Abstract: Guava (Psidium guajava) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae grown for its edible fruits. Analysis of proximate principles of guava was carried out and nutritional profiles of white and red pulp guava were established.Proximate analysis indicated that the carbohydrate content in the white pulp guava was found to behigher than the red pulp guava. The protein content varied significantly with more amount of proteins in the red pulp guava. The amount of crude fibres in red pulp guava was found to be more as compared to white pulp guava. The results for moisture content indicated that the red variety contains less amount of water. The mineral elements analysis indicated that the red pulp guava fruit was significantly higher in Calcium, Sodium and Phosphorous. The white variety was found to be rich in potassium. Sodium content in white guava was in very minute quantity...........

Abstract: Arsenic is well- known to promote toxicity in the reproductive system.. It alters the ovary of mice at different dose levels. It creates more and more reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ovary. Female Swiss albino mice were selected as the experimental animal. In the treatment group, 1.8 mg/kg body weight Sodium arsenite and in the control group distilled water was given orally by gavage method daily for 5 months. After the treatment, mice were sacrificed and the ovary and blood samples were collected. Sodium arsenite treated group showed no effects of CA 125 in mice blood, LPO level was significantly (p < 0.01) increased, whereas antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) activity was significantly (p < 0.05 ) decreased as compared to the control group. Apoptotic index was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in arsenic-treated mice compared with the control. Sodium arsenite treated group showed..........

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion with or without varying degree of insulin resistance. Sedentary life style and obesity are two major epidemiological determinants of diabetes mellitus. In the present investigation hypoglycemic and antioxidant efficacy of methanol extract of Streblus asper of family Moraceae was tested on STZ induced mice diabetic models. The results clearly indicated that the diabetic control (DC) mice presented a significant lowering of body weight (p<0.001) when compared with the normal control (NC) mice. The DC mice showed a significantly (p<0.001) higher level of glucose (+279%), when compared with their normal control counterparts. Diabetic mice of all the three groups (DT150, DT250 and DT500) showed a reduction in glucose levels, when compared to the DC ones. The results clearly.........

Abstract: Soil contain a vast number of microorganisms and it is the dynamic site of biological activity in nature in which many biochemical reactions occur for destruction of organic matter. Actinomycetes are one of the most important organisms which were widely used for producing secondary metabolites, and the actinomycetes were abundantly present in the rhizosphere soil. Consequently the present work aimed to identify the medicinally important Actinomycetes from the rhizosphere soil of Cipadessa baccifera and clausena dentata. The rhizosphere soil of Cipadessa baccifera and Clausena dentata have pH of 6.9 and 7.1, and different nutrients such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Nitrate, Ammonia, Phosphorous, Calcium, Magnesium and potassium. Actinomycetes from rhizosphere soil of Cipadessa baccifera and Clausena dentata showed 22.41X10-5 Colony/g of soil and.....

Abstract: Carica papaya, commonly known as papaya, pawpaw and papita; is a delicious fruit with loaded nutrients having beneficial effect on human body. Papaya also has antioxidant effects and anticancer properties which improve heart health, fight inflammation, improve digestion and help to maintain overall health and wellness. Papaya seeds are small, round, black colored, encased in a gelatinous coat in the inner cavity of the fruit having a strong flavor similar to black pepper and small amounts of it are beneficial for overall health. The seeds contain large amounts of nutrients, including fibre (22g %) which is effective for combating constipation and other digestive problems. The present study was undertaken......

Abstract: Aims:The goal of the study is to identify unknown bacteria isolated from contaminated waste water and assess its potential use in the degradation of halogenated compounds. Methodology: Bacteria SA1 genomic DNA was extracted using genomic DNA Purification Kit and PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA was carried out using universal primers (27F and 1492R). Results: Biochemical tests, 16S rRNA and phylogenetic analysis suggested SA1 belongs to Acinetobacter with 98% identity to this genus. SAI growth was not observed in 2, 2-dichloropropionic acid minimal media. Conclusion: The inability of SAI to grow on2, 2-dichloropropionic acid minimal media suggesting that it could be toxic to the organism. Hence, there is possibility of it degrading other halogenated compounds since various strains of this species are said to participate in the metabolism of xenobiotic compounds...

Abstract: To preserve the inherent characteristics of Shea butter during processing and enssure quality during harvesting, storage and drying of the Shea Kernel for better competitive advantage, this study seeks to determine the effects of picking period, boiling time, cooking temperature and drying methods on the physicochemical properties of shea butter. The shea fruits for the shea butter production were picked from the ground as they fell off the shea tree on the first day, third day and ninth day. The fruits were pretreated to remove the sprouted, disease infected and the pulp to get shea nuts. The nuts were subjected to different treatment conditions of drying (sun, traditional oven and rotary dryer drying), boiling (for 30 minutes) and cooking/roasting (at 60 0C)...............

Abstract: In certainty, algaehold great promise as a resource that, if properly developed, could become a sustainable biomass source for energy and fuels. This paper presents a process technical evaluation for methane (biogas) production using microalgae as feedstock in anaerobic digestion. In the light of carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N) requirements of the substrates in the digester, the potential of bio-methanation, the energy performance, waste paper demand, and CO2 and nutrient recovery were examined. Two scenarios were observed: digester carbon/nitrogen ratios C/N=15 and C/N=25, with each having 100kg alga biomass input. At C/N = 15, 41.71m3 of methane was produced requiring 18.36kg waste paper input; total energy input and output was 948.58MJ and 1376.31MJ respectively; while nitrogen, phosphorus and CO2 recovered was 68.4%, 45% and 48.39% respectively.

Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most-produced and consumed grains worldwide. Drought is a major environmental stress seriously limiting plant growth and crop productivity. In this study 60 SSR markers were used in which 41 were polymorphic. Among 41 makers 4 were highly polymorphic, these 4 marker shows polymorphism in all tolerant-susceptible combination.111 alleles were detected among the 41 SSR primer pairs, which were polymorphic between some of the tolerant-susceptible combinations among the 5 rice cultivars with an average allele frequency of 2.7 per marker. The Polymorphic information Content (PIC) values of 41 polymorphic primers ranged from 0.26 to 0.67..
