“…Antioxidant activity plays an essential role in fighting against diseases and increasing the immunity of the body. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals and protect the body from oxidative stress caused by DNA damage during the diseased condition (Singh et al ., 2022). The antioxidant activity of the Moringa oleifera flower extract was measured by DPPH assay and was found to be 59.65% (Table 3).…”

“…The water absorption index and water solubility index of the Moringa oleifera flower powder were found to be 10.60 ± 0.10 (g/g) and 8.70 ± 0.20 (%), respectively. The high content of major components such as carbohydrates and proteins gives a higher water absorption index, while the presence of high lipid content decreases the water absorption index (Singh et al ., 2022). On the other hand, the high soluble fibre content increases the water solubility index while the high content of starch decreases the solubility index (Sahan et al ., 2015).…”

SummaryThe aim of this research is to characterise the physicochemical and techno‐functional properties of the Moringa oleifera flower powder, and various techniques were used in this regard, such as FTIR, GC–MS, TGA, FESEM, and EDS. The bulk and tapped density of the Moringa oleifera flower powder were found to be 0.44 ± 0.03 (g/cm3) and 0.51 ± 0.01 (g/cm3), respectively. The water absorption index and water solubility index were 10.60 ± 0.10 (g/g) and 8.70 ± 0.20 (%), respectively. The foaming capacity was found to be 15.20 ± 0.20 (%), and the foaming stability was 56.34 ± 0.10 (%). The total phenolic content of the Moringa oleifera flower extract was 15.97 ± 0.223 mg GAE/g, whereas the flavonoid content was 12.38 ± 0.321 mg QE/g. The antioxidant activity of the flower extract was measured by DPPH assay and was found to be 59.65%. The flower extract showed 11 mm and 8 mm of the zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively, whereas, with antibiotic streptomycin, the zones of inhibition were found to be 20 and 18 mm, respectively. Based on the research findings, Moringa oleifera flower powder and extract can be used as food fortification, antioxidant, and antibacterial agents.

Concerning the increasing demand for antibacterial nature-based textiles, this work deals with the modification of cotton fabric with corn silk as a natural polymer together with the in situ synthesis of copper (II) oxide nanoparticles.Copper acetate is used as a precursor of copper (II) oxide and ascorbic acid as an environmentally friendly reducing agent. The copper (II) oxide/corn silk nanocomposite cotton fabrics are evaluated by FESEM, XRD, FTIR, water absorption, and antibacterial analysis. The treated fabrics exhibit higher water absorption and FESEM images along with EDX spectra confirm the formation of copper (II) oxide nanoparticles and corn silk layer on the fabric surface. FTIR analysis also establishes effective assembling of CuO/corn silk on the cotton surface. Moreover, the antimicrobial efficiency of the nanocomposite is verified to be higher than 90% against Gram-negative and Gram-positive model bacteria comprising Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and antifungal properties against Candida albican. Consequently, the fabrication of copper (II) oxide/corn silk nanocomposites on the cotton fabric could be potentially applied for the preparation of antibacterial medical textiles.

“…Corn silk is typically discarded as agricultural waste; however, it may also be useful in the treating kidney stones, nephritis, cystitis and prostatitis. Flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, polypentose and certain volatile oils are chemical ingredients of corn silk that are used to treat diabetes, celiac disease, jaundice, measles and hematuria (Hasanudin et al ., 2012; Singh et al ., 2022). Recent studies suggest antioxidant, antidiabetic (Chang et al ., 2016; Zhang et al ., 2016), anti‐obesity (Chaiittianan et al ., 2016), neuroprotective and antidepressant (Choi et al ., 2014), anticancer (Lee et al ., 2014) and other bioactivities of corn silk.…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of particle size dispersion of corn silk on physical, techno-functional and antioxidant properties. Corn silk (variety: G5417) was processed into size fractions of 750, 425, 300, 212, 150 and 75 μm and were characterised. The average particle size of the soluble fraction was found to be 364.4 d.nm. The particle size distribution of corn silk powder was found to have a substantial impact on different physical parameters. The results showed a significant decrease in (0.595 AE 0.02 g cm −3 ) to 300 m (0.420 AE 0.02 g cm −3 ) and for tapped density, values decreased from 0.725 AE 0.04 (750 μm) to 0.580 AE 0.02 g cm −3 (75 μm). The corn silk powder showed intermediate flow with the values of Carr's index from 1.21AE 0.03% to 1.48 AE 0.17% and Hausner ratio 17.83 AE 2.68% to 33.63 AE 0.42%, respectively, from coarser to finer particles. The water absorption capacity increased significantly and oil absorption capacity decreased significantly (P < 0.05) from coarser to finer particles. The antioxidant activity increased significantly when the particle size was reduced. The results obtained showed that corn silk powder has the potential to be used for the development of instant mixes, infant food formulas, bakery food items and value-added products.
