The present experiment was conducted at the Molecular Horticulture Lab. of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University to develop products by processing different parts of jackfruits and to evaluate the nutritional quality of the processed products. The highest total soluble solids were observed from jelly (65.00 %). The highest pH was also found in jelly (5.047). Green pickle contains highest...

Tocopherol and tocotrienol contents of raw fruits and vegetables and processed products were determined by saponification and normal phase liquid chromatography. All samples were either locally obtained or collected as part of the US Department of Agriculture’s National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program (NFNAP). All fruits, vegetables and processed products were selected from the USDA Key Food...

Silica gel has been used for synthesis of biscoumarin derivatives starting from 4-hydroxycoumarin and aryl aldehydes. The reaction conditions are completely in agreement with green chemistry principles including sing water as media and a recyclable and safe catalyst. This method is also simple and inexpensive and leads to high yield of products in short reaction times.

A simple and mild method for tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols is reported at room temperature using a catalytic amount of 3-methylimidazolinium hydrogensulfate([Hmim]HSO4) as a green, efficient and reusable catalyst. Using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, modest and clean work-up, short reaction times and high yields of the products are the advantages o...

An effective one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrimidinonoes in solvent free conditions using CuCl2 as an inexpensive and readily available reagent through Biginelli condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea is described. Excellent yields, short reaction times for formation of the products and simple work-up are attractive features of this green protocol.

An efficient and environmentally benign procedure for synthesis of triarylmethanes is developed via condensation of aromatic aldehydes and N,N-dimethylaniline using small quantity of heteropolyphosphotungstic acid (HPW) as catalyst in water. Good functional group tolerance, simple green experimental procedure, and good to excellent yields of products are the most advantages of this work.

Human beings for their self-centeredness, warmth, and leisure in life, have chosen the avenue of globalization, technological advancement, industrialization. The price that they are paying this is catastrophe biodiversity, climatic changes, global warming, depleting resources, melting glaciers, greenery. Hence environmental sustainability sustainable development turned into a crucial agenda ass...
