Antifungal activity of yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) extract against candida spp.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a functional food, rich in fructooligosaccharides, and has been widely used in scientific research, showing effects in reducing lipid and glycemic levels, in addition to having antibacterial, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties. The objective was to evaluate the hydroalcoholic extract of yacon leaf in Candida species. Methods: Thirty-three samples of different species of the genus Candida treated with yacon leaf extract at concentrations of 25 to 400ug/ml were analyzed using the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration method described by the M27-A3 protocol of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Results: Among the species of C. albicans, 16 samples showed sensitivity to the extract at the concentrations used. Conclusion: Yeasts of the Candida genus are able to adapt to different environments due to their high degree of resistance to antifungal agents, making it increasingly necessary to use natural substances as alternatives for the treatment of diseases caused by fungi. The antifungal activity of yacon leaf extract against fungi of the genus Candida is being reported for the first time in this study, making yacon a new therapeutic alternative.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
