Biological Activity Of Crab Shell Mediated Silver Nanocomposites Against Bacteria Via Minimum Inhibition Concentration And DNA Fragmenatation In MCF 7
type: item
description: Crab shells represent an abundant source of chitosan, a biodegradable biopolymer with limited bioactivity in bulk form. To overcome this limitation, chitosan was converted into silver Nano composites. The objective of this study was to evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration and DNA fragmentation analysis of potential chitosan Nano composites derived from mud crab and sea crab shells. The minimum inhibitory activity was assessed against E. coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, using various concentrations to determine the microbial inhibition concentration. Further DNA fragmentation assay was carried out against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. This study aims to develop eco-friendly chitosan-based Nano composites from marine waste for biomedical applications.

Study of Intermolecular Interactions in (Ethanol+ n- Heptanol + Acrylonitrile) Ternary Mixture Through Thermo-acoustic and Excess Parameters at Different Temperatures
type: item
description: This research investigates the intermolecular interactions in the ternary liquid mixture of ethanol, n-heptanol, and acrylonitrile using thermo-acoustic parameters at 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K under atmospheric pressure. Ultrasonic velocity, viscosity, as well as density were experimentally measured over the entire composition range, and thermo-acoustic parameters like acoustic impedance, intermolecular free length, adiabatic compressibility, internal pressure, relaxation time, and free volume were evaluated using standard relations. The dip in ultrasonic density, velocity, along with acoustic impedance, together with the increase in intermolecular free length as well as adiabatic compressibility with rising ethanol concentration, indicates a gradual weakening of the self-associated hydrogen-bonded network of n-heptanol and reduced molecular packing. Rise in internal pressure and relaxation time proposes creation of heteromolecular associations through hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups of ethanol and n-heptanol, along with dipole–dipole interactions involving the nitrile group of acrylonitrile. The observed variations demonstrate that the liquid structure is governed by the balance between the disruption of alcohol self-association and the formation of unlike molecular interactions. Increasing temperature weakens these interactions due to enhanced thermal agitation, resulting in reduced molecular association and structural ordering. The results confirm that thermo-acoustic parameters provide valuable insight in intermolecular interactions as well as structural behaviour of ethanol + n-heptanol + acrylonitrile ternary liquid system.

Fatty Acid Profiles of Wild Anadara granosa (Blood Clam) and Farmed Penaeus vannamei (Shrimp) with Reference to Human Nutrition and Functional Health Benefits
type: item
description: This study presents a comparative analysis of the fatty acid composition in two economically important seafood species: the wild blood clam Anadara granosa collected from the east coast of India and the farmed Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei, collected from the culture ponds of India. Lipids were extracted and purified using column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), followed by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiling through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 12 fatty acids were identified in A. granosa and 8 in P. vannamei, including saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. A. granosa exhibited significantly higher levels of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid (C18:2) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6), while P. vannamei was characterized by a greater proportion of oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid associated with cardiovascular health benefits. Statistical analysis revealed significant interspecies differences (p < 0.05) in several key fatty acids, notably in DHA (1.14% in A. granosa, absent in P. vannamei) and oleic acid (17.32% in P. vannamei). These findings highlight the nutritional superiority of A. granosa in terms of essential fatty acid content and support its potential as a cost-effective, health-promoting alternative to shrimp in human diets.

Employment Opportunities and Skill Development in Marine Fisheries Sector under Viksit Bharat 2047
type: item
description: Indian fisheries sector is receiving increasing attention and policy support owing to the livelihood and foreign exchange potential of the sector apart from its nutritional significance. The Government of India has initiated Blue Revolution to augment the fish production and to strengthen the fish-based value chain. But unequipped manpower is often highlighted as one of the major deterrents for leveraging the full potential in harvest and post-harvest fisheries sector, which is highly skill intensive in nature. The issue would emerge more serious in case of marine fisheries. In this paper, we attempted to deliberate on the issue of skill-deficit that would emerge in harvest and post-harvest sectors of marine fisheries sector in India, and suggest measures to address them.

