Article Synopsis
  • A hydrogel was created using mung bean protein isolate and κ-carrageenan to encapsulate propolis at two concentrations (1% and 3% w/v).
  • The study evaluated the hydrogel's rheological properties and texture, revealing that encapsulation did not alter its chewiness, adhesiveness, or hardness.
  • Various techniques confirmed strong electrostatic and covalent interactions in the hydrogel, with results indicating it efficiently encapsulates propolis, boasting over 99% encapsulation efficiency and significant antioxidant activity.

  • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic-Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are serious, medication-induced skin conditions affecting mucus membranes and the epidermis, with annual incidence rates of about 1 to 2 per million people; SJS has a mortality rate of 1-5%, while TEN has a much higher rate of 25-35%.
  • Both conditions are characterized by severe skin detachment, mucocutaneous discomfort, and potential long-term effects on survivors, particularly in the elderly, who may experience reduced quality of life and life expectancy.

Introduction: Mungbean is a vital pulse crop in India that can thrive in dry-land conditions and is grown in three seasons, with the added benefit of being used as green manure due to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Recently, pod rot disease has emerged as a serious threat to mungbean cultivation in India.

Methods: In this study, morpho-molecular identification of associated pathogens and the bio-efficacy of systemic and non-systemic fungicides as well as genotype screening was performed during the years 2019 and 2020.

Obesity is a global epidemic that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It can lead to a plethora of disorders, including diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, musculoskeletal problems, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative abnormalities. Obesity has also been linked to neurological diseases such as cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD), caused by oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the production of reactive oxygen free radicals (ROS).
