Colocasia antiquorum (Taro) and Nasturtium officinale (Watercress) leaves are highly potent indigenous crops with rich nutritional and phytochemical profiles. The leaves were mathematically modeled, using thin‐layer models, to study the process kinetics for convection drying and its cumulative effect on the physico‐chemical, nutritional, functional, phytochemical, and targeted metabolite profiles. The best‐fit model for C. antiquorum was the two‐term model, whereas for N. officinale, Page model showed the best adequacy with the determination of least Chi‐square and high co‐efficient along with root mean square error. The color and pigment degradation were the prominent changes observed in the quality characteristics of C. antiquorum and N. officinale leaves depicted by the color degradation study. The nutritional composition was significantly affected by the convective drying with reduced ash, protein, and phenolic contents. The extraction yields were however higher along with some elevated metabolite contents estimated for convection drying in comparison to freeze‐dried leaves.Practical applicationsThis study explores the drying kinetic behavior for the progression of moisture loss occurring over the drying time and moderation of drying to achieve a desired moisture content at certain drying rates. The quality characterization before and after selected drying conditions revealed the sensitivity of the chlorophyll/carotenoid pigments, nutrients, and phenolics retained significantly after the end point of drying. Also, the effect of convective drying on the physicochemical, nutritional, and phytochemical contents was significant, which edifies the extent of alterations occurring due to convective drying on the quality characteristics of Colocasia antiquorum (Taro) and Nasturtium officinale (Watercress) leaves. Consequently, these two leafy vegetables hold good potential as crops to be promoted for nutritional security and health and wellness due to their rich bioactive profiles.

The quest for bioactives that confer protection against chemotherapy induced cardio toxicity is a front-line area of cardio oncology research. Species of genus Morchella have been used in traditional medicine to treat asthma, wound healing, cough, cold, indigestion, excessive phlegm and breathlessness. M. esculenta, commonly known as guchhi in India is a highly prized culinary morel mushroom. Recent studies carried out in our laboratory have demonstrated significant cardioprotective effect of M. esculenta against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. Since bioactive extracts of morel mushrooms were found to possess profound antioxidant activity, the possible interference of these extracts with antineoplastic activity of chemotherapy drugs is often surmised. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of two anticancer drugs, DOX and cyclophosphamide (CP) on solid tumor-bearing mice treated with bioactive extract of M. esculenta. Solid tumor was induced by subcutaneous injection of Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) cells on the right hind limbs of Swiss albino mice. Animals were administered with various concentrations of methanol extract (ME) of M. esculenta following tumor induction. Tumor growth (volume and mass) was measured for four weeks after tumor induction. Cardioprotective effect of methanolic extract was assessed by determining cardiac injury markers levels in serum, antioxidant status in myocardium and histopathology of heart tissue. The results showed significant cardioprotective effect of ME of M. esculenta on tumor-bearing mice. The findings also suggest that ME of M. esculenta did not delimit the therapeutic effect of DOX and CP despite its profound antioxidant activity.

In today’s food industry, optimizing the recovery of high-value compounds is crucial for enhancing quality and yield. Multivariate methods like Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) play key roles in achieving this. This review compares their technical strengths and examines their sustainability impacts, highlighting how these methods support greener food processing by optimizing resources and reducing waste. RSM is valued for its structured approach to modeling complex processes, while ANNs excel in handling nonlinear relationships and large datasets. Combining RSM and ANNs offers a powerful, synergistic approach to improving predictive models, helping to preserve nutrients and extend shelf life. The review emphasizes the potential of RSM and ANNs to drive innovation and sustainability in the food industry, with further exploration needed for scalability and integration with emerging technologies.
