To evaluate the cultivar variation in photosynthetic rate (Pn) of mango, observations were taken in 25 cultivars representing different agro-climatic region of the country at two stages i.e. full bloom (March) and developed fruit stage (May). Seven cultivars, Papatio, Lucknow Safeda, Neelam, Mulgoa, Khas-ul-khas, Himsagar and Nisar Pasand showed the higher Pn rate at both the stages, while nine...

The competitive reactions of lignocellulose hydrolysis and monosaccharide degradation in the subcritical water (SCW) coconut husk were investigated to optimize reducing sugar yield. Optimization analysis was performed by response surface methodology (RSM) kinetics studies. Parameters process optimization varied at 130-170 °C for 15-45 min. sugars measured using Dinitro salicylic acid method. yi...

Prevalence of diabetes was found to be 20.70 per cent and of potential diabetes 6.55 per cent in a survey of tuberculous population of 961 admitted in K. S. Ray Tuberculosis Hospital, Jadavpur, Calcutta, during a year from April, 1975 to March, 1976. The criterion of diabetes was taken to be blood sugar level of 141 mg. percent and above estimated by Folin and Wu method with photo-electric colo...

During the years 2022-2023, a field experiment was carried out at Post Harvest Laboratory of Horticulture Department, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Prayagraj to investigate "Standardization recipe for value-added Herbal Kinnow and Guava jelly better quality shelf life." The using Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with ten tre...

The most commonly used method for the measurement of the level of endo-xylanase in commercial enzyme preparations is the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) reducing sugar method with birchwood xylan as substrate. It is well known that with the DNS method, much higher enzyme activity values are obtained than with the Nelson-Somogyi (NS) reducing sugar method. In this paper, we have compared the DNS...

The Maillard reaction occurring between amino group and carbonyl group produces neoformed compounds having certain levels of antioxidant activity depending on the reaction conditions and the type of reactants. In this study, maillard reaction products (MRPs) derived from four model systems including chitosan-glucose (CG), chitosan-fructose (CF), chitosanmaltose (CM) and chitosan-lactose (CL) so...

Changes in the sugar and amino acid contents of potato tubers during short-term storage and the effect on the acrylamide level in chips after frying were investigated. The acrylamide content in chips began to increase after 3 days of storage at 2 degrees C in response to the increase of glucose and fructose contents in the tubers. There was strong correlation between the reducing sugar content ...
