Using Lemongrass in Functional Food Production

Production of Biogas by Using Food Waste

The current work focuses on the generating bio-gas from food waste produced by Mahendra Engineering College Canteen using anaerobic digestion process. Attempts have been made to optimize various parameters in order to determine the most favorable recipe for maximum biogas production from the digested food waste. The biogas yields have been determined using batch anaerobic thermophilic digestion...

Designing Novel Functional Food Using Gas Chromatography

Biofuels versus food production: Does biofuels production increase food prices?

Rapidly growing fossil energy consumption in the transport sector in the last two centuries caused problems such as increasing greenhouse gas emissions, growing energy dependency and supply insecurity. One approach to solve these problems could be to increase the use of biofuels. Preferred feedstocks for current 1st generation biofuels production are corn, wheat, sugarcane, soybean, rapeseed an...

Functional food for functional disorders

Unexplained hypersensitivity to food is a major health problem affecting about 10% of the population, and is often associated with disabling symptoms, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), musculoskeletal pain (fibromyalgia) and fatigue (chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis; CFS/ME). Recent metabolomic studies suggest a hypometabolic state with excessive oxidative stress, impair...

Food Safety in Animal Production

Air pollution has been one of Europe’s main political concerns since the late 1970’s. The aim of EU-policy is to develop and implement appropriate instruments to improve air quality. The Sixth Environment Action Programme, “Environment 2010: Our future, Our Choice” regards the period from 2001 until 2010. One of the important issues of the EAP is the reduction of greenhouse gasses. This also su...
