Pigments are widely used in food supplements envisaging attractive colors along with health benefits. The desired advancements in the nutraceutical and antioxidant properties of pigments utilized in food products necessitate the search for novel additives. The present study is the first in the field to report the pigment-producing endolichenic bact...

The present study addresses the significant utility of Used Palm oil Methyl Ester (UPOME) and enhancing the capabilities by adding butyl ferulate. This phenolic antioxidant ester was synthesized using Rhizopus nevius lipase immobilized onto cuttlebone. The butyl ferulate synthesis was monitored in RP-HPLC and confirmed via GC-MS. Concurrently, UPOM...

In this work, Annona squamosa seed oil (ASSO) was extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by ultrasound-assisted transesterification (UAT) using methanol and KOH. The multivariable process of UAE and UAT was optimized using a response surface methodology (RSM). The experimental data we...

Pollution in all the essential elements such as air, water and land is a serious environmental problem for the last few decades. Among various methods for removing pollutants from environment, adsorption is the most economic and eco-friendly method. Nowadays, the use of biosorption process for removal of pollutants has been increased due to its eff...

Industrial effluents are the most pivotal contributor of liquid pollution. Inorganic heavy metal-based pollution is espoused with deleterious effect on surface water bodies and groundwater environment. One of the major heavy metal in effluent, Chromium and cadmium possesses significant higher levels of toxicity than other valence states and are cri...

Brain tumour classification in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful for diagnostics, growth rate prediction, tumour volume measurements and treatment planning of brain tumour. The classification of brain tumours is performed by biopsy, which is not usually conducted before definitive brain surgery. The improvement of technology and machine l...

The perceptron algorithm has been developed as a tool for detecting cancer. Currently, virtually all techniques for identifying illness are based on micro calcifications (MC's). MC's are calcium reserves that appear as a magnificent spot on a mammography. There are three types of AI calculations: directed learning, unassisted learning, and support...

Water is one of the essential elements for the survival of life on earth. But recent studies show that about billions of litres of wastewater effluents are released into the fresh water and marine system, which results in water pollution. The comparative study shows that chemical effluents are being treated, while the wastewater from the food indus...

The present study explores the applicability of endoskeleton powder from cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as an adsorbent for removal of chlorpyrifos, a noxious pesticide which causes neuronal disorders in human by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. The physiochemical properties such as surface area, particle size, elemental analysis, functional group...

Crotalaria juncea L., commonly called as Sun Hemp generally found in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Indian subcontinent, used as food and medicine by the tribal communities. The plant has been reported to have various medicinal properties. This study is focused on the evaluation of anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, haemolytic, germination and...

Plants play a vital role in maintaining the balance in the ecosystem by regulating oxygen and carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere and by providing food for various organisms as primary producers. When the physio-chemical properties of the ecosystem are affected by the industrialization, the balance of the ecosystem is disrupted even to the mic...

Burns are damages to the tissues that are caused due to exposure to heat, radiations, chemical contacts. Burns are commonly classified as a minor medical problems or life-threatening emergency. Based on the location and severity of the damage, treatment of burns is decided. In some cases, the treatment may go for months together. Zinc oxide and cop...

Metastasis is one of the unique property that was exhibited by malignant Cancer. Since the rapid transition of neoplastic cells from on point to the another occurs. There is the possibility of tumor formation in various parts of the body, where the neoplastic cells settle's. Since the appropriate subclinical diagnosis of metastasis is not available...

Many bacteria, fungi, plants and several animals produce pigments as secondary metabolites. Especially, the pigments produced by photosynthetic organism plays a vital role in protecting photo-oxidative damage. In recent years, endo-symbionts of lichen have been reported for many novel metabolites and multifunctional bioactivities. Hence, the presen...

The seeds of Cucurbita maxima are rich in protein, poly unsaturated fatty acid and flavonoids. They also contain various functional properties such as anti diabetic, anti inflammatory and antioxidants. The extracts were analysed for their antioxidant activity by different assays. The total phenolic content in the extract was done with gallic acid s...

The present study explore the applicability of endoskeleton powder from cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) as an adsorbent for removal of chlorpyrifos; a noxious pesticide which inhibit acetylcholinesterase in human leading to neuronal disorders. The surface area, mean pore diameter and mean particle size of the cuttlebone powder (CBP) were determined...

Tridax procumbens, is a weed extensively used in traditional medicine as anticoagulant, antifungal and insect repellent. Water extract of leaf and flower contained more proteins when compared to its methanolic counterpart. The same was observed in case of total free phenol present wherein among the methanolic extracts, leaf showed good result when...
