L. merits further exploration of the potential of its substrates for therapeutic supplements. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on samples of Madural, Verdeal, and Cobrançosa elementary leaves and leaf sprouts () collected in the region of Valpaços, Portugal. Organic analysis assessed the moisture content, total carbohydrates, ash, protein, and fat contents, total phenolic content (TPC), vitamin E, and fatty acid (FA) profiles. Moisture content was determined through infrared hygrometry and TPC was determined by a spectrophotometric method. Concerning organic analysis, all leaf samples showed similar moisture content, though Cobrançosa's leaf sprouts and Verdeal's elementary leaves had slightly lower contents. Meanwhile, these cultivars also showed a higher TPC, α-tocopherol isomer, and fatty acid composition (FAC). FAC in all samples exhibited higher contents of PUFA and SFA than MUFA, with a predominance of linolenic and palmitic acids. Organic analyses of Cobrançosa's leaf sprouts and Verdeal's elementary leaf extracts allow for the prediction of adequate physiological properties regarding neuroinflammatory, neurobehavioral, metabolic, cardiovascular, osteo-degenerative, anti-ageing, pulmonary, and immunological defense disorders. These physiological changes observed in our preliminary in silico studies suggest an excellent nutraceutical, which should be borne in mind during severe pandemic situations.
L. 值得进一步探索其底物作为治疗性补充剂的潜力。对在葡萄牙瓦尔帕索斯地区采集的马杜拉尔、韦尔代尔和科布兰索萨初生叶及叶芽样本进行了定量和定性分析。有机分析评估了水分含量、总碳水化合物、灰分、蛋白质、脂肪含量、总酚含量(TPC)、维生素E和脂肪酸(FA)谱。通过红外湿度测定法测定水分含量,采用分光光度法测定TPC。关于有机分析,所有叶片样本的水分含量相似,不过科布兰索萨的叶芽和韦尔代尔的初生叶含量略低。同时,这些品种还显示出较高的TPC、α -生育酚异构体和脂肪酸组成(FAC)。所有样本中的FAC显示,多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)和饱和脂肪酸(SFA)的含量高于单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA),其中以亚麻酸和棕榈酸为主。对科布兰索萨叶芽和韦尔代尔初生叶提取物的有机分析能够预测其在神经炎症、神经行为、代谢、心血管、骨退行性、抗衰老、肺部和免疫防御紊乱方面具有适当的生理特性。我们初步的计算机模拟研究中观察到的这些生理变化表明其是一种优良的营养保健品,在严重的大流行情况下应予以考虑。
