Antinutrient & Toxicity

Antinutrient and Toxicity ID Crop ID Part Reported Factor Effect Cause Toxicity Cause Allergic Reaction Reduction Method Notes Metadata Id
43 Taro (Cocoyam) Tuber Saponin NULL Fermentation NULL 8,556
44 Taro (Cocoyam) Tuber Hydrocyanic Acid NULL Fermentation NULL 8,556
45 Taro (Cocoyam) Leaf Oxalate The presence of oxalate causes sharp irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat when tubers or leaves are eaten. Boiling NULL 8,556
46 Taro (Cocoyam) Leaf Tannin NULL Boiling NULL 8,556
47 Taro (Cocoyam) Leaf Phytate Phytates bind minerals in the gastrointestinal tract, making dietary minerals unavailable for absorption and utilization by the body. It decreases calcium bioavailability and forms calcium phytate complexes that inhibit the absorption of Fe and Zn. Boiling NULL 8,556
48 Malabar Spinach Leaf Tannin NULL NULL NULL 8,558
49 Malabar Spinach Leaf Oxalate NULL NULL NULL 8,558
50 Malabar Spinach Leaf Phytate NULL NULL NULL 8,558
51 Quinoa Grain Saponin Some saponins form complexes with iron and zinc reducing their absorption. To overcome this saponins, sweet varieties were developed and for bitter varieties are reported to process by wet methods (strong washing in cold alkaline water), dry methods (heat treatment, extrusion, roasting, or mechanical abrasion) or a combination of both methods. NULL 8,559
52 Quinoa Grain Phytic acid Phytic acid is capable of chelating bivalent minerals (Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, and Cu), starch, protein and enzymes. food preparation methods like steeping, germination and fermentation were reported to reduce the phytic acid content in the grains. NULL 8,559
53 Quinoa Grain Trypsin inhibitor The presence of trypsin inhibitor in the intestinal tract reduces the action of trypsin, which is responsible for the digestion of proteins, leading to increased enzyme production by the pancreas with resultant hypertrophy of this organ and reduction in growth. Not stated. NULL 8,559
54 Quinoa Grain Oxalate High intake of oxalate in the diet influences the absorption of minerals and trace elements, playing a key role in hyperoxaluria, a risk factor for the formation of calcium oxalate stones in the kidneys, due to the ability of the oxalate to form insoluble complexes with divalent cations in the gastrointestinal tract. Not stated. NULL 8,559
55 Malabar Spinach (Basella rubra) Leaf Oxalate The ingestion of large doses of oxalic acid cause corrosive effects in the mouth or intestinal tract, convulsion symptoms and deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney resulting in stone formation. Boiling and steaming. NULL 8,560
56 Malabar Spinach (Basella rubra) Leaf Phytic Acid Phytates lower the bio-availability of calcium, iron, zinc and copper. Boiling and steaming. NULL 8,560
57 Malabar Spinach (Basella rubra) Leaf Tannin NULL NULL NULL 8,560
58 Malabar Spinach (Basella rubra) Leaf Cyanogenic Glycoside NULL NULL The plant has low value of anti nutrients. This implies that the plant leaf is safe and good for human and non ruminant nutrition and health. 8,560
59 Swamp Cabbage Leaf Oxalate The ingestion of large doses of oxalic acid cause corrosive effects in the mouth or intestinal tract, convulsion symptoms and deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney resulting in stone formation. Boiling and steaming. NULL 8,561
60 Swamp Cabbage Leaf Phytic Acid Phytates lower the bio-availability of calcium, iron, zinc and copper. Boiling and steaming. NULL 8,561
61 Swamp Cabbage Leaf Trypsin Inhibitor NULL NULL Very low amount of antinutrient. 8,561
62 Swamp Cabbage Leaf Tannin NULL NULL Very low amount of antinutrient. 8,561
