Statistical optimization models were employed to optimize the adsorption of textile dye effluent onto Gracilaria edulis. Significant factors responsible for adsorption were determined using Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and were time, pH, and dye concentration. Box-Behnken (BB) design was used for further optimization. The predicted and the experime...

Diabetic Retinopathy is a microvascular impairment which leads to blindness in the developed and developing countries. The DR progress from non - proliferative diabetic retinopathy to proliferative diabetic retinopathy were new blood vessels are formed which is called as microaneurysms. The onset of diabetic retinopathy depends on the period of the...

The study was to evaluate the biological activity and agar extraction from nano synthesized red seaweed Gelidiella acerosa. The algae were Collected from the coastal areas of Rameswaram, TamilNadu. Seaweed was subjected to pre-treatment process with Alkaline pre-treatment. The aqueous extraction of Gelidiella acerosa were extracted by decoction met...

Considered as the one of the leading irreversible loss of vision causing optic neuropathy, Glaucoma is estimated to hit more than 80 million by the end of 2020 via population survey. Increased intraocular pressure is taken as one of the risk factors among others behind the root of causing the disease. The imbalance in the secretion and the excretio...

Marine algal seaweeds are the underutilized bioresource i.e. food source, raw materials from industries, therapeutic application also. Seaweeds are the natural polysaccharides used in pharmaceutical preparation as tablets, as stabilizers, cosmetics and bioplastics packing industries. Raw materials such as sago, corn and food crops are used to produ...

I got a CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION from the The Academic Council Of uLektz as one of the "Most Promising Women Educators in Tamil Nadu for the year 2019"

Biosorption of textile dye effluents using marine red macroalgae Gracilaria corticata as a low-cost adsorbent and its potential was evaluated. The process parameters responsible for adsorption of dye from the aqueous solution, such as pH (4-8), temperature (30-40°C), initial dye concentration (10-20%), biomass concentrations (1-10 g/L), agitation/s...

Introduction: The objective of the work is to analyse the methanol extract of marine red macro algae species Gracilaria corticata using Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to reveal the presence of various secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds present in the algae and study its diverse properties. Methods: Gracilaria corticata was...

AIDS is a set of symptoms or syndrome, cause by HIV. AIDS stands for 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome' and HIV 'Human Immune Deficiency Virus'. This disease damages the immune system has great extent and makes the body prone to infections and diseases. The susceptibility of the body to diseases increases if the syndrome progresses. AIDS is also...

Objective: The marine seaweed Gracilaria edulis was collected from Rameshwaram Mandapam coast. The main objective of G. edulis was to check about the antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer activity. The potential use of seaweeds is to prevent colon cancer and leukemia. The crude extract of antioxidant activity was done in methanol and aqueous e...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the only suitable raw material as a sustainable renewable resource in the production of biofuels. Everyday there are tons and tons of second generation feed stock disposed of. These biodegradable wastes are a high rich source of carbohydrates, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. These wastes can be transformed to bioener...
