Propranolol hydrochloride is a beta-blocker used for the management and treatment of hypertension, angina, coronary artery disease, heart failure, fibrillation, tremors, migraine etc. The objective of the present study was to design Propranolol Hydrochloride floating tablets by direct compression method and to explore the role of a new gum as a matrix former. A 22 full factorial design was selected for the present study. Prunus domestica gum and HPMC (K4M) were used as independent variables, swelling index and drug dissolution at 12 hours as dependent variables. Formulations were subjected to pre- and post-compression tests that showed good micromeritics and buoyancy characteristics (Carr's index 11.76%-14.00%, Hausner's ratio 1.13°-1.16°, angle of repose 22.67°-25.21°, floating lag time 56-76 seconds, total floating time 18-25 hours and swelling index 59.87%-139.66%). The cumulative drug release in 0.1 N HCl at 12 hours was 72%-90% (p<0.05). Weibull model was found to be the best fit model (R2>0.99) among all other studied models. Multiple regression showed a significant effect of Prunus domestica gum and HPMC K4M on the swelling index and dissolution profiles of propranolol HCl (p<0.05). On the basis of better in-vitro performance and cost-effectiveness, formulation F4 was the best formulation. It is evident from the results that Prunus domestica gum possesses excellent drug release retardant potential for the floating drug delivery system and this new gum should be further explored alone or with other natural and synthetic polymers in future studies.

Plum fruit fresh weight (FW) estimation is crucial for various agricultural practices, including yield prediction, quality control, and market pricing. Traditional methods for estimating fruit weight are often destructive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. In this study, we addressed the problem of predicting plum FW using artificial intelligence (AI) methods based on fruit dimensions.

Improper storage of post-harvest fruits leads to significant losses, especially due to microbial-induced decay. Understanding the naturally occurring microbial communities on fruit surfaces and their functions is the first step in the development of new strategies for controlling post-harvest fruit decay. These new strategies could generate significant economic value by improving fruit preservation and extending the shelf-life of fruit.

Melatonin (MT) can improve plant resistance and fruit quality. The mechanism by which MT affects soluble sugar and organic acids accumulation in drupe fruits is not clear. In this study, 100 µmol/L MT was sprayed on the leaves of plum trees at the second stage of rapid fruit expansion (90 and 97 d after flowering), and the effects of MT on plum fruit quality and its effects on the soluble sugar-organic acid metabolism were investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Six macroporous resins were tested for their ability to adsorb and desorb neochlorogenic acid-enriched polyphenols from European plums, with the X-5 resin showing the highest effectiveness in adsorption (99.62%) and desorption (44.80%).
- The adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order model and was categorized as spontaneous and exothermic based on the Freundlich model, with a 60% ethanol solution efficiently eluting the compound from the resin.
- NAPEP, containing 21 polyphenol compounds mainly consisting of chlorogenic acids, demonstrated significant antioxidant properties and induced apoptosis in A549 cancer cells by activating the AKT pathway, suggesting its potential as a functional food ingredient.
