Aquaculture, a rapidly expanding global food sector faces challenges like pathogenic infections, water quality management and sustainability. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as promising tools in aquaculture due to their antimicrobial, antiviral antifungal properties. AgNPs offer alternatives traditional antimicrobial agents. Their small size unique physicochemical properties enhance activity, effectively inhibiting pathogen growth reducing disease incidence aquatic organisms....
Spray drying is a preferred choice for development of highly soluble, rapidly dispersible apple powder. However, adhesion during spray syrups and juices encountered which leads to product loss. The main solution reduce using aids. Besides, control operating parameters (inlet air temperature feed flow rate) also closely govern the powder yield, physical, functional microstructural properties dried fruit Thus, aim study was evaluate effect inlet (IAT), carrier agent concentration (MD:GA), rate...
Qualitative analysis of the spray dried apple powder (SDAP) was carried out which revealed slightly higher moisture content (2.91%) and water activity (0.217) as compared to available in market (MP). Solubility, dispersibility sinkability SDAP comparable MP while significantly (p < 0.05) high wettability values were recorded for indicating its improved reconstitutional properties. Low cohesiveness, Carr's index angle repose depicting excellent flow characteristics. DSC thermograms showed Tg,...
Abstract Root rot of pea caused by Fusarium spp. is one the important diseases ( Pisum sativum L.). The causal fungus disease isolated from naturally infected plants was identified as solani f. sp. pisi (Jones). Evaluation four bio agents and nine fungicides done in vitro against . Trichoderma harzianum most effective agent inhibiting mycelial growth F. (82.62%). Carbendazim 50 WP fungicide (91.06%). at rate 0.1% T. concentration 10 9 cfu when used seed treatment under field conditions were...
Purpose Snack industry is one of the fastest growing food sectors globally, and people are nowadays conscious about intake healthy snacks on regular basis. There enormous variety ready-to-snacks available in market. Brown rice though highly nutritious comparison to polished consumed meagerly by masses. Each raw material/ingredient used extrusion cooking requires specific control processing variables meet acceptable product characteristics consumer demands, which turn necessitates need...
