The objective of this study was to compare the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of Hisbicusvitifolius flowers extract. The parameters observed in this study were phytochemical compounds including alkaloid, flavonoid, phenolic, sterol, triterpenoid, saponin, tannin and cardiac glycoside, total phenolic, total flavonoids content and macro, micro elements. Hisbicusvitifolius flowers extract has phytochemical compound such as alkaloids, phenolics, flavonoids, saponins and cardiac glycosides, total phenol was 110.92±0.18mg GAE/g sample dry base, total flavonoids were 148.53±1.02mg CE/g sample dry base, hence the water and acetone flower extract of Hisbicusvitifolius shows many compounds and may have been used in traditional medicine for prevention of several diseases.

Floral nectar which serves as an ideal habitat for yeasts and pigment producing bacteria due to its rich sugar content was explored. More than ten different species of bacteria, fungus and yeasts were observed in the nectar of Ixora coccinea and Hibiscus rosa sinensis flowers. The isolate showing abundant growth from the flower nectar was identified by morphological and molecular characterization as Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used for Bioethanol production. Sugarcane bagasse, an agricultural waste was used as a raw material for the production of bioethanol. The agricultural waste was grinded and liquified by alphaamylase and glucoamylase with the suitable preparation of buffer and the isolate was inoculated into the sample, fermentation process converted thepresent simple sugar in bagasse into ethanol and CO2. Distillation and heating producedthe final product, bioethanol. It was observed that its sugar concentration decreased (350mg-150mg) and thealcohol production increased (1.0ml-2.4ml) simultaneously. This technique is a very cost effective process to get an economically important product. Rather than just disposing or burning thesugarcane bagasse agricultural waste it can be used as biomass for bioethanol production.

Medical, electronic, aviation and other industries can benefit from pharmaceutical additive manufacturing. With its ability to create personalized, highly customized products, 3D printing has a lot of promise for the pharmaceutical sector. We were curious about the potential applications of 3D printing in the pharmaceutical sector. The adoption of 3D printing technology by pharmaceutical businesses has created new opportunities for the development and manufacture of printed goods and devices. As pre-surgical imaging templates and tooling moulds, 3D printing has gradually advanced to make one-of-a-kind instruments, implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, testing platforms and drug delivery systems.
