Antinutrient & Toxicity

Antinutrient and Toxicity ID Crop ID Part Reported Factor Effect Cause Toxicity Cause Allergic Reaction Reduction Method Notes Metadata Id
165 Black Nightshade Shoot Oxalate NULL These are believed to be signifcantly reduced during the process of cooking since they are heat labile. NULL 8,602
166 Black Nightshade Shoot Alkaloids NULL These are believed to be signifcantly reduced during the process of cooking since they are heat labile. NULL 8,602
167 Celosia Leaf Alkaloids High percentage of alkaloid is toxic to human and animals. NULL NULL 8,607
168 Celosia Leaf Oxalate Oxalate affects the human body by forming a strong chelate with dietary calcium and other minerals thereby rendering such nutrients unavailable for absorption and assimilation. This insoluble calcium oxalate in the crystal form is stored in the kidney causing serious health-related problems called kidney stone. NULL NULL 8,607
169 Celosia Leaf Oxalate Oxalate affects the human body by forming a strong chelate with dietary calcium and other minerals thereby rendering such nutrients unavailable for absorption and assimilation. This insoluble calcium oxalate in the crystal form is stored in the kidney causing serious health-related problems called kidney stone. NULL NULL 8,607
170 Celosia Leaf Phytate Negatively charged phosphate group in phytic acid is known to inhibit the action of gastrointestinal tyrosinase, trypsin, pepsin, lipase, amylase and essential minerals. NULL The highest phytate content (8.57± 0.06%) is within the safe limit, since the inhibition of mineral absorption by phytate only occurs at levels greater than 10% in a diet. 8,607
171 Celosia Leaf Saponins Saponins at high concentrations can affect nutrient absorption by inhibition of metabolic and digestive enzymes as well as binding with nutrients such as zinc. NULL When saponin in a diet is less than 10%, it is believed to be harmless to the body. 8,607
172 Paper Mulberry Whole (without root) Alkaloid NULL NULL NULL 8,804
173 Paper Mulberry Whole (without root) Saponin NULL NULL NULL 8,804
174 Paper Mulberry Whole (without root) Tannin NULL NULL NULL 8,804
175 Paper Mulberry Whole (without root) Phenol NULL NULL NULL 8,804
176 Guava Seed Tannins NULL Roasting process caused significant decreases in Tannins NULL 8,822
177 Guava Seed Phytic acid NULL Roasting process caused significant decreases in phytic acid content. NULL 8,822
178 Dogfruit Seed Nitrogen compounds As A. jiringa contains nitrogen compounds, djenkolism is often associated with high level of these compounds leading to azotemia and is capable of causing spasmodic pain, urinary obstruction and acute renal failure. The study highlighted djenkolism as a cause of acute anuric renal failure where the patients had symptoms of poisoning within 48 hours after the seeds intake. NULL NULL 8,828
179 Akee Fruit Phytates NULL NULL NULL 8,832
180 Akee Fruit Oxalate NULL NULL NULL 8,832
181 Akee Fruit Tannins NULL NULL NULL 8,832
182 Soursop Bark Alkaloids anonaine NULL NULL NULL 8,836
183 Moringa Leaf Tannin Tannins are plant polyphenols, which have ability to form complexes with metal ions and with macro-molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides Proper food processing would reduce anti-nutrients. NULL 8,840
184 Moringa Leaf Phytates Phytates in foods are known to bind with essential minerals (such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc) in the digestive tract, resulting in mineral deficiencies Proper food processing would reduce anti-nutrients. NULL 8,840
