Some physicochemical and cooking characteristics corresponding to different varieties and commercial samples of rice were analysed. Some mechanical properties determined by both, the viscoelastograf and the Instrom Universal Food Testing Machine were also analysed. Gelatinization time (Gt), gelatinization endotherm and amylose content were determined. The results showed that there was a very go...

In one carbon reaction, tetrahydrofolate works as cofactor for the synthesis of glycine, serine, methionine, purines and thymidylate. Folate or vitamin B9 is not synthesized in humans therefore plants are the main source of this essential vitamin. Deficiency of vitamin B9 may cause severe health consequences like birth defects, megaloblastic anemia, cardiovascular disorders, cancers, etc. To re...

Structural and functional differentiation of chro­ matin implies the search for the methods of isolation and characterization of DNA bound with chromatin fractions. Preliminary fractionation of chromatin fol­ lowed by the isolation of DNA from these fractions are the methods frequently used. The isolation procedure put forward by Strazhevskaya and Struchkov [1] makes it possible to isolate DNA ...

Objective: To investigate the cytomorphological and physico-chemical characteristics of Sida rhombifolia. Methods: Fresh leaves, stems and roots were studied for microscopical characters and dried powder of leaves, stems and roots were subjected to physico-chemical analysis using standard methods. Results: The detail microscopy of leaf revealed the presence of paracytic stomata, unicellular cov...

BACKGROUND There are many communities around the world that are exposed to high levels of particulate matter <10 µm (PM₁₀) of geogenic (earth derived) origin. Mineral dusts in the occupational setting are associated with poor lung health, however very little is known about the impact of heterogeneous community derived particles. We have preliminary evidence to suggest that the concentration of ...

The demand of milk product is increasing. Among all the milk products chocolate is mostly preferred confectionary product. In the present research the beany flavour of soymilk was reduced to a greater extent by autoclaving and washing. Various combinations of ingredients were tried for preparation of soymilk chocolate. Among the entire formulations sample ‘O’ had excellent appearance, color, gl...
