The present study reports on the preparation of a cellulose fiber (CF) composite from D. lutescens, combined with copper oxide nanoparticles (DL@CF/CuO), to prolong the shelf life of tomatoes after harvest. The isolated cellulose fiber material was comprehensively characterized using XRD, FTIR, and FE-SEM analyses. The DLCF and DL@CF/CuO nanoparticles exhibited crystalline cellulose, as indicated by the XRD investigation. Both DLCF and DL@CF/CuO showed O-H and C-H FTIR spectra with identifiable vibrational peaks. The FE-SEM images depicted the dispersion of DL@CF/CuO-based fibers in a cellulose fiber matrix containing CuO nanoparticles. A 0.3% (wt/wt), a solution of DL@CF/CuO was coated onto the surface of early ripening tomato fruits. After a 25-day storage period at 25–29 °C and 85% RH, the results showed a significant extension in the shelf life of the tomato fruits, in line with changes in physiological properties and fruit quality. The extension of shelf life in tomato fruit epidermis treated with DL@CF/CuO was confirmed through FE-SEM analysis. L929 fibroblast cells were treated with the developed DL@CF/CuO nanocomposite, and no signs of toxicity were detected up to 75 µg/mL. Additionally, the DL@CF/CuO nanocomposite exhibited significant antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus. In conclusion, this study provides novel insights for sustainable food security and waste control in the agricultural and food industries.

“…Achillea arabica (A. arabica) is one of the important members of the Asteraceae family and has been reported to have more than 130 genera in the world in previous studies [13] and 24 of 48 species in Turkey flora have been stated to be endemic [14]. Achillea species are known to have antioxidant, antiproliferative capacity, antimicrobial and anticancer activity and can be used for therapeutic purposes [15]. Importance of this genus used in a versatile way is emphasized [13].…”

Pharmacological herbs are our first medicines in history and we take them into our bodies in different ways by consuming tea, spices, or raw. Nowadays, due to the side effects of more effective synthetic medicines, the tendency to use pharmacological plants has increased and the benefits are provided from plants in the treatment of routine diseases and to protect from them. In our daily life, stress and adverse environmental conditions may cause oxidative stress by increasing the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a cell and oxidative stress is known to be associated with cancer and various neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Antioxidants protect the cell against diseases by regulating the ROS concentration and herbal phenolics are known as antioxidants and strong candidates for this. In addition, studies on plant components and active ingredient have gained more importance during the Covid-19 epidemic period as they provide important data for vaccine development studies. In this study, it was aimed to obtain important data for advanced studies. For this purpose, Achillea arabica, one of the pharmacological members of the Asteraceae family, was collected from Ağrı/Patnos and stored by converting into herbarium material. Some biological activities such as the determination of some in vitro antioxidant properties, DNA protective activity, and the phenolic content by HPLC were evaluated in the DMSO extract prepared from the flowers of the herbarium plant. The results of the study were evaluated together and correlated.

Immunity is a major concept in human nutrition. Immunocompromised individuals are at risk for serious infection as COVID-19 which is directed the researchers to use the immunomodulatory plants for prophylaxis. This study was designed to assess the immune response of Wistar rats administrated Achillea fragrantissima (A. fragrantissima) extract versus Endoxan (immunosuppressive) and Echinaid (immune stimulating). Fifty rats were assigned into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) injected intraperitoneal (i/p) with Endoxan 90 mg/kg for three successive days, (3) injected with Endoxan as (2) and administrated with Echinaid 300 mg/kg/day. (4,5) injected with Endoxan as (2) and administrated with 300 and 500 mg/kg/day A. fragrantissima extract respectively. On day 17 all groups were challenged with two doses of sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) i/p, 2 weeks intervals. A high dose of A. fragrantissima extract achieved an increase in total antioxidant capacity significantly(P<0.05), superoxide dismutase, and a decrease in malondialdehyde. Catalase exerted a significant increase with a low dose of A. fragrantissima whereas a high dose had a mild effect. Echinaid and A. fragrantissima raised IgM for the first dose of SRBC and Igs and IgG for the second dose significantly (P<0.05). A. fragrantissima administration ameliorates cytokines (TNF-α, IL-4) and modulated IL-10 significantly (P<0.05). A high dose of A. fragrantissima extract exerted a significant reduction in splenic non-cellular viability% and the highest score of the microscopic immune reaction (immunostimulation++++). Splenic histopathology confirmed the present results. The current study highlights that a high dose of A. fragrantissima extract is preferred over a low dose to restore immune responses in vivo.
