Investigation on natural sources from plants, animals, and microorganisms that produce gums and mucilages goes on increasing day by day to check their pharmaceutical applications. Different mucilages have been studied for their pharmaceutical effects but the use of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) mucilage as a pharmaceutical excipient is still under the cover. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate and compare the flow property and binding ability of crude, purified, modified (hydrolyzed and grafted), green synthesized nanoparticles (Zinc oxide (ZnO), cuperic oxide (CuO), silver (Ag), and gold (Au)) of date palm mucilage with hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and commercially available paracetamol tablets. Previously purified mucilage (with 58.4% yield) was subjected to modification (i.e., acidic, basic, and enzymatic), grafting (polyacrylamide), and green synthesis of nanoparticles. Flow properties of powdered (granular) crude, purified, modified, and nanoparticles were studied and compared with flow properties of HPMC and paracetamol tablet granules. Tablets were made using granules of all types of date palm mucilage (discussed above), HPMC, and granules of paracetamol tablets to study and compare weight uniformity, hardness, friability, dissolution rate, and disintegration time. When 100 mg/kg of mucilage sample was given to mice no oral toxicity was found. The results obtained during this study were within the acceptable ranges given in pharmacopeias. The pseudoplastic flow behavior, hygroscopic nature, increased solubility, and swelling index across the increase in temperature, hardness of the tablets, friability, and drug release behavior were found better than HPMC and the binders used in commercially available paracetamol, hence making the date palm mucilage (crude, purified, and modified) an excellent excipient to be used in pharmaceutical dosage forms.

“…animal protein is distinguished from vegetable protein by the high percentage of necessary amino acids and their presence in balanced proportions that suit the needs of the bird's body [22]. Carbohydrates Nutritionally they are divided into: (A) Dissolved carbohydrate or nitrogenfree extract: It includes various sugars and starch, which are substances that dissolve due to the digestive juice of the bird, which is absorbed in its digestive tract, and dissolved carbohydrates are the main source of supplying the bird with its need for thermal energy, and if they exceed the needs of birds, they are stored in the form of glycogen in the liver and muscles, and more than that is stored in the form of fat, and stored in the places of fat deposition in the body, in addition to providing egg yolks with the fat necessary for its formation [23].…”

The science of nutrition includes the provision of balanced nutrients that meet the need of chickens (animal) to grow, maintain and continue production, and for economic reasons, these foodstuffs should be at the lowest prices, so we should provide these materials only with what the nutritional requirements need without a significant increase. However, we must provide some nutrients at higher levels in practical situations, in order to try to meet the shortage of some food components The costs of feeding chickens represent 60-70% of the total expenses in poultry projects, so the nutritionist's goal is to obtain the highest production at the lowest possible costs while making use of feed materials whenever possible. And the nutritionist must form a relationship in which all the nutrients that the bird needs are available, whether for the production of meat, table eggs or hatching eggs. In this review, we will review the basics of feeding poultry birds, the most commonly used feed materials, the nutritional needs of each bird according to its type, age, production status, how to form leeches and models of leeches that can be used, as well as diseases caused by a lack of various nutrients.

“…In addition, LIBS requires minimal sample preparation and can be used in tandem with other analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry and Raman spectroscopy [35,36]. LIBS has been used to evaluate milk, infant formula, butter, honey, bakery products, coffee, tea, vegetable oils, water, cereals, flour, potatoes, palm dates, and various types of meat [27,34,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. Moncayo et al [50] employed LIBS for the authentication of red wines and the localization of their geographic origin.…”

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an atomic-emission spectroscopy technique that employs a focused laser beam to produce microplasma. Although LIBS was designed for applications in the field of materials science, it has lately been proposed as a method for the compositional analysis of agricultural goods. We deployed commercial handheld LIBS equipment to illustrate the performance of this promising optical technology in the context of food authentication, as the growing incidence of food fraud necessitates the development of novel portable methods for detection. We focused on regional agricultural commodities such as European Alpine-style cheeses, coffee, spices, balsamic vinegar, and vanilla extracts. Liquid examples, including seven balsamic vinegar products and six representatives of vanilla extract, were measured on a nitrocellulose membrane. No sample preparation was required for solid foods, which consisted of seven brands of coffee beans, sixteen varieties of Alpine-style cheeses, and eight different spices. The pre-processed and standardized LIBS spectra were used to train and test the elastic net-regularized multinomial classifier. The performance of the portable and benchtop LIBS systems was compared and described. The results indicate that field-deployable, portable LIBS devices provide a robust, accurate, and simple-to-use platform for agricultural product verification that requires minimal sample preparation, if any.
