Scientific conference to report the results of implementation of the project of application and development of technology at the provincial level in Ninh Thuan

NTTU – Institute of Environmental Technology and Sustainable Development and Faculty of Pharmacy Nguyen Tat Thanh University successfully organized a scientific conference “Survey on reserves of raw materials; evaluate the safety and main effects of galangal produced in Ninh Thuan province”

On November 18, 2021, the Institute of Environmental Technology and Sustainable Development and the Faculty of Pharmacy Nguyen Tat Thanh University successfully organized the scientific conference “Surveying the reserves of raw materials from the mines; evaluate the safety and main effects of the extract produced in Ninh Thuan province” through an online form. This is an event within the framework of the provincial research, application and technology development project organized by the Department of Science and Technology of Ninh Thuan province.

The program was successfully organized through the online form

The seminar program brought together experts and young scientists in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, chemical technology from units inside and outside Nguyen Tat Thanh University to discuss and share the results obtained during the project implementation. Specifically, on the side of Nguyen Tat Thanh University, there are Institute of Applied Materials Science – Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Central Highlands University, Center for Ginseng and Medicine, NTT High Technology Institute, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Food and Environmental Engineering…

The conference gathered a large number of young experts and scientists in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, chemical technology, etc. to participate.

Products derived from plants have been and are being used in medicine more and more popularly. In Ninh Thuan province, according to the folk experience of the Rhe people, the extract from the roots of the coriander (Coptosapelta flavescens Korth.) is made into a product called “cao khau” and used as a traditional medicine remedy. Treatment of bone and joint diseases, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, diarrhea treatment… However, an important issue is raised related to the use of natural products in general and Cao Khai products. For the treatment of diseases, there is a lack of scientific evidence to confirm the actual use that has been and is being transmitted orally. Therefore, the Department of Science and Technology of Ninh Thuan province selected and assigned a research team from the Institute of Environmental Technology and Sustainable Development, Faculty of Pharmacy, Nguyen Tat Thanh University in collaboration with the Ninh Thuan Provincial Association of Oriental Medicine, and the Ninh Thuan General Hospital jointly carried out the project “Surveying the reserve of raw material resources of the mine; assess the safety and main effects of the extract produced in Ninh Thuan province” in order to (1) investigate, survey and determine the scientific name and report on the reserves and distribution of the sedum; (2) production and consumption situation of high declaration; (3) assessment of chemical and physical composition; main active ingredients; microbiological safety and toxicity; (4) evaluating the effect of galangal produced in Ninh Thuan in health care through an experimental model; (5) Propose the production process of Cao Khai and develop the basic standards of Cao Khai produced in Ninh Thuan… From there, it will serve as a basis to control, develop and improve the value of this traditional remedy. .

At the workshop, the researchers reported the results obtained during the implementation of the topic with 3 contents:

– Chemical, physical, active ingredients and microbiological safety of “cao Khai” products produced in Ninh Thuan province (MSc. Pham Tri Nhut)

– Investigation of acute oral toxicity, anti-inflammatory effects of “cao Khai” products produced in Ninh Thuan province (MSc. Nguyen Thi Bach Tuyet)

– Evaluation of the analgesic effect of “cao Khai” produced in Ninh Thuan province (MSc. Hoang Thi Phuong Lien)

The researchers jointly surveyed the reserves of raw materials of the stilts; evaluate the safety and main effects of Cao Khai as a basis for controlling, developing and enhancing the value of Cao Khai.

During the process of reporting and exchanging research results, the members of the Institute of Environmental Technology and Sustainable Development, Faculty of Pharmacy, Nguyen Tat Thanh University have demonstrated their professional capacity, manners, and abilities. distribute and coordinate professional work. Based on criticisms, suggestions as well as sharing from expertise and practical experience, the experts helped the reporter to review the achieved and failed issues during the implementation of the project. Thereby, there are appropriate corrections and supplements to complete the thesis summary report in the best way. The obtained results have also been recorded and scientifically validated through publication in domestic and foreign journals, conferences and seminars.

The seminar will be the basis and opportunity for the implementing members and the young scientists attending to gain new knowledge and perspectives in developing a better future research direction. Thereby affirming and enhancing the position of scientific research, cooperation in technology transfer and innovation of Nguyen Tat Thanh University in the international scientific community.
