The raising concern of drug resistance, having substantial impacts on public health, has instigated the search of new natural compounds with substantial medicinal activity. In order to find out a natural solution, the current study has utilized prodigiosin, a linear tripyrrole red pigment, as an active ingredient to control bacterial proliferation...

Every moment huge amounts of industrial wastewater are contaminating our surface/groundwater sources by discharging into the environment directly. This crude wastewater is the most problematic subject because it is the matrix of hazardous toxicants, which can drastically damage public health-safety. So, it is urgent to purify before discharging/reu...

Curcuma longa L. (turmeric), Beta vulgaris L. (beetroot), and Daucus carota L. (carrot) grown in Bangladesh were analyzed for nutritional and phytochemical contents to reveal their comparative nutritional compositions and antiradical properties. Ash, protein, and carbohydrate content were significantly preeminent in beetroot as compared to others....

Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) is a widely grown vegetable in Bangladesh and is known as the sole supplier of various nutrients. Many studies evidence the nutritional value of flesh and seed while peel, flower, and leaves were reported scarcely with limited information. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the nutritional composition and antioxida...

Amaranthus tricolor (red amaranth) is an important member of the Amaranthus species ubiquitously cultivated worldwide for its valuable constituents. In this study, the determination of important nutrients, minerals, amino acids, phytochemicals, carotenes, antiradical activity, and antibacterial activity of the entire part of the red amaranth plant...

This study aimed at analyzing the proximate compositions (moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, ash content) and minerals (iron and phosphorous) of some commercial fish feeds (FF) and poultry feeds (PF) available in the local market of the Rajshahi City Corporation area of Bangladesh. In addition, results were compared with the company labeled nutr...

Aims: The present study evaluates the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of the crude dichloromethane (CDCME), ethyl acetate (CEAE), and methanol (CMeE) extracts from the plant Oldenlandia corymbosa L. Background:Oldenlandia species have been popular among the people of the Indian subcontinent to treat several types of internal and external...

Morus alba has potential therapeutic value in different medicinal parts. We investigated the chemical differences presence in the methanolic extract (ME) of leaves, stem and root M. alba using GC-MS technique. GC-MS based phyto-chemical profiling revealed the presence of potent bioactive components in methanolic extracts of different parts (leaves,...

The outermost layer of human skin is epidermis which provides a consistent barrier to human from many agent including the exposure to UV irradiation. Ultraviolet light emitted from the sun is highly prevalent on earth. The ozone layer completely filters out the very harmful UV-C (100-280 nm) component, and most of UV-B (280-315 nm), but a large fra...
