In Western countries, AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) is the leading cause of blindness in individuals over the age of 55. AMD is one of the most severe pathologies affecting the eye; in fact it damages the macula causing a serious impairment of the central vision. There are two forms of AMD: early or dry AMD and advanced AMD, which can occur as an atrophic form (geographical atrophy) or as a wet or exudative (neovascular) form (10%-15% of cases), less frequent but more disabling. Many studies on mouse models have shown that caloric restriction (CR) decreases age-related decline of ocular functions by reducing oxidative stress. It is therefore potentially useful in modulating the endophenotype of individual AMD patients This type of intervention could also be effective in humans, but being not easily applicable, it has not yet been studied extensively in the clinical setting. However, it is now known that CR mimetics can have similar benefits as CR. To allow for the wide application of the benefits of CR in the clinical setting, mimetic compounds will be developed including the activators of sirtuins and adenosine monophosphateactivated protein kinase (AMPK). Even the ketogenic diet seems to have a protective role on retinal neurodegeneration, but the data supporting this notion in the literature are still few. Finally, the role of the low glycemic index diet should not be underestimated. Extensive studies on a large population of patients must be conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of CR, CR mimetics, ketogenic diet or simply reduction of the glycemic index of the diet on the AMD prevention and/or progression.

Cyclic Voltammetry has a multipurpose electroanalytical technique for the study of electroactive species, the method displays redox behaviour of chemical species inside a wide range potential. The current at the working electrode is observed as a three-cornered excitation potential is applied to the electrode. The purpose of this paper was to determine the diffusion coefficient (D) of the K3 [Fe(CN)6 ] and uric acid; electrochemical nature of K3 [Fe(CN)6 ] and uric acid, effects of varying the concentrations analytes on peak currents and peak splitting and scan rate CV on peak currents and peak splitting. All the reagents used for this experiment were analytical grade. K3 [Fe(CN)6 ] and uric acid solutions were prepared. The experiment has been implemented with the principles of cyclic voltammetry. The relationship between the scan rate and the peak current were investigated and the result shows that there is a direct relationship between scan rate and peak current that is Ipα V1/2. As articulated on the above voltammograms, the peak current increases with the augmentation of the concentrations of K3 [Fe(CN)6 ], So that, the researcher conclude the manifestation of direct relationship between peak current and concentration of analytes. The experiment of this research shows that the increasing of diffusion coefficient (D) with increasing of concentrations /and scan rate.The peak currents and peak splitting fluctuate with variation of scan rate of CV. Similarly, the peak currents and peak splitting vacillate with variation of concentration of the analytes.CV therefore can be used as an indication of major analytical tool for the determination of the trace elements which are electro active in nature. The electrochemical nature of K3 [Fe(CN)6 ] and uric acid were determined; reversible and irreversible respectively.

Background: Date palm is considered as one of the essential fruits across various Arab countries, particularly in Saudi Arabia. The physical and chemical composition of the date fruits in different cultivars has been reported in many countries. The study aimed to assess the correlation between amylase activity & reducing sugar content in date fruits. It also aims to analyze the increase in amylase activity with the proportional increase in the reducing-sugar content. Methods: Qualitative analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between amylase activity & reducing sugar content in date fruits. Biochemical changes associated with the ripening of four different varieties of date fruits: sukkari, hilwa, sullaj, and khalas were examined. Results: The analysis showed that ripening of date fruits increased sugar content and enzyme activities. Correlation between amylase activity & reducing sugar content in date fruits was initially observed in Khalas and then in other varieties of date fruit. The ripening of all fruits was consistent in all date fruits varieties examined through the analysis exhibited considerable variations. The induction of amylase activity showed chronological and quantitative variations among date varieties. Conclusion: It suggests that biochemical attributes of the date palm must be considered for its expanded cultivation.

Background: Low-carbohydrate diets have been a popular nutrition therapy since the American Diabetes Association’s 2013 recommendation. Low-carbohydrate diets are effective at lowering blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels. Here, we suggested the new diets intake restriction methods using low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles for those consuming noodles regularly. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 28 day low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles diet, containing okara and konjac, on blood glucose levels of Spontaneously Diabetic Torii fatty rats, a model for obese type 2 diabetes. Methods: Male, 7-week-old rats were divided into two groups. Group I was fed the AIN-93G as standard diet (n=6) as control group, and group II was fed the standard diet in which 50% dried low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles replaced cornstarch (n=6). Body weight, food intake, and blood glucose levels were measured once a week, and hemoglobin A1c and glycated albumin levels analyzed after 28 days administration. Following the 28 days, the rats were fasted, glucose (2,000 mg/kg body weight) was administrated for the oral glucose tolerance test. Results: The blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and glycated albumin levels of the low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles group were significantly lower than those of the control group, in which body weight gain was observed. Conclusion: This is the first report on the effectiveness of low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles on blood glucose levels in model rats. The low-sugar, high-dietary fiber noodles might be beneficial for diabetes or celiac disease patients who consume noodles.

