[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

Rising health consciousness has encouraged people to shift from artificial sweeteners to natural ones such as stevia. Numerous other factors such as the rising demand for sugar-free and low-calorie products, lifestyle changes, growing disposable incomes and government support to reduce sugar intake are also influencing the global demand of stevia. According to IMARC Group, the global stevia market was estimated to be worth around US$ 370 Million, growing at a CAGR of around 9% during 2008-2015.

Sprayable Antibacterial Film: A Nanosilver Composite
TEAM: Nathan Cloeter, Luis Correa, Benjamin Lee, Matt Reilly, Mercedes Valero

ABSTRACT: Recent studies suggest that cell phones are one of the surfaces with the most bacteria we encounter in our day, where it was shown that 1 in 6 cellphones are contaminated with fecal matter (Song). Silver nanoparticles have been shown to be highly efficient antibacterial nanoparticles, largely due to the oxidation and release of silver ions (Ferrer, Guo). Composite materials with antibacterial polymers and silver nanoparticles expand the applications of silver nanoparticles for antibacterial purposes, especially because they can be used as coatings for a variety of applications. These composites are beneficial because the nanoparticles can prevent bacterial growth while the polymer can prevent bacterial adhesion. This design takes advantage of the inherent antibacterial properties of chitosan, a polysaccharide extracted from shrimp shells, and the silver nanoparticles to produce a chitosan based polymeric coating with enhanced antibacterial properties. In the design, the properties of the sprayable solution, the nanoparticle formation kinetics and the film properties were studied. We also report on the results from the preliminary prototyping and antibacterial testing of films designed to be applied to the Aluminum back of the iPhone 5.
