Fatty acid analysis of the five types locally consumed edible oils (n = 22) was carried out using a Gas Chromatograph (G.C) equipped with Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and stainless steel packed column. The results showed that sunflower oil contained highest percentage long chain mono polyunsaturated fatty acids (91.49 ± 1.91 %) compared to soybean (81.14 1.49 %), mustard (86.80 3.07 palm (53.30 0.36 coconut (7.12 0.51 %). Two varieties oil, low erucic (= 5 %, n=3) high ( >14 n=2) two...
Despite high diversity in the Oriental region, ticks of genus Haemaphysalis have been neglected regarding their genetic data and vector potential. This study aimed to genetically characterize three species Haemaphysalis: cornupunctata, kashmirensis, montgomeryi infesting goats sheep, Rickettsia spp. associated with these tick Hindu Kush Himalayan range Pakistan. Altogether, 834 were collected by examining 120 hosts including (64/120, 53.3%) sheep (56/120, 46.6%), which 86 (71.6%) found be...
Five different brands of locally produced biscuits and five foreign were collected from the market. All these stored at ambient condition (30 ºC, 60 % RH) for 3 months. The changes in water activity, moisture their consequences on sensory qualities like texture, color, flavor overall acceptance investigated every month. Test packaging materials also carried out each brand packed biscuits. Moisture activity values have been increased with time all samples whereas scores decreased. However,...
Five different brands of locally produced chanachur packets were collected from the market. From each brand, having same date production bought and stored at ambient condition (30 oC 60 % RH) for 3 months. The changes in water activity, moisture consequent effect on sensory qualities like texture, color, flavor overall acceptance investigated every month starting zero month. Test packaging materials also carried out brand packed chanachur. Moisture activity values have been increased with...
The present study was done to evaluate the quality and vitamin A fortification status of 5 types commercial edible oils sold in Dhaka city markets. percentages free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (POV), iodine (IV) composition were estimated content determined 25 oils- soybean oil, sunflower rice bran mustard oil palm olein (5 brands each) . results revealed that FFA, POV IV analyzed within BSTI standard limits. highest saturated acids (SFA) values ranging from 39.85 ± 0.005 46.97 0.002 %...
To evaluate the quality of oil used to prepare French fries, fifteen samples three different categories were collected from Dhaka city. Using solvent extraction method, oils extracted samples. Fatty acid composition, color, peroxide value (PV) and free fatty acids (FFA) analyzed. It was found that soybean palm for frying purpose. Majority (60%) had more than 10 meqO2/kg with highest 17.57(±1.39) meqO2/kg. Average color score 53.17(±12.73), yellow 17.16(±3.79) red 7.2(±3.27). FFA content...
Selection of suitable packaging film is necessary to minimize the deteriorative changes foods. Packaging films differ for different food products. Flexible are now widely used instead hard packages processed dry In this study attempt has been made select a coriander powder at ambient temperature. Three types like heat sealable laminated aluminium foil, high density polythene (HDPE) and poly propylene (PP) were chosen. The in water activity, total ash, acid insoluble ash consequent effect on...
