    (Univ Agriculture, Fac Veterinary Science, 2022) Naeem, Muhammad Yasir; Jabran, Khawar; Ozden, Mustafa; Joiya, Allah Bakhsh
    Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), is both a wild plant and a weed, and is also recognized for its edible and nutritional value. This study determined morphological and biochemical characteristics of 25 accessions of common purslane. Seeds of the accessions were collected from various locations in Turkiye. The experiment was done four times; two repeats of it were used for recording morphological data while the other two were used for biochemical analysis. Results showed that the accessions BT-Altinkulak, Assem, and Yerli were respectively recorded for the highest plant height, root fresh weight, and plant fresh weight. The highest moisture content (95.14 %) and leaf fresh weight (39.18 g) were exhibited in the Yerli accession. Root length for all the accessions ranged from 18.2 to 30 cm. For biochemical characterization, the highest total phenolic content was found in accession Yagmur (685.4 mg AEE 100-1) while the highest total flavonoid content was found in Assya (0.569 mg mL-1). Anthocyanin was found the highest in Agr Tohum (1.09 mu g mL-1). Cookies were prepared from a mix of common purslane accessions with three different leaf powder quantities i.e., 10 g, 20 g, and 30 g. In product development, cookies with 10 g common purslane powder were found to be the best for all sensory characteristics. Results showed that common purslane accessions are a rich source of various bioactive compounds and have highly diverse morphological and biochemical traits. This diversity among common purslane accessions will assist plant breeding programs in future for the domestication of this wild plant.

    Nutrition-Sensitive Climate-Smart Agriculture
    (Springer International Publishing, 2023) Kızıldeniz, Tefide; Ceribas, Rumeysa; Naeem, Muhammad Yasir
    Adults and children continue to suffer from malnutrition and hunger in emerging nations, which hinders their productivity, growth, and development. Health and adequate nutrition intake throughtout the life cycle of individuals, especially at the earlier stage of the childhood—while the body is in its developing phases—remains essential. It is still a problem in many underdeveloped and emerging nations to ensure that people have food available to them that is secure and sufficient and satisfies their nutritional and personal choice needs. Still, nutrition security for providing diversity and nutritious food in sufficient quality and quantity is another concern. Agriculture as a component in supporting food security of indivuduals has a fundamental significance in human nutrition besides of being a basic and important livelihoods activity. Nutrition-sensitive approach is focused on the effects of fundamental factors of nutrition. This approach together with agriculture aims to place food strengthening, dietary diversity, and nutritionally rich foods at the center of eradicating malnutrition and micronutrient insufficiency in agricultural development and is called as nutrition-sensitive agriculture. However, accessibility and availability of both dietary diversity and nutritionally rich foods are much more limited by environmental changes induced by climate change effects, especially on agriculture and consequently on food and nutrition safety. Consequently, it leads to undermine current endeavors to climate resilience and coping strategies. As a coping strategy, climate-smart agriculture approach aims to reorient and modify agricultural systems to efficiently and influentially improve progress and provide food safety under the changing climate. This approach enables the buildup of innovations, adaptation, and mitigation measures with consideration of locally centered scope in addressing climate change. Therefore, under the circumstances of changing environment and highly fragile nutrition conditions, these two approaches are deeply needed to integrate. Agricultural services can be adapted to more nutrition and climate sensitive by advancing their scope or the capability of extensions. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

    Overview of the Potential Beneficial Effects of Carotenoids on Consumer Health and Well-Being
    (Mdpi, 2023) Crupi, Pasquale; Faienza, Maria Felicia; Naeem, Muhammad Yasir; Corbo, Filomena; Clodoveo, Maria Lisa; Muraglia, Marilena
    Well-known experimental research demonstrates that oxidative stress is the leading cause of the onset and progression of major human health disorders such as cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, and cancer diseases. A high concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species leads to damage of proteins, lipids, and DNA associated with susceptibility to chronic human degenerative disorders. Biological and pharmaceutical investigations have recently focused on exploring both oxidative stress and its defense mechanisms to manage health disorders. Therefore, in recent years there has been considerable interest in bioactive food plant compounds as naturally occurring antioxidant sources able to prevent, reverse, and/or reduce susceptibility to chronic disease. To contribute to this research aim, herein, we reviewed the beneficial effects of carotenoids on human health. Carotenoids are bioactive compounds widely existing in natural fruits and vegetables. Increasing research has confirmed that carotenoids have various biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory activities. This paper presents an overview of the latest research progress on the biochemistry and preventative and therapeutic benefits of carotenoids, particularly lycopene, in promoting human health. This review could be a starting point for improving the research and investigation of carotenoids as possible ingredients of functional health foods and nutraceuticals in the fields of healthy products, cosmetics, medicine, and the chemical industry.

    The main phenolic compounds responsible for the antioxidant capacity of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) pulp
    (Elsevier, 2023) Clodoveo, Maria Lisa; Crupi, Pasquale; Muraglia, Marilena; Naeem, Muhammad Yasir; Tardugno, Roberta; Limongelli, Francesco; Corbo, Filomena
    The antioxidant capacity of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) pulp extracts is strictly related to the phenolic content, starting from the fact that the higher content of phenolic compounds corresponds to the higher antioxidant indexes. This work aims to assess which compounds characterized three cultivars, namely Ferrovia, Sweetheart, and Lapins grown in Southern Italy and mainly influenced the antioxidant capacity of their extracts. HPLC-MS/ MS analyses were conducted to identify and quantify 17 flavonoids and 25 hydroxicinnamates derivatives. A significant influence of cultivar was revealed from one-way MANOVA (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the extracts were tested for their radical scavenging activity (DPPH and ABTS assays) and reducing power using the Folin-Ciocalteau method. Lapins and Sweetheart extracts, richer in phenolic compounds, returned the highest reducing power and radical scavenging capacity. Finally, a Factorial Analysis was applied to the collected data allowing reliable correlations between phenolics and antioxidant indexes.
