Description
Summary:The extract of Mahua flowers is used in food industries for making jams, jellies, biscuits and other food products due to its nutritional components like vitamins, sugars, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes and other compounds (Betaine, tannins and crude pigments) and antioxidant activity [6]. Different parts of M. longifolia were reported to contain sapogenins, triterpenoids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, β-amyrin, betullic acid, ursolic acid, stigmasterol, β-carotene, xanthophylls, quercetin, dihyroquercetin, β-sitosterol, ethylcinnamate, sesquiterene alcohol, α-terpeneol, 3-β-monocaprylic ester of eythrodiol, 3-β-capryloxy oleanolic acid, myricetin, Mi-saponin A & B, erthrodiol and glycosides [3, 5, 13]. Since this plant has been used in Indian traditional systems of medicine to treat various diseases including cancer, preparation of extract from M. longifolia could be useful in developing herbal formulations and also effective in curing diseases than whole leaf powder. Differences in the structure of phenolic compounds also determine their solubility in solvents of different polarity. [...]type of extraction solvent as well as the isolation procedures may have a significant impact on the yield of extraction polyphenols from plants material. Antioxidant phytochemicals may modulate the initiation of carcinogenesis process by protecting against DNA damage. [...]the polyphenols of M. longifolia could play an important role in anti-cancer activity of this plant material, which gives the scientific basis for the usage of this plant in Indian traditional medicine for cancer therapy [28].
