Synthesis, characterization and application of silk sericin-based silver nanocomposites for antibacterial and food coating solutions.

The rising demand for fresh and safe food is driving advancements in preservation technologies, with nanoparticles offering a revolutionary solution. These particles extend shelf life, preserve nutritional value, and enhance food safety, aligning with present consumer expectations. This study explores the eco-friendly synthesis, characterization, and application of silk sericin-based silver nanoparticles (SS-AgNPs) for antibacterial and food coating purposes.

Evaluation of salt-tolerant germplasm of mulberry ( L.) through and field experiments under different salinity stresses.

Twenty-five promising salt-tolerant mulberry germplasms from different species were evaluated for growth under varying salinity levels (10.20-25.60 dS m) typical of the coastal regions in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal.
