Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that prevents scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. It was discovered in the 17th century that lemon juice could prevent scurvy in sailors. Vitamin C helps form collagen, protects the immune system, aids iron absorption, and facilitates fat and neurotransmitter metabolism. Good dietary sources include citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, and leafy greens. While deficiency is rare, complete lack of vitamin C causes scurvy. The recommended daily intake is 60 mg but higher doses are considered safe and may provide additional health benefits.

Effect of acid & iodine value of karanja oil methyl ester (kome) & it...eSAT Journals
Abstract Due to increasing popularity of Biodiesel in the world each and every property is important while designing an Engine. Biodiesel is basically Fatty Acid methyl ester based fuel, a long chain of triglycerides and the alcohol in the presence of catalyst forms ethyl esters and the glycerol that process is known as Transesterification, if the free fatty acid content percentage in the oil is more than 2.5 % then the process by which the oil is converted to ethyl esters is known as Esterification followed by Transesterification. In this study we mostly concentrate on the Chemical properties; The Chemical properties like Acid Value, Iodine Value are having statistical correlations with the Gross Calorific Value of Karanja Oil Methyl Ester (KOME). We have also shown in the paper, the individual properties have how much percent statistical correlation with the gross calorific value, we have calculated it by Least square Approximation of Linear Regression. Keywords: Biodiesel, Transesterification, Esterification, Characterization of Biodiesel.

The movement of molecules from one phase to another is called partitioning.
If two immiscible phases are placed adjacent to each other, the solute will distribute itself between two immiscible phases until equilibrium is attained; therefore no further transfer of solute occurs.
Protein Extraction and Purification of Soybean Flakes and Meals Using a Lime ...IJMER
Protein extraction and purification by lime treatment and ultrafiltration on soybean
flakes and meals is an environmentally friendly process that promises a novel alternative to
conventional chemical treatment methods. Protein was extracted from soybean flakes and meals by
ionic-strength of lime as alkali treatment. After centrifugation, proteins were purified by
ultrafiltration.Lime treatedflakes and meals showed significantly higher level of dissolved solid,
protein, and carbohydrate extraction rate than conventional sodium hydroxide or water treatment.
Soybean flakes represented a higher extraction rate of protein and carbohydrate than meals. This
result may becauseby extensive cell distortion and disruption with cracking, cooking, and flatting
which allow lime solutes to easily permeate the cellular matrix. Ultrafiltration substantiallypurified
the protein with minor loss of yields, 94.42% and 96.79% for soybean flakes and meals, respectively.
Therefore, lime treatment and ultrafiltration is a viable option for extraction and purifying proteins of
soybean flakes and meals
A vitamin is an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts. An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when it cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by an organism, and must be obtained from the diet. Thus, the term is conditional both on the circumstances and on the particular organism.
A vitamin is an organic molecule (or a chemically closely related set of molecules, i.e. vitamers) that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet. Vitamin C can be synthesized by some species but not by others; it is not a vitamin in the first instance but is in the second. The term vitamin does not include the three other groups of essential nutrients: minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids. Most vitamins are not single molecules, but groups of related molecules called vitamers. For example, vitamin E consists of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Some sources list fourteen vitamins, by including choline, but major health organizations list thirteen: vitamin A (as all-trans-retinol, all-trans-retinyl-esters, as well as all-trans-beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids), vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate), vitamin B12 (cobalamins), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin D (calciferols), vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols), and vitamin K (phylloquinone and menaquinones).
Vitamins can be consumed in a variety of ways. Most common vitamins are acquired through the foods we eat! Here we are presenting Health Benefits of Vitamins and it's source.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

century – sailors got scurvy on ships and
ship surgeon, James Lind, prescribed lemon
juice as preventative. Performed an
experiment that proved that lemon juice
prevents scurvy.
We now know today that it is because of the
Vitamin C in the lemon that prevents scurvy
or a vitamin C deficiency.
3.
4. What is Vitamin C?
Also known as L-ascorbic acid it is an
essential nutrient for humans.
It is needed for metabolic reactions in all
plants and animals.
It is a water soluble vitamin that is necessary
for growth and development.
L-ascorbic acid molecule
5. Uses of Vitamin C
Protects against immune system
deficiencies, cardio vascular
disease, prenatal health
problems, eye disease, and skin
wrinkling.
Helps form collagen in bones,
cartilage, muscle, and blood
vessels.
Helps absorb iron.
6. Vitamin C is Found…
Mostly in citrus fruit and juices (limes,
lemons, oranges, peaches, strawberries,
bananas, and grapefruits)
Also in cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, leaf
lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and beans.
There are also vitamin C pills and other
things for supplements.
7. How does Vitamin C work?
Vitamin C reaches every cell of the body and plays a
role in the making and protecting of our connective
tissue that holds the body together.
Helps the immune system fight off diseases
Helps the cardiovascular system by facilitating fat
metabolism
Helps the nervous system by converting amino acids
into neurotransmitters
Vitamin C’s formation of collagen protects teeth and
bones.
8. How much should I take?
FDA recommends that we get 60 mgs of
vitamin C per day.
Dr. Linus Pauling believes that 10 grams a
day will prevent cancer.
There isn’t really a limit/ you can’t overdose
on vitamin C however too much might result
in tummy aches and diarrhea.
9. What Happens Without Vitamin C
Most people don’t lack vitamin C because
everyday foods have it.
Major effect is known as scurvy – which is a
condition that connective tissue breaks down
and fats are not absorbed causing easy
bruising, hair loss and anemia.
On average people get 70 mgs of vitamin C
a day and to prevent scurvy you only need 5-
6 mgs.
10. Vitamin C in Other Animals
All animals need vitamin C
Some animals can make their own
Humans, apes, guinea pigs and a few others
have lost this ability
11. Where can you get Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is in most everyday foods so you
can get it in pretty much anything.
You can get pills or supplements at any
vitamin store or grocery store.
