“…The use of discarded or waste materials and by-products from other industries is promising. 15,44,79 A shift toward synthetics that mimic binding properties of Col I, provide strength, and decrease cost is already underway. However, the current synthetic biopolymers do not recapitulate the complexity of the natural ECM and have limited biological functionality.…”

Collagen sponge (CS) was prepared using fish scales, which are a biological waste product in the marine food industry. CS was prepared so as to incorporate separately the drug mupirocin (thus designated CSM) and Macrotyloma uniflorum plant extract (CSPE). CS, CSM and CSPE were applied to the experimental wounds of rats and the healing pattern was observed using various biological and physicochemical techniques. CSPE enhanced wound healing and was involved in the up-regulation of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor b (TGF-b). Increased levels of hydroxyproline, hexosamine and uronic acid were observed in the CSPE-treated group compared with the other groups. Treatment with CSPE reduced inflammation, the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and scar formation, thereby contributing to faster wound healing.

“…Horsegram is regarded as having poor functional and expansion properties as a flour (Sreerama et al 2008, 891), in contrast with several other Indian pulses. However, these same anti-nutrient phtyochemicals are thought to have beneficial medicinal and nutraceutical properties (Muthukumara et al 2014;Bhartiya et al 2015;Prasad and Singh 2015). Nevertheless, processing horsegram into commercially viable food products, including composite pulse flour, with cowpea and chickpea, has attracted growing interest from researchers and commercial food manufacturers (Abbas et al 1984;Sreerama et al 2012, 467;Khatum et al 2013).…”

Horsegram has been an important crop since the beginning of agriculture in many parts of South Asia. Despite horsegram's beneficial properties as a hardy, multi-functional crop, it is still regarded as a food of the poor, particularly in southern India. Mistakenly regarded as a minor crop, largely due to entrenched biases against this under-utilised crop, horsegram has received far less research than other pulses of higher status. The present study provides an updated analysis of evidence for horsegram's origins, based on archaeological evidence, historical linguistics, and herbarium collections of probable wild populations. Our survey of herbarium specimens provides an updated map of the probable range of the wild progenitor. A large database of modern reference material provides an updated baseline for distinguishing wild and domesticated seeds, while an extensive dataset of archaeological seed measurements provides evidence for regional trends towards larger seed size, indicating domestication. Separate trends towards domestication are identified for northwestern India around 4000 BP, and for the Indian Peninsula around 3500 BP, suggesting at least two separate domestications. This synthesis provides a new baseline for further germplasm sampling, especially of wild populations, and further archaeobotanical data collection.
