    NON-INVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF SPOILAGE OF PACKED FISH USING HALOCHROMIC SENSOR (Article)
    (Emerald Publishing, 2025-02-21) Devarayan, Kesavan; Palanisamy, Yazhiniyan; Mohan, Gangeswar; Theivasigamani, Anand; Kandasamy, Sabariswaran; Sekar, Vimaladevi; Siluvai John, Evon Umesh; Sukumaran, Monikandon; Marimuthu, Ramar; Anjappan, Hema
    Purpose: This study aims to develop a pH-functional thin-film sensor for non-invasive measurement of spoilage of packed fish. Design/methodology/approach: At first, polymers of natural origin such as hydroxy(propyl)methyl cellulose, potato dextrose agar and starch alongside a pH sensitive-mixed indicator formulation were used to produce thin film sensor. The developed thin film sensor was tested for monitoring the spoilage of seafood stored at 4°C. Using ultraviolet-visible and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the halochromic sensor was characterised. In addition, the halochromic response of the thin film was directly correlated to the total volatile base nitrogen emitted by the packaged fish, pH, microbial activity and sensory evaluation. Findings: The results suggested the developed biopolymer-based thin film sensor showed different colours in line with the spoilage of the packed fish, which could be well correlated with the total volatile base nitrogen, microbial activity and sensory evaluation. In addition, the thin film sensors exhibited a high degree of biodegradability. The biopolymers-based thin film halochromic sensor has exhibited excellent biodegradability along with sensitiveness towards the spoilage of the packed fish. Originality/value: In the future, consumers and retailers may prefer seafood containers equipped with such halochromic sensors to determine the degree of food deterioration as a direct indicator of food quality.

    THEORETICAL INSIGHTS AND ANTICANCER POTENTIAL OF 2,6-BIS((E)-(2-AMINO-4-NITROPHENYLIMINO)METHYL)-4-METHOXYPHENOL AND ITS BINUCLEAR CU(II) COMPLEX (Article)
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2025-02) Praveen S; Parinamachivayam G; Jeyaraman P; Prabakarakrishnan R; Natarajan A; Geetha K; Chinnathambi, Arunachalam; Alharbi, Sulaiman Ali; Pugazhendhi, Arivalagan; Kandasamy, Sabariswaran
    This study explores the synthesis and applications of a new Schiff base, 2,6-bis((E)-(2-amino-4-nitrophenylimino)methyl)-4-methoxyphenol (HL), and its copper(II) complexes. The Schiff base was prepared by reacting 2-amino-4-nitroaniline with 2,6-diformyl-4-methoxyphenol and characterized using techniques like microanalysis, UV–Vis, IR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, and LC–MS, confirming its structure. Theoretical studies provided insights into its molecular geometry and electronic properties. Cyclic voltammetry of the copper complex revealed diffusion-controlled electrochemical behavior, involving a single-electron transfer. Both the Schiff base and its Cu(II) complexes exhibited promising anticorrosion and anticancer activities, highlighting their multifunctional potential in industrial and biomedical applications. This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive characterization in developing innovative materials with practical uses.

    A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON TAILORING FACTORS OF POROUS BISMUTH OXYHALIDE PHOTOCATALYSTS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT APPLICATION (Article PDF)
    (Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2025-01) Kar, Prasenjit; Sathiyan, Govindasamy; Vivekanandan, K E; Venkatesan, Geetha; Siva, Govindasamy; Subramani, Ramesh; Kandasamy, Sabariswaran
    Background: Photocatalysis is a green, environmentally friendly approach for converting organic contaminants into harmless byproducts. Especially, Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, where X = Cl, Br and I) have emerged as promising photocatalysts for wastewater treatment due to their layered-by-layered structure, strong chemical stability and nontoxicity in compare to other metal oxides, which makes the photocatalyst advantageous for photocatalytic application. Methods: This review provides an overview of recent developments in the synthesis and application of BiOXbased porous photocatalysts for the removal of organic contaminants from wastewater. Firstly, morphologycontrolled synthesis of BiOX in degradation of organic contaminants. Then, modulation of electronic structure through doping, facet engineering and surface engineering has been highlighted for better photocatalytic applications. Furthermore, fabrication of diverse heterojunctions and co-catalyst loading upon BiOX are introduced, which can vary photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of organic contaminants. Significant findings: Finally, this review ended on the future trend and prospects of BiOX for the creation of potential high-performance photocatalysts in the near future. The porous structure of BiOX improved photocatalytic activity, pollutant degradation efficiency, visible light response charge carrier separation, and stability. Overall, bismuth oxyhalide photocatalysts have a lot of potential for effective and long-term wastewater treatment, and their development represents an important step towards addressing the global water pollution crisis.

    DECIPHERING THE IMPORTANCE OF NANOENCAPSULATION TO IMPROVE THE AVAILABILITY OF BIOACTIVE MOLECULES IN FOOD SOURCES TO THE HUMAN BODY (Article)
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025-02) Pugazhendhi, Arivalagan; Alshehri, Mohammed Ali Mohammed Ali; Kandasamy, Sabariswaran; Sarangi, Prakash Kumar; Sharma, Ashutosh
    Various bodily functions are maintained, and health benefits are provided by food-derived bioactive components. Fruits and vegetables contain numerous beneficial components, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, and phytonutrients. However, the body's ability to absorb these substances at a given rate and degree frequently limits their bioavailability. If food-derived bio actives are used as therapeutic or dietary interventions, this limitation can result in low efficacy and suboptimal results. Recently, nanotechnology has been a useful method for increasing the bioavailability of bioactive compounds produced from food. Active ingredients can be delivered and absorbed more efficiently with the help of nanotechnology. By altering their size or surface properties, bioactive components can be made more soluble, permeable, and bioavailable through nanotechnology. The present review will provide an overview of the various bioactive components, the application of nanotechnology to improve the availability of bioactive molecules to humans and animals, and the challenges and safety concerns associated with nanotechnology in the production of food-derived bioactive molecules.
