Development and Quality Evaluation of Probiotic Honey Beverage
Abstract
The study was carried out with the objective to develop a probiotic honey beverage and ascertain its quality, viable count and shelf life. Lactobacillus acidophilus was used as the probiotic organism. Sensory characteristics, nutrient profile, chemical composition and shelf life of the product were investigated. The optimization of ingredients or product standardisation is based on the sensory quality evaluation. Fermentation time using 1% inoculum Lactobacillus acidophilus was optimized based on the sensory quality evaluation, nutrient and chemical constituents and viable count. The 25:10:25:40 blend ratio of honey, Aloevera pulp, soyamilk and water fermented for 6 hours give highest scores for overall acceptability and viable count of more than 10 9 cfu/ml. Probiotic beverage was superior to non probiotic beverage in all the aspects such as sensory, nutritional and chemical constituents. The probiotic beverage has a shelf life of fifteen days under refrigerated condition.

Effect of storage conditions and storage period on seed germination and viability of Verbena hybrida
Abstract
The seeds of Verbena hybrida were kept at three storage chambers viz., ambient storage, cold storage (0-40 C and 90 2.7% RH) and incubator (20-22 0C and 75 1.5% RH) after packing in five different packaging (cloth bag in desiccator, poly set bin, polyethylene bag (600 gauze), cloth bag and aluminum foil pack for a period of 18 months. The cold storage resulted in highest germination (23.39%) and aluminum foil packaging gave the maximum germination (22.24%), followed by desiccator (22.18%) irrespective of storage temperature at the end of storage period. The cold store maintained the maximum seed viability (32.30%) and desiccator recorded the highest viability (28.48%). The highest viability was obtained in desiccator (36.24%) in cold store followed by aluminum foil (34.30%).

Fatty acid profile of chicken meat under different system of rearing
Abstract
An experiment was carried out to compare the fatty acid profile of breast, thigh meat and skin from broiler (cobb), native chicken reared under intensive and free range systems. Saturated fatty acid contents were high in free range native chicken, while monounsaturated fatty acid contents were numerically higher in commercial broiler meat. Total n-3 fatty acids were significantly (P≤0.05) higher in breast and thigh meat of commercial broilers over native chicken reared under both free range and intensive systems, due to dietary fat inclusion in broiler rations.

Fatty acid profile of water chestnut flour and effect on dough rheology & cookies of wheat flour
Abstract
The proximate physico-chemical composition and fatty acid profile of water chestnut were studied. The content of unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid was significant to the extent of 67.5%; whereas the saturated fatty acids were low to the extent of 30.65% comprising of palmitic acid (21.95%), stearic acid (4.87%). The major fatty acids are linoleic, oleic and palmitic; these accounted for more than 85% of the total fatty acid content. The total essential fatty acids were found to the extent of 35%.The effect of water chestnut on wheat flour dough rheology with respect to farinograph and extensograph were evaluated for water absorption, dough stability, dough development time. The cookies were prepared with the blends of wheat flour and water chestnut flour evaluated for their textural and sensory characteristics which were found to be more acceptable in the 20% blend of water chestnut flour to that of wheat flour.

A Comparative Evaluation of the activities of a leguminous and non-leguminous rhizoflora and non rhizosphere microflora
Abstract
Soil is the best environment for the growth of so many microbes. Of these some are seen colonized in the rhizosperic region of plants. This happens in response to the exudates of plant roots. The organisms are generally called rhizoflora. These rhizoflora are beneficial to the plants by secreting various Plant Growth Promoting substances. Hence they are called Plant Growth Promoting Rhizoflora (PGPR). PGPR also induce resistance in host plants by the production of antibiotics, by the production of compounds called siderophores etc. This compound also helps the host plants to absorb iron. Thus it helps plant to increase their growth and control plant pathogens. This study was conducted for comparing the activities of rhizoflora of a leguminous and a non-leguminous plant with a non-rhizosperic soil sample. From the microbes islated from the said sources, a total of 24 isolates (7 from leguminous rhizoflora, 10 from non-leguminous rhizoflora and 7 from non-rhizosperic soil) were taken for screening of the activities mentioned. Two colonies isolated from leguminous rhizosphere and one colony isolated from non-leguminous rhizosphere showed anti-microbial activity. Only a single culture, that too from leguminous rhizosphere showed siderophore production. And regarding phosphate solubilization, 6 isolates from leguminous rhizosphere, 3 from non-leguminous rhizosphere and 3 from non-rhizosphere showed positive activity.

Exploration through GIS for mapping Soil nutrient status of semi dry rice growing area of Ramnad District,TamilNadu,India
Abstract
A soil survey was carried out using global positioning system (GPS) and mapped in GIS environment and the soils were characterized. Spatial distribution of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon and micro nutrients status were studied from 43 sites representing intensively direct seeding rice growing soils. . It could be understood that out of 2, 06,290 ha about 54.42% alone could be considered as normal soil, 29.28% as moderately acidic and 12.40% as moderately alkaline soil types. The soils were shallow to deep, dark yellowish brown to dark grayish brown, excessive to poorly drained, low in available nitrogen, low to medium in available phosphorus and medium to high in available potassium Micro nutrient status presented that shows that in general soil status is low in zinc, iron and boron. There is an immediate need to alleviate the problem in related with soil such as the low organic matter content, low in zinc and Fe content of the soil and seasonal defects low rainfall, early drought and late rainfall, water logging, sodic and alkaline soil & non-availability of suitable crop varieties to meet the local situations. On the basis of the major constraints, appropriate practices were suggested to Ramnad district farmers for their sustainable management.

The micro world of microRNA -Review article
Abstract
According to the Central Dogma, information from DNA flows to protein through RNA. The decoded gene product determines the phenotype of an organism. The gene expression is regulated mainly at transcriptional and translational level. Double stranded RNA molecules are capable of activating a set of RNase III endonucleases influencing gene expression by down regulating corresponding genes through RNA interference (RNAi) pathway.
Double stranded RNAs that can induce RNAi pathway falls mainly under 2 categories: miRNAs (endogenous) and siRNAs (exogenous like virus or endogenous retrotransposons). miRNAs are small approximately 22 nucleotide long molecules that carries out transcriptional and post transcriptional regulation of gene expression. miRNA have regulatory roles in developmental timing, patterning, embryogenesis, cell differentiation, organogenesis, stem cell and germline proliferation, growth control, apoptosis, endocrine function fat metabolism in flies (Long et al., 2007; Brennecke et al., 2003; Xu et al., 2003), neuronal patterning, modulation of haematopoetic lineage differentiation in mammals (Chen et al.,2004), control of leaf and flower differentiation in plants ( Aukerman and Sakai, 2003).
