Article Abstract
Developing biomaterials having wound healing properties within the search of a common man is the need of hour, particularly in developing and third world countries. Keeping this objective in view we have developed a wound dressing material, in sheet form, containing fish scale collagen (FSC) and physiologically clotted fibrin (PCF), both are by products of aqua food and meat industries respectively. To impart antimicrobial properties to the composite sheet, it was incorporated with Macrotyloma uniflorum plant extract (MPE). SEM pictures have shown that FSC:PCF:MPE composite has fibrous and porous surface which helps in transportation of oxygen as well as absorbing wound fluids and their evaporation. The biomaterials have shown 100% biocompatibility and the percentage cell viability was found to be above 89%. The FSC:PCF:MPE biocomposite film with required mechanical strength, biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties can be tried as a burn/wound dressing material.

Salinity stress is one of the most detrimental environmental stresses affecting growth and physiology in horse gram. The seedling growth performance of plants stressed by salinity can be improved by seed priming with plant growth hormones. In the present study, the effects of increasing salinity levels (100 and 150 mM NaCl) alone or in combination with gibberellic acid (GA) and indole 3-butyric acid (IBA) were investigated in two commonly grown horse gram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.

Unlabelled: The study was designed to supersede chicken meat protein with Indian plant based pulse proteins. Pulse protein concentrates were extracted via alkaline/isoelectric precipitation from Vigna radiate (green gram), (horse gram), (cowpea) and (yellow pea). Results revealed that the protein content of pulse protein concentrates ranged from 79 to 87%.

Macrotyloma uniflorum is known for being a rich source of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, and micronutrients. Since ancient times, it has been used as a pulse and traditional remedy in the Himalayan Mountains for curing kidney and bladder stones, bronchitis, asthma, piles, leukoderma, and heart diseases. Horse gram contains bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its health advantages.
