Abstract: The method reports the chief method to produce the alcohol from beetroots Beta Vulgaris via fermentation method. For the research purpose the fresh beetroots were collected from market, washed with water to remove soil dust and other impurities on the outer surface of beetroots. These beetroots then used for further research. For alcohol production by this method the fermentation method was adopted in which beetroots were cut down in the small pieces, then mixed up with the sugar and yeast, kept this mixture in vessel for days. The overall mixture produces the alcohol which was separated .The separated alcohol was tested chemically for alcohol formation. The extracted alcohol was analysed by GC-MS and microbial assay of beet extract was carried for some pathogenic organisms.

 Abstract

The goal of this research was to determine the atheroprotective effect of Tecoma stans ethanolic flower extract (EETS) against intimate-media carotid artery thickness (cIMT) and malondialdehyde level (MDA) on rats exposed to cigarette smoke. Thirty adult Wistar rats in group K2, K3, and K4 (100 mg / kg b.w / day; 200 mg / kg b.w / day; and 400 mg / kg b.w / day) were divided into five groups and exposed to cigarette smoke, 3 pc cigarettes / day, respectively. In both participants the treatment period was 28 days. Blood was taken out of the heart to assess the amount of MDA. To assess cIMT, histological slide was obtained from carotid artery intima-media. The administration of EETS could substantially prevent the development of atherosclerosis due to oxidative stress by decreasing the MDA level (p<0.05) and decreasing the degree of changes in cIMT (p<0.05). The present study found that EETS could prevent the development of atherosclerosis due to smoke exposure by reducing the level of MDA, that is, the marker of oxidative stress associated with reduced changes in cIMT. Further researches on additional EETS bioactivity as an antioxidant are therefore required for the invention of potent atheroprotective drug.

 Abstract

The seeds of Sesamum Indicum L. were treated with various doses/ concentrations of gamma radiation (GR-300 to 500Gy), Ethyl Methane Sulphonate (EMS- 0.3 to 0.5%) and Sodium azide (SA-0.15, 0.20, 0.25%). The physiological effects on seed germination and seedling height on 7th day after sowing were investigated. Gradual reduction in seed germination and seedling height was recorded with increase in dose / concentration of mutagens. Almost all the mutagenic treatments caused decrease in seed germination, seedling height, seedling injury, pollen sterility and survival of plants at maturity.
