Plant foods are wasted especially in millets as they are not required in that particular product processing. From the cultivation of millet to its processing and consumption of the final product, a significant amount of waste is generated. Wasted foods are not spoilt foods and still have the potential to be used for the second time as food. But unfortunately, the fate of waste is always landfills which surely create a menace. By this we are throwing nutria rich foods on one hand and on the hidden hunger is on the rise. The challenge that lies in front is converting this waste into a nutria rich and nutraceutical food again/ specialty ingredient for functional foods or super foods but should ensure zero waste this time. Millet has gained momentum and rejuvenated in the recent past. Even then millets for its part is also contributing to waste generation that needs attention. (No of words...

The advancement and changes in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry are governed utilizing the interests of clients for biologically energetic elements obtained naturally in place of synthetic manufacture and resources. One such novel technique within the beauty enterprise is using marine life as a supply of active components like micro and macroalgae, sea corals, marine bacteria, and seaweeds as shown in within the manufacture of skin care products. Marine organisms are discovered in intense conditions or habitats and have evolved with positive beneficial homes that terrestrial organisms lack. Those traits include antioxidant, anti-wrinkling, rehydrating, skin lightening, beautifying, emollient, solar-screening, moisturizing, firming and supplying smooth texture, and shielding the pores and skin. This biodiversity from the oceans has shown amazing results and affected person compliance in the fields of cosmetology and pharmacy. Not only in cosmetics but marine based products obtained from the vast expanse of our oceans, covering 70 percent of the globe, has served as a cradle for human civilization. Thalassotherapy encompasses a diverse range of treatments, including...

The human microbiota, a complex assembly of microorganisms residing in various bodily niches, plays a critical role in health and disease. Historically, traditional medicine implicitly recognized the importance of the microbiota through the use of fermented foods and herbal remedies, which we now understand can influence the gut microbial composition and contribute to a robust immune system and improved metabolic processes. In the contemporary landscape, the role of microbiota has been significantly expanded by modern science. Advancements in genomic and bioinformatics tools have unraveled complex interactions between human health and microbiota, particularly in understanding the impact of modern pharmacological agents. Recent studies have highlighted the dual-edged effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which, while combating pathogens, also disrupt commensal microbial communities, potentially leading to dysbiosis and associated health conditions. Furthermore, emerging research into the gut-brain axis suggests profound implications of microbiota management in neurological disorders, signifying a shift towards microbiota-centered therapeutic strategies. This review traces the journey of microbiota research from its historical roots to its current innovations and potential future...

Several techniques were applicable to increase the aqueous solubility’s of poorly water-soluble drugs. Hydrotropy technique is one of them. In the present study, the hydrotropic agent has been used as a Solubilizing agent to solubilize BCS Class-II drugs that is poorly water-soluble drugs. Hydrotropy is an increase in the solubility of a solute in water by adding an agent termed hydrotrope. Increasing the solubility of various drugs in water is a very important aspect of hydrotropy. Various formulations need some substances or drugs to solubilize in water. Also, it is very important to analyze the drug formulations. Hydrotropy can be incorporated with spectrophotometric and chromatographic analysis for accurate, rapid, easy and precise analysis. The hydrotropic agent did not interfere with spectrophotometric determination. Most of the investigations concluded that hydrotropy was the most efficient tool for solubility enhancement. Solubility enhancement over 100-fold was observed in some investigations. Hydrotropic agents possess high industrial demand. This review article also highlights the applications and future prospects with the employment of hydrotropes and hydrotropic...

Rosmarinic acid, a key component of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), holds significant promise as an adaptogen in herbal medicine, offering a natural remedy to counteract stress’s wide-ranging impacts on health. This abstract explores rosmarinic acid’s pharmacological activities, emphasizing its modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, regulation of neurotransmitters, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and enhancement of mitochondrial function. Integrating insights from traditional medicine like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), alongside modern scientific validation, highlights Rosemary’s evolution from culinary herb to medicinal powerhouse. Structurally, rosmarinic acid’s stability, facilitated by its ester-bonded dual phenolic rings, supports its therapeutic efficacy. Experimental studies underscore its ability to reduce cortisol levels, bolster stress resilience, stabilize mood, and enhance cognitive function by influencing neurotransmitter systems. Moreover, its robust antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, validated across in vitro, animal models, and clinical trials, suggest potential applications in preventing oxidative stress and inflammation-linked diseases. By promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and activating the AMPK pathway, rosmarinic acid enhances cellular energy production, further fortifying resilience to stressors. In summary, rosmarinic acid emerges...
