The analysis of common Egyptian cereal and legume varieties (low tannin sorghum var. Dorado, high tannin sorghum var. Asyout 14, lentil var. Giza 4) and whole grain barley flour (Telbina) revealed that high tannin sorghum had the highest total phenols content (69.2 mg/100 g) followed by cooked lentil (57.4 mg/100 g). Ferulic and syrnigic acids were the major phenolic compounds in the both samples. The results showed also that high tannin sorghum and cooked lentil had high vitamin B-3 and B-6 contents. Cooked lentil showed high amount of folic acid (200 µg/100g) compared with (70 µg/100 g) in high tannin sorghum. Samples were also evaluated for any cytotoxic activity against the human tumor cell lines (breast carcinoma cell line (MCF7), liver carcinoma cell line (HepgZ), brain tumor cell line (U251) and cervix carcinoma cell line (Hela). The results showed that high tannin sorghum had good cytotoxic activity against all cell lines tested, which cooked lentil was found to have only cytotoxic activity against brain tumor (U251) and cervix cell line (Hela). Telbina was proven to have some effects against breast and brain tumor, while low tannin sorghum had some effects against Hela and liver tumor.
Summary in Arabic.
Legumes--Therapeutic use
Cytotoxicity, Immunologic.
Cereals as food--Analysis.
Cancer--Treatment.
