Rhododendron plants are traditionally being used for the medicinal treatment of numerous human ailments like blood dysentery, headache, asthma, cough, stomachache, fever, inflammation, and fungal infections. Rhododendron also has economic, medicinal, and pharmacological importance. Rhododendron has been regarded as a rich source of secondary metabolites. Apart from aesthetic and sacred values, from past times, Rhododendron juice was prepared from the flowers to curb allergies, treat diabetes, and to deal with inflammations. Recent studies have shown several promising activities particularly relaxant, digestive enzyme, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, anticancer, and antagonistic effects. With the rapidly growing popularity of Rhododendron arboreum it is important to have a comprehensive reference for its nutritional benefits with the growing search for natural and health foods. This work aimed to review the recent advances in research carried out to date for purposive evaluation of nutritional quality and potential health benefits of Rhododendron arboreum for its utilization in food processing industries for composing novel value-added products, to achieve high consumer acceptability and health benefits.

The present experiment includes 40 combinations of coating materials viz. Aloe Vera gel [1/3(25%), 1/2(33%) and 1/1(50%)], Corn starch (0.5, 1, and 1.5 %), Calcium chloride (0.5, 1, and 1.5 %), Chitosan (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 %) for increasing the shelf-life of guava at ambient conditions. The effect of coating material on physiological loss in weight, vitamin C, acidity, soluble solids, and SS/acid ratio was observed. The different treatments showed variation in physiological and biochemical variables. Coated fruits delayed the increase in weight loss, soluble solids content and retained greater titratable acidity, vitamin C contents than control. Out of these 40 treatments, treatment T1 [Aloe vera 1/3(25%)], T2 [Aloe vera 1/2(33%)], T10 (chitosan 0.1%), T11 (chitosan 0.2%), T12 (chitosan 0.3%), showed the best result as compared to other treatments.

There are three main pillars of online courses which make them successful i.e. instructor, student and technology. Online courses push student towards boosting their knowledge, confidence and enhance their skills not only this people can also take online courses while doing other jobs, even while completing their degrees and maintaining status of their families. Students' satisfaction is important part and parcel of online courses, as it depends on student performance & also on quality aspect of online courses. Interaction is considered as an important factor for round about development of students & learner-student interaction is deliberated as enhancing the progress of students in field of education. It is cleared from facts in this review that new technologies have expanded prospective interaction among student & instructor, but careful planning should be done on part of instructor to have great growth on part of student. No doubt new technologies in this field has put great advantages but due to one way communication learners face many challenges and got the feeling of isolation as compared to offline learning. In offline learning which is also called traditional classroom learning, there is two way communication which leads to transparency and evolution of new ideas. But still learners are adopting the online courses due to short term duration and time flexibility. This review focus on various benefits on part of student, interaction of learner & instructor, challenges & key points that highlighted the online education importance in today's scenario.
