Item Antitumor Effect of Glycyrrhiza glabra Nanoparticles(2016) Sylvia Subapriya, M; Ramya, MItem Application of Natural Dye Using Tie-Dye Method and Converting into Foldable Carry Bags(2019-04) Ramya, M; Amsamani, SItem Economic Status Of Migrant Workers In Select Activities In Rural Coimbatore(2011-04) Ramya, M; Arulselvam, KItem Glycyrrhiza glabra - a Natural Panacea against Diarrhoea and Cancer(2016) Sylvia Subapriya, M; Ramya, MThe major food borne outbreaks of diarrhoeal diseases are caused by microbes such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica and Shigella dysenteriae. The present study was conducted to develop nanoparticle coatings from the medicinal plant, Glycyrrhiza glabra against diarrhea and carcinoma. The GC/MS of nanoparticles reveals the following active phyto constituents namely 9-octadecenaL tetradecanoic acid, oleic Acid, z, z2, 5- Pentadecadien-1 -ol, cis-9,10-epoxyoctadecan-1 -ol and n-hexadecanoic acid. The antioxidant and thin layer chromatography of Glycyrrhiza glabra nanoparticles showed a maximum of 520 pg and phenolic compounds. The antimicrobial activity were tested by disc diffusion showed microbial inhibition of 11,15 and 14 mm against £.co// (MTCC 40), S.enterica (MTCC 3219) and S.dysenteriae (PSGIMS&R) respectively. Therefore, commercially available food packages such as PET bottles, zip lock covers and infant feeding bottles were coated with nanoparticles and tested for shelf-life for ten days. In nanocoated PET bottles and ziplock covers stored with tomato puree showed that till O'** day, there was no microbial growth. On the 10* day, 57,68 and 88 percentage of microbial inhibition was observed in PET bottles against E.coli (MTCC 40), S.enterica (MTCC 3219) and S.dysenteriae (PSGIMS&R) respectively. In nanocoated zip lock covers showed 38,63 and 83 percentage of microbial inhibition was observed against diarrhoeal pathogens. Nanocoated feeding bottles, showed a maximum microbial inhibition (84percentage) against diarrhoeal pathogens. Gel electrophoresis showed DNA damage to the Hela and Liver carcinoma cell lines and 50 and 48 percent apoptosis in the two cell lines respectively. Therefore, Glycyrrhiza glabra nanoparticles are effective in diarrrhoea prevention and cancer treatment.Item Molecular Docking studies of plant derived Antifungal compounds as selective inhibitor of Isocitrate lyase (Candida albicans).(2011-04) Ramya, M; Sangeetha , RItem Softening of Coir Fibre Using Cellulase Enzyme Extracted from Trichoderma Species(2008-04) Ramya, M; Lakshmi, KItem Study on nanocoated pet bottles of tomato puree against Enteropathogenic bacteria(2015) Sylvia Subapriya, M; Ramya, Mstrong, safe, shatterproof and recyclable packaging material with an inherent barrier used for wide range of product applications. Tlie purpose of study is to assess the shelf-life of silver nanocoated (Glycyrrhiz aglabra) PET bottles of tomato puree for a period of ten days against enteropathogenic bacteria such as E. coH (MTCC40), Salmonella enteric (MTCC3219) and Shigella (PSGIMS & R). Tire maximum inhibition of antimicrobial activin- of silver nanoparticle coated PET bottles of tomato from 0th day to IC' day, showed that 56.8.3 percentage against E. coli (MTCC 40), 67.67 and 87.67 percentage against Salmonella enteric (MTCC 3219) and Shigella dysenteriae (PSGIMS 6e R) respectively. Hence, different food packages can be tried out with coatings of silver-nanoparticles which could improve the shelf-life and antimicrobial property of food packages.Item Synthesis of Eco Friendly Nanogranular Films in Food Packaging Using Medicinal Plants and Nanoparticles(2017-06) Ramya, M; Sylvia Subapriya, M
