A probiotic is a live bacterium that, when given in sufficient proportions, helps to improve the host's gut health. Kimchi and pearl millet, two traditional foods, were used to isolate probiotic bacterial strains. This study's primary goals were to isolate, identify and analyse the microorganisms for potential probiotic traits, tolerance to gastrointestinal environments, and antimicrobial activity, and produce probiotic capsule.

In recent years, several physicochemical methods have been proposed for decolourising textile dyes; however, few have been adopted by the textile industry because of factors such as high cost, low efficiency, and limited applicability to a wide range of dyes. The current study focuses on synthesising algae-mediated Cu and CuO nanocatalysts (Alg-Cu and Alg-CuO) using natural waste materials from green algae. The synthesised Alg-CuO nanocatalyst was characterised and confirmed using SEM, TEM, UV, FT-IR, XRD, XPS, GC-MS, and TGA.

Article Synopsis
  • An innovative toothbrush was created with a rotatable shank and a flexible design to improve access to all surfaces of the mouth, aimed at reducing plaque and improving gingival health.
  • A randomized controlled trial compared this rotatable shank toothbrush with traditional flexible and straight handle toothbrushes to see which was more effective for plaque control and gingival health outcomes.
  • Results showed that the rotatable shank toothbrush provided better improvements in plaque removal and gingival health compared to the other types of toothbrushes used in the study.
