Green approach for the recovery of secondary metabolites from the roots of Nardostachys Jatamansi (D. Don) DC using microwave radiations: Process optimization and anti-alzheimer evaluation.

Researchers optimized microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) parameters for extracting secondary metabolites from the medicinal herb (D. Don) DC. They used a Box Behkhen Design (BBD) to optimize microwave power, temperature, and time of irradiation. Compared to conventional methods, MAE significantly increased extract yield, as well as the total phenolic content and total flavonoid content (TFC). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis confirmed higher concentrations of various sesquiterpenes and steroidal compounds in the optimized extract. The optimized extract also showed improved anti-Alzheimer's potential. Thus, MAE could provide a successful and more environmentally friendly way to extract secondary metabolites from this valuable medicinal herb.

Neuro-emotions based on electroencephalograph response to different color Ardisia mamillata Hance plants in elderly people with and without cognitive impairment.

This study aimed to compare the neurological responses of cognitively impaired and normal elderly people while viewing different colors, and determine which color had the most positive impact on their emotions. Results showed that blue elicited the highest positive emotional response and may be beneficial for boosting neuro-emotions in elderly individuals. The study emphasizes the importance of mental health in aging populations.
