Published: August 2017

The leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni has nutrients and phytochemicals, which make it an adequate source for the extraction and production of functional food ingredients. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest therapeutic and pharmacological applications for stevia and their extracts because they are not toxic and exhibit several biological activities. This review presents the biological activity of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and their relationship to antidiabetic, anticariogenic, antioxidant, hypotensive, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. Consumption and adverse effects were also reviewed.

Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps are efficient elicitors of secondary metabolites. To investigate the influence of LED light on steviol glycosides (SGs) and phenolic compounds biosynthesis, stevia shoots were cultured under the following LED lights: white-WL, blue-B, red-R, 70% red and 30% blue-RB, 50% UV, 35% red and 15% blue-RBUV, 50% green, 35% red and 15% blue-RBG, 50% yellow, 35% red and 15% blue-RBY, 50% far-red, 35% red and 15% blue-RBFR and white fluorescent light (WFl, control). RBG light stimulated shoots' biomass production.

Unraveling the impact of abiotic stress on conserved microRNA expression and their target genes in .

Physiol Mol Biol Plants

November 2024

University School of Biotechnology, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Sec-16C, Dwarka, New Delhi 110078 India.

Unlabelled: Production of stevioside and rebaudioside in is greatly affected due to extreme environmental conditions. MicroRNAs are known to play an important role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Here, the aim was to study the effect of abiotic stresses on the plantlets and then to identify and validate the expression of the conserved microRNAs and their targets under abiotic stress conditions.

This study investigates the formulation and optimization of effervescent tablets made from freeze-dried bael () fruit pulp, focusing on selecting appropriate excipients to enhance stability and ensure the effective release of its bioactive compounds for health benefits. The formulations-S (100 % fruit pulp), S (20 % citric acid), S (10 % citric acid and 10 % ascorbic acid), and S (20 % ascorbic acid) combined with equal parts of dried bael pulp, sodium bicarbonate, sugar, polyethylene glycol, and stevia were assessed for their physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, and sensory study. The S demonstrated the fastest dissolution time (189 s), along with the lowest bulk density (0.
