Abstract Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reports say that the prevalence of infertility in India is between 3.9% and 16.8%. All Institute Medical Sciences has estimated 10% to 15% couples have fertility issues. traditional Siddha system medicine cites its literature on how a girl child can be healthy fertile female right from her menarche through day-to-day activities food habits. primary objective this study assess relationship lifestyle, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) identify medicinally valued foods are easily available common people, along with Varmam Yogasanam practices helpful maintaining body. secondary compare points daily stimulate these naturally. Materials Methods: Traditional texts like Gunapadam (Mooligai) , were used as sources for gathering information gynecological disorders such PCOS, amenorrhea, menorrhagia, anemia. Results: There nearly 35 plant families regularly our diet enhance physiological biological health women. Additionally, there 20 Dhasa Nadi Chakras Vaasi reproductive health. These naturally stimulated by incorporated customs. 10 Yogasanas chakras help reduce stress. Conclusion: This provides broad perspective managing influenced explores scientific basis behind cultural practices.

Sitophilus oryzae, Tribolium castaneum, confusum, Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Rhyzopertha dominica, Tenebrio molitor, Trogoderma granarium, Acarus siro, and Alphitobius diaperinus represent significant arthropod stored-product pests worldwide. To combat these noxious arthropods, the current study examines pesticidal effect of essential oils (EOs) derived from four aromatic plants, i.e., Illicium verum Hook. F., Citrus reticulata Blanco, Monodora myristica (Gaertn.) Dunal, Xylopia aethiopica (Dunal) A. Rich. Considering challenge pesticide resistance, focuses on assessing efficacy EOs as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetic insecticides. Two EO concentrations (500 1000 µL/kg wheat) were applied different life stages in bioassays. Mortality rates monitored over several days under controlled environmental conditions. The findings demonstrated that C. I. had elevated insecticidal effects, especially against larval stages, resulting 100% mortality species. On contrary, M. X. showed less overall despite their potency some pests. Both outperformed positive control, pirimiphos-methyl, assays. results highlight potential effective alternatives reducing use for integrated pest control management.

Objective: Illicium verum is an endemic plant of southern China, which the primary country for its production. Trans-anethole ( t -anethole) key component volatile aromatic essence in I. , and it has therapeutic effects such as anti-cancer anti-diabetes. However, biosynthetic pathway rarely reported. Methods: In present study, we cloned expressed cDNA encoding -anol/isoeugenol synthase (IvAIS1) Escherichia coli . The characteristics IvAIS1 were determined gene expression different tissues was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: protein 76% identical to Schisandra chinensis isoeugenol synthase, two proteins clustered closely together clade IGS EGS. exhibits NADPH-dependent enzyme activity dual product specificity, converts coumaryl acetate coniferyl -anol (the precursor isoeugenol, respectively. Km values 438.4 ± 44.3 μM 480.30 86.61 μM, catalytic efficiency found be higher than that acetate. profiles showed accumulated roots, leaves, fruits, but levels relatively low stems flowers Conclusions: This study a putative responsible converting verum. It expands our current knowledge enzymes involved -anethole biosynthesis.

White brined cheeses, particularly Bulgarian white cheese, are emblematic of the Balkans and northeastern Mediterranean culinary traditions, characterized by aging in brine to ensure microbial safety distinctive sensory qualities. Carum carvi L. (caraway), a plant renowned for its aromatic profile, is gaining recognition antimicrobial properties. This study evaluated efficacy caraway essential oil (rich carvone, 69.8%, limonene, 28.19%) as natural preservative focusing on activity against Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus. The results demonstrated that at concentration 0.12% (v/v), effectively inhibited growth, completely suppressing E. even under high contamination loads significantly reducing S. aureus within 24 h. minimum bactericidal was identified 0.25% (v/v) both cheese brine. Importantly, organoleptic assessments confirmed did not compromise qualities, with maintaining perfect score 100 points. These findings underscore potential production storage, offering dual benefits integrity. Its incorporation aligns growing consumer demand sustainable food preservation methods, supporting application dairy industry.
