The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has rigorously investigated and conducted preclinical studies on the use of the South African indigenous plant species, Siphonochilus aethiopicus, commonly known as African ginger, in the treatment of allergic and respiratory diseases

This invention presents a plug-and-play energy management system designed for South African households, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) controls, opto-isolation, and delayed switching technology. It enables automated, safe, and intelligent switching between grid power and local renewable energy

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), in collaboration with its partners, has successfully developed an advanced biomanufacturing process for producing Recombinant Human Insulin. The technology involves microbial fermentation and purification of bulk drug substance, ensuring

According to the present invention, there is provided a process for extracting mucilage from succulent plants, in particular, the cladodes of the Opuntia ficus-indica or the leaves of the Aloe barbadensis or Agave Americana, the process comprising the steps of: Providing a source of cladodes or

The innovation describes a process for removing lead from a liquid such as contaminated water. The liquid is brought into contact with a PbrD protein which binds lead ions present in the liquid. The bound lead ions can then be recovered, for example as an insoluble salt or compound such as lead

This process is used for generating hydrogen by providing a hydrogen chemical carrier in the presence of an active catalyst in a reactor vessel and elevating the temperature inside the reactor by electromagnetic process to allow a dehydrogenation reaction to generate hydrogen. The active catalyst is