The outbreak of COVID-19 started in Wuhan, china in December 2019. Since then this outbreak causes significant loss of life and sever economic crisis around the world. People who are older than 60 years of age and having clinical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and low immune system suffered a lot due to this pandemic. Out of these whole scenarios we understand common criteria that those who have stronger immune system they would be able to fight this disease and recover. Enormous literature states that maintaining healthier life style would significantly improve immune system performance and this will prevent infection of uncertain virus outbreaks. Further dietary agents such as garlic, ginger, turmeric, lemon, cinnamon, black seed, and pepper etc has enormous potential to keep immune system stronger. Changing the modern life style such as eating junk foods, improper sleep, lack of exercise etc. would diminish the activity of immune system and these habits makes system more vulnerable to virus infections. Here we propose that adopting a life style with natural ingredients, regular exercise, remain hydrated would significantly enhance the immune system function.

Black rice (Zizania aquatica) is a rice variety formed by the mutation of Kala4 gene. In the world it is mainly cultivated in Southeast Asian countries like China, Thailand and India. China accounts for 62% of black rice production in the world followed by Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and Philippines. Thailand holds the 9th position for black rice cultivation. In India black rice is grown in North-eastern states like Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Assam and some parts of Odisha. Black rice is black in color due to the presence of the anthocyanin pigment on the outer layers (bran) of the rice kernel. Black rice is rich in tocopherols (vitamin E), iron and antioxidants. Black rice has high levels of protein, fiber, vitamins (Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, folic acid) and minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorous and selenium) compared to that of white rice. The major essential amino acids present in black rice are lysine and tryptophan. It also possesses lot of health benefits like antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory properties, lipid oxidation, anti-diabetic, anti-ageing and anti-cancer effects. The use of black rice as an ingredient in food processing might help in creating value added products. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight the application of black rice as a novel ingredient in various sectors of food processing.

An experiment was conducted and designed with pharmacologically active medicinal byproduct combinations (Camelia sinensis, Aloe vera and Phylanthus emblica) as feed additives to check the impact on growth performance, fecal pH and microbiology, hematological parameters and economic efficacy in broiler chicken. A total of 240 chicks were randomly allocated to four treatments having 6 replications of 10 birds per replicated pen following completely randomized design and reared for the period of 5 weeks. Dietary treatments were: 1) MPC0=Control (basal diet without medicinal byproduct combinations); 2) MPC1=basal diet+0.2% medicinal byproduct combination; 3) MPC2=basal diet+0.4% medicinal byproduct combinations; 4) MPC3=basal diet+0.6% medicinal byproduct combination. Result of present study revealed that, medicinal byproduct combinations added groups MPC1, MPC2 and MPC3 exhibited better broiler growth performance as compared to MPC0 (P<0.05). Lower fecal pH was depicted in the MPC1, MPC2 and MPC3 inoculated birds in comparison to the MPC0 (P<0.05). Suppression of pathogenic E. coli was observed in MPC2 and MPC3 and Salmonella sp. was observed lower in MPC1, MPC2 and MPC3 supplemented birds relative to that of MPC0 (P<0.05). There was no profound negative impact on hematological parameters except lower RBC count was found in MPC2 as compared to MPC0 (P<0.05). Economic efficacy was better in case of broilers treated with MPC1, MPC2 and MPC3 compare to MPC0 (P<0.05). To sum up, medicinal byproduct combinations with Camelia sinensis, Aloe vera and Phylanthus emblica could be potential feed additives in case of broilers, where MPC2 could be preferred for better efficacy.

A study was conducted to determine mainly the n 3 fatty acids enrichment and decreased oxidation of broiler meat using the plant Moringa oleifera and a blue green algae Spirulina platensis. The effects of the dietary treatments were evaluated in terms of growth performance, carcass and meat yields, oxidative stability and fatty acids modulation. Two hundred and forty (240) one day old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were assigned to 5 dietary treatments for 5 weeks, with 4 replications having 12 chicks per replication. The diets of the treatments were formulated from the basal feed as follows: control (T1), including 2 different levels of M. oleifera leaf meal 1% (T2) and M. oleifera leaf meal 1.5%, (T3) and 2 different levels of S. platensis 1% (T4) and S. platensis 1.5% (T5). The birds were randomly distributed in each pen, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical package. The final body weight (BW) gain was significantly higher in the T2 and T5 groups, and the feed conversion ratio improved in the T2 group (1.68). The lowest (p ≤ 0.05) thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances values (TBARS) of breast and thigh were obtained in T2 groups compared to T3-T5 group after the second week of preservation. Regarding fatty acid profile of breast and thigh meat, the omega-3 fatty acid levels, such as those of linolenic and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), were increased in the additives groups. The results of the present study elucidated that dietary inclusion of the 2 medicinal plants in the T2 and T5 groups could be promising functional ingredients to produce value-added broiler meat in terms of oxidative stability and omega-3 fatty acids enhancement.
