Abstract:
This study was carried out to determine and compare the nutritional value of dried and processed tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum). Proximate analysis conducted on samples of dried tomatoes and processed tomatoes where moisture content, fat content, crude protein content, fibre content, and ash were determined. The analysis shows that, the processed tomatoes has high value composition of moisture content (12.00±0.05), crude protein content (2.60±0.01) and carbohydrate content (59.28±0.12) and it has less composition of ash content (12.00±0.02), fat content (2.0±0.06), fibre content (0.12±0.01) and energy (2.65±0.05) compared to the dried tomatoes with values of moisture content (20.00±0.13), ash content (14.00±0.08), protein content (1.68±0.02), fat content (5.00±0.12), fibre content (0.14±0.00) and energy (2.88±0.14). The study suggests the processed Lycopersicon esculentum is richer in nutrients than the dried Lycopersicon esculentum and recommended.

Abstract:
Many studies reported that the bacteria are one of the causes of infections occurs in women’s breast, mastitis, and the common bacteria that cause breast infections are S. aureus and S. epidemidis. However, there is a rare/or uncommon bacteria that cause infection including Pseudomonas species, Salmonella species, Porteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus group A/or B, Brucella, E. coli and Mycobacterium species. The mastitis affects both lactation and non-lactation women. Most bacteria contain virulence factors that help to penetrate the invaded tissue and secreted enzymes that degraded skin/tissue. In some cases, there is a possibility to increase the severity of the infection and led to cancer. We recommended the women they notice any abnormal change or feeling pain in the breast to visit a specialist to check their breast for any infection.

Abstract:
This present review aimed to focus on the lavender oil which used in alternative medicine for many centuries. Because of Lavandula species are highly aromatic plants and produce essential oils wich composition varies within the same species and among different species. The oil contains hundreds of chemical compounds and the major compounds such as linalool, linalyl acetate, β-ocimene, terpinen-4-ol, lavandulyl acetate and more others act on many chronic and degenerative illnesses, such as cancer autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. The secondary metabolites found in this plant have high antioxidant activity, important antimicrobial agents, several microorganisms, have activity against many fungal species, antiproliferative activity, anti-inflammatory activity, pain relief effect, wound healing effect and recognized as an antiseptic and insecticide agent. Also used as an ingredient in bath salts and washing agents as well as commercial cosmetic products: hair shampoo, cosmetic and bath products.
