Nectar Chemistry

Nectar is crucial to maintain plant-pollinator mutualism. Nectar quality (nutritional composition) can vary strongly between individuals of the same plant species. The factors driving such inter-individual variation have however not been investigated closer. We investigated nectar quality of field scabious, Knautia arvensis in different grassland plant communities varying in species composition and richness to assess whether nectar quality can be affected by the surrounding plant community. We analyzed (with high performance liquid chromatography) the content of carbohydrates, overall amino acids, and essential amino acids. Amino acid and carbohydrate concentrations and proportions varied among plant individuals and with the surrounding plant community but were not related to the surrounding plant species richness. Total and individual carbohydrate concentrations were lowest, while proportions of the essential amino acids, valine, isoleucine, leucine (all phagostimulatory), and lysine were highest in plant species communities of the highest diversity. Our results show that K. arvensis nectar chemistry varies with the composition of the surrounding plant community, which may alter the taste and nutritional value and thus affect the plant’s visitor spectrum and visitation rate. However, the strong inter-individual variation in nectar quality requires additional studies (e.g., in semi-field studies) to disentangle different biotic and abiotic factors contributing to inter-individual nectar chemistry in a plant-community context.

Amino Acid Requirements

Present knowledge of the nutritional requirements of fish is limited to certain species of salmon and trout (e.g. Halver, DeLong & Mertz, 1957; Shanks, Gahimer & Halver, 1962). In view of the current interest in the cultivation of marine flatfish (Shelbourne, 1964) information on their dietary needs is equally desirable. Experience with salmon (DeLong, Halver & Mertz, 1958) has indicated that protein is the largest and most expensive constituent of fish diets and studies on the nutritional value of different food proteins for fish are necessary if the fish are to be reared economically and successfully. A desirable prerequisite to such studies is a knowledge of those amino acids for which the fish has an absolute dietary requirement, i.e. which it cannot itself synthesize from other substances normally available. With most animals these requirements have been identified by growth trials using partially (or wholly) defined diets. The rearing of fish on defined diets is not easy and it seemed in the first instance that an indirect but valid approach might be utilized. If animals are given a radioactively labelled carbon source, such as uniformly labelled [U-14C]glucose a significant amount of the radioactive carbon will be incorporated only into those compounds which the animal can itself synthesize. By isolating the amino acids from the tissue proteins following such a dose the essential amino acids are identified as those which are not radioactive. The amino acids containing radioactivity correspond with the so-called non-essential amino acids.

The present study aimed to profile the polyunsaturated fatty acids, sugars, free amino acids, and polyphenols in 37 varieties ofSpirulinacommonly available in the market using gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, the biological potentials of theSpirulinasamples were evaluated by analysing thein vitroantioxidant activities using various analytical techniques. The analyses revealed the presence of 13 polyunsaturated fatty acids, 18 amino acids, 7 sugars, and polyphenols. The polyunsaturated fatty acids contents were varied betweenSpirulinasamples. The total polyunsaturated fatty acids amount was 4.25 mg/100 g, and the average among of sapienic acid detected was 2.25 mg/100 g, which was followed by linoleic acid (16.7%) andγ-linolenic acid (14%). Among the 7 sugars, the hexose levels were the highest (73.85%). The total amino acids contents ranged from 11.49 to 56.14 mg/100 g, and the individual essential amino acids accounted for 17% to 39.18%. The “natural” tablets exhibited the highest polyphenols levels (24 mg/g). All of theSpirulinasamples expressed dose-dependent antioxidant activities. The polyunsaturated fatty acids, sugars, free amino acids, and polyphenols contents varied widely, and the variations in these compounds between theSpirulinasamples were significant.

To decrease the toxic effects of xenobiotics on healthy workers in healthful and dietary meals, it’s important to consider not only the proper diet intake of macro- and micronutrients, but protein quality in terms of essential amino acids. A study was conducted to evaluate nutritional value and amino acids content in the industrial workers diets of two metallurgical enterprises by calculation and laboratory methods. We found that set of healthful and dietary meals at the calculation stage do not comply with regulatory requirements for fats and carbohydrates by 34 and 16 percent, respectively. According to laboratory tests, from 57 to 68 percent of sets of healthful and dietary meals do not comply with regulatory requirements for proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The discrepancy in the data on the amount of determined nutrients between the calculated and laboratory methods may be due to calculation errors, shortage and quality of raw materials, as well as a limitation of methods for determining fat and carbohydrates. With a set of healthful and dietary meals workers can satisfy the almost daily requirement for the corresponding energy expenditures for some amino acids, however, the required amount of these amino acids in workers in contact with heavy metals has not been established. It has also been found that in diets of healthful and dietary meals, the ratio of tryptophan / lysine / methionine + cystine is violated towards an excess of tryptophan, whose deamination products are highly toxic. It is necessary to continue further investigation of ready-made diets of healthful and dietary meals for nutritional value and amino acid content in order to identify factors affecting the discrepancy within research results between calculation and laboratory methods, as well as establish adequate norms for amino acids intake in workers exposed to toxic substances.

AbstractHoney production in Africa is considered an integral part of folk medicine and provides an opportunity for poor rural communities to increase their economic sustainability. In this review, we provide and discuss the data available on the positive nutritional value and health properties of honey harvested from Africa. Besides sugar, honey contains protein and amino acids, with proline which is about 50% of the total amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, some minerals (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, P, S), trace elements (Mn, Ni, Li, F, I, Cl, Sr, Co) and polyphenol compounds. The paper reviewed studies on the use of African honey with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-breast cancer, antidiabetic and antimycotic properties and also its positive effects on infertility (asthenozoospermia), febrile neutropenia and diabetic foot ulcers.
