The objective of this study was the develop of fortified cookies enriched with oats flour and bitter gourd powder and monitoring the effects of these enrichments on the physicochemical, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sensory attributes. This study was subjected to four treatments: control (0% oats flour and bitter gourd powder), T1 (10% oats flour...

The increasing environmental issues associated with plastic waste have sparked a heightened interest in the creation of biodegradable alternatives derived from renewable resources. One notable option is biodegradable film made from banana peels, which presents an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. This review examines the viability...

Coconut is cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas across the globe because of its diverse applications, particularly in terms of its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. In order to enhance the shelf life of coconut meat while maintaining its quality, it must be pre-processed. The research aimed to determine the physicochemical constituents,...

The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatments and storage conditions in the regulation of the physicochemical and bioactive properties of mango fruits (Mangifera indica L. cv. BARI-4) were investigated during storage. Different concentrations of 1-MCP treated samples (T0 = Control, T1 = 0.5 μL/L, T2 = 1.0 μL/L, T3 = 1.5 μL/L, and T4 = 2.0 μ...

Papaya fruits different edible and non-edible portions are valued for the abundance of numerous nutrients and therapeutic benefits. The study was aimed to examine the physico-chemical properties, bioactive compounds (total phenolics and total flavonoids), antioxidant activity and microstructure analysis of the peel, pulp and seed flour of both ripe...

The research was conducted to evaluate the effect of thermal (Hot Water) and non-thermal (Ultrasound) pretreatments on the changes of physical and nutritional quality attributes, and marketability of the green chili stored at chilling condition. Freshly harvested green chili was pretreated with hot water, ultrasound and Control (Untreated) respecti...

Our goal making a sound detector sensor is to enable the detection, measurement, and analysis of sound waves in various applications, contributing to safety, convenience and research by using LM741C Op-amp. In this project when any anonymous sound occurs in 6-meter radius then the Buzzer will ''beep". That means we make a sound sensor which can det...

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the reusability of edible oils and to find which temperature the refined oils could be used for cooking purposes. Study Design: The study followed a completely randomized design (CRD). Processing Technology and its corresponding laboratory on Jashore University of Science and Technology, Jashore, Bangla...

The objectives of this study was to investigate how three types of solvent (ethanol, methanol, and acetone) affected the yield of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC) and DPPH radical scavenging activity of extracts from lotkon and longan peels. The results showed that the 50% methanol extracts for longan peel displayed the...

It has become necessary to assess how food processing methods affect qualitative qualities due to the increased consumer awareness of the health benefits of various nutrients in food. In the current study, the effects of ultrasound treatment (37˚C, 5 min), pasteurization (90˚C, 5 min), and their combination on quality parameters, including pH, tota...

In the world, over the last 50 years, many rivers had experienced decreasing trend in runoff and sediment load. In Subarnarekha, after analysing the data of discharge, runoff and sediment load of hydrological stations, it is clear that Subarnarekha also has declining trend. In the last few decades, precipitation rate has also declined day by day. I...

The experiment was concerned with developing of Lychee pulpy drinks to assess its prospect in respect to its marketability and food value. The fruits were collected and the pulp was extracted. Then the pulp was analyzed for proximate composition. Lychee pulpy drinks were prepared, analyzed the changes of TSS (Total soluble solid), acidity, pH, visc...

Due to the rapid global expansion of the aquaculture industry, access to key feedstuffs (fishmeal and fish oil) is becoming increasingly limited because of the finite resources available for wild fish harvesting. This has resulted in other sources of feedstuffs being investigated, namely plant origin substitutes for fishmeal and fish oil for aquafe...
