Coimbatore: University of Bharathiar has pocketed two patents for its innovative projects in the past two months.
While patents to identify and isolate compounds with anti-diabetes potential from wild jamun fruit trees, others are to standardize the metal recovery method of solid metal metal bearings.
According to a statement from the University, a patent application for the previous project was submitted on September 9, 2015 and after the filtering process by the patent committee, a patent was given on June 25 (Friday).
Similarly, patent applications for the last project submitted on October 1, 2020 and patents were given on May 18, 2021.Paten and Professor T Parimelazhagan said this was the first time the compound with anti-diabetes nature was found in wild jamun fruit trees, known scientifically as syzygium MundaM, in Western Ghats.
Professor in the botanical department, Parimelazhagan began exploring the scientific biological nature of the tree.
Research in this field was carried out by Bachelor’s research Rahul Chandran, who currently works as a research coordinator at the Laser Research Center at the University of Johannesburg.
Parimelazhagan said, “We have identified four compounds that are rich in anti-diabetes from tree skin pasta.
We also Standardize the process.
“The statement said it could be a natural remedy with fewer side effects to treat diabetic patients, cost effective and would benefit many people.
Farmers can also benefit by processing plants based on demand and therefore in turn they can improve their socio-economic status.
Other studies conducted by K Ramachandran, Professor Associate, Department of Physics, together with research scholars R Saravanakumar and PV Anathapadmanabhan the statement said their research involves reducing metal oxides and metal recovery from heterogeneous waste mixed complex oxide containing elements such as aluminum, magnesium and iron.
This is a typical composition of solid chromium waste disposed of in the Ranipet district.
