Individually these three seeds are reported to contain rich nutrients along with antioxidants, probiotic soluble fibres and thus the mixture of three increased this potential. Individual seed and the mixture was evaluated by &lt;em&gt;In- vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;In-vivo&lt;/em&gt; methods for Nutraceutical Potential. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Proximate analysis of the mixture showed rich nutrient content and provided good combination of nutrients. Individual seed powder as well as mixture was tested for prebiotic potential using lactobacilli culture, which showed positive results. Each seed powder as well as mixture was tested for antioxidant potential using DPPH free radical scavenging assay, with promising results. It’s &lt;em&gt;in- vivo&lt;/em&gt; effect was studied using Wistar albino rat as animal model. This study involved haemogram and lipid profile determination which showed certain promising results. The powder mixture was developed into two products namely capsule and health drink powder formula.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The nutraceutical powder mixture of seeds of Cucumis melo, &lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Linum usitatissimum&lt;/em&gt; could be a promising product with antioxidant, prebiotic and nutraceutical potential for diabetic and cardiac patients where oxidative stress is a major underlying cause.&lt;/p&gt;

It is known as the &amp;ldquo;Tree of Heaven&amp;rdquo;, used in traditional medicine in many parts of Asia, including China to treat cold, gastric diseases, diarrhea and endoparasites. It is also used as a bitter aromatic drug and as an antitumoral. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study deals with comparative pharmacognostical parameters for the bark of stem and root of &lt;em&gt;Ailanthus altissima&lt;/em&gt;, Mill. Swingle. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The stem and root bark were collected, shade dried and powdered plant material was studied for its proximate values by standard methods. The extracts were subjected to a preliminary phytochemical screening for the detection of various phytoconstituents. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Proximate analysis revealed that the dry plant powder of stem bark has 6.48 % total ash, 0.42% acid insoluble ash, 4.60 % water soluble ash and for root bark 7.22 % total ash, 0.74% acid insoluble ash, 5.98 % water soluble ash. The Loss on drying for stem and root bark were found out to be 6.62 % and 10.46 % respectively. The stem and root bark of plant powder were found to possess phytoconstituents. Fluorescence analysis revealed the behaviour of the plant powder when treated with different chemical reagents. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study reveals the preliminary phytochemical and proximate analysis of stem and root bark of &lt;em&gt;Ailanthus altissima&lt;/em&gt;. Information obtained from these studies can be used as markers in the identification and standardization of this plant as a herbal remedy and also towards monograph development on the plant.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">668</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weekar Younus Raja, Zulfiqar Ali Bhat, Ishtiyaq Ahmad Chashoo &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Spices are reputed to possess several pharmacological properties. Due to geographical, ethnical, and traditional differences, &lt;em&gt;rasam&lt;/em&gt; recipe and the preparation process have a wide difference. Hence, the objective was to standardize &lt;em&gt;rasam&lt;/em&gt; and then to perform a chemical analysis so that its pharmaceutical potential beyond nutritive effect can be explored. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The quantity of ingredients and the process followed for preparing &lt;em&gt;rasam &lt;/em&gt;by the 17 volunteers selected from in and around Vellore, Tamil Nadu was standardized. The proximate, nutritive, elemental, and phytochemical analysis were determined for the standardized &lt;em&gt;rasam&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, and sulfated ash were found to be 1.7%, 0.04%, 0.12%, and 1.86%, respectively. The extractive values such as water soluble, ethanol soluble, and ether soluble were found to be 4.5%, 3.93%, and 0.61%, respectively. The standardized &lt;em&gt;rasam&lt;/em&gt; showed very low-energy content of 15.13 kcal/100 g. &lt;em&gt;Rasam&lt;/em&gt; contained alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides. and volatile oil. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ingredients used in the preparation of &lt;em&gt;rasam&lt;/em&gt; are medicinally claimed for various ailments, which makes it a traditional functional food. The standardized procedure provided tremendous opportunity to study the pharmaceutical potential in a systematic scientific way beyond its culinary and nutritive effect.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">587</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agilandeswari Devarajan&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Muthu Kumaradoss Mohan Maruga Raja&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
