The variations in gene expression of GAPDH in Ocimum basilicum cultivars under drought-induced stress conditions
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Nov 3. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-30549-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) holds a pivotal role within the glycolytic pathway of higher plants. It has garnered attention as a significant target protein in instances of oxidative stress, where it can engage in thiolation reactions within its active site. Numerous genes encoding cytosolic iterations of GAPDH have been identified and analyzed in specific plant species. This investigation was conducted to gain insights into GAPDH's function amidst drought-induced stress. Within this framework, the basi...

Tragacanth gum-based nano-nutraceuticals synthesis by encapsulation of beetroot juice and Ocimum basilicum leaves for micronutrient deficient population
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Oct 18:127502. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127502. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicronutrient deficiencies, such as iron, folic acid, and vitamins C and D, are currently prevalent due to inadequate consumption of natural food sources, namely raw vegetables and fruits. This deficiency is compounded by the growing reliance on synthetic nutraceuticals and processed food, which exhibit poor absorbency within the gastrointestinal tract. Scientific studies consistently indicate that naturally prepared whole foods are superior in terms of nutrient absorption compared to processed and synthetic suppleme...

Ocimum basilicum essential oil in pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus: anesthetic efficacy, distribution, and depletion in different tissues
This study aimed to evaluate the anesthetic activity ofOcimum basilicum essential oil and the distribution and depletion of its major compounds in different tissues of the pacu,Piaractus mesopotamicus. Juveniles (319.08 ± 9.14 g) were individually anesthetized with six concentrations of essential oil fromO. basilicum (150, 180, 210, 240, 270, and 300 mg L−1), while in a second experiment, fish (492.39 ± 51.51 g) were subjected to a 10 min immersion bath with essential oil fromO. basilicum (300 mg L−1). After anesthetic recovery, blood and tissue samples of the brain, gills, liver, spleen, and white m...

Vacuolar localisation of anthocyanin pigmentation in microgreen cotyledons of basil, cabbage and mustard greens does not impact on colonisation by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7
Food Microbiol. 2023 Dec;116:104367. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104367. Epub 2023 Aug 21.ABSTRACTMicrogreens, the immature plants harvested after a few weeks of growth, are perceived as a heathy, nutritious food ingredient but may be susceptible to colonisation by human pathogens including Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC). Some microgreen cultivars accumulate anthocyanins or secrete essential oils which, when extracted or purified, have been reported to inhibit bacterial growth. Therefore, the impact of anthocyanins on bacterial colonisation by STEC (Sakai) was compared for three species that have pigmented cultivars: b...