Regional Differentials in the Socio-Demographic Status of Scheduled Tribes in North East and Mainland India
type: item
description: India is home to one of the largest indigenous populations in the world, officially recognized as Scheduled Tribes (STs), who constitute 104.28 million people (8.6%) of the country's population according to the Census of India (2011). Despite constitutional safeguards and affirmative development policies, substantial regional disparities persist in the socio-demographic status of tribal communities. The present study aims to comparatively examine the socio-demographic characteristics of tribal communities in North East and Mainland India, with particular emphasis on population distribution, education, employment, livelihood patterns, and overall developmental conditions. The study is based entirely on secondary data obtained from the Census of India (2011), National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21), National Sample Survey (NSS), Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), Ministry of Tribal Affairs, National Statistical Office (NSO), NITI Aayog, and other government reports and peer-reviewed literature. A comparative descriptive research design was adopted, and information was synthesized using thematic analysis and descriptive statistical techniques. The findings reveal that tribal communities in North East India generally exhibit more favourable socio-demographic outcomes than those in Mainland India. Several North Eastern states have tribal-majority populations with relatively higher literacy, better female education, lower school dropout rates, greater occupational diversification, stronger political representation, and comparatively better preservation of indigenous institutions and cultural identity. In contrast, tribal communities in many mainland states continue to experience lower educational attainment, greater dependence on agriculture and forest-based livelihoods, higher informal employment and seasonal migration, and persistent poverty, together with limited access to quality education and healthcare. These disparities are primarily shaped by differences…

History or Tragedy?: Reassessing Marlowe’s EDWARD II
type: item
description: Heavy metal contamination of wastewater is a significant environmental issue due to the toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation potential of metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn). Conventional treatment methods are often costly and generate secondary pollutants. Biochar derived from bamboo has emerged as a sustainable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly adsorbent for heavy metal remediation. Bamboo biochar possesses a highly porous structure, large specific surface area, abundant functional groups, and excellent adsorption capacity. This review summarizes the production, physicochemical properties, adsorption mechanisms, factors affecting adsorption, modification strategies, and recent applications of bamboo biochar for heavy metal removal from wastewater.

Compensating The Innocent: A Critical Analysis Of The Regulatory Framework For Wrongful Prosecution
type: item
description: In this paper, the author has sought to critically analyse the regulatory framework in India that addresses compensation for victims of Wrongful Prosecution. The victims of Wrongful Prosecution are victimized in a variety of ways by the Indian criminal justice system, such that there are no provisions in the existing laws governing the grant of compensation to assist and support them. In the present situation, they are completely at the mercy of the State, society, and the courts. The currently available solutions are complex and insufficient, and the current state restitution processes are atrociously deficient. The development of the notion of welfare states reflects the need to compensate such innocent victims to a great extent. The paper analyses the international-level mechanism for the right of compensation. The role and the approach of the Supreme Court of India to grant compensation in cases involving false accusations, unjustified detention, and physical damage has been discussed. It also looks into the existing gaps in the relevant statutes. An important part of this paper is determining whether a statutory law or legal mechanism is required to provide victims of Wrongful Prosecution with prompt, efficient, and cost-effective justice. In conclusion, this paper highlights the many problems and difficulties associated with compensation in the Indian Legal system and offers recommendations to address the inadequate remedies available to those who have been wrongfully prosecuted. This paper highlights the urgent need for an effective statutory framework mandating compensation for victims of Wrongful Prosecution, alongside necessary amendments to the existing laws governing compensatory provisions.

Determination of the Pollination Efficacy in Apis mellifera L. Colony Level on Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
type: item
description: The series of trials were carried for this initiative at Barani Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Chakwal (Pakistan) to examine the impact of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) pollination efficacy on cucumber (Cucumis sativus) crop and discussed three main studies. i. Pollen transported by honey bees and foraging rate on cucurbit crops. For this purpose two bee colonies were placed in study plot. In both colonies the maximum no. of pollen load and maximum mean weight of pollen load 37% and 36 % obtained from early hours of the day from 10 am to 12 pm while study revealed that foraging activities of bees reduced after noon ii. Figuring out of substitute honeybee pollen sources on cucurbit crops revealed that ten distinct plant types, containing Cucumis sativus were recognized as main exploration basis for Apis mellifera. Out of these 10 fluorescent resources half were found to be crops plant and other half were weed plants. It has also been realized that when the most of the plants are in flowering, bee foraging activities are at their maximum (From the end of March. to start of May). Throughout this time, C. sativus was the most important bee forager in terms of pollen and nectar. iii. Impact of weather conditions on foraging rate of bees on cucurbits. This study revealed that in all significant pair-wise comparisons for March to July 2019, where A. mellifera visits to Cucumber flowers was found to be the greatest during the month of April and May 2019 and lowest in the month of June and July 2019. From April (22.45 oC) to July (30.25 oC) 2019, the cumulative increasing temperature was considerably higher at BARI, Chakwal, Pakistan, where the study was carried out.

