The natural jute fiber can be the effective material to reinforce concrete strength which will not only explore a way improve properties of concrete, it also use and restrict utilization polymer is environmentally detrimental. In Bangladesh, locally available and, hence, less expensive. To achieve this goal, an experimental investigation compressive, flexural, tensile strengths Jute Fiber Reinforced Concrete Composites (JFRCC) has been conducted. Cylinders, prisms, cubes standard dimensions...

Scientists are indeed fascinated by the pharmacologically important chemicals found in medicinal plants. Citrus fruits possess several curing agents for prevention of diseases. Therefore, experiments were carried out to test antibacterial activity methanolic extracts peels from various locally available citrus such as citron (Citrus medica), satkora macroptera) and adajamir assamensis) against Bacillus spp. E. coli using disc diffusion method. Different physicochemical characteristics fruit...

Food packaging is often made from plastic, which usually obtained non-renewable resources. The development of new technologies, like biocomposite films, has been driven in response to environmental concerns as well consumer demands for eco-friendly, high-quality products derived nature. Biocomposite films were prepared by incorporating taro mucilage, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ZnO, glycerol, and black cumin seed (BCS) oil. SEM results showed that the containing mucilage (TM), BCS oil had...

Noodles are a popular snack mainly produced from wheat flour; however, the low contents of protein, minerals, and lysine concern. Therefore, this research developed nutri-rich instant noodles by using foxtail millet (FTM) (Setaria italic) flour to improve protein nutrients increase its commercial importance. FTM was mixed with (Triticum aestivum) at ratio 0:100, 30:60, 40:50, 50:40, samples were named as control, FTM30, FTM40, FTM50 noodles, respectively. Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) rice...

This study<b> </b>investigated the effects of hot air drying and freeze methods on physicochemical functional properties green banana (<i>Musa sapientum</i>)<b> </b>flour incorporated biscuits. Both dried flour was replaced by wheat with different degrees substitutions including 0, 10, 15, 20% subjected to proximate analysis sensory evaluation. The results this study showed that method retained high amount protein, fat, ash fiber content in than method. moisture flour. That's why water...

This study aimed to assess the influence of taro mucilage (TM) and black seed oil (BSO) as an edible coating extend guava fruits’ shelf-life quality attributes. Four different coatings were applied, namely, T1 (1% TM + 0.75% glycerol 0.5% BSO), T2 (5% T3 (0.75% T4 chitosan BSO). Different parameters, including weight loss, surface color, firmness, chlorophyll, vitamin C, phenolic content, antioxidant, malondialdehyde, microbial load, measured at a regular interval. Significant differences...

The research endeavors to address the exigent demand for augmented nutritional efficacy in food commodities, alongside escalating preference expedient, superior, and health-conscious alternatives. As a result, ongoing investigation aims formulate instant noodles utilizing composite blend of flours, including foxtail millet (FMF), wheat (WF), mushroom (MF), rice bran flour (RBF), followed by subsequent evaluation functional properties, cooking attributes, amino acid composition noodles....

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a widely consumed beverage known for its numerous health benefits, largely attributed to rich content of quality determining secondary metabolites such as methylxanthine compounds and bioactive phenolic compounds. The goal this study was find out variations the levels methylxanthines, compounds, antioxidant activity in methanolic water extracts 129 tea samples grown three different ecological regions Bangladesh named Panchagar, Sylhet, Chattogram. Methylxanthine...

Abstract The combination of multiple strains and species in lactic acid bacteria-based fermented milk offers the potential for nutritional sensory attributes, making it an attractive option developing high-quality health-promoting probiotic yoghurt-like products. In present study, four combinations samples: Sample 1 (Control), 2 ( Lactobacillus desidiosus ), 3 fermentum 4 ) were developed. Proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate), physicochemical (pH, titratable...

This study aimed to analyze the effect of maltodextrin and egg white protein addition on physicochemical, functional, microstructures, drying characteristics microwave-assisted foam mat-dried (MFD) jackfruit juice powders. A microwave intensity 1 W/g was employed obtain optimal yield high quality The concentration influenced rate powders, with higher concentrations resulting in a faster rate. data obtained from Microwave-assisted mat powder were best fitted by Page Logarithmic kinetic...

We studied the drying kinetics of sliced potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) using a tray dryer. An experiment was conducted on how rate impacted by air temperature, sample thickness, and velocity. The study under varying temperature ranges (50°C, 60°C, 70°C), velocities (0.6 ms−1, 0.7 m s−1, 0.8 s−1), potato slice thickness (2 mm, 4 6 mm). findings revealed that higher correlated with an increase in rate, while thicker layers demonstrated decrease rate. further evaluated five mathematical models,...

Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are common obstetrical problem causing adverse effects on pregnancy outcome. Large bodies of evidences suggest that hyperhomocysteinemia is a causal factor pre-eclampsia/eclampsia. This study designed to explore the association between pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, knowledge which expected be used for prevention pre-eclampsia eclampsia. In case-control serum homocysteine was measured in 136 controls (healthy pregnant), 84 pre-eclamptic 120 eclamptic pregnant women....

An attempt was made to gain an insight about chemical compositions and antioxidant capacities of selected underutilized fruits Satkara (Citrus macroptera) Taikor (Garcinia pedunculata) in Sylhet, Bangladesh. The analysis showed β Carotene Vitamin C 22±1.50 mg/100g 210.43±0.40 whereas contains 45±1.00 142.83±2.03 respectively. mineral composition both is appreciable. Total polyphenol content (TPC) total flavonoids (TF) were 22.76±0.52 mg GAE/100g 18.98±0.65 GAE/100g, 23.38±1.0 RE/g 18.33±1.12...

Industrial processing of the fruit juice is responsible for changes in some quality attributes. Thermal treatment a most applicable operation any and it affects physicochemical antioxidant properties juice.
