The Nigella sativa L. popularly referred to as black seeds are widely used a form of traditional nutrition and medicine. N. were for the extraction their oil by way supercritical fluid (SFE) cold press (CP) determine physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, thermal behavior. GC-MS results showed primary constituents in (NSO) Caryophyllene (17.47%) followed thymoquinone (TQ) (11.80%), 1,4-Cyclohexadiene (7.17%), longifolene (3.5%), carvacrol (1.82%). concentration TQ was found be...
Abstract The aim of this study was to develop ice‐cream product fortified with a Nigella sativa oil (NSO) nanoemulsion at four ratios (0% control, 3%, 5% and 10%). NSO stabilized by combinations gum arabic, sodium caseinate, Tween‐20 three (5%, 10%, 15%) emulsifiers. results showed that 10% has the highest stability zeta potential (−31.92), lowest change PDI (0.182). particle size (175.83 µm). result demonstrated improved physical properties consumer acceptability. Among different samples,...
The study explores the challenge of food waste in commercial foodservice sector a major developing economy Middle East, Iraq. It responds to Food Waste Index report 2021 by United Nations Environment Programme which has called for more accurate data-based assessments wastage national sectors nations. Via mixed methods research design consisting direct measurements, in-situ observations and managerial interviews, provides first preliminary benchmarks three categories Iraqi restaurants...
Plants and organic foods inherently contain bioactive compounds that combat oxidative stress effectively. A pharmacological overview of the activity action active against X-ray damage is provided, along with a review chemistry, functionality, application aspects derived from natural sources may mitigate harmful effects radiation shield biological systems stress. The findings revealed antioxidants such as (lactoferrin, curcumin, melatonin, phycocyanin, saponin) phenolic in plant extracts...
The Snakebite Treatment and Research Hospital (SBTRH) is a leading center for snakebite envenoming care research in sub-Saharan Africa, treating over 2,500 patients annually. Despite routine data collection, analyses are seldom conducted to identify trends or guide clinical practices. This study retrospectively analyzed 1,022 cases at SBTRH from January June 2024. Most were adults (62%) predominantly male (72%). Key factors such as age, sex, time between bite hospital presentation associated...

Numerous socio-demographic and psychographic factors affect food waste behavior of consumers at home away. Although the effect religiosity has been recognized, it remains only marginally investigated, especially in context consumption outside home. Previous quantitative studies have established positive correlation between reduction intentions households. This paper provides a qualitative perspective on role away by undertaking in-depth semi-structured interviews with Islam followers (n =...
Introduction. Mayonnaise is a widely consumed product all over the world. Nowadays, number of vegetarians, egg allergy cases, and heart diseases are increasing. This makes manufacturers develop alternatives. The research objective was to select optimal concentration emulsifiers for egg-free mayonnaise made from virgin coconut oil. Study objects methods. We produced 20 samples with different amounts emulsifiers. also determined physicochemical properties samples, as well performed proximate...
Background: This study aimed to compare the effects of three different frying methods, namely air (AF), microwave (MF), and deep (DF) in corn oil, on moisture texture, as well content absorption carbohydrates acrylamide French fries. Materials Methods: For DF, fresh potatoes were fully dipped oil temperature was set at 160 °C for intervals 3, 5, 7 minutes. In MF, preheated 180 time 160, 180, 200 seconds. The AF a 170 8, 10, 12 minutes, without adding oil.Results: results showed that resulted...
Abstract Phytochemicals accessible in food have demonstrated efficiency against impairment by gamma radiation. The review presented here is an attempt to show the pharmacological outline of activity natural antioxidants and its primary action molecular mechanism damage induced rays. This research focused on results vitro dosage relationship, correlation this information with statistical variables. Moreover, it deliberated compounds which could decrease unwelcome impacts radiation safeguard...
Penicillium candidum (PCA 1/TT031) synthesizes different types of extracellular proteases. The objective this study is to optimize polyethylene glycol (PEG)/citrate based on an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) purify protease from 1/TT031). effects PEG molecular weights (1500–10,000 g/mol), concentration (9%–20%), concentrations NaCl (0%–10%) the citrate buffer (8%–16%) were also studied. best purification could be achieved under conditions 9.0% (w/w)...
Aquafaba is obtained by soaking different types of legumes, and utilised in the production several plant-based foods due to its functional properties. The present work aimed evaluate effects aquafaba produced chickpeas at durations, on safety, physicochemical properties, consumer acceptability mayonnaise. chickpea was prepared durations 12, 18, 24 h, later boiled for 35 min 120°C. results demonstrated significantly (p < 0.05) higher TSS (5.89 ± 0.00), viscosity (7.23 0.06), peptide...
Microencapsulation is frequently used to enhance the stability of liquid food by transforming it a free-flowing powder. This study aimed evaluate effect storage for 24 days at 65°C on overall quality and microencapsulated Nigella sativa oil (MNSO) compared uncapsulated (NSO). During time, total was extracted from MNSO examined every six along with NSO. The showed many changes its properties including reductions in oxidative stability, content bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, as...
The aim of this study was to identify the bioactive compound and evaluate antibacterial activity torch ginger flower oil extracted using subcritical carbon dioxide. evaluated in agar diffusion assay, while MIC MBC were determined microdilution broth assay. essential subjected metabolomics profiling GC‐MS 1 H‐NMR techniques. results demonstrated strong towards Salmonella typhimurium , Staphylococcus aureus Escherichia coli . values 0.0625, 0.25, 0.25 mg/mL, 0.5, mg/mL S.