Carnal Transgression and Spiritual Quest in John Updike’s Rabbit Angstrom: A Tetralsogy
type: item
description: This paper examines the complex intersection of physical transgression and metaphysical longing in John Updike’s Rabbit tetralogy Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit is Rich; Rabbit at Rest. It argues that Harry Rabbit Angstrom’s relentless, often destructive pursuit of carnal experience is not merely a symptom of moral failure or suburban boredom, but a misdirected spiritual quest for the numinous in a secularized post war America. Infused with Karl Barth’s neo orthodox theology and Søren Kierkegaard’s existential anxiety, Updike constructs Rabbit’s insatiable physical appetite as a clumsy, tragic search for grace. By analyzing the structural parallels between Rabbit’s sexual transgressions and his moments of existential crisis, this study demonstrates how the domestic and corporeal realities of the novels serve as the primary battlegrounds for spiritual survival. This present study contends that Updike uses the failing, aging body of his protagonist to illustrate the tragic paradox of the human condition the impossible desire to reconcile eternal spiritual longing with a finite, mortal anatomy.

Excellance Of Ayurveda And Challenges In Revival Of Ayurveda: Demand Of Present Health Needs
type: item
description: Ayurveda is an ancient science for maintenance of health and cure of disease. It is explained in ‘sutra’ form and not explained in detailed descriptive manner. In 21st century, the science of Ayurveda is getting demanded and explored. This exploration needs proper understanding and execution. Understanding can be enhanced by utilization of basics of modern science. Basic science may, not only help to understand but also validate wisdom of Ayurveda. For example, lifestyle disorders are the result of wrong diet and regimen in day to day life, in context to time, place, age etc. It is described in Ayurveda in detail. It is described in Ayurveda, at various place like in the description of Dincharya, Ritucharya and many other places, that specific diet and regimen should be followed according to Prakriti, Kala, Desha, Vaya etc. to maintain the health. The health or healthy condition of body is also defined in Ayurveda in detailed manner. A very big and important part of this science is oriented towards prevention of disease by promoting health. Along with this many solutions are described, in the form of lifestyle, to resolve the problems of lifestyle disorders. There are so many other basic concepts are there, like above, in Ayurveda which need to be explored.

title: Characterization of the NarS/NarL and KdpD/KdpE Two-Component Signal Transduction Systems in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Recombinant Protein Expression, Polyclonal Antibody Development, and Construction of Gene Knockout Vectors
description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives hostile host environments through two-component regulatory systems (TCSs), including the NarS/NarL and KdpD/KdpE pathways, which play important roles in environmental sensing and bacterial adaptation. This study aimed to characterize these signaling systems by expressing recombinant NarS, NarL, KdpD, and KdpE proteins in Escherichia coli. The proteins were purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and polyclonal antibodies against NarL and KdpE were generated in rabbits. Antibody specificity and titre were evaluated using ELISA and Western blotting. A suicide delivery vector was also constructed by cloning the downstream homologous region of the NarS/NarL genes into the p2NIL vector for targeted gene knockout in Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The recombinant proteins and antibodies demonstrated high specificity and are suitable for functional studies. The constructed knockout vector provides a valuable tool for investigating gene function through homologous recombination. Overall, this study establishes important molecular resources for understanding bacterial stress adaptation, signal transduction, and virulence regulation in M. tuberculosis, thereby supporting future tuberculosis research and therapeutic target identification.

