This investigation focuses on the critical public health implications arising from the fungal contamination of stored plantain chips, a delicacy snack in Nigeria, West Africa. Notably, the fungal species isolated, which are Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium spp., Rhizopus stolonifer, and Mucor spp. are critical from a public health perspective. Species such as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger are particularly concerning due to their capacity to produce aflatoxins, which are among the most carcinogenic substances known and have been linked to liver cancer and immune system suppression. The prevalence of these mycotoxins not only compromises the nutritional integrity and safety of the plantain chips but poses severe risks to consumers, highlighting a broader issue of food security and safety. This study brings to the fore the pressing need for interventions that enhance the storage conditions and decrease fungal contamination, thereby reducing the exposure of the population to mycotoxins. The implications of this research extend beyond the economic damage to encompass significant public health concerns, emphasizing the critical need for regulatory, technical, and infrastructural developments to uphold the microbial quality of plantain both in wet and dry states, ensuring safe consumption.","PeriodicalId":14387,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140682234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though older adults participate in fewer regenerative activities, the rise in age-related illnesses and impairments puts them at greater risk. This has a number of detrimental social and economic effects on individuals as well as society at large. Methods: A review of the literature was done in the light of these potential problems to locate empirical studies assessing the health and well-being of senior citizens. Results: Empirical data retrieved from multiple studies indicates that seniors who live outside of institutions have higher levels of emotional well-being than those who live in them. This is because the former has access to better medical care, social connections, family care, and financial independence. Older adults without substantial financial resources experience abuse, are left behind, and are no longer included in family decision-making or selection procedures. For this subset of the population, spiritual care is recommended. It follows that seniors should continue exercising and participating in physical activity at the recommended level.","PeriodicalId":14387,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140684786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this present review paper, powders rather than standard powders are used for fingerprint development. Fingerprints have been developed on various surfaces using turmeric powder, soil, silica gel G powder, etc. Development of fingerprint on challenging surfaces is difficult.

The main enzyme that is responsible for catalyzing the production of melanin from L-tyrosine is ‘Tyrosinase’. It is this enzyme which enables the bacteria to convert amino acid (L-tyrosine) into melanin. The melanin is a polymer which is made from the L-DOPA, DHI, and DHICA monomers. The current study deals with the production and extraction of melanin from Bacillus species isolated from rhizosphere soil of Neelgiri tree and Sagwan tree. The study further deals with melanin and its characterization using UV- visible spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and its solubility test in different solvents. Undertaking the industrial applications of bacterial melanin, the current study also deals with the UV-protection activity of the extracted melanin, and the antibacterial activity of the melanin extracted from the bacterial isolated.","PeriodicalId":14387,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140696039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
