Comparative Assessment of Three Medicinal Plants against Diabetes and Oxidative Stress Using Experimental and Computational Approaches. [PDF]
The hilly and rural areas’ people of Bangladesh have a great history of putting into use numerous traditional medicinal plants to cure diseases. Therefore, with ethanol extract of Molineria capitulata (EEMC), methanol extract of Trichosanthes tricuspidata (METT), and methanol extract of Amorphophallus campanulatus (MEAC), we mandate evaluation of in ...

Fabrication and Characterization of a pH-Responsive Intelligent Packaging Film From Amorphophallus paeoniifolius Starch and Clitoria ternatea Extract for Real-Time Chicken Freshness Monitoring. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop a pH‐sensitive intelligent packaging film using starch extracted from elephant foot yam (EFY) (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius). The starch was dual‐modified and blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and anthocyanin‐rich Clitoria ternatea extract (CTE) to produce composite films capable of real‐time chicken meat ...

Characterization and digestogram modeling of modified elephant foot yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius) starch using ultrasonic pretreated autoclaving [PDF]
Abstract Native elephant foot yam starch (EFYS) is highly digestible, and it is not recommendable for consumption by diabetic and obese people. To address this problem, the current study focuses on the amendments in various properties (such as functional properties, whiteness index, amylose content, morphology, and digestion) of EFYS using ...

Green banana (Musa spp.) is a significant source of starch (resistant starch ∼50%), phenolics and flavonoid compounds, and minerals (K, Mg, Zn, and Fe). The utilization of green bananas in their fresh form is limited, whereas the drying of bananas provides the opportunity to use them for various purposes.
