Experimental Study to Improve the Quality of Dehydrated Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
Abstract: Mushrooms are popular for their delicacy and flavour rather than food value. However, it is well established fact that they are excellent sources of minerals and vitamins such as B-complex and vitamin C. In addition, mushrooms contain 1.1–8.2% lipids, 4.0–8.1% carbohydrates and 3–32% fibers on dry weight basis. It contains about 90% moisture. The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of 10 min dipping or vacuum infusion pretreatments …

Rust Resistance in Hexaploid Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell)
Abstract: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Em Thell) is the ‘golden grain’ of the cereals and plays a vital role in the contribution of global food. Wheat yield in India grew at a rate of 3.5% during 1940–82 and had a sudden decline during the next two decades to 2.9%. This decline can be attributed due to: (1) lack of improvement in the genetic yield potential, and (2) susceptibility to diseases. The …

Heat induced changes in casein
Abstract: In current times, dairy sectors involve milk being always subjected to heat treatment; main examples are: high temperature-short time (72 ˚C × 15 sec) pasteurization, low temperature-long time pasteurization (65 ˚C × 30 min), ultra-high temperature sterilization (140 ˚C × 5 sec), thermization (65 ˚C × 15 sec), in-container sterilization (112 ˚C × 15 min). Calcium chelators are, however, capable of increasing the heat stability of milk. Milk is considered …
