Plastic pollution is a global concern, leading to the abundance of macro-and microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment and subsequent accumulation in many marine organisms, particularly small pelagic and oceanic fish species. These small fishes are usually considered as the non-target catch or by-products of marine capture fisheries. However, t...
Aging and aging-related chronic disorders are one of the principal causes of death worldwide. The prevalence of these disorders is increasing gradually and globally.

A...
Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal that can cause harm even at extremely low concentrations and damage various organs, including those of reproduction. Medical herbs like Nigella sativa include antioxidants that have been shown to enhance spermatogenesis and male fertility. This research aimed to investigate the gonadal health benefits of Nige...
Enzymes play a vital role in baking, providing significant benefits from dough development to extending shelf life, which enhances product quality and consistency. Acting as biological catalysts, enzymes such as proteases and amylases break down proteins and starches, modifying dough rheology and improving fermentation. Lipases and oxidases further...
Foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli frequently causes foodborne infections. In our study, we investigated the antibiofilm activity of orange terpene (OT) against E. coli biofilms on a food surface (beef) and different surfaces that come into touch with food, including stainless steel (SS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), low-density polyethylene...
The persistence of foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in food processing and medical facilities, often leads to severe disease outbreaks and the emergence of antimicrobial
resistance. Combatting these challenges, global interest in phytochemicals, including luteolin (3′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone), for advance...
Escherichia coli (O157:H7) is a common pathogen found on food contact surfaces (FCS) and food surfaces (FS), which can cause foodborne illnesses. Biofilm formation by E. coli on FCS is a major concern for the food industry. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of orange terpene (OT) against E. coli biofilm on diverse food contact surfaces. As...
Agro-food wastes are generated from various plant, dairy, and fisheries commodities and their by-products. A large portion of food waste can remain in the dumping sites without proper recycling and valorization approaches. Improper disposal of those domestic and industrial wastes can pose a harmful threat and detrimental effects on the surrounding...

I am considering incorporating a zinc supplement, commonly used as a growth promoter in humans, into fish feed to observe its effects on fish growth and health. Given the potential physiological differences between humans and fish, I aim to assess whether the zinc supplement can positively influence growth performance, immune function, or overall health in aquatic species. I will also evaluate potential risks, such as zinc toxicity or negative impacts on metabolic processes, by carefully monitoring dosage and fish response. This study could provide valuable insights into the viability of using zinc supplements in aquaculture.
