These secondary metabolites include alkaloids, glycosides, coumarins, flavonoids, steroids, etc. Generally the whole plant, roots, stem, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, gums and oleoresins, etc. are used.1 A large number of people in developing countries have traditionally depended on products derived from plants, especially from forests, for curing human and livestock ailments. Additionally, several aromatic plants are popular for domestic and commercial uses. Collectively they are called medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs). About 12.5 % of the 4,22,000 plant species documented worldwide are reported to have medicinal values. With dwindling supplies from natural sources and increasing global demand, the medicinal and aromatic plants will need to be cultivated to ensure their regular supply for processing and value added products.2 Recently, the development of food products by supplements with herbal ingredients is important from nutritional and theraptic point of view. Now a day demand of herbal food products is increasing day by day. The production of such type of food product is more economical and profitable in the interest of health.3","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130595442","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}

This film presented similar characteristics to roasted chicken skin when it was heated. Heat treatment of the dry film for 15 min at 130°C produced the development of an opaque maroon color and an increased in their brittleness. This information can be used by product developers, culinary scientists and professional chefs in designing food products in which these kinds of films are employed to wrap or cover the top of chicken meat pieces that are then subjected to cooking. These studies suggest a potential use of heat treated-chicken stock films as a substitute of roasted chicken skin since the crisp texture and optical properties were alike. This is the basis for the preparation of healthier alternatives to the traditional roasted skin through reduction unhealthy components, such as fat (including cholesterol) and carcinogenic compounds, without loss of overall flavor intensity.5 However, sensory studies are needed before the product can be recommended.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125996489","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}

Spirulina is well known for its extraordinary nutritional and therapeutic values. It is nature’s richest and most complete source of nutrition. Its easy local production with affordable technologies and cost-effectiveness make it valuable for its economic production and easy availability. Spirulina possesses very high amount of antioxidant activities which is due to majorly presence of high amount of phenolic and flavonoids contents in it. A single report by Zongxing et al.,2 supported effectiveness of Spirulina in induced silicosis rat models. Authors reported elevated level of super oxide dismutase and glutathione in silicosis rats those were fed with Spirulina. The organism has reported anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Thus more studies should be conducted on exploration of Spirulina and its various extract for the cure of silicosis. The organism has extraordinary nutritional and therapeutic values, it is safe for human consumption and can be easily cultivated with minimal nutrition requirement and still unexplored for the cure of silicosis. Further detailed and systematic studies in the above mentioned related fields can open hidden treasures of nature in near future.","PeriodicalId":331573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134448353","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}