Nutritional and Functional Properties of Tulsi and Curry Leaves
type: item
description: Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) and curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) are among the most extensively utilized medicinal herbs in Indian traditional dietary practices with significant nutritional and therapeutic potential. These leaves are rich in critical vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and bioactive phytochemicals, including polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and essential oils, and are thus important for human health beyond their culinary uses. Their various functional qualities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and immunomodulatory activities have been extensively studied in experimental and clinical investigations. Regular use of tulsi and curry leaves in the diet may be useful in reducing oxidative stress, improving metabolic health, improving immunological function and reducing the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. Besides their health supporting benefits, these herbs have attracted increasing interest as a natural element in the development of functional foods, nutraceuticals and plant-based medicinal formulations. This review objectively explores the nutritional makeup, bioactive ingredients, functional qualities, modes of action and possible applications of tulsi and curry leaves in the food and health industries. The present research highlights the value of tulsi and curry leaves as easily accessible, inexpensive, and nutrient-rich botanical resources that could help to enhance nutrition, prevent disease and promote public health.

Addressing the Critical Research Gaps in Image Processing for the Grocery Industry
type: item
description: This article provides an in-depth examination of the existing shortcomings and unresolved challenges in the field of image processing for estimating the surface area and volume of grocery items. While significant advances have been made through the integration of 2D and 3D imaging, machine learning, and computer vision, critical research gaps continue to hinder practical application in dynamic retail environments. Current 2D methods, though cost-effective, often fall short in handling irregular shapes, complex textures, and real-time processing requirements. Volume estimation is further complicated by 3D modelling difficulties, variations between packaged and unpackaged goods, and a lack of models that generalize across diverse product types. Additionally, computational constraints, such as the trade-off between algorithmic accuracy and processing speed, limit the scalability of these technologies. Environmental factors like lighting and positioning also impact algorithmic robustness. To overcome these hurdles, this research advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration—combining robotics, AI, and smart packaging—to develop more adaptable, standardized, and scalable image processing solutions for the grocery industry

Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Pathogenic Vibrio Associated with White Feces Syndrome in Penaeus vannamei and their Antibiotic Susceptibility
type: item
description: White gut disease (WGD) is an emerging threat to shrimp aquaculture, significantly impacting production and profitability. This study aimed to investigate the bacterial diversity associated with WGD in shrimp and antibiotic susceptibility. The total bacterial count (TBC) and total Vibrio count (TVC) were determined in digestive tracts and haemolymph of both Normal and WGD-affected shrimp. The TBC and TVC in the digestive tracts of WGD-affected shrimp were substantially higher (1.5×10⁸ CFU/g and 1.41×10⁷ CFU/g) compared to Normal shrimp (2×10⁵ CFU/g and 0.43×10⁴ CFU/g). Similarly, in haemolymph, TBC and TVC in WGD-affected shrimp (0.6×10⁸ CFU/ml and 0.62×10⁶ CFU/ml) were elevated relative to healthy shrimp (0.51×10⁵ CFU/ml and 0.27×10⁵ CFU/ml). A total of seven distinct bacterial isolates (V1-V7) were isolated from WGD-affected shrimp and characterized based on morphological, biochemical, and molecular analyses. Molecular characterization through 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed species as Providencia stuartii, Vibrio campbellii, Vibrio alginolyticus, Shewanella algae and Shewanella carassii. Shewanella carassii was identified as the same species but with different strains. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed isolates Vibrio campbellii, Vibrio alginolyticus, Shewanella carassii exhibited resistance to Penicillin-G, and Vibrio alginolyticus, Shewanella carassii resistance to Ampicillin whereas Providencia stuartii exhibited resistance to Tetracycline and Furazolidone. These findings highlight the pathogenic bacterial community associated with WGD and underscore the need for effective disease management strategies in shrimp aquaculture.

Representations of Women's Agency and Gendered Subjectivity in Preeti Shenoy's Selected Novels: A Liberal Feminist Analysis
type: item
description: Women's identities are typically shaped by ideals of family honour, obedience, and household duties rather than self-expression or individual independence in highly patriarchal settings where women are subject to patriarchal standards. Gendered subjectivity is the extent to which cultural norms and gender norms influence women's self-perceptions, emotional lives, and self-beliefs. Most literary depictions of women's internal struggles also emphasise how these norms influence women's emotions and choices. Through Preeti Shenoy's selected novels, Life Is What You Make It, Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake, The Secret Wishlist, It Happens for a Reason, and The Rule Breakers, this paper aims to delineate how her female protagonists' gender identities are constructed. They can redefine femininity as active and compassionate, rather than passive and submissive, through relational and feminist agency.

