Development of functional food products from Sesbania grandiflora flowers and leaves as an immune booster for chemotherapy and dialysis undergoing patients

Cancer and kidney failure are two noncommunicable disorders that affect the quality of human life. The prevalence of CKD is 800 per million population (PMP), and the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is 150 to 200 PMP, and the treatment involves long-term dialysis. The projected incidence of people with cancer in India among males was 679,421 (94.4 per 100,000). and among females, 712,758 (103.6 per 100,000). Globally physicians started prescribing nutraceuticals as suitable immunoboosters for these conditions to produce a good therapeutic effect. Plants have been one of the important sources of medicine since the beginning of human civilization. There is a growing demand for plant-based medicines, health products, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetics. Sesbania grandiflora (L) is a multipurpose tree with edible flowers and is a source of one of the medicinal products. The proposal was made for the functional food product of Sesbania grandiflora targeting chemotherapy and dialysis patients with improved bioavailability. To validate the above-said properties, malted beverage powder formulations of Sesbania grandiflora prepared by the spray-drying technique and will be characterized for size, stability, and encapsulation efficiency.
