Effect of Gamma and Electron Beam Irradiations on Crystalline and Gelatinization Properties of Edible Potato Starch
Abstract: Exposure of food material to radiation causes changes in crystalline (damage of crystal structure / lattice distortion), and gelatinization (digestive)properties. Potato starch (PS) is one of the important globally used food supplement in different forms like chips, curries, cusins etc. During its use the PS is exposed to radiations, altering its molecular structure (due to chain cleavages) and bring changes in structural and physical properties ; sometimes ill – effects …

A Smart Investigation on Nanocomposites Composed of Carbon Dioxide-Derived, Repeatable Biological Polymers
Abstract: In recent years, an increasing number of people have begun to focus their attention on the environmental impacts that are caused by the widespread use of therapeutic polymeric composites that are generated from fossil fuels. Another factor that probably contributes to the short shelf life of biomedical polymer products is the fact that many of them are designed to be used just once before being discarded. When a biomedical polymer …

Electroplating and Corrosion Properties of Binary and Ternary Zinc Alloys with Nickel, Cobalt and Iron
Abstract: The anti-corrosive three binary (Zn-Ni, Zn-Co, Zn-Fe) and two ternary (Zn-Ni-Co, Zn-Co-Fe) alloy coating films on mild steel from acid chloride bath using sulphanilic acid and gelatin as additives for the electroplating technique. The normal Hull cell method was used to optimize the bath compositions, temperature and pH of the bath solutions for coating performance against corrosion. The cause of current density (CD) on metal weight percentage (M = Ni, …

An Insightful Study on SMEDDS Challenges and Potential Strategies
Abstract: Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDS) have gained attention as an effective approach to enhance the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. They are innovative lipid-based formulations designed to enhance the solubility, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of poorly water-soluble drugs. The development of SMEDDS involves systematic selection of components based on solubility and emulsification efficiency, followed by optimization of ratios using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. The resulting formulations are evaluated for droplet size, …

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Stem Cell Therapies Perspectives for It
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by systemic inflammation, primarily affecting synovial joints, leading to joint destruction and systemic complications. The pathogenesis involves immune system dysregulation, autoantibody production, and enzymatic imbalances. Enzymes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), serine proteases, and kinases, play crucial roles in these processes. Their dysregulation contributes significantly to disease progression through the imbalance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. MMPs, …

Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …
