The agricultural organic farming is different from conventional farming in a way that is aimed at providing a balanced and constructive action in agricultural systems. With the increase in intensive agriculture, undesirable changes were being observed in ecosystems with irreparable damage being caused to the natural equilibrium. This is the reason for the increasing interest in organic farming ...

Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica) is a seasonal and highly nutritious fruit with shorter shelf-life astringent taste limiting its utilization. The enzymatic browning flavor loss are major concerns which makes pre-processing crucial step for further processing. In this context, dry microwave blanching (MWB) was explored as an alternative to hot-water (HW) reduce nutrition losses particular...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extracts of four fruits Indian gooseberry, mango, star fruit and wood apple on the oxidative changes in hepatic tissue exposed to sodium fluoride in vitro. Liver homogenates were exposed to NaF and subsequently treated with ethanolic extracts of fruits and the levels of antioxidants (ascorbic acid, superoxide...

We studied the effect of calyx cape gooseberry nanoparticles manufactured by a novel technique. There are several methods, such as jet mill, spray freezing, supercritical anti-solvent technique (SAS), and high-pressure homogenization, available for production drug micro/nanoparticles to improve solubility. Anti-solvent precipitation is also used prepare micro- nanosized particles explain their ...

Adsorption and desorption isotherms of fresh and dried Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) were determined at three temperatures (20, 40 and 60 °C) using a gravimetric technique. The data obtained were fitted to several models including Guggenheim-Anderson-De Boer (GAB), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Henderson, Caurie, Smith, Oswin, Halsey and Iglesias-Chirife. A non-linear least square reg...
