Title: Most Effective Combination of Nutraceuticals Among Multivitamins, Zinc, Polyphenols, Omega Fatty Acids, and Probiotics for Improved Memory and Cognitive Performance in Acheta Domesticus
Biography:
Samskruthi Madireddy is an independent research scholar interested in psychology, neuroscience, nutrition, gut microbiomes, and cognitive science. Her work is centered around the role of nutrition in brain health, particularly in relation to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Huntington’s Disease, as well as other neurological disorders.
Abstract:
Dietary intake of multivitamins, zinc, polyphenols, omega fatty acids, and probiotics have all shown benefits in learning, spatial memory, and cognitive function. It is important to determine the most effective combination of antioxidants and/or probiotics, because regular ingestion of all nutraceuticals may not be practical. This study examines various combinations of nutrients to determine which may best enhance spatial memory and cognitive performance. Based on the 31 possible combinations of multivitamins, zinc, polyphenols, omega-3 PUFAs, and probiotics, 128 house crickets (Acheta domesticus [L.]) were divided into one control group and 31 experimental groups with four house crickets in each group. Throughout 8 weeks, crickets were fed their respective nutrients, and an Alternation Test and Recognition Memory Tests were conducted every week using a Y-maze in order to test spatial working memory. The highest scoring diets shared by both tests are the combination of multivitamins, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids (VitZncPuf; Alternation:slope = 0.07226, Recognition Memory:slope = 0.07001), the combination of probiotics, polyphenols, multivitamins, zinc, and omega-3 PUFAs ( ProPolVitZncPuf; Alternation:slope = 0.07182, Recognition Memory:slope = 0.07001), the combination of probiotics, multivitamins, zinc, and omega-3 PUFA (ProVitZncPuf; Alternation:slope = 0.06999, Recognition Memory:slope = 0.07001), and the combination of polyphenols, multivitamins, zinc, and omega-3 PUFA (PolVitZncPuf; Alternation:slope = 0.06873, Recognition Memory:slope = 0.06956). All of the nutrient combinations demonstrated a benefit over the control diet, but the most significant improvement compared to the control was found in the VitZncPuf, ProVitZncPuf, PolVitZncPuf, and ProPolVitZncPuf. Since this study found no significant difference between the performance and improvement of subjects within these four groups, the combination of multivitamins, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids (VitZncPuf) was concluded to be the most effective option for improving memory and cognitive performance. This outcome could be applied to humans as well, especially in childhood education, since quality of nutrition can have a significant effect on memory and learning. Especially with our current disparity, which leads to food deserts and differing access to quality food, this may reveal changes to be made in mass nutrition to support cognitive performance and learning.

Abstract:
The present study was conducted to develop a new product i.e weaning food using multipurpose flour, papaya powder and milk powder, there is an urgent need of such types of weaning food which were formulated from locally available cereals and legumes, having low cost with desirable nutritional and sensory qualities. Three variations were developed using wheat flour(WFwr), soya flour (WFsr), gram flour (WFgr), these were prepared from the blend of above in gradients suspended in water forming slurry, dehydration of the product was done in drier and pulverized to fine powder. The physiochemical, microbiological properties were studied using different packaging materials during ambient storage. The study showed that in combination film (CF), packaging there was less variation, regression analysis for moisture content (R2 = 0.9556), browning index (R2=0.9926), vitamin C(R2=0.9869), acidity (R2=0.945), showed positive regression. Microbiological studies were performed TPC(log TPC/gm), it was found that after 75 days some growth was seen. Sensory quality of weaning food showed that (WFgr) got (P<0.05 r scores in respect to color and flavor during ambient storage, indicating synergetic effect of gram flour. Thus these weaning foods could be of great help in improving the nutritional status of children by providing nutritional supplement.

Abstract:
Since 2014 till date there has been an increase record of avoidable deaths from heart diseases and obesity. Although more attention has been given to smoking and its health outcome on the lungs. In a research by the World Health Organization in the Global health risk journal; the leading global risks for mortality in the world are high blood pressure (responsible for 13% of deaths globally), tobacco use (9%), high blood glucose (6%), physical inactivity (6%), and overweight and obesity (5%). These risks are responsible for raising the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancers. They affect countries across all income groups: high, middle and low. Although theses diseases are sometimes hereditary or may occur without a cause they can be modified and controlled to it's barest minimum via diet modification. A heart disease like atherosclerosis; the buildup of fat and cholesterol in the artery can be caused by excessive, uncontrol intake of fatty foods/ food high in cholesterol. Nutrition therapy/ modification is an important aspect of healthcare that can’t be over emphasized as it goes beyond tastebuds and satisfaction. Nutrition contributes to +- 50% of our health status as we can’t appropriately give credit to healthcare/ healthy outcomes outside nutrition modification and proportion.
