Abstract

The major commercial crops in Pakistan are citrus fruit trees, which are farmed extensively and serve as the country's principal source of foreign exchange. A local citrus plant, Citrus paradisi, variety Foster is famous for its valuable fruit and fruit juice, however, tons of peels of this fruit are thrown as waste, which otherwise can be utilized in formulating nutraceutical and cosmetics. In the present study, essential oil of fruit peels was obtained through hydro-distillation, which was then analyzed through GC-MS analysis and studied for its antioxidant and enzyme inhibition potential. GCMS analysis revealed the presence of several components; major were found to be limonene, α-terpineol, caryophyllene, δ-amorphene, elemol, γ-eudesoml, nootkatone and di-isooctyl phthalate. Although, the oil showed weak free radical inhibition, it was potentially active in CUPRAC, FRAP, phosphomolybdenum and metal chelating antioxidant assays. The oil also exhibited anti-glucosidase, anti-amylase activities and also exhibited potent inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, which makes it strong candidate for nutraceuticals and skin care products. The docking studies also substantiate our results and caryophyllene, γ-eudesoml and nootkatone showed good binding affinity α-glucosidase and α-amylase and all tested compounds showed the higher binding affinity towards the enzyme tyrosinase.

Abstract

The aim of the present research work was to investigate the variation in nutritional potential, phenolic profile, antioxidant, and free radical scavenging activities of four wildly grown accessions of Cucumis melo var. Agrestis. The accessions of Cucumis melo var. Agrestis were collected from different areas of the district Faisalabad and Layyah of Punjab province (Pakistan). Mineral profile and amino acid analysis were examined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and an amino acid analyzer. High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the separation and quantification of polyphenols from chloroform and methanol fractions of Cucumis melo. ICP-OES was used for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of elements, and results showed that magnesium (533.6–663.2 ppm) and iron (308.1–590.8 ppm) were the most abundant minerals. Amino acids analyzer showed that valine (0.03–45.58 mmol/L) and taurine (0.03–2.34 mmol/L) were present in the highest concentration. The methanol extract yield of the accessions was in the range of 14.00–17.03 g/100 g of plant material. HPLC analysis showed the detection of eleven phenolic compounds, and the most abundant compound was chlorogenic acid (1120.53–1237.52 µg/g), followed by gallic acid (188.14–930.74 µg/g) and vanillic acid (6.35–298.81 µg/g). Chloroform and methanol fractions were analyzed for antioxidant activity, and results showed that all the fractions were rich in total phenolic content (TPC) (26.6–112.00 mg/100 g) and total flavonoid content (TFC) (20.5–77.9 mg/100 g). Methanol fraction of accession-1 showed the best free radical scavenging capacity (82.2 %) and % inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation activity (84.4 %) than other fractions. Statistical analysis revealed significant variation among the nutritional potential and antioxidant activity of all the accessions.

Abstract

This work aims to enhance the efficiency and properties of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by introducing silver and zinc ions. CMC incorporated with a silver (CMC-Ag) and CMC incorporated with zinc (CMC-Zn) composites and films were prepared, characterized and evaluated for biological activities respectively. The CMC-Ag and CMC-Zn composites and composite films showed notable antibacterial and antioxidant activities based on increasing Ag and Zn concentrations. The CMC-Ag composite films displayed the highest wound contraction 89.79% followed by CMC-Zn composite films 89.24% on the 10th day with low levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Histological images of wounds treated with these composite films exhibited healed epidermis and a clear view of collagen deposition. These findings demonstrate that our prepared composite films have auspicious features with eloquent antibacterial, antioxidant and wound-healing properties which could be used as biobased wound dressings.

Abstract

Different anthropogenic activities along with some natural processes have severely contaminated the atmosphere that is an ongoing threat for life of the organisms. Contamination of soils with toxic metals is one such threat among different abiotic factors. It not only affected the soil chemistry and plant growth but also affected the other elements of ecosystem along with the pollution in underground water. To overcome the problem of toxic metals in soil, different strategies are being employed for better production along with the remediation of soils, but all these have some drawbacks and not cost effective. However, the new methods are being employed for toxic metal remediation that is considered environmental friendly and cost effective. In this regard the application of biochar seems to be effective means. Application of biochar due to its unique properties found helpful in the remediation of soil toxic metals. It changes soil properties such as buffering system by effecting pH, water holding capacity, and mobility of the metals in soil due to its strong binding capacity and increases the metal leaching to deeper soils; as a result, it provides a better environment for plant root growth and working. Under such conditions the plant physiology changes, and plants work under favorable conditions. Biochar application has a great impact on plant health in terms of growth and final yield due to improvement in plant physiology. This chapter is focused on the effectiveness of the use of biochar from different sources for the remediation of soil from toxic metals in parallel with its effect on plant physiology for better growth and production. The information given in the chapter will be beneficial for plant growers to decide how to obtain better growth and production along with remediation of toxic metals in the biochar-amended soil.

Abstract

The use of synthetic plastic materials has increased at an alarming rate due to unawareness regarding the hazards of plastic debris. Generally, it is used once and then becomes waste, which is the main contributor toward environmental pollution. Therefore natural degradable materials are the substitutes to control the adverse effects of such environmentally risky materials. Moreover, the preparation and use of degradable or decomposable materials are significant to lessen the problems associated with plastic materials. In addition, various recycling methods are also developed to control the growing issue of synthetic materials to convert them into useful and environment-friendly products. However, more efforts are still needed to promote the use of degradable materials and cost-efficient methods for recycling of plastic waste.