The Nutritional And Medicinal Benefits Of Mushroom Cultivation: A Sustainable Approach To Food Security
type: item
description: Mushroom cultivation offers a sustainable and multidimensional approach to strengthening food security under increasing demographic, environmental, and resource pressures. This review evaluates the nutritional, medicinal, environmental, and socioeconomic contributions of mushroom farming within sustainable food systems. Mushrooms provide high-quality proteins, essential amino acids, dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins, vitamin D2, minerals, and antioxidant compounds, supporting dietary diversification and nutritional improvement. Their bioactive constituents, including polysaccharides, β-glucans, triterpenoids, lectins, ergothioneine, and glutathione, contribute to antimicrobial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anticancer, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and antidiabetic effects. Mushroom cultivation also supports environmental sustainability by requiring limited land and water, enabling indoor and vertical production, utilizing agricultural and food-processing wastes, reducing landfill burdens, and promoting circular economy practices. Mycelial systems further contribute to organic matter transformation, nutrient cycling, and the development of biodegradable materials. Socioeconomically, mushroom farming offers low-cost livelihood opportunities, supports smallholder participation, encourages rural entrepreneurship, and contributes to women’s empowerment. Despite these advantages, wider adoption is constrained by strict cultivation requirements, contamination risks, limited strain improvement, short shelf life, and post-harvest losses. Advances in biotechnology, preservation technologies, value-added products, and supportive policy frameworks can improve scalability and market integration. Overall, mushroom cultivation represents a viable strategy for linking nutrition, health promotion, environmental sustainability, and rural development in future food security programs.

Spatiotemporal distribution and composition of phytoplankton assemblages in Bhitarkanika: A Mangrove Estuary
type: item
description: Phytoplankton form the foundation of aquatic food webs and are sensitive indicators of environmental conditions in estuarine ecosystems. This study assessed the spatiotemporal distribution of phytoplankton in the Bhitarkanika mangrove-estuarine ecosystem, Odisha, India, and examined their relationship with key physicochemical variables. Sampling was conducted at 28 stations across Bhitarkanika National Park, Dhamra River and Gahirmatha during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Water quality parameters, including temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, total suspended solids, turbidity, and nutrients, were analysed using standard methods. Phytoplankton abundance, chlorophyll-a, and total chlorophyll were determined through laboratory and algal analyser-based assessments. Results showed significant seasonal variations in environmental conditions and phytoplankton dynamics. Post-monsoon conditions were associated with lower salinity and temperature, higher nutrient availability, and greater phytoplankton abundance. Mean phytoplankton density increased from 251.5 ± 102.0 no. mL⁻¹ in the pre-monsoon period to 589.0 ± 766.2 no. mL⁻¹ in the post-monsoon period. Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) increased markedly during the post-monsoon season, while diatoms and cryptophytes were comparatively less represented. Correlation analysis revealed positive relationships between phytoplankton abundance, chlorophyll concentrations, and nutrient levels, particularly nitrate, ammonia, and orthophosphate. In contrast, dissolved oxygen showed strong negative relationships with phytoplankton biomass and chlorophyll-a. Multivariate analyses identified salinity, nutrient availability, suspended solids, and turbidity as major factors influencing phytoplankton distribution and community structure. These findings highlight the role of monsoon-driven hydrological and biogeochemical processes in regulating phytoplankton assemblages within the Bhitarkanika mangr…

Nutraceutical Prospects of Rhododendron arboreum (Buransh): A Comprehensive Phytochemical Assessment
type: item
description: Rhododendron arboreum (Buransh) is a State tree of Uttarakhand, India and is iconic Himalayan tree species. This study provides an integrated phytochemical profile of Buransh flower with a special emphasis on the nutraceutical potential of the flowers. The total flavonoids, total phenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids and flavanols were found to be exceptionally high in flower petals (1276.5mg/100ml, 956.5mg/100ml, 154.8mg/L, 2685µg/100ml and 288.7mg/100ml respectively) and the total antioxidant capacity was 70.4mM Trolox equivalent/L. The major bioactive components, such as quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, gallic acid, and ferulic acid exhibit proven cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and hepatoprotective effects in both in vitro and in vivo settings. The moisture content was high (79.4%) while the mineral profile was safe as the minerals like iron, manganese, zinc were found to be present in therapeutic levels (405 ppm, 50.2 ppm and 32 ppm, respectively) and heavy metals were found to be below the permissible limits set by WHO/FAO. The total antioxidant activity found to be 70.4 mM Trolox equivalent/L is greater than commercially available nutraceutical drinks like blueberry juice and pomegranate juice. The study also assesses the industrial formulation potential of Buransh in functional beverages, herbal supplements, cosmeceuticals and pharmaceutical excipients. With the introduction of the Geographical Indication (GI) brand for Uttarakhand Buransh in 2023 (GI No. 866, Certificate No. 523), the need for commercial standardization is justifiable both scientifically and economically. The study concludes that the flowers of Buransh are a potential high value nutraceutical ingredient, which has great potential to formulate standardized nutraceuticals, herbal supplements and anti-oxidative therapeutics, thus making R. arboreum a potential flagship Himalayan plant for the global nutraceutical and functional food market.

