorka, imali uticaj na sastav masnih kiselina i njihovu relativnu obilnost. Nezasićene masne kiseline (NMK) identifikovane su kao dominantne u većini ispitivanih uzoraka. Najzastupljenije masne kiseline su bile stearinska (48,11%), linolna (35,38%), palmitoleinska (33,78%) i eikosadienoinska kiselina (30,57%). ulje semenki šipurka; otpadni materijal; nezasićene masne kiseline; ultrazvučna ekstrakcija; GC-FID

Worldwide, among the forest products, wild edible mushrooms constitute an important part because they represent food source as well as income source for many local communities. Thirteen essential elements (Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn and Zn) and non-essential elements (Al, Cd, Ni and Pb) in wild edible mushrooms from six families (Agaricaceae, Auriculariaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Russulaceae, Suillaceae, and Tricholomataceae) originated from the Mediterranean region of Turkey were determined. Major element was K, followed by Ca, Mg, Fe and Al. Concentrations of detected elements were in the range from 0.05 mg/kg (Co) to 141,400 mg/kg (K). Health Risk Index for elements that may pose health problems indicated that safe limits were exceeded for Cd (L. nuda, L. decastes, M. exscissa, R. albonigra, R. delica and T. terreum), Ni (A. auricula-judae and S. luteus) as well as for Fe (A. auricula-judae and M. paedida). In Arpacık village and Deliosman village areas the highest number of wild edible mushrooms with HRI>1 was collected. The differences and similarities between mushroom species were established by Principal Component Analysis and Hierarchical Component Analysis.

Members of the Prosopis genus are native to America, Africa and Asia, and have long been used in traditional medicine. The Prosopis species most commonly used for medicinal purposes are P. africana, P. alba, P. cineraria, P. farcta, P. glandulosa, P. juliflora, P. nigra, P. ruscifolia and P. spicigera, which are highly effective in asthma, birth/postpartum pains, callouses, conjunctivitis, diabetes, diarrhea, expectorant, fever, flu, lactation, liver infection, malaria, otitis, pains, pediculosis, rheumatism, scabies, skin inflammations, spasm, stomach ache, bladder and pancreas stone removal. Flour, syrup, and beverages from Prosopis pods have also been potentially used for foods and food supplement formulation in many regions of the world. In addition, various in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed interesting antiplasmodial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and wound healing effects. The phytochemical composition of Prosopis plants, namely their content of C-glycosyl flavones (such as schaftoside, isoschaftoside, vicenin II, vitexin and isovitexin) has been increasingly correlated with the observed biological effects. Thus, given the literature reports, Prosopis plants have positive impact on the human diet and general health. In this sense, the present review provides an in-depth overview of the literature data regarding Prosopis plants’ chemical composition, pharmacological and food applications, covering from pre-clinical data to upcoming clinical studies.
