Abstract A reliable and accurate diagnosis identification system is required to prevent manage tea leaf diseases. Tea diseases are detected manually, increasing time affecting yield quality productivity. This study aims present an artificial intelligence-based solution the problem of disease detection by training fastest single-stage object model, YOLOv7, on diseased dataset collected from four prominent gardens in Bangladesh. 4000 digital images five types these gardens, generating a...

The study aimed to identify different molds that grow on various food surfaces. As a result, we conducted case for the detection of mold surfaces based "you only look once (YOLO) v5" principle. In this context, dataset 2050 images with growing their was created. Images were obtained from our own laboratory (850 images) as well internet (1200 images). trained using pre-trained YOLOv5 algorithm. A test also performed confirm grown organisms mold. comparison YOLOv3 and YOLOv4, current model had...

The COVID-19, also known as a coronavirus, is currently wreaking havoc on livelihood, food security, and nutrition security around the world. In developing countries like Bangladesh situation far worse. purpose of this perspective to highlight current state changes in context COVID-19. During COVID-19 period, income certain set people fell, which may have contributed growth poverty rate. It had an impact agro-food systems, supply-value chain, market levels result lockdown, movement social...

In Bangladesh, with the mounting esteem of bakery products, food safety issues in industries are a paramount concern nowadays. this regard, current study was performed to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and self-reported practices two groups (160 trained 55 new untrained) workers from popular baking Dhaka, Bangladesh. A self-administrated questionnaire used acquire data during study. On practices, workers' scores (33.01 ± 0.09, 14.86 0.03, 10.66 0.25, respectively) were significantly higher...

Soybean (Glycine max) is a superior plant food known as the miracle golden bean due to its treasure trove of inexpensive and protein high-priced meat protein. Tofu typically thought salt or acid-coagulated water-based gel containing soy lipids proteins trapped within networks. Sprouted tofu easier digest contains more nutrients than regular tofu. The purpose this study was evaluate nutritional sensory quality concerned with preparation from non-germinated germinated soybeans 0 (T0), 2 (T1),...

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...

This study proposes a novel OCR system for the Syloti Nagri script, addressing complexities of segmenting and classifying its unique characters. Given limited annotated data intricate structures, tri-level segmentation approach was applied, involving line, word, character segmentation. Deep learning models-VGG16, VGG-19, ResNet-50, MobileNet-v3, Xception, were evaluated, with VGG-19 achieving highest scores in accuracy, precision, recall, F1 metrics. The process attained 98% accuracy word...

Honey, a valuable and globally consumed food product, has significant market potential linked to its origin. However, authenticating honey is challenging due sophisticated adulteration techniques. This current research introduces an innovative approach employing YOLOv7, cutting-edge object detection model, detect classify pollens, thereby bolstering the authentication of honey. Our methodology involved creating data set comprising three well-known varieties (Sundarban, Litchi, Mustard),...

The research was conducted with the production of pectinase enzyme by fungal fermentation using Rhizopus oryzae and characterization produced respect to pH, temperature, incubation time, substrate specificity. Carbon source optimized replacing sugar different concentration pectin (0.5, 0.75, 1.0%) during submerged fermentation. outcomes process showed that media containing carbon 1% replaced dextrose at pH 6.0 incubating for 72 hours 35 °C were best condition production. maximal activity...

Introduction. High fiber bakery products can be a healthy snack option for consumers. Our study focused on the effect of replacing wheat flour with okara physicochemical, nutritional, textural, and sensory attributes biscuits.
 Study objects methods. We used 2, 4, 6, 8% w/w to prepare biscuits. Refined (control), mixed (okara flour), dough, biscuits were assessed nutritional properties, as well characteristics. The volume particles was higher in (145 μm) compared refined (91 μm).

The Rohingya refugee population in Bangladesh has become more vulnerable to COVID-19 because of their living and environmental conditions. aim the study was represent an assessment people's COVID-19-related knowledge, attitude, practices (KAP) at eight camps Cox's Bazar.Cross-sectional study.This completed with a total 400 responses between July September 2020. A questionnaire created assess demographic characteristics (5 items), knowledge (10 attitude information sources (1 item). Aside...

The study aims to provide technical information on the development and application of hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) in one popular cake manufacturing companies Dhaka, Bangladesh. A generic HACCP plan accordance with legal requirements was created after a detailed data collected from company. Every step production process examined for biological, chemical, physical hazards. prerequisite program designed address some hazards prior production, thereby simplifying plan. were...

It is believed that preventive safety measures are the most effective way to avoid COVID-19. The adherence of workers these largely determined by their knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP). Because they in close proximity consumable items, food industry must be especially vigilant during this period. purpose present study was evaluate COVID-19 attitudes, handlers different industries Bangladesh.

Abstract Edible coatings for fruits and vegetables are the subject of intensive agro-based research. These provide value to product due their multifunctionality sustainability. The current study focuses on development evaluation plant-based edible active Jara lebu ( Citrus medica ), with aim determining effectiveness these in extending shelf-life preserving quality attributes. Different blends corn starch various plant extracts were formulated all formulations applied by immersion onto fruit...

Quality parameters of okara flour (OF), refined wheat (WF), and donuts incorporated with dietary fiber (DF, extracted from okara) OF were assessed. Analysis revealed that contained significantly (p < .05) higher amount protein (30.70 vs. 12.52%), fat (9.20 0.80%), ash (3.40 0.56%), DF (40.43 0.45%) than WF. Moisture content, protein, ash, weight in OF-donuts; whereas height, fiber, moisture loss, oil uptake DF-donuts. Incorporation 5% 10% formulation increased the to 16.25% 15.11%,...
