The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the methanolic extract of the Anabaena species identified a diverse range of bioactive compounds, with propanedioic acid (5.96%), benzoic acid (2.22%), and phenol, 2,6-dimethoxy- (2.11%) being the most abundant.

Microgreens are young, nutrient-dense greens harvested at an early growth stage, typically when the first true leaves emerge. This study investigated the effects of fluidized bed drying at three different temperatures (40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C) on the physicochemical, phytochemical, and functional properties of radish microgreens. The microgreens were harvested 7 – 8 days after germination, reaching a height of 6 – 7 cm.

This study investigates the phytochemical profile of Tinospora cordifolia methanolic stem extract (TCMSE), a medicinal plant valued in Ayurveda, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to correlate identified compounds with their bioactive properties. TCMSE, known for its immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities, was analyzed to identify volatile and semi-volatile phytochemicals.

This study investigated the engineering properties of three cultivars of halim (Lepidium sativum) seeds across moisture levels ranging from 5% – 20%. These characteristics are crucial for designing and developing systems for handling, transport, processing, and storage, as well as for evaluating seed quality. Dimensional, gravimetric, frictional, and mechanical attributes were examined in relation to moisture content, and regression models were developed to describe these relationships.

A field investigation was carried out in the main research farm at department of vegetable science, Lovely Professional University Phagwara, Punjab in the year of 2024 to 2025 to determine the dissipation pattern of synthetic insecticides on leaves using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) (Shimadzu), fully equipped with a refractive index (RI) and photodiode array (PDA) detector and their impact on the quality characteristics of brinjal.
