    Abstract Long term exposure to solar ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is one of the primary factors of premature skin aging and is referred to as photoaging. Also, mammalian skin exposed to UVB triggers an increase in production of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which is critically involved in the pathogenesis of hyperpigmentary skin diseases. This study investigated the protective effect of limonene on UVB-induced photodamage and photoaging in immortalized human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT) in vitro. Initially, we determined cell viability and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. Pretreatment with limonene increased cell viability followed by inhibition of intracellular ROS generation in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. Interestingly, the antioxidative activity of limonene was directly correlated with an increase in expression of endogenous antioxidants, including heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1), and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-GCLC), which was associated with enhanced nuclear translocation and activation of NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2). Indeed, Nrf2 knockdown reduced limonene's protective effects. Additionally, we observed that limonene treatment inhibited UVB-induced α-MSH secretion followed by inhibition of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) via suppression of p53 transcriptional activation. Moreover, limonene prevented UVB-mediated depletion of tight junction regulatory proteins, including occludin and zonula occludens-1. On the other hand, limonene treatment significantly decreased matrix metalloproteinase-2 levels in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. Based on these results, limonene may have a dermato-protective effect in skin cells by activating the Nrf2-dependent cellular antioxidant defense system.

    Abstract The most significant topic currently under the moonlight is Nanobiotechnology and engineered nanomaterials. The novel characteristics displayed by engineered Nanomaterials, especially carbon-based nanomaterials, have spurred interest in its potential application in the food industry. It has provided opportunities for finding solutions to the long-standing challenges in the food industry to assess food safety, maintain food quality, extend the shelf life of produce, and efficiently deliver nutrients. Nanomaterials can be incorporated in food sensors facilitating efficient monitoring of crop maturity and detecting biological and chemical contaminants. When integrated into food packages, nanomaterials could aid in assessing the freshness and improving the quality of packaged foods. In addition, more efficient delivery of nutrients could be possible in foods fortified using nano compounds. The initial section of this review gives an overview of the broad application of nanotechnology in the food industry and carbon-based nanomaterials. The latter part focuses on nanotechnology in biosensors for food safety and quality monitoring.

    Abstract The development of eco-friendly chemicals and material-based electrode systems with a reduced carbon footprint is a novel initiative for future technological applications. While electrochemical systems based on plant phytochemicals meet the requirements, comprehending the fundamental electron-transfer reactions and preparing stable surface-confined redox systems pose significant research challenges. In this study, we have demonstrated an in situ electrochemical reaction-assisted entrapment of redox-active betanin molecular species from native beetroot plants on a carbon black-modified glassy carbon surface (GCE/CB@Betn-Redox, where Betn-Redox stands for redox-active betanin molecular species) in a pH 2.2 KCl-HCl solution. In general, direct access to native plant phytochemicals is a formidable task due to the matrix effect. Isolating the desired phytochemicals necessitates a series of time-consuming chemical separation steps. Unlike previous literature reports on the unstable nature of Betn, GCE/CB@Betn-Redox exhibited a stable and well-defined proton-coupled electron-transfer peak at an apparent electrode potential,

    Abstract In recent times, there has been growing attention towards exploring the nutritional and functional aspects of potato protein, along with its diverse applications. In the present study, we examined the anti-osteoclast properties of potato protein hydrolysate (PP902) in vitro. Murine macrophages (RAW264.7) were differentiated into osteoclasts by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), and PP902 was examined for its inhibitory effect. Initially, treatment with PP902 was found to significantly prevent RANKL-induced morphological changes in macrophage cells, as determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining analysis. This notion was further supported by F-actin analysis using a confocal microscope. Furthermore, PP902 treatment effectively and dose-dependently down-regulated the expression of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenic marker genes, including TRAP, CTR, RANK, NFATc1, OC-STAMP, and c-Fos. These inhibitory effects were associated with suppressing NF-κB transcriptional activation and subsequent reduced nuclear translocation. The decrease in NF-κB activity resulted from reduced activation of its upstream kinases, including I-κBα and IKKα. Moreover, PP902 significantly inhibited RANKL-induced p38MAPK and ERK1/2 activities. Nevertheless, PP902 treatment prevents RANKL-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species generation via increased HO-1 activity. The combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of PP902 resulted in significant suppression of osteoclastogenesis, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy for osteoclast-related diseases.

    Abstract Heavy metal pollution has become a serious global threat in recent times which are mostly caused by anthropogenic activities. Bioremediation is cost-effective and eco-friendly technique. In the present study, bioremediation of the co-metal was performed by isolating chromium (Cr) and arsenic (As) resistant bacterial strains and its optimisation of different environmental parameters such as pH, temperature, carbon sources, nitrogen sources and vari+ous concentrations of chromium and arsenic were studied. The isolated co-culture bacterial strains were identified with biochemical and molecular identification using 16s RNA sequencing. Further, a lab-scale soil bioreactor was set up and mineralisation of chromium and arsenic was observed using different heavy metal contaminated soil samples. About 51.1% Chromium was mineralised by the co-culture, 26.7% in cycle 2, 22% in cycle 3 and 34.2% in cycle 4 respectively. The Arsenic mineralisation was 16.7%,23.7%,35.4% and 35.8% at the end of 4 cycles. The final mineralised concentration was analysed by Inductively coupled plasma optical emission Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) resulting in 29.9 of Chromium and Arsenic 0.083 mg/L respectively. The physico-chemical parameters, such as pH, temperature, TS, TDS, BOD and COD were monitored for the mineralisation study in the soil slurry bioreactor. The study proved that there was effective mineralisation of the co-metals with the cocultures of the isolated bacterial strains from the metal contaminated site.
