It was observed that the antioxidant activity of methanol extractincreases proportionately with concentration.

This study focused on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, which is necessary for safe and effective exploitation of silver nanoparticles in collaboration with plant derived metabolites as a substitute for harmful synthetic drugs. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using bark of Acacia nilotica, synthesized silver nanoparticles were then subjected to check antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant bacteria like S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Spectral techniques like Uv‐Vis, zetasizer and SEM were performed for the characterization of silver nanoparticles and results shows that AgNPs can be used as tool in combating the issue of drug resistance in future, as in comparison to broad‐spectrum ...

Although Naga King Chilli has been cultivated and consumed for over hundreds of years, its saga of fierceness remain vague until 2006, where it earned the distinction of being the hottest chilli in the World [2]. The protoalkaloids capsaicinoids are responsible for the fiery sensation of the chilli [3].These secondary metabolites are reported to be present only in Capsicum species. Capsaicinoids contain components capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, norhydrocapsaicin, norcapsaicin, nornorcapsaicin and nonivamide. Capsaicin, the major component of capsaicinoids responsible for 60-90 % of total pungency of the chilli are reported to be present in high content in Capsicum chinense. About 3-5 % capsaicin are reported to be present in this particular chilli as compare to other chilli variety in India which have content less than 1 % of capsaicin [4,5]. Capsaicin besides being a savoury ingredient in food, they are reported to have numeral applications. Capsaicin are reported to trigger brain to produce endorphins, a natural pain killer. They are incorporated in number of medical appliances such as to fight against pain of arthritis, sprains, control of skin diseases like shingles, psoriasis, respiratory problems
