Preparation of petha from pointed gourd () mediated by osmotic dehydration and its characterization.

Unlabelled: The subject of investigation in this research was the preparation of pointed gourd () petha using osmotic dehydration. The primary objective of this study was to explore the use of osmotic dehydration as a method for the preparation of petha from pointed gourd. The process entails using sugar as an osmotic agent for the peeled and deseeded pointed gourd, subjecting it to different temperature conditions (60˚C and 70˚C) in tray dryer.

Insights into the interface of NiCoO spinel /LaCoO perovskite nano-composite for CO and soot oxidation.

In the quest for the development of thermally stable, highly active and low-cost catalysts for use in catalyzed diesel particulate filter, nano-composites are new areas of research. Therefore, we reported the easy synthesis of spinel NiCoO/perovskite LaCoO nano-composite, and its individual oxides NiCoO and LaCoO for comparison. The detailed insights into the physio-chemical characteristics of formed NiCoO/ LaCoO nano-composite were done based on various characterization analysis such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), N physiosorption, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Physico-chemical properties of ultrafiltered kinnow (mandarin) fruit juice.

Kinnow fruit juice was clarified with ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane module with cross flow. The surface modified polysulfone based membrane having MWCO 10, 30 and 44 kDa (three cartridges) were used in these studies. The transmembrane pressure drop, cross flow rate and operating condition effects on the quality of the juice have been analyzed.

Do socio-demographic factors still predict the choice of place of delivery: A cross-sectional study in rural North India.

Improving maternal health is one of the goals to be achieved under the Millennium Development Goal (MDG), especially MDG-5. One of the predictors of maternal health is place of child birth. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of home delivery and different socio-demographic factors associated with them.

Osmotic dehydration of fruits and vegetables: a review.

The main cause of perishability of fruits and vegetables are their high water content. To increase the shelf life of these fruits and vegetables many methods or combination of methods had been tried. Osmotic dehydration is one of the best and suitable method to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

Spray drying of fruit and vegetable juices--a review.

The main cause of spray drying is to increase the shelf life and easy handling of juices. In the present paper, the studies carried out so far on spray drying of various fruits and vegetables are reported. The major fruit juices dried are mango, banana, orange, guava, bayberry, watermelon, pineapple, etc.
