This research volume examines the available alternative,
complementary, pharmaceutical and vaccine methods for treating,
mitigating, or preventing COVID-19. Coverage includes traditional
Chinese medicine, herbal remedies, nutraceutical/dietary options,
and drug/vaccine therapies. All the methods discussed will be
critically examined to provide readers with a full, unbiased
overview that includes pros/cons of each method. While the nature
of COVID-19 is still being studied, and new research and theories
are being published daily, this book endeavors to provide readers
with a comprehensive summary of current research on alternative and
mainstream treatment and prevention methods.
Plants produce chemicals as part of their normal metabolic
activities. These include primary metabolites found in all plants,
such as sugars and fats, as well as secondary metabolites, which
can have therapeutic effects in humans and be refined to produce
drugs. Plants synthesize a bewildering variety of phytochemicals,
but most are derivatives of a few biochemical motifs. Numerous
herbal-derived substances have been evaluated for their therapeutic
potential. These include alkaloids, coumarins, saponins, plant
pigments and flavonoids. Flavonoids, carotenoids and anthocyanins
are probably the best known of these substances due to their
antioxidant properties. Carotenoids: Structure and Function in the
Human Body presents comprehensive coverage of carotenoids. The text
covers the scientific literature and clinical significance of this
organic pigment, with an emphasis on its therapeutic potential. The
authors approach carotenoids from a range of perspectives, from
their structural and physicochemical properties to their
distribution in nature, interaction with the human metabolism, and
use as a coloring agent in various products. The intake, metabolism
and secretion of anthocyanins in the human body are covered
in-depth, as are the biosynthetic pathways through which these
compounds are synthesized in the natural system. Factors affecting
stability and extraction are listed, and health-related uses and
biological activities are covered in great detail. Present and
future trends in carotenoid research are also presented. This book
provides a solid background in carotenoids for researchers and
professionals in food science, food technology, nutrition, biology,
chemistry and medical sciences.

This unique text provides comprehensive coverage of betalains,
outlining the specific makeup and uses of this plant. The chapters
provide deep insight into the biosynthesis, structures,
pharmacokinetics, stability, extraction, health benefits and
occurrence in nature of betalains. As the first major reference
work to focus specifically on betalains, this book serves as an
important reference for any researcher looking for insights into
the use of betalains as functional foods, food coloring agents, and
nutraceuticals. Betalains: Biomolecular Aspects outlines the
chemical structure of betalains, including their occurrence in
nature. The utilization of of these plants as natural color in food
and beverages is covered in depth, as are the intake and secretion
of betalains in the human body. The various factors affecting the
stability of betalains are described, including their stability
when used in food products. Current health related uses for these
plants are outlined, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
uses. The isolation and purification of these plants, plus analysis
techniques, are outlined. In providing extensive coverage of
betalains and their uses, this text presents a singular work which
is of major value for a wide range of researchers.

This Brief presents comprehensive coverage of anthocyanins. The
text covers the scientific literature and clinical significance of
this Flavonoid sub-group, with a special focus on their therapeutic
aspects. In focusing on secondary metabolites in plants, this work
aims to cover the resulting therapeutic potential for humans by
referencing the numerous herbal-derived substances which have been
evaluated and the rapidly growing data on the interactions of
anthocyanins with the microbiome. Anthocyanins and Human Health:
Biomolecular and therapeutic aspects covers all angles of
biomolecular, in vitro and in vivo anthocyanins from their general
chemical structure to their use as a coloring agent. The intake,
metabolism and secretion of anthocyanins in the human body are
covered in-depth, as are the biosynthetic pathways through which
these compounds are synthesized in the natural system. Factors
affecting stability and extraction are listed, and health related
uses and biological activities are covered in great detail. Present
and future trends in anthocyanins research are also presented.

Medicinal and aromatic crops (MACs) are high-value crops since the
natural products obtained from them are low-volume high-value
commodities that have numerous applications in various sectors such
as the food, beverage, food supplement, flavor and fragrance,
perfumery and cosmetics, pharmaceutical and aromatherapy
industries. In addition, the plant biomass is used in the
production of teas and medical applications in traditional and also
modern medicines. MACs are important mainly because they contain
plant secondary metabolites such as essential oils, alkaloids,
glygosides, saponins, tannins, vitamins and other bioactives. Plant
secondary metabolites are differentiated from plant primary
metabolites of photosynthesis and respiration since they are
directly involved in growth and development of plants. Some
MACs are used as spices and culinary herbs since they contain
mainly essential oils, and are used as tonic to the digestive
system, appetite modification and other systems and may facilitate
nutrient uptake and utilization from various foods. A significant
amount of MACs and their natural products have also demonstrated
antimicrobial, antifungal and bactericidal activity and significant
antioxidant capacity. In the past, MACs and their natural products
have been used as a source for various medicines, in food and
beverage production and in aroma products. Essentials of Medicinal
and Aromatic Crops summarizes the current knowledge on
medicinal and aromatic crops, including the agronomical practices
of important MACs and their products, their beneficial effects and
utilization of MAP and their products. The chapters
provide a comprehensive guide to the most important and
used medicinal and aromatic crops and their use
in functional foods, nutraceuticals and as bioactives against
various ailments, providing researchers, teachers, chemists,
food scientists, agronomists and agroecologists in academia,
industry and government a fully up to date singular source on this
important topic.Â
The MATERIALS EMPLOYED in the present research investigations were
a field-grown crop of cotton and 4 different spray schedules. The
TRIALS were, however, laid out at the Ayub Agricultural Research
Institute, (AARI), Faisalabad in a Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) and there were, thus, five treatments including a control,
having three repeats each. The SPRAY MATERIALS were prepared on V/V
basis, and sprayed over to the crop at an interval of fortnight
starting from August, 2010 by means of a Solo-Knapsack sprayer. The
various observations on the population of cotton jassid during the
trials were kept on being taken continuously throughout the test
season. The data on the population of jassid, from each plot were
recorded early in the morning one, two, three and seven days after
the application of the insecticides, from five plants, selected at
random. For this purpose, one leaf each from the upper portion,
from the middle portion and from lower portion, were observed for
jassid population, till five plants were completed. The population
data were, however, finally presented in the form of mean values
separately for each repeat of the various test treatments.

Global." Part of this sub-mission as the objective of the this
business plan i.e., "JIBS to UK" we have developed a model of
delivering the JIBS culture in the target market, called
Emancipator Model. By adopting this approach, JIBS message is going
to be picked up during this scan of the UK market and will spread
following Fission Reaction principle.
The major part of this book examines the impact of Khushhali Bank
Limited (KBL), the largest microfinance bank with a huge network of
branches all across the country, on the socio-economic
characteristics of beneficiary women and to study the improvement
in their economy and social status.The findings suggest that
micro-credit has positive impact on women socio-economic status and
empowerment.It increases to some extent self- confidence and
feelings of identity for women in the society.The study also
entailed lack of centralized system between the microfinance
institutions that increased the risk of dual loaning.
