Driving Safety Performance and Business Resilience in India’s Agro and Food-Processing Industries: Integrating Safety Culture, Behaviors-Based Safety and Proactive Risk Management
Abstract: Food-processing safety depends on more than machinery safeguards, statutory compliance and written procedures. It is also shaped by leadership priorities, worker participation, supervisory practice, reporting climate and everyday decisions at the point of work. Behaviors-Based Safety (BBS) offers a structured means of observing critical behaviors, providing feedback and generating operational learning, but it can become counterproductive when it individualizes blame or substitutes for engineering and process-safety controls. This conceptual review …

Proximate Composition of Maize-Soya Bean Flour Blends and Sensory Attributes of Snacks Obtained from the Blends
Abstract: The research was designed to develop and evaluate the proximate composition of maize- soybean flour blends and the sensory attributes of two maize-based traditional snacks i.e. aadun and kokoro fortified with soybeans. Processed soybean flour was combined with maize flour at 0%, 20%, 25% and 50% respectively to make aadun and kokoro. Proximate composition of maize-soybeans flour blends was investigated. The sensory attributes of aadun and kokoro produced from the …

Evaluation of Nutritional Status of Maize Fermented Meal by supplementation with Chickpea Silte Zone, SNNPR
Abstract: This study compared several treatments, processing techniques, and supplementation amounts in order to produce an optimal home scale level approach for the production of fermented maize meal (ambasha) with chickpea flour supplementation. It was examined how adding chickpea protein at replacement levels of 0, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% affected the rate of fermentation and organoleptic product quality in traditional foods made from maize. The quality was determined by sensory …

Alcohol Production from Pre-treated Maize and Paddy Lignocellulose Biomass in a Fabricated Unit
Abstract: An alcohol production unit was fabricated to handle 5 kg biomass per batch of paddy straw or maize stalk hydrolysis and fermentation. Various lignocellulose treatments were repeated from a previously reported study on paddy straw to compare it to that of maize stalk as a substrate biomass in a fabricated unit [1]. The pre-treatments to these lignocellulosic biomasses from maize stalk (MS) and paddy straw (MS) were compared after their …

Utilization of kairomones to reduce the use of pesticides on Zea Mays crops
Abstract: Plant-derived kairomones represent a critical yet under- explored class of allelochemicals that orchestrate complex communication within maize-based intercropping systems. Beyond their role as simple signalling molecules, these compounds act as key determinants in the rhizosphere, influencing the recruitment of beneficial soil microbiota, modulating nutrient bioavailability, and enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. primary objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the biochemical pathways and …

Fabrication and Characterization of PLA-CSP Composites via FDM for Biodegradable Food Packaging
Abstract: In light of the growing need for environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastic packaging, this study presents the design of a food-grade, biocompatible packaging material composed of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and packed with coconut shell powder (CSP). One of the most well-known thermoplastic polymers, PLA is produced from renewable resources like sugarcane or maize starch. Its nontoxicity, biodegradability, and adherence to food safety standards and regulations provide energy. Unfortunately, PLA's …
