The current study focused on quantifying hazardous heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Zn) in soil-rice systems near the Buriganga River Bangladesh to assess their impact human health environment. mean concentrations of As, Zn soil exceeded FAO/WHO acceptable limits, metal pollution index (MPI) indicated that all samples collected from rice fields were severely polluted (MPI˃30) than water grain samples. According sum (SPI) by studied metals, grains Kamrangirchor (29.36), Dhakauddan...
Vitamin-A deficiency associated with night blindness in children is a global health problem that could be prevented or reduced by promoting the intake of β-carotene food. The fortification yogurt using pumpkin flesh (PF) very cost-effective public intervention. current study aimed to analyze proximate, functional, microbial, textural, and sensory properties fortified PF evaluate its suitability as enriched research was conducted three treatments, control set-type (CSY) no PF, 15%...
The presence of toxic heavy metals in vegetables is a matter concern worldwide as they impose significant public health hazards. This study quantified such lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) widely consumed red amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus), radish leaf (Raphanus sativus), brinjal (Solanum melongena), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), carrot (Daucus carota), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) grown Savar industrial areas...
Citrus fruit peels are used as the primary source for pectin production, effectively transforming waste into a valuable resource and making significant contribution to fostering circular economy. This study aimed extract from locally available citrus fruits such Elephant Apple, inner peel (IP), outer (OP) of Pomelo. Pectin was extracted using acid hydrolysis sodium-hexa-meta-phosphate extraction, its physiochemical properties, including moisture, ash, methoxyl content, equivalent weight,...

The production of biscuits utilizing ripe banana peel flour (BPF) as a wheat (WF) alternative is presented in this study. Locally available Sabri was dried into cabinet dryer at 65⁰C for 8 hours. then turned powder and sieved. flours used the preparation were analyzed proximate composition. BPF contained higher amount fat compared to WF. Five samples S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 substituting WF with 0, 5, 10, 20, 30% standard prepared S1 denoted control sample adding no BPF. composition sensory...
The study was concerned with determining the drying kinetics and sorption behavior of two varieties ripe banana Bangladesh namely, Sagor Sabri. fresh collected from local market were sliced into three different thicknesses (4 mm, 6 mm 8 mm) dried at 45°C, 55°C 65°C in a cabinet dryer. result showed that rate increases increase temperature decreases slice thickness. properties studied over wide range water activity (0.11-0.93). BET GAB models fitted to data. It found both gave sigmoid (type...
Moisture sorption isotherms of commercial wheat flour, rice flour and corn were determined within the water activity range 0.11-0.93 at different temperatures (5°C, 30°C 55°C) using static gravimetric method. The moisture isotherm all flours exhibited type II characteristics according to BET classification. It was found that had a higher capacity than flour. Temperature influence on behavior that, for decreased with increase temperature, while an opposite observed value 0.75....
The moisture adsorption behavior is a fundamental knowledge in the processing and storage of food materials. In this paper, experimental wheat, rice corn flours were compared with five widely recommended models (BET, GAB, Oswin, Smith Halsey) literature. From sorption data, monolayer content estimated as per BET GAB models. For all flours, model gave higher compare to model. Linear regression analysis was done determine constants where using coefficient standard error estimate. It observed...
