This study was carried out as a prerequisite to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Camellia varieties. The crude extracts of six different plants of green tea Camellia assamica and Camellia sinensis were tested against three Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria using agar disk diffusion method at 50 mg/ml concentration. 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and dip...

This study aimed to test multidrug resistant isolates from hospitalised green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and their environment in North Queensland, Australia, for in vitro susceptibility to bacteriophages. Seventy-one Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from green turtle eye swabs and water samples. Broth microdilution tests were used to determine antibiotic susceptibility. All isolates were res...

Rhizobium strains nodulating green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] were found to produce bacteriocin on modified Bergersen's medium and inhibited the growth of homologous Rhizobium strains. Four bacteriocin producing and four bacteriocin non-producing strains were compared for their effect on nodulation, in planta nitrogenase activity and plant dry weight of green gram. The bacteriocin produc...

Materials that are functionally graded and have a layered structure made of nickel aluminum were fabricated by powder metallurgy procedure. Al/Ni FGM consist five layers. The material sample starts with pure ends nickel. the layers (25 Ni-75Al) %, (50 Ni-50 Al) % (75 Ni-25Al) %. Samples sintered at temperature 600° C. Apparent density, green porosity, shrinkage each layer measured.

REEN gram (Phaseohs aureus) and ,black gram (Ph. mungo) are two important legumes of India and Far East, which are grown principally for their protein rich seeds. Evidence suggests their origin in north eastern India, where most of the wild Phaseolus are small seeded. Inheritance of seed size was studied in crosses among the small, medium and the big-seeded agricultural varieties of green gram ...

The effect of cadmium chloride on green gram (Vigna radiata Linn.) was studied using the parameters like carbohydrates, protein, chlorophyll and oxidative enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase of leaves inorder to know the possible involvement of cadmium metal in the generation of oxidative stress. Results obtained in this work showed that the application of cadmium decreas...

Automated food processing and evaluation is considered a significant research area in computer vision. The development of automated cooking and food serving by robots is envisaged as part of automated food processing and temperature plays a major role in cooking Indian foods. The delicious Indian foods are generally boiled or fried with other ingredients. The boiled grains like Bengal Gram, Bla...

Green leafy vegetables (spinach and bathua) and pulses (green pea and bengal gram) are widely consumed and hold an important place in the diet of people of India. Vegetarians who consume a greater amount of vegetables will have a higher intake of oxalate, which may reduce calcium availability. The objectives of this present research were to investigate the effect of different domestic cooking a...

A 2-gram fresh weight inoculum of bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss. culture BG970) cell suspension culture treated with 7.5 x 10(-5) molar abscisic acid (ABA) for 7 days at 25 degrees C survived slow cooling to -60 degrees C. Over 80% of the cells in ABA treated cultures survived immersion in liquid N(2) after slow cooling to -40 or -60 degrees C. In contrast, a 6-gram fresh weight inoculum onl...

Abstract—In the present study an attempt has been made to reengineer traditional wadi into wholesome ready-to-use cereal-pulsebased chunks rich in protein quality and fibre content. Chunks were made using extrusion-dehydration combination. Two formulations i.e., whole green gram dhal with instant oats and washed green gram dhal with whole oats were formulated. These chunks are versatile in natu...
