An attempt was made to determine the qualitative changes in basmati rice (Pusa Basmati 1121, PB1121) during soaking at 40 °C 80 °C. Soaking temperature had significant effect (α = 0.01) on chemical composition, glycemic index and starch characteristics of rice. Starch content, apparent amylose crude protein content fat un-soaked were found be 73.24%, 27.26%, 8.79% 2.56%, respectively, but differences these traits observed after soaking. Amylose amylopectin ratio (Am/Ap) decreased from 0.59...

Response surface methodology was used to assess the effect of soya level (10-30%), feed moisture content (12-20% w.b.), barrel temperature (110-150°C) and screw speed (250-450 rpm) on trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA),phytic acid (PA) tannin sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]-soya blends. Results showed that incorporation soybean [Glycine max Merr.] increased antinutritional factors in formulation butextrusion cooking considerably reduced these extruded snack. The extent reduction being...

The knitting of information and modern electronic technology with agricultural production system to determine, analyze manage the critical temporal spatial factors farm for maximizing profitability, sustainability environmental protection is need hour. In this context, robot (Arial, Ground Under-water) can play an important role. Aerial Robot also commonly known as Unmanned Vehicle (UAV) or Drone. It may be boon management it focus on small crop fields at lower flight altitudes than other...

The small and marginal farmers in India are 83% with land holding of 46.1% contribution 51.2% the production. On Indian farms, knapsack sprayers very commonly used by for pest control because affordability ease operation but lower outputs. An attempt was made to develop a solar powered sprayer which had higher output (0.3 ha/hr) physiological energy consumption discomfort. electronic been embedded protection against deep discharge over charging battery longer operational life. system could...

The enhanced laboratory and field emergence characteristics of osmo- halo-primed tomato seeds (cv. Pusa Ruby) were related to changes in hydration–dehydration kinetics, modified sorption properties nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation behaviour humidified imbibed seeds. Water isotherms constructed for primed unprimed by equilibrating different water activities ( a w ) at 25°C. Analysis the D'Arcy–Watt equation revealed that priming reduced number strong binding sites associated...

Background:The study aimed to prepare cookies with high-quality ingredients which are a rich source of nutrition and have good shelf life.The proposed healthy composition by incorporating antioxidant-rich green tea while replacing usual principal like all-purpose flour cereals Pearl Millet (Bajra) oats substituting unhealthy refined sugar powdered jaggery.The thus evaluated the health benefits based on their nutritional value sensory analysis. Method Materials:Cookies composed five different...

The present study was carried out to determine the physical as well physiological properties of three fresh pea seed lots (cv.Arkel) with moisture content and germination percentage varying from 14.94% 28.04% dry basis 80% 60% respectively.This variation in parameters obtained using accelerated aging (40C 100% RH).The geometric (spatial dimensions, sphericity surface area), gravimetric (terminal velocity, true density, test weight, bulk density porosity), frictional (angle repose,...

Harvested grain mass contains various impurities that need to be removed before further processing. A solar powered screen cleaner was designed, fabricated and tested for separating from soybean, lentil chickpea grains. The machine consists of frame, feeding chute, cradle, discharge outlets, drive unit. angle tilt the sieve varied between 3 8° while hanger maintained at 5°. Operating parameters such as cradle angle, oscillation feed rate were optimized optimum performance achieved a 50, 3.6...

Chickpea is an important pulse crop of Indian sub continent, but with low productivity. Non-availability quality seeds one the major reasons for productivitiy. Being dicotyledonous and germ tip being located at protruding structure, are prone to mechanical injuries during threshing. A study was conducted investigate effect machine parameters on threshing chickpea seed crop. The type element, cylinder speed feed rate had significant threshed as well performance thresher. Teflon coated iron...

A solar-powered vending cart was designed and developed for storage of fruits vegetables. It tested its performance during summer season. The minimum maximum drop in temperature ranged between 8.1°C 11.2°C, the increase relative humidity observed to be up 15% 25% inside card chamber June. requirement water 16.5 20.0 litre/day. There considerable effect on physiological loss weight different vegetables kept either or outside mobile chamber. freshness shelflife increased substantially after cart.

Drying seeds and maintaining low seed moisture content is critical in hot humid climatic conditions with conventional drying method. In this study Zeolite beads which are inert adsorbent materials have been used for tomato onion seeds. Response Surface Methodology was employed to optimize the parameters of cv. Pusa Ruby Nasik Dark Red Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD). The effect initial content, residence time seed-bead ratio on final germination percentage vigour determined. Five...

This paper attempts to examine the potential and utilisation of solar power with a special focus on powered irrigation system in India. The capacity has mostly concentrated Southern Western states but most have not attained their potential. Installation pump state central financial support is impressive like Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh Andhra Pradesh. Further, life cycle cost photovoltaic (SPV) water diesel was calculated based field survey data collected during 2019 from three districts capital...

Weeding is carried out by women farm workers with hand tools and most of these are operated in squatting or bending posture. These essentially designed for male workers. One the common tool used weeding wheel hoe. Therefore, ergonomic assessments an existing hoe design modification were done to make it compatible The was ergonomically evaluated physiological postural parameters. Mismatches observed between required energy sustainable output dimensions anthropometric measurements female...

Stock price is an entirely capricious area of money, that includes enormous number financial backers, purchasers, and dealers. Consistent varieties in stock monetary business sectors add vulnerability to the making forecasting intricate interaction. On account these highlights, information should have a fierce design frequently makes it hard track down dependable models. The expectation has been peculiarity since AI was presented. costs are not haphazardly produced values rather they can be...

Nowadays recommendation systems have become significant as it supports e-commerce applications and many research communities. Recommendation are used in the field of knowledge discovery techniques search engines. It helps decision making on personalized information. There key challenges to a system which arises due huge growth data internet well no users visiting websites. Some generating accurate recommendation, manipulating recommendations efficiently Hence, new technologies required that...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important nutritious grains which have high moisture content during harvest. Moisture 24-25% (db) at harvest has to be reduced below 14% prevent its deterioration storage. Drying process generally performed by forced convection heating ambient air and blowing it over dried. The aim certain temperature reduce relative humidity air, a positive effect on drying potential. In this study, behaviour thin layer maize for different temperatures (40, 50, 60...
