The present work deals with comparison of microwave assisted extraction to that of conventional solvent extraction for the extraction of rice bran oil (RBO); focusing on extraction yield and oil composition. Microwave assisted extraction act as a green process over other method and proved that it is effective method for extraction of oil. The investigation also focuses on the study of functiona...

Rice is the major foodgrain of the world and it is the principle cereal consumed in India and other parts of Asia1. Milling of paddy to obtain edible rice grain yields two major byproducts of economic and nutritional importance, namely, paddy husk and rice bran. Paddy husk has no food value but has several industrial uses. Rice bran, on the other hand, can serve as an animal feed, as a human fo...

BACKGROUND The cholesterol-lowering abilities of rice bran's fiber and oil apart from its fatty acid composition remain unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the effects of defatted rice bran and rice bran oil in an average American diet on blood lipids in moderately hypercholesterolemic persons. DESIGN Study 1 used a parallel-arm design. Twenty-six healthy volunteers ...

To set productivity standards and targets, and investigate inter-relationships between key measurements in swine breeding herds, farm productivity measurements were analyzed on 87 Japanese commercial farms in 14 prefectures. The 87 herds were ranked on the basis of number of pigs weaned per mated female per year (PWMFY), and 23 herds in the upper 25th percentile of this ranking were designated ...

One of the primary constraints in upland rice cultivation is disease blast (Magnaporthe oryzae), which can provide reduction up to 100% grain yield The use silicon with beneficial microorganisms (bioagents) be an alternative for control this and increase productivity grain. objective work was study effect rates bioagents suppression rice. methodology used tests carried out field conditions, two...

BACKGROUND In 2010, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) occurred for the first time in a decade in Japan. Movement or shipment of people and animals around infected farms was restricted; however these contingency measures proved insufficient to prevent FMD spread. Consequently, a total of 292 farms were confirmed as infected during this outbreak. We conducted a case-control study to identify the risk ...

The cost and return analysis of different sizes of broiler farms in the Punjab state has been carried out based on the primary data collected from 140 broiler farmers for the period March 2008 to February 2009 in three districts, viz. Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur and Muktsar. The study has shown that the total fixed investments per bird have been highest on small farms, followed by medium and large far...

Methane (CH4) is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2), and paddy fields are among largest sources of CH4 emissions. Owing to scarcity observational data, characteristics influencing factors fluxes in at different timescales need be further investigated. Observations via eddy covariance (EC) data were performed over four seasons two Nanchang, Ji...

The damage to the irrigation network has made farmers start complain about watering their farms. These complaints have an effect on interest lack of plant rice. problem is clear, availability rice decreasing in Ciburo nagari Suayan area. Care and maintenance networks that are lacking from group part factors rapid breakdown Local networks. In research, it more specific how participation agricult...

When organic practices may have negative environmental effects, understanding the trade-offs between economic and outcomes of agriculture is essential in its promotion. This paper examines whether rice was planted Japanese farms using combined application a multi-objective genetic algorithm life cycle assessment. A modeled farm with 30 hectares (ha) paddy fields constructed information from an ...
