MNPs, which have been used as template to develop therapeutic drugs. MNPs isolated from invertebrates have shown wide range of therapeutic properties including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anticoagulant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, wound healing and immune modulator, and other medicinal effects.Therefore, marine invertebrates are rich sources of chemical diversity and health benefits for developing drug candidates, cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and molecular probes that can be supported to increase the healthy life span of human.

Apart from its use in cooking and cosmetics, it has a number of documented medicinal uses it has effects on the gastrointestinal system, reproductive system, nervous system and immune system and hypoglycaemic, hypolipidaemic, antimicrobial, antioxidant and chemoprotective activity. 

Moreover, star anise contains bioactive compounds possessing insecticidal properties, which can be exploited for evolving natural grain protectants. More attention also has to be focused on the antimicrobial, antioxidant and chemopreventive properties of the spice. 

The physical and mechanical properties indicate that edible hlms have a potential application in agricultural and biomedical helds. The potential applications of edible him for commercial application to extend shelf- life and improve microbial safety in whole and minimally processed fruits and vegetables as well as poultry meat and sea food products seems promising. Furthermore, these edible hlms can be tailored to incorporate antimicrobials, antioxidants, phytonutrients, nutraceuticals, nutrients, havor, colors, and food additives. These areas need extensive research. 

Excipients such as buffers, antimicrobials, antioxidants and chelating agents may be required for optimal drug stability in IDDS formulations. Several unique criteria when selecting excipients must be considered. 

Nowadays saponins have been studied because different beneficial properties to health have been described. Saponins possess a broad variety of biological effects analgesic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and cytotoxic activity, effect on the absorption of minerals and vitamins and on animal growth, hemolytic and immunosti-mulatory effects, increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa neuro-protective action, and reduction of fat absorption (Gu lii-Ustundag and Mazza, 2007). However, the biological properties of quinoa saponins require further study. 

Liquid scrubbing is also known as one of the most efficient methods for very fine-particle collection, but they are gathered in the form of a suspension that can be rather used for nasal, pulmonary, or parenteral delivery. The suspension stability is often a delicate issue because no chemical or biological degradation shall occur, nor particle decantation, which requires the use of complex mixtures, including a buffer (especially for biomolecules), preservatives (antimicrobial, antioxidant, etc.), and surfactants. Several systems have been described (37,86-88) ... 

In order to explain and confirm the biological activities claimed by the traditional medicine, and to search for new biologically active compounds we studied the antimicrobial, antioxidative, immunomodulatory, antiinflammatory, skin-regenerating and antiviral properties of Fraxinus ornus bark extract and its components. In a parallel detailed phytochemical investigation of the extract we isolated and determined the structures of many hydroxycoumarins, secoiridoid glucosides, caffeoyl esters of phenylethanoid glycosides, lignans and other phenolic compounds. 

The work presented in the preceding pages described the antimicrobial, antioxidative, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, skin regenerating, photodynamic damage prevention and antiviral properties of Fraxinus ornus bark extract and its constituents. 

Approximately 3000 essential oils are known of these approximately 300 are commercially important and widely used in the perfume, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries. It has long been recognized that some have antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antimycosic, antitoxigenic, antiparasitic, and... 

Biologically active peptides are food-derived peptides that can exhibit diverse activities, including opiate-like, mineral binding, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antithrombotic, h)q)ocholesterolemic. 

Bioactive peptides have been defined as specific protein fragments that have a positive impact on body functions or conditions and may influence health. Upon oral administration, bioactive peptides, may affect the major body systems—namely, the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, and nervous systems. The beneficial health effects may be classified as antimicrobial, antioxidative, antithrombotic, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory [87,88].

Peptides with different bioactivities have been identified in many fermented milks, such as sour milk, yogurt, kefir and dahi, as reviewed by Fitzgerald and Murray (2006), Korhonen (2009) and Hernandez-Ledesma et al. (2011). In addition to anti-hypertensive peptides, casein phosphopetides, antimicrobial, antioxidative and immunomodulatory peptides have been found depending on the origin of milk, dairy cultures and technology applied in production.