Growth Performance Of Litopenaeus Vannamei In Response To Stocking Density Under Contrasting Salinity Conditions In Andhra Pradesh, India
type: item
description: The present study was aimed at establishing information on the growth rates of Litopenaeus vannamei cultured for one crop under different salinity and stocking density conditions, namely low salinity with low stocking density, low salinity with high stocking density, high salinity with low stocking density, and high salinity with high stocking density. The average values of pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and temperature in ponds with low salinity and low stocking density were 8.04, 5ppt, 6.0 ppm, 0.48 ppm, and 28.22°C, respectively. In ponds with low salinity and high stocking density, the corresponding values were 8.39, 6 ppt, 5.53ppm, 0.61ppm, and 28.05°C, respectively. Similarly, the average values of pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and temperature in ponds with high salinity and low stocking density were 8.31, 20 ppt, 4.92 ppm, 0.61 ppm, and 28.64°C, respectively. In contrast, ponds with high salinity and high stocking density recorded values of 7.98, 18 ppt, 5.13 ppm, 0.66 ppm, and 28.23°C, respectively. The results clearly demonstrated that stocking density exhibited an inverse relationship with shrimp growth. Lower stocking densities resulted in superior growth performance and higher production efficiency, whereas higher stocking densities adversely affected growth and reduced production rates. The findings indicate that optimizing stocking density is essential for maximizing the growth and production performance of L. vannamei under varying salinity conditions.

Solvent-Dependent Extraction and Regional Bioactivity Variance in Psidium guajava: A Multi-Region Assessment of Antimicrobial Spectrum and Antioxidant Efficacy
type: item
description: Background: The therapeutic efficacy of Psidium guajava (L.) Merr. is significantly influenced by the polarity of the extraction solvent and geographic provenance. However, multi-regional comparative studies integrating solvent-dependent phytochemical partitioning with biological activity are limited. This study investigates the influence of three distinct Indian geographic regions and three solvent systems on the phytochemical profile, antimicrobial spectrum, and antioxidant capacity of guava leaf extracts. Methods: Leaves were collected from Tamil Nadu (TN; tropical lowland), Himachal Pradesh (HP; temperate foothills), and Uttarakhand (UK; sub-Himalayan mid-hills). Sequential extraction was performed using petroleum ether (PE), n-butyl alcohol (NBA), and distilled water (AQ). Qualitative phytochemical screening was conducted. Antimicrobial activity was assessed by the agar well diffusion method against six clinically relevant pathogens. Antioxidant capacity was quantified using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays. GC-MS profiling was performed on an Agilent 7890A/5975C system. Results: Phytochemical diversity varied significantly, with Uttarakhand extracts exhibiting the highest class diversity (17/18), followed by Tamil Nadu (14/18) and Himachal Pradesh (12/18). The n-butyl alcohol fraction was the most bioactively potent. Antimicrobial testing revealed a regional hierarchy of TN > UK > HP against most pathogens, with Staphylococcus aureus demonstrating the highest susceptibility (ZOI: 20.7 mm for TN-NBA). DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity followed a regional hierarchy of TN > HP > UK, with Tamil Nadu achieving the highest radical scavenging capacity (82.2% DPPH, 61.75% ABTS), followed by Himachal Pradesh (79.80% DPPH, 57.45% ABTS) and Uttarakhand (78.5% DPPH, 55.75% ABTS). GC-MS profiling identified three distinct regional chemotypes: flavonoid-glycoside (TN), sesquiterpene-phytosterol (HP), and phenolic acid-coumarin (UK). Conclusion: Geographic ori…
