PROPOLIS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON THE NATURE'S POLYPHENOLIC WONDER (Review)
(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Balasubramaniam, Arun Kumar; Elangovan, Ashmitha; Rahman, Maheen Abdul; Nayak, Subhendu; Swain, Durga; Babu, Harathi Parasur; Narasimhan, Aarthi; Monga, Vikramdeep
Propolis, a resinous substance produced by honeybees, has been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries due to its diverse biological activities. This review explores the phytochemical composition, therapeutic applications, and potential health benefits of propolis. Comprising a complex mixture of resins, waxes, essential oils, and pollen, propolis exhibits significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anticancer properties. The phytochemical content of propolis varies with its botanical and geographical origins, influencing its bioactivity. Propolis has shown promise in wound healing, oral health, cardiovascular protection, neuroprotection, hepatoprotection, and gastrointestinal health. Despite its therapeutic potential, challenges such as standardization, quality control, and regulatory issues need to be addressed. Future research should focus on elucidating the mechanisms of action, optimizing extraction methods, and conducting extensive clinical trials to validate its efficacy and safety. Sustainable production and conservation efforts are essential to ensure the continuous supply of high- quality propolis. This review highlights the need for interdisciplinary research to fully harness the potential of propolis in modern medicine.

ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES ON LAGERSTROEMIA SPECIOSA BASED HARD CARBON ANODE FOR SODIUM ION BATTERIES (Article)
(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Keerthana P; Sivasubramanian R; Priyadharsini N
Biomass derived hard carbon (HC) was prepared from Lagerstroemia speciosa using carbonization method at three different temperatures vis 1000 °C, 1200 °C and 1400 °C respectively. The amorphous nature of the material was confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) with decrease in interlayer spacing on increasing carbonization temperature. The Fourier transform infra red (FTIR) spectrum showed the characteristic of HC and the defect sites was analyzed by the Id/Ig ratio from Raman spectrum. Further the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed the presence of irregular morphology for all the samples. Also, the elemental presence was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the surface area studies signify the presence of nanovoids and graphitic domains. All the three samples were employed as anode in Na ion battery and their performance was analysed. It is seen that among all the samples, HC prepared at 1200 °C showed an initial columbic efficiency of 70.7 % with excellent capacity of 397 mAhg−1. The cyclic stability test had a retention rate of 85% after 100 cycles. This is attributed to the presence of more graphitic domains and nanovoids on the HC1200 samples. Further possible insights on the mechanism of charge storage were highlighted.
