Abstract Global warming causes a range of negative impacts on plants especially due to rapid changes in temperatures, alterations rainfall patterns, floods or drought conditions, and outbreaks pests diseases. These, turn, affect crop production reducing the quality quantity agricultural produce. Climatic extremes high population growth significantly increase world’s food demand. Therefore, fulfilling goal attaining security for present future generations is prime importance. Biotechnology enables creating dramatic crops withstand stress which difficult attain using conventional breeding approaches. It viable tool used improve production. The development biotechnological approaches such as genetic engineering, genome editing, RNA-mediated gene silencing armored with next-generation sequencing, mapping have paved way precise faster modifications plants. Such intensive efforts are currently underway desirable cultivars meet demand support sustainable productivity climate change adaptation.

Consumer interest and research in plant-based dairy analogues has been growing recent years because of increasingly negative implications animal-derived products on human health, animal wellbeing, the environment. However, face many challenges mimicking organoleptic properties due to their undesirable off-flavours textures. This article thus reviews fermentation as a viable pathway developing clean-label with satisfactory consumer acceptability. Discussions complementary strategies such raw material selection extraction technologies are also included. An overview plant materials potential be applied is first discussed, followed by review processing steps innovative techniques required transform these into functional ingredients aqueous extracts or flours for subsequent fermentation. Finally, various (bacterial, yeast, fungal) methodologies improvement texture other sensory qualities covered. Concerted efforts would future tailor optimise presented wide diversity options produce fermented that both delicious nutritionally adequate.

Plant mucilage is a renewable and cost-effective source of plant-based compounds that are biologically active, biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic, environmentally friendly. Until recently, plant has been interest mostly for technological purposes. This review examined both its traditional uses potential modern applications in new generation health-promoting foods, as well cosmetics biomaterials. We explored the nutritional, phytochemical, pharmacological richness mucilage, with particular focus on biological activity. also highlighted areas where more research needed order to understand full commercial mucilage.

Countries around the world are devising and implementing bioeconomy strategies to initiate transformation towards sustainable futures. Modern concepts of extend beyond bio-based energy provision include: (1) substitution fossil resource-based inputs various productive sectors, such as chemical industry construction sector, (2) more efficient, including new cascading uses biomass, (3) a low bulk, but high-value biologisation processes in agro-food, pharmaceutical, recycling industries. Outcomes past attempts at engineering transformation, however, proved be context-dependent contingent on appropriate governance measures.

In Thailand, wild yam, or Dioscorea hispida Dennst., is a starchy crop that usually underutilized in industry. The purpose of this study was to isolate the starch and extract phytochemical from D. use them cosmetics. Starch used instead talcum, which can cause pulmonary talcosis dusting powder formulas (DP 1-5). GC-MS identify bioactive components present ethanolic hispida. main compounds were identified as 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- (6.51%), stigmasta-5,22-dien-3-ol, (3.beta.,22E)- (6.41%), linoleic ethyl ester (5.72%), (Z,Z)-9,12-octadeca-dienoic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy-propyl (3.89%), campesterol (3.40%). Then, an ingredient facial sleeping mask gel (SM 1–SM 5). Stability tests, physical characteristics, enzyme inhibitions, sensitization dermal toxicity tests evaluate DP SM formulations. results showed fresh tubers 12.5% w/w content. findings demonstrated had restricted size distribution, ranging 2 4 μm, smooth surface polygonal. Following stability testing, color, odor, size, flowability all formulations did not significantly differ. SEM investigation revealed particles homogenous. For test, denoted no erythema skin irritation guinea pigs. After colors deeper, their viscosity slightly increased. pH change. contained Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts exhibited stable tyrosinase elastase inhibitory activities, respectively. pigs at level (not severe) SM, indicating redness developed. All these indicate plant has potential for cosmetics Furthermore, be made into beauty powder, more research should conducted develop effective remedy patients those with problems.
