An experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth performance and meat quality traits of broilers fed a diet supplemented with dry-ground curry leaves (Murraya koenigii). A total of 750 one-day-old broiler chicks (Cobbs 500) were arranged in the experiment with a completely randomized design and allotted to one of five treatments, with $T_1-Control$ and $T_2-T_5$ curry leaves powder levels (i.e., 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% and 1.2%, respectively). The initial body weights, final body weights and daily feed intake were measured over an experimental period of 32 days. At the conclusion of the experiment, the carcass weights and meat quality parameters were measured. The birds fed diets supplemented with curry leaves powder had a higher weight gain (P<0.05; ADG), improved feed conversion ratio (P<0.05; FCR) and lower mortality (P<0.05) rates compared to the birds in the control group. Nonetheless, there was no difference (P>0.05) in feed intake among the dietary treatments. Similarly, supplementation of curry leaves powder had no effect (P>0.05) on the proportions of the carcass, leg meat and drumstick. No differences were (P>0.05) observed in cooking loss or the pH of meat from broilers fed the curry leaves supplemented diet. However, curry leaf supplementation affected (P<0.05) the meat water holding capacity. A sensory evaluation showed higher levels of taste and tenderness in meat from broilers fed with curry leaves powder. In conclusion, our results suggested that curry leaves powder improved the growth performance of broilers, with a lower incidence of mortality and improvement of some meat qualities.

26종의 향신료와 이들 향신료를 사용하여 제조하는 instant curry 제품의 SOD 유사활성을 측정한 결과 모든 시료에서 SOD 유사활성이 나타났으며 그 중 clove가 $232,143{\pm}19.989\;unit/g$로 가장 높았고, rosemary, cassia, tarragon, allspice, oregano, bay leaves, basil, marjoram, thyme, star anise등에서도 g당 $10^5\;unit$ 이상이었다 시판되는 10종의 instant curry제품을 사용하여 $100^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 가열 후 SOD 유사활성을 측정한 결과 g당 $400{\sim}700$ units 정도였다. Nitrite 분해능을 확인한 결과 26종 향신료의 상온수 추출물($(25^{\circ}C)$과 열수 추출물$(100^{\circ}C)$ 그리고, instant curry 10종의 열수 추출물에서 모두 nitrite 분해능을 확인할 수 있었다. pH 1.2에서 상온수 추출물의 경우 clove가 $(97.58{\pm}0.88%)$로 가장 높은 분해율을 나타냈으며 cassia, bay leaves, allspice, oregano, staranise, rosemary, tarragan의 경우도 90% 이상의 분해율을 보여주었다. 그리고 열수 추출물의 경우에도 상온수 추출물과 거의 유사한 nitrite 분해율을 나타내었다. Instant curry의 원료로 사용되는 pure curry의 경우 숙성기간(0주${\sim}$12주)에 따른 nitrite 분해능을 측정한 결과 pH 1.2에서 $50{\sim}60%$ 정도였으며 숙성기간 중 변화가 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 instant curry 제품을 사용하여 pH 1.2 조건하에서 nitrite 분해능을 측정한 결과 제품별 차이는 있었으나 12${\sim}$28% 정도의 분해능을 가지고 있었다.

The inhibitive effect of extracts of tamarind seeds and jackfruit seeds, curry leaves and henna leaves on corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl solution have been studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance measurements. Results obtained from the electrochemical techniques were in good agreement with weight loss results. From the weight loss data, the values of surface coverage ($\Theta$) and corrosion rate were calculated. The inhibition efficiency (IE) increased with increasing inhibitor concentration in 1M HCl solution. In all the cases the adsorption of the natural product extracts on the mild steel surface from 1M HCl follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm relationship. Potentiodynamic polarization studies reveal the fact that all the four natural product extracts act as mixed type inhibitors. The decrease in the inhibition efficiency follows the order: Extracts of jackfruit seed>henna leaves>curry leaves>tamarind seed.

Murraya koenigii leaves commonly known as 'curry patta' are routinely added to Indian gravy and vegetarian dishes by south Indian as a favourate condiment. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) on memory in rats. Elevated plus-maze and Hebb-Williams maze served as the exteroceptive behavioral models for testing memory. Diazepam-, scopolamine- and ageing-induced amnesia served as the interoceptive behavioral models. MKL fed orally to various groups of young and aged rats with diet containing 2, 4 and 8% w/w of MKL for 30 days consecutively were investigated. The MKL diets produced a significant dose-dependent improvement in memory scores of young and aged rats and significantly reduced the amnesia induced by scopolamine (0.4 mg/kg, i.p.) and diazepam (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Therefore, it would be worthwhile to specifically investigate the therapeutic potential of MKL in the management of dementia patients.
