ABSTRACT: Consumers are becoming increasingly interested in healthful foods and open to soy protein ingredients. Soybeans as food very versatile a rich source of essential nutrients. They also an excellent good‐quality protein, comparable other foods, suitable for all ages. Adverse nutritional undesirable effects followed by the consumption raw soybean meal have been attributed presence endogenous inhibitors digestive enzymes lectins, well poor digestibility. To improve quality lectins...
<p>Flavonoids are natural antioxidants derived from plant pigments and commonly found in agricultural produce such as fruits, vegetables, also beverages like tea wine. Quercetin is the most important flavonoid which belongs to class of flavonol. a vital biologically active compound, present many products, onion (<em>Allium cepa</em>), black (<em>Camellia sinensis</em>), Broccoli (<em>Brassica oleracea</em> var<em>. italic</em>), red wine...
Summary Tender coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.) Nannari extract (Hemidesmus indicus ready-to serve (RTS) blended beverage were optimised. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the levels of independent variables (levels tender water, nannari and sugar). The responses pH, oBrix, CIE colour (L*, a* b*) value OAA studied. data obtained analysed by multiple regression technique generate suitable mathematical models. developed processed using pulsed electric field (PEF)...

The rheological parameter shear stress was measured up to the rate of 750 s -1 using co-axial cylinder attachment at wide range temperatures from 10 70 °C. investigation showed that pulsed electric field (PEF) processed and thermally pasteurised mango nectar behaved like a pseudo plastic (shear thinning) fluid obeyed Herschel-Bulkley model (0.9780 0.893, p < 0.05) flow activation energy (Ea) significantly (p affected by processing conditions. results indicated thermal condition...
The northeastern part of India is one the biodiversity hotspots having a wide variety flora and fauna. High humidity during monsoon provides ideal conditions for growth diverse group macrofungi. Mizoram states which has large number edible non-edible mushroom species. Wild mushrooms are an important food source rural communities provide additional income to households if sold in regional markets. key objective this study was explore macrofungal diversity, its richness with aim preparing...
