Cordia dichotoma f. (Boraginaceae) is a small deciduous tree from India. The bark of was used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) and colic pain traditionally hence present work was undertaken to identify the phytoconstituent responsible for this activity. Apigenin is isolated by column chromatography from methanol fraction of crude methanol extract of C. dichotoma bark. Structure of apigenin is established by various spectroscopic studies. Apigenin (5mg/kg, p.o.) showed significant healing and reduction in inflammatory enzymes when screened for UC. It can be concluded that apigenin from C. dichotoma bark may be responsible for the treatment of UC.

Many plants are reported to enhance cognition in amnesic-animal models. The metabolite profile of fruit methanolic extract (CDFME) was characterized by LC-QTOF-MS/MS, and its total phenolics content (TPC) and total flavonoids content (TFC) were determined. In parallel, its cognitive-enhancing effect on scopolamine (SCOP)-induced AD in rats was evaluated.

In this work, a facile and rapid fluorescence turn-off-on sensing method was developed for the detection of Pb and metalaxyl fungicide in environmental samples using yellow carbon dots (CDs) from Cordia dichotoma fruits. The prepared C. dichotoma-CDs showed the emission band (𝜆) at 535 nm under 448 nm of excitation wavelength.

This study aimed to utilize different plant-derived mucilage as a fat substitute in yogurt production. rhizome mucilage (CEM), fruit mucilage (CDM), and husk mucilage (PHM) were extracted using different extraction process, and spray dried to acquire nano-scaled mucilage particles (100-300 nm). Seven different types of yogurts were prepared with the addition of varied mucilage concentrations (1-10 % /).

This study aimed to evaluate the extraction efficiency of mucilage from Cordia dichotoma fruits using various aqueous extraction methods, including microwave-assisted water extraction (MWE), hot-water extraction (HWE), and cold-water extraction (CWE). Different analytical techniques were employed to characterize the Cordia dichotoma mucilage (CDM). Additionally, the functional properties, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and dye reduction potential of CDM were assessed.
