The current study aims to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of selected banana genotypes Nagaland. Ten were collected from farmer’s field and fruits analyzed for TSS, acidity, total sugar, reducing TSS/Acid ratio, crude protein carotenoids. All analysis was done in randomized block design with three replication. In order obtain suitable interpretation generated data subjected statis...

This study evaluated the effects of sodium chloride reduction and replacement with potassium chloride or modified potassium chloride based salts using a weight or molar equivalent basis on the sensory and physico-chemical properties of pork sausage patties. Three independent replications of pork sausage patties were manufactured to compare five treatments: full sodium, reduced sodium, modified ...

The present study evaluated the ground water quality and physico-chemical characteristics of the water samples collected from 15 bore wells in the study area which is situated in Rangappa Layout which is located in the Ittamadgu Village of Uttarahalli Hobli which falls in the Bangalore South taluk of the Bangalore Urban district. Physico-chemical characteristics of the collected water samples, ...

In the present study, the effects of substituting sucrose with maltitol and xylitol as bulking agents in compound milk chocolate were examined in relation to their physico-chemical, rheological and sensory characteristics. Standard reference chocolate was made using sucrose. The Casson mathematical model was the best fitting model for predicting rheological properties. Compared with chocolate s...

The study was conducted to study the effect of age viz., young (6-9 months) and adult (2 years) on physico-chemical characteristics, proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid and cholesterol content of Kodiadu goat meat. The Longissimus dorsi muscle was collected from these animals and the physico-chemical characteristics viz., pH, water holding capacity, instrumental colour, muscle fi bre ...

Nanocrystalline apatites analogous to bone mineral are very promising materials for the preparation of highly bioactive ceramics due to their unique intrinsic physico-chemical characteristics. Their surface reactivity is indeed linked to the presence of a metastable hydrated layer on the surface of the nanocrystals. Yet the sintering of such apatites by conventional techniques, at high temperat...

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition physico-chemical properties, fatty acid and tocopherol compositions and total phenolic compounds and evaluate the radical-scavenging activity of crude oil extracted from passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) seeds, aiming to use the agro-industrial by-products. The oil seed extraction was performed by Soxhlet method and t...
