| Description |
The stem, leaf, and root of Tinospora cordifolia (willd.) have been highly exploited for medicinal preparations; however, the
nutritional and nutraceutical potential of its attractive red berries (fruits) have not so far been studied. Pigments, berberine
(107.0 mg/100 g) and lycopene (50.8 mg/100 g), were identified in the deseeded fruit. Total phenol content in the fruit was
3.2mg gallic acid equivalent/g. The IC50 of DPPHz (82, and 468 ppm) and OHz (100, and 1,000 ppm) scavenging activity, and
the EC50 of reducing power (2,616, and 1,472 ppm) of hexane and methanol extracts, respectively, were observed. Oxygen
radical absorbance capacities of the fruit extracts (150 and 300 ppm) were 1,107 and 2,614mMtrolox equivalent/g, respectively.
Nutrient composition including carbohydrate (18.4%), proteins (1.5%), lipids (6%) of which ,62% was unsaturated fatty
acids, vitamins like ascorbic acid (0.24 mg), niacin (0.7 mg), and tocopherols (2.4 mg) in 100 g fruits were determined.
Potassium content was 1.2 g/100 g dry tissue of berries. These findings show that components of T. cordifolia fruit could be
bioactive and used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics.
