A study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the leather from five different cultivars (Red Fleshed, Allahabad Safeda, Lucknow-49, Chittidar, Apple Colour of guava. Leather quality was also observed using three different recipes for its preparation. The study revealed that organoleptic quality (i.e. colour, flavour, taste, texture and overall acceptability) of leather decreased gradually wi...

Two 90 days experimental trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of artificial diet (35% protein) on sensory quality of yearlings of Indian major carps (Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala and Catla catla). Experimental diet was given at 3% of fish wet body weight per day. After 90 days trial organoleptic study of fried fish was carried out by twelve panelists using hedonic scale for each spec...

Twenty-three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from different fermented foods of Western Himalayas have been studied for strain level and functional diversity in our department. Among these 23 strains, 10 S. cerevisiae strains on the basis of variation in their brewing traits were selected to study their organoleptic effect at gene level by targeting ATF1 gene, which is responsible for ...

An expert’s panel according to the official method of International Olive Oil Council analyzed the organoleptic profile of the oils produced during one single harvesting season from 57 cultivars of the Tuscan germoplasm.

Fillets of a hake, Merluccius merluccius hubbsi, were exposed to 2 kGy, 6 kGy, and 10 kGy of ionizing radIation from a Cobalt 60 source and were subsequently stored frozen at 0 degree C. Both these irradiated samples and control samples were examined to determine their bacterial counts and organoleptic qualities (texture, elasticity odor, color, and drip loss) for a period of seven weeks follow...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Supplementations of teff (Eragrostis teff (ZUCC.) Trotter) grain flour to wheat flour at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels on organoleptic and nutritional evaluation of the supplemented bread. Protein, moisture, ash and falling number as well as rheological evaluation were estimated for prepared flour blends and dough. Besides, organoleptic assessme...
