The study addressed the imperative challenge of waste reduction and environmental impact by proposing a novel approach to create eco-friendly paper plates from transformed rice husks and banana peels. The objective was to explore the viability of these agricultural and organic waste materials as alternative resources for paper plate production, mitigating environmental harm and fostering resource efficiency.

Unhealthy dietary habits in the Philippines, including the consumption of junk food, gave rise to health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In response, there was a growing interest in plant-based diets, which emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and have been effective in managing conditions like type 2 diabetes. To address these health concerns, researchers developed a plant-based cheesecake as a nutritious and dairy-free dessert.

This study addresses environmental concerns by enhancing a recycled food waste soap to improve its antimicrobial properties and pass physicochemical analysis. Researchers modified the sustainable soap formula by incorporating lemon peels, eggshell membrane, lemongrass essential oils, and various fruit peels. Laboratory testing confirmed that the mango and pineapple variations of the soap both met the standard pH levels for acceptable soap products, and their antimicrobial analysis demonstrated inhibitory activity against common bacteria.

Single cell protein (SCP) represents a promising remedy for the worldwide need for protein-rich foods of high quality. SCP products consist of protein meals derived from microbial or algal biomass, offering a promising solution to meet the demand for a sustainable and renewable protein source in the field of aquaculture.

Integrated care has emerged as a critical approach for enhancing patient outcomes, improving healthcare efficiency, and fostering a patient-centered care environment. This review article explores collaborative management strategies across four key healthcare departments: nursing, pharmaceutical, paramedic, and laboratory services.

Colchicine is a phytochemical extracted commercially from two plants of the Colchicaceae family, Gloriosa superba (flame lily) and Colchicum autumnale (autumn crocus). One of the seven upavishas (semi-poisonous drugs) in Indian medicine, colchicine is claimed to treat a number of illnesses but can be lethal if administered improperly. Colchicine dosages greater than 10 mg in humans are always fatal within three days.

Waffles are convenient ready to eat foods made from leavened batter or dough that is cooked between two hot plates and is patterned to give a characteristic size, shape and surface impression. Utilisation of millets is restricted due to non-availability of processed foods in ready to eat form. Millets can be effectively utilised for developing value added products which can improve the overall diet quality. Hence, the present study was carried out to formulate nutritionally superior waffles with finger millet.

Autonomous vehicles have become the crux of today’s innovation and research. There are so many unidentified problems in the real-world scenario that the solutions can be endless. Many such companies who are marching on the way to define a perfect autonomous driving vehicle have also achieved level 3 or 4 of the SAE Driving Automation standard. Autonomous vehicles mainly rely on sensors which act as their senses to find their way and locate themselves in the environment and through traffic and various types of objects.

Fermented bamboo shoot is one of the delicacy culinary of the major Meitei community of Manipur and also most used ingredient in Northeast Indian cuisine. The fermentation process is almost similar in different states like Nagaland, Manipur and in other states of North East, India. Different varieties of fermented bamboo shoot such as Kakching soibum, Wakak soibum, Lamangdon soibum, soidon etc. are available at the Ima Market through out the year.

Introdution: Fungi transmitted by Oryza sativa L rice seed cause considerable production losses. The aim of our work was to evaluate the effect of essential oil formulations against Magnaporthe oryzae and on the germination capacity of rice seeds. Contaminated rice seeds for antifungal tests and uncontaminated rice seeds for viability tests were coated in powdery formulations of essential oils of Lippia multiflora, Cymbopogon schoenanthus and Ocimum americanum in pure form and four of their combinations at a dose of 10g/kg of seed. A fungicidal control and a neutral control were used.
