- In-depth analyses, including DFT calculations, enhance understanding of PC's molecular properties and pharmacological potential, highlighting the need for further experimental validation for effective therapeutic use.
Article Synopsis
- There is currently no existing research on the L. plant species found in Bulgaria, prompting this study to analyze its leaves and pulp for metabolic, elemental, and bioactive properties.
- The pulp was rich in fructose and amino acids, while both leaves and pulp contained various essential fatty acids and minerals, with potassium and magnesium being most abundant.
- The study found that leaf extracts demonstrated superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as notable antibacterial activity, suggesting potential uses in nutritional and cosmetic products.
The present study aims to elucidate the metabolomic profile of grown in a bioreactor in Bulgaria. The results show that has a high content of mannose, 137.02 mg g, and vitamin A (retinol)-10.
