Enrichment of potential toxic elements and environmental health implications: A study of the tropical agricultural soils in southern Western Ghats, India
AbstractLarge-scale usage of agrochemicals in the soils found in the highland regions of Western Ghats, Kerala, India, is often equated with soil contamination and land degradation. Kerala, being the second largest cardamom producer in the world, unscrupulously uses agrochemicals in cardamom plantations, which release high levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) into the soils. Here, the PTEs from 25 agricultural soils were taken from high-range mountain landscapes of southern Western Ghats, India, to evaluate the sources and levels of soil pollution. The data revealed that the soil samples from the study area were con...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 4952: Chemometric Analysis of Fatty Acid Composition of Raw Chicken, Beef, and Pork Meat with Plant Extract Addition during Refrigerated Storage
ek
During the shelf-life, meat undergoes a number of processes that negatively affect the quality of the product, including fatty acid composition. The application of various plant extracts in meat could affect the changes of fatty acids during storage. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various spice and herb extracts on fatty acid composition in raw pork, beef, and chicken meat when stored at 4 °C for 13 days. Based on multivariate statistical analysis, two datasets were extracted from each type of meat. One dataset included samples with allspice, bay leaf, black seed, cardamom, caraway, cl...

Aqueous extract of large cardamom inhibits vascular damage, oxidative stress, and metabolic changes in fructose-fed hypertensive rats
CONCLUSION: In summary, the obtained results suggest that AELC can prevent and reverse the high blood pressure induced by fructose, probably by restoring nitric oxide level and by improving altered metabolic parameters.PMID:34281445 | DOI:10.1080/10641963.2021.1925682 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Hypertension)

Anti-biofilm Potential of Elletaria cardamomum Essential Oil Against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium JSG 1748
In this study, the chemical profile, antimicrobial, and mutagenic activities of the Elletaria cardamomum essential oil were investigated. GC-MS analysis identified the major bioactive components as α-terpinyl acetate, 1,8-cineole, linalool acetate, and sabinene, at concentrations of 34.95, 25.30, 8.13, and 5.48% respectively, of the essential oil’s content. Regarding antimicrobial activity, the minimum inhibitory concentration of green cardamom essential oil was 1% against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 14213. Green cardamom essential oil, when used at concentrations of 0.015, 0.031, 0.062, and...
