Pune scientists develop ‘fingerprint’ test for authentic jamun honey

Published by Parlour News

A new study by scientists at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune, has found that authentic jamun honey contains low glucose levels and high antioxidant content, providing scientific evidence for its long-held reputation as a healthier natural sweetener. A key outcome of the research is the development of a reliable authentication method for jamun honey. (HT PHOTO) The research, led by Udaya Kiran Marelli, analysed 82 authentic jamun honey samples collected from the Mahabaleshwar region of Maharashtra. Using advanced analytical techniques such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry (MS), the team, comprising Snehal Sadashiv Waghole, Shirin Hanna Moncy and Sapna Ravindranathan, developed the first comprehensive chemical profile of jamun honey and established a scientific method to verify its authenticity. The study found that jamun honey consistently contains lower glucose levels and higher fructose content. According to the researchers, this composition is associated with a slower release of sugar into the bloodstream, supporting the traditional belief that jamun honey may be a preferable option for individuals seeking foods …

Quinta Brunson to develop, star as Betty Boop in new feature film

Published by Parlour News

Emmy-winning actor and producer Quinta Brunson is set to develop and star as iconic cartoon character Betty Boop in a new feature film adaptation, according to People. Quinta Brunson will bring the iconic Betty Boop character on the big screen. Brunson’s production banner Fifth Chance Productions has teamed up with Mark Fleischer, grandson of Betty Boop creator Max Fleischer, for the project. The film will reportedly explore the origin and evolution of Betty Boop through the perspective of her creator, while examining the growing relationship between the artist and his famous creation amid the commercial and creative pressures of building one of the world’s earliest animated icons. “Betty Boop is one of our nation’s most beloved cartoon characters, yet somehow remains pleasantly niche,” Brunson said in a statement quoted by Variety. “She has had a quiet but undeniable impact on culture for nearly a century,” Brunson added. Quinta Brunson further shared that after meeting Fleischer and learning more about the history behind the character, she realised there was “a much deeper story to tell.” “One …

There are three pathways for India to develop greater energy resilience

There are three pathways for India to develop greater energy resilience

Published by Parlour News

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is, perhaps, a crisis too valuable to ignore. While some disruption is inevitable in the near term, within a timeframe of 5-10 years, more sustainable solutions may be found by realigning our energy dependence from external to internal sources. What are these internal sources? We could “drill, baby drill” for oil and gas off the Andaman & Nicobar islands. However, this is a very capital-intensive undertaking with uncertain outcomes, and if successful, it will, based on evidence, take decades to exploit. Commercialising fossil-fuel alternatives from locally available resources is imperative, along with an alternative supply and distribution chain for LNG. Based on current and emerging technologies, there are three feasible pathways for greater energy resilience: Widening electricity applications in transport, cooking, industrial process heat, and production of e-fuels; biofuels from agricultural residues and manure, municipal solid and liquid waste, and forestry biomass; increasing the share of natural gas in primary energy, and integrating small-scale LNG (SSLNG). We take up each in turn: First, India’s targets for non-fossil electricity …

Kerala University researchers develop high-efficiency, lead-free solar cell

Kerala University researchers develop high-efficiency, lead-free solar cell

Published by Parlour News

Researchers at the Kerala University have developed a new blueprint for the next-generation solar power by replacing toxic lead in perovskite solar cells for a mixture of tin and rare earth metals. The team has designed a solar cell that is not only environmentally “green”, but is also highly efficient. While solar energy is a cornerstone of clean power, the most efficient perovskite solar cells currently used in labs often contain lead, which poses environmental risks if the panels are damaged. The new study, published in peer-reviewed journal ACS Applied Engineering Materials, is expected to provide a realistic pathway to eliminate the toxicity without sacrificing performance.

Gynaecologist explains why women develop liver fat faster after 45: ‘Insulin resistance increases…’

Published by Parlour News

When women reach menopause, a major physical and hormonal shift occurs as estrogen levels drop. Consequently, many health risks may also increase because of the hormonal change, making it important to be cautious. Several organs and body systems are affected, and one of them is the liver. ALSO READ: Gastroenterologist shares 3 everyday habits that could be silently harming liver: ‘If you are drinking alcohol every…’ Women after 45 are at high risk of getting fatty liver. (Adobe Stock) HT Lifestyle connected with Dr Kanaga Lakshmi K, senior consultant – obstetrics and gynaecology at MGM Malar in Chennai, who revealed that women tend to gain liver fat faster after menopause, typically after the age of 45. Why does liver fat increase after 45? “After 45, many women enter perimenopause or menopause, where estrogen levels decline significantly. So, estrogen plays a very crucial protective role in how fat is distributed and metabolised,” she explained. It shows how influential estrogen is in a woman’s body, going beyond the reproductive system and managing fat distribution, too. The gynaecologist …
