Leucaena Leucocephala a Nutrition Profile
Poonam Sethi,Pushpa R. Kulkarni +1 more
TLDR
Heat, moisture, chemical treatments, ensiling, rotation feeding, cutting management of the plant, new hybrids, introducing micro-organisms into the rumen of ruminants that are unable to detoxify mimosine, and preparing protein isolate from Leucaena seeds have all been used to overcome Mimosine toxicity.Abstract:
Leucaena leucocephala is one of the fastest-growing leguminous trees. Its foliage is used as animal feed, and its leaves and seeds are used as human food in Central America, Indonesia, and Thailand...read more

Antioxidant activities of lead (Leucaena leucocephala) seed as affected by extraction solvent, prior dechlorophyllisation and drying methods
TL;DR: Examination solvent, dechlorophyllisation and drying methods directly influenced the yield and antioxidative activity of lead seed extract and the higher antioxidative activities with concomitant higher total phenolic and mimosine contents were found in water extract dried by freeze drying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and pharmaceutical properties of the seed oil of leucaena leucocephala (lam.) de wit (leguminosae)
TL;DR: The seed oil of Leuconia leucocephala was investigated for its antimicrobial activity and the pharmaceutical properties of its lotion formulation determined and was found to have a concentration-dependent activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant activity and inhibitory effects of lead (Leucaena leucocephala) seed extracts against lipid oxidation in model systems
Soottawat Benjakul,Phanat Kittiphattanabawon,Phanat Kittiphattanabawon,Fereidoon Shahidi,Sajid Maqsood +4 more
TL;DR: Lead seed extract containing mimosine could act as a natural antioxidant to prevent lipid oxidation in foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peroxynitrite induced signaling pathways in plant response to non-proteinogenic amino acids.
TL;DR: The model of CAN and m-Tyr mode of action in plants is described based on modifications of signaling pathways induced by ROS/RNS with a special focus on peroxynitrite induced RNA and protein modifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and biological activities of 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridone
TL;DR: This study is the first to report on the herbicidal, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of 3,4-DHP.

Enzymic hydrolysis, fine structure, and gelling interaction of legume-seed d-galacto-d-mannans
TL;DR: A direct correlation between the extent of hydrolysis of d -galacto- d -mannans by β- d-mannanase and the degree of gelling interaction with xanthan gum was observed, suggesting that interaction of d-galactosyl residues from the d -mannotriose backbone does not absolutely require long sections of contiguous unsubstitutedd -mannose residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction of sheep to the consumption of Leucaena glauca Benth. and to its toxic principle mimosine
MP Hegarty,PG Schinckel,RD Court +2 more
TL;DR: Sheep on a sole diet of Leucaena glauca Benth shed their fleece and the amino acid mimosine has been shown to be the depilatory agent, and reasons for conflicting reports on the toxicity of L.glauca are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose-dependent inhibitory effect of phenolic compounds in foods on nonheme-iron absorption in men
M Tuntawiroon,N Sritongkul,Mats Brune,L Rossander-Hultén,R Pleehachinda,R Suwanik,L. Hallberg +6 more
TL;DR: The study illustrates the marked effect of iron-binding phenolic compounds on iron nutrition and, thus, the importance of acquiring knowledge of the content of such compounds in different foods.
