This study aimed to fortify Jamun () juice with vitamin D to address vitamin D deficiency and boost health. A nanoemulsion of vitamin D was fabricated using a low-temperature (4-20C) sonication method and incorporated into the juice. The vitamin D fortified jamun juice (VDFJJ) exhibited a total polyphenol content of 14.37 mg GAE/mL, total flavonoids of 8.27 mg QE/mL, and 94.2 % antioxidant activity. It demonstrated antidiabetic potential, with IC values for α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition at 110 μg/mL and 134 μg/mL, respectively. Vitamin D showed 82 % release profile in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. After 4 weeks of VDFJJ intervention in vitamin D-deficient animal models, serum levels of 25-OHD, PTH, calcium, phosphorus, and ALP were significantly improved. Vitamin D demonstrated stability within the matrix, showing a slight reduction from 4000 IU to 2440 IU over a three-month period. This nanoemulsion approach effectively enhances the solubility and bioavailability of vitamin D in low-fat beverages like jamun juice, offering significant nutritional benefits and anti-diabetic properties.

The nutritional enhancement and optimum physical properties in formulating instant fruit juice powder are challenging. This study explored the development and evaluation of freeze-dried instant fruit juice powders from three tropical fruits: Guava (), Amla (), and Jamun/black plum (), aimed at offering health-promoting benefits and ensuring year-round supply. The freeze-drying method was chosen so that it helps in retaining the nutritional and sensory qualities of the fruits.

Hexavalent chromium is a toxic environmental pollutant that damages plants due to disruption of nutrient uptake, photosynthesis metabolism, and oxidative stress, which suppresses the growth and development of the plant. In this work, we have developed a betaine-modified carbon dot (BT@CD) sensor for monitoring Cr(VI) in water and plants. Fluorescent carbon dots have been synthesized using jamun juice () as the carbon source subjected to surface modification with betaine (BT@JCD).
