Synthesis of Nano-Crystalline Whiskers of Cheese and Their Efficacy against Cadmium Toxicity

Context and objective: A novel method of fabricating probiotic nanowhiskers—using pure cheese as a source probiotics, sans metal/chemical surfactants—is reported in the present study. Materials methods: This was followed by an extensive characterization; FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, particle size measurements, transmission electron microscopy. Thermal analysis via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) n screening volatile compounds gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) used to assess purity nano-crystalline whiskers. Additionally, anti-oxidant status metal-chelating effect nanowhiskers evaluated Wistar rats exposed cadmium chloride hydrate (70 ppm) for 35 days. Group I positive control groups II III were Cd, with group being treated (100 mL/L) drinking water. Results: The nanoparticles 112 nm (PDI 0.484) illustrated whisker/elongated shape crystalline nature. Lipid peroxidation significantly enhanced marked bioaccumulation Cd target organs. Discussion: Co-treatment led reversal Cd-induced modulations endpoints evaluated. Conclusions: It is suggested that dietary intervention form nano-probiotic supplement such prospective remedy heavy metal toxicity/oxidative damage, safe efficacious.
