  Anti-Microbial Potential of Onion Peel Extracts

  By Aanchal Maurya, Gaurav Mishra, Ritika Gupta

  Abstract: Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a source of bioactive compounds, particularly flavonoids such as quercetin, and possesses antioxidant and beneficial properties to health. Onion skin, which is normally considered as waste, has more of these compounds compared to the edible portion. This research sought to isolate and analyze the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of onion skin with ethanol and hexane using Soxhlet and column chromatography techniques.

  Production And Purification of Amylase Through Bacterial Strain

  By Gaurav Mishra, Aanchal Maurya

  Abstract: Amylases are important industrial enzymes with use in detergents, brewing, and food processing because of their ability to hydrolyze starch. In this research, the production and optimization of α-amylase from a potato soil isolated bacterium using agro-waste as a carbon source is investigated. The isolate had a hydrolytic zone of 13.33 mm and the highest activity of 545 U/mL under submerged fermentation with 1% starch. Optimum conditions were pH 7.0, …
