Food Proteins as Functional Ingredients in the Management of Chronic Diseases: A Concise Review.

Chronic diseases have emerged as a formidable global health concern, with their prevalence steadily rising over the years. Several approaches to addressing these concerns include the use of medications, which are often expensive, contain synthetic chemical substances, and have reported adverse effects. The use of foods, especially proteins, as an alternative approach to addressing chronic health concerns by treating and managing chronic diseases is increasing.

Investigation of the adsorptive removal of methylene blue using modified nanocellulose.

In this study, Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) embedded nanocellulose (NCED) has been used to study the adsorptive removal of methylene blue (MB) from simulated wastewater. The morphological characterizations have been checked with FESEM, FETEM, AFM, and BET pore analysis, while the fingerprinting of the material has been analyzed with the help of FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, EDS, XRD and TGA. For the experimental designing involving four parameters that affect the removal efficiency of MB, the layout has been prepared with the help of Central Composite Design (CCD).

Magnetic nanocellulose from Cyperus rotundas grass in the absorptive removal of rare earth element cerium (III): Toxicity studies and interpretation.

In this study a very common grass named Cyperus rotundas was used to extract cellulose which was converted to magnetic grass nano cellulose (MGNC) to adsorb rare earth element Cerium (Ce (III)). The prepared MGNC was analyzed with sophisticated technique to determine the alteration in physical and chemical properties before and after adsorption with the pollutant Cerium. Parameters like pH, temperature, MGNC dosage and initial concentration of Ce were optimized to check parameters influencing the adsorption of Ce (III).

Effect of 8 weeks' supplementation grape seed extract on insulin resistance in iranian adolescents with metabolic syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Insulin resistance in adolescents is a major health concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of grape seed extract on insulin resistance in adolescents with metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods: Participants were divided into grape seed extract (GSE) and placebo groups (n = 24 each) and received 100 mg/day of GSE or placebo and were placed on a weight loss diet for 8 weeks.

Use of Nanocellulose extracted from grass for adsorption abatement of Ciprofloxacin and Diclofenac removal with phyto, and fish toxicity studies.

The present study deals with the adsorption of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (CPXO) and anti-inflammatory agent Diclofenac (DCF) on Grass nanocellulose (GNC) extracted from Cyprus rotundas grass. The adsorbent GNC was characterised using various microscopic, elemental and spectroscopic analysis to monitor the physicochemical alterations of the surface before and after adsorption. The size of the converted nanocellulose was found to be 40-50 nm.
