Assessment of Bio-Compounds Content, Antioxidant Activity, and Neuroprotective Effect of Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata rubra) Processed by Convective Drying at Different Temperatures.

Dehydrated red cabbage, with higher temperatures resulting in increased bio-compound concentrations, demonstrated neuroprotective effects lasting up to 48 hours, making it a potential functional food ingredient for Parkinson's disease treatment.

Antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of the silver nanoparticles synthesized using aqueous extracts of coconut meat (Cocos nucifera L).

Researchers successfully synthesized silver nanoparticles using coconut meat extract. These nanoparticles exhibited significant antimicrobial properties against drug-resistant Candida and bacteria strains, making them potential candidates for therapeutic applications. Further investigation is required to determine their mode of action and biosafety.
