The analysis performed indicated that the carbohydrate content was considerably high (78.37%) and that there was a significant amount of dietary fibre (8.5%), moderate quantity of protein (3.84%), and low level of fat (1.59%). It was found to be high in energy and bioactive compounds that support a healthy gastrointestinal system. The results of the mineral analysis showed that banana peel powder contains calcium (5.4 mg/100g), phosphorus (2.19 mg/100g), iron (6 mg/100g), zinc (1 mg/100g), and copper (1 mg/100g) which are vital micronutrients. This finding indicates the potential of the banana peel powder in addressing the global burden of micronutrient deficiencies. Moreover, as the powder contains antioxidant properties, the functional benefits of the powder are further increased thus suitable for food fortification, animal feed and other health products. This research stresses the need to incorporate the banana peel powder as an eco-friendly and cost-effective means to combat food loss and enhance dietary health quality.

In tropical areas, 75% occurrence of Dengue are present, among them most of the infestations are lenient to immunosuppressed besides 5% occasion of Dengue infections are chronic. Persistent Dengue infections have many serotypes of Dengue virus. The seriousness of Dengue is hanged on various mechanism of immunopathogenic including host and viral agents. Pathophysiology of Dengue virus can be depended on alteration of T cells, immunopathology of antibody, cytokine storm. Manifestations of Dengue are agony in bones, muscles, joints, headache, temperature of fever is 40 °C, macular skin infestations, small haemorrhagic infections including purpura, malaise, petechiae, ecchymosis, epistaxis, haematuria, gums bleeding, aches. Dengue virus infections are present about 3 to 7 days approximately. Dietary modification is very much needed to balance the manifestation of Dengue. The therapy of macrophages must be started through modifying the concentration of butyrate along with specifically manage the ratio of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes which lesions the activity of proinflammatory mediators for instance NO, IL-6, IL-12 with the help of suitable dietary pattern. Noteworthy, adequate amino acids, dietary fibre, Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA), Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA), vitamins, polyphenols and other bioactive components are very much closely associated in monitoring the homeostasis of macrophages in intestine. This review is the sum up of pathophysiology, symptoms along with dietary strategy of Dengue virus.

There is a complex relationship between postbiotic compounds and human health, as numerous studies have shown. Postbiotics appear to be important mediators of the intricate and direct relationship between these variables. The word "postbiotics" describes a group of biological micro-and macromolecules that, when taken in sufficient quantities, have a variety of positive health benefits on the host. Due to their anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer capabilities, postbiotics may be able to regulate the efficiency of cancer treatment and lessen the negative effects of conventional medicines in cancer patients, according to several reports. Postbiotics have since drawn considerable scientific interest due to their distinctive properties and are regarded as a novel option for adjuvant therapy in patients with cancer. The antimicrobial and anticarcinogenic activity of postbiotics will be summarized in this review paper.
