Musa sapientum(banana) is widely consumed for its health benefits. Its pulp, peel, leaves, bark as well as whole fruit is used in reducing the risk of chronic diseases of clinical interests. This study aims to find out whether or not there are any distinctive phytochemical constituents present in unripe Musa sapientum peel, pulp and whole fruit hydromethanolic extract using GC-FID techniques and to demonstrate the importance of spectral data in contribution to quality control of its medicinal properties. The UV-VIS profile showed different peaks ranging from 200-900 nm with different absorption respectively. UV-VIS profile showed 9 peaks with three distinct peaks at 240 nm, 400 nm, and 700 nm for both pulp and its peel while 22 peaks with four at 220 nm, 290 nm, 550 nm and 600nm for whole fruit. GC-FID analysis provided characteristic peaks determining the presence and concentration of phytochemical compounds in peel, pulp and whole fruit. Three major phytoconstituents were found almost exclusively in peel, including, Isoflavones, lunamarine and sapogenin while proanthocyanidin and resveratrol were exclusively in its pulp. Spartein, phytates, tannins and isoflavones were absent in whole fruit. The concentration of flavone was minimal. In conclusion, the study justifies the nutritional and medicinal properties of the plant and also represents an additional support to the quality control of their fruit drugs. The presence of the distinctive phytochemicals may be mechanistic link for the specific-efficacy of their physio-pharmacologic and therapeutic activities. Ingested together, these study data suggests that peel, pulp or whole fruit supplementation may be a potential alternative to conventional treatment for various types of infirmities and may confer other potential industrial, nutritional and medicinal advantages.

Aims: To review the phytomedicinal researches on endemic plants of Northern Cyprus and to assess the plants of their DNA barcoding status. Study Design: A review. Methodology: This work reviewed available and accessible original articles in EBSCO, Ovid MEDLINE®, PubMed®, ScienceDirectTM, Scopus® and Web of ScienceTM databases on phytomedicinal investigations and BOLD System, MMDBD version 1.5 and GenBank® on DNA barcodes of the endemic plants of Northern Cyprus until May, 2020. Using keywords searches related to phytochemistry, biological activity and DNA barcoding, DNA Sequences and the data obtain evaluated and the information that does not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded. We believe that this information would tentatively help researchers to ethically explore these plants for their Medicinal and Aromatic potentials. Results: Only 6 of the 20 endemic plants of Northern Cyprus were phytopharmaceutically investigated, while DNA sequences of 5 were found to be deposited in the publicly accessible databases accounting for 30% and 25% of the total plants respectively. Conclusion: Endemism is related to uniqueness in features including the phytomedicinal features, thus Northern Cyprus endemic plants hold ample of such. However the results of this review showed that only few were harnessed for their medicinal properties and hence the need for their pharmacological properties and comprehensive barcoding for proper authentication, detection of adulteration, and quality control.

Abstract Lentinula edodes is an edible mushroom known for its medicinal properties attributed to different secondary metabolites. In this article, the effect of glucose concentration, aeration and agitation on the production of biomass and intrametabolites in submerged fermentation was evaluated. By means of a Box-Behnken design, these variables were optimized to obtain a multifunctional biomass. It was determined that both glucose concentration and agitation had a significant effect on the response variables (biomass, sterols and polysaccharides). Under the evaluated conditions, the values of the variables that optimize biomass production were 1.2 vvm, 60 rpm and 21.97 g / L of glucose. Subsequently, the sterols and total carbohydrates extracted from the biomass were quantified through a spectrophotometric analysis. To optimize these two response variables, similar values are required for aeration (1.2 vvm) and agitation (60 rpm), while the glucose concentration was 16.32 g / L and 19.6 g / L for sterols and total polysaccharides respectively.
