Phyto-Pharmacological Importance with Nutritional Potential of Eleusine coracana Linn.: A Review

Eleusine coracana is high in proteins, vitamins dietary fibres, minerals, lipids, and polyphenols, according to research. It’s also said to be high in calcium.42 The amino acids methionine, phenylalanine, leucine, cysteine, threonine, isoleucine, histidine, tyrosine, arginine, tryptophan as well as valine are all found in finger millet, according to Ravindran et al. Riboflavin, ascorbic acid, ascorbic acids, niacin, tocopherols and B-vitamins are among the vitamins present in finger millet.4345 Polyphenols identified in the seed include chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, caffeic acid, tannic acid and gallic acid. Using high performance liquid chromatography, the crude polyphenols from Eleusine coracana were separated into vanillic acid (3.8%), ferulic acid (32.8), syringic acid (4.0%), gallic acid (12.6%), trans-cinnamic acid (3.6%), quercetin (5.6%), P-hydroxyl benzoic acid (17.9%), and p-couramic acid (3.6%).46 More polyphenols were found in the seed coat of finger millets. Shobana et al. previously identified polyphenols such as naringenin, apigenin, (+)- catechin, diadzein, tetramers of catechin, dimers of prodelphinidin, kaempferol, methyl gallic acid, epicatechin and luteolin glycoside.47 Banerjee et al. also used reverse phase HPLC to investigate whether finger millets contained any extra phenolics. It was revealed that gentisic acid, sinapic acid, and salicylic acid exist.48 In the millet’s ethyl acetate fraction, Singh et al. used GC-MS to discover 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid.49 Polyphenols are thought to be subject for free radical-scavenging and antioxidant properties of plant extracts. FM has 0.74% oil, with 47.17% oleic acid, 24.78% linoleic acid, and 23.06% palmitic acid, according to Poonia et al. Tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids are found in the plant.50,51Eleusine coracana seeds have also indicated the existence of arabinoxylan, and three α-amylases have been purified from them.52,53 From finger millet, Saxena et al. isolated a malfunctioned protease/amylase inhibition. Oxidative enzymes of the plant were discovered in finger millet include lipoxygenase, polyphenol oxidases, ascorbate oxidases, and peroxidases. The lipoxygenase enzymes are thought to be subject for the millet’s huge level of protection in contrast to pests.54,55 Finger millet is thought to have a range of helpful phytochemical components and nutrients, but it also contains the antinutrient phytates, which are known for their tendency to bind to essential components such as zinc, calcium and iron, decreasing their availability in the finger millet.56Eleusine coracana is rich in minerals, fats, polyphenols, a carbohydrates, dietary fibres, carbohydrates and micronutrients. Finger millet contains various types of amino acids such as leucine, cysteine, histidine, tryptophan, valine, lysine, isoleucine, arginine, and threonine. Various vitamins such as riboflavin, tocopherols, ascorbic acid, thiamine and niacin are also present in Eleusine coracana. Different types of polyphenolic compounds like tannic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid, cholinergic acid and vanillic acid are also found in Eleusine coracaana. It also contains various phytoconstituents such as naringenin, catechin, luteolin, diadzein, epicatechin, apigenin, kaempferol and phloroglucinol which are responsible for various pharmacological activities.57,58
