Over the course of time and with the rapid increase in human population need for mutual relations become crucial. Resultantly on behalf of this closeness, separation, anti-standpoints and comparisons also emerged. As the time passed by hatred and hypocrisy and other social vices spread on large scale. Thus human society was waiting for such liberator who may lead and work for the betterment of this society. With the dawn of Islamic civilization all such issues were not only resolved but also provided with a model for containing the difference of opinion and multiple traditions under its unique worldview. Islamic History presents itself as a model where the minorities were provided with the opportunities of participating in political, social, educational and collective affairs. Thus in a society where tyranny, injustice, un-forbearance, religious intensity, terrorism and the activities of violating the human rights were very common, were substituted by the Islamic ideal of forbearance. It is argued here that the solution of all these issues was only in religion contrary to what is being claimed about an idea of social harmony where religion is not given its due position. Today its our dire need to develop a sense of harmony, modesty, affection and peacefulness among the masses of various religions of Pakistani society. It is further argued that for this very noble cause all the religious scholars and their followers can come forward playing their pertinent role.
Germination generally increases the nutritive value of seeds by modulating phytochemical composition depending on processing conditions. Therefore, the current study was conducted to compare the effect of emerging processing techniques such as ultrasound (US) and microwave (MW) on phytochemicals composition of sorghum sprouts. Overnight steeped sorghum grains were divided into four groups. The first group was designated as control without applying any treatment. Second group was subjected to ultrasonic treatment using 40% & 60% amplitude for 5 & 10 min. Third group was exposed to microwave treatment at 450 W & 700 W power levels for 15 & 30 sec. Similarly, fourth group was treated with combined MW & US application for different intervals. Microwave and sonication processing significantly improved the germination percentage and growth parameters, hence the phytochemical profile improvement. After germination, sprouts subjected to different quantitative analysis showed that with increased germination significant reduction was observed in anti-nutritional components such as alkaloid, saponin, tannin and phytate contents while contents of total free amino acids, sterols, and digestible proteins and carbohydrates increased. The oil yield and fatty acid composition increased with increasing amplitude of processing techniques. Antioxidant activities and HPLC analysis for individual phenolic compounds also improved significantly with high germination. In-vitro protein digestibility was significantly higher while bio-accessibility of polyphenol and flavonoid was insignificantly affected. From the present investigation, ultrasound processed treatment US1 (40% amplitude for 5 min) and microwave processed treatment MW2 (700 watt for 5 sec) are found paramount to improve the composition and bio-accessibility of phytochemicals through enhanced germination of seeds.
