Particle films: A new technology for plant protection and postharvest quality improvement in apple

In the recent years, a new technology has emerged to protect the fruit plants from insect pests and diseases and has become as an integral part of organic production system. This technology is called as Particle film technology. Particle films are

kaolin-based films which form a thin layer of mineral particles on the leaves and fruits. Several developed countries have commercialized several such films but no attempt has yet been made in India. Hence, of the several developed films, Surround and Raynoux were imported from USA and France, respectively and a systematic study was conducted on apple. Three sprays at fortnightly interval each of Surround (3%) and Raynaoux (3) were given on Royal Delicious apples trees; starting from 15th June, 2015. The results revealed that out of these films, surround-treated apples developed very good red color (Hunter ‘a’ value=52.4±0.2) than Raynoux treated or untreated (Control) fruits. The surround-treated apples matured about 5-day later but have better fruit firmness (28.8±0.23 N) and TSS (14.6±0.1%) than untreated fruits. Interestingly, the incidence of Sanjose scale (2.8±0.04%) and apple scab (2.2±0.04%) was drastically reduced by surround sprays but that of woolly apple aphid (8.6±0.2%) was increased over untreated fruits (7.8±0.2%). Raynox-treated apples exhibited low rates of respiration as well as ethylene evolution than surround-treated apples or those under control. Keeping quality of apples was influenced by particle films Raynoux-treated apples had higher stay at room temperature (38 days) than surround-treated apples (28 days) or untreated ones (21 days). During storage, ‘Raynoux’ as well as surround-treated apples have lower activities of LOX and PME than untreated apples. The incidence of bitter pit was significantly low (1.2±0.05% and 1.8±0.05%) in Raynoux and surround-treated apples over control. Thus, it can be concluded that this technology has great future as it can become an integral part of organic fruit production in India as well.

Post-harvest processing & management for improving food and nutrition security

The postharvest sector includes all points in the value chain from production in the field to the food being placed on a plate for consumption. This includes harvesting, handling, storage, processing, packaging, transportation and marketing. Main

concern is the post-harvest loss (PHL) which happens at every stage of the supply chain. Eliminating those losses is a way to increase food availability without requiring additional resources or placing additional burdens on the environment. The causes of PHL, which some estimates suggested could range from 15 to as high as 40 percent of production are manifold. Food losses contribute to high food prices by removing part of the supply from the market. One of the surest and arguably most affordable ways to feed more people sustainably is to ensure that the food already produced is not lost or wasted between the farm and table. There are a wide range of postharvest technologies that can be adopted to improve losses throughout the process of pre-harvest, harvest, cooling, temporary storage, transport, handling and market disbursement. Some of the novel thermal and non-thermal food processing techniques can be employed to ensure the food and nutritional security which ultimately have profound effect in post-harvest management. In addition, the fortification and value addition to food and food byproducts respectively can be employed to minimize the waste production. The joint venture between technological interventions and appropriate retail management approach is required to achieve the aforementioned task of post-harvest management and ensuring food and nutritional security.

Food for future through sustainable intensification of agriculture

Food for future demands addressing issues related to multiple dimensions of food security that include food availability; physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food and its proper utilization for an active and healthy life.

Based on FAO’s estimates, some food and nutritional facts at global level include 842 million people (2011-13) suffered from chronic hunger; over two billion people affected by micronutrient deficiencies or hidden hunger and 162 million children under five years of age chronically malnourished (stunted) while one in six under weight and one in four stunted. Food crisis and price rise like situation has arisen in many parts of the world including Sub Saharan Africa and Asia leading to hunger and hidden hunger. The key reasons for such a situation include consumption overtaking production; lower annual crop yield growth; poor investments in agriculture over a long period of time; inadequate and poor infrastructure and continued post harvest losses. At global level, demand for food is likely to increase due to population growth and stability in production. It could lead to increased mal and under nutrition problems in rural and urban poor. The situation can become complicated due to foreseen water and energy supply crunch; reducing per capita available land and other natural resources; emerging climate change and variability problems; uncertainty about biotic and abiotic stress coupled with its changing patterns and changing consumer/market preferences. Massive efforts are required at global, national and regional levels for sustainable intensification of agriculture for increasing production per unit area of land; reducing ‘yield gaps’ on underperforming lands or rain fed areas; increasing cropping efficiency especially in irrigated areas and hill regions; reducing natural resources loss; making efficient use of ecosystem services and ensuring safety to environment. At national level, efforts for sustainable intensification of agriculture require proper agro climatic and land use planning; increasing productivity of cereals (paddy, wheat, maize ) especially in irrigated areas; increasing productivity of coarse grains, local legumes/oilseeds and fodders especially in rain fed areas and hill regions; adoption of tested and validated technological interventions; natural resources conservation and their sustainable utilization; diversification with horticulture, live stock and other allied sectors; efficient post harvest management and storage; intelligent marketing efforts. Multi dimension challenges of food and nutrition security can best be addressed by developing and adopting holistic approach supported by appropriate public policies and strategic political interventions while considering use of best traditional wisdom and newer technologies; making sensible use of cutting edge sciences including biotechnology; judicial blending of traditional approaches with modern technologies; involvement of rural women and youth in time bound implementation of recommendations; careful monitoring of public distribution system through quantifiable measures, addressing needs of poor farmers and consumers, political commitment, effective governance systems and involvement of stakeholders in policy decisions and their implementation with transparency.

Maranta arundinacea-encouraging results with non-chemical (organic) farming techniques in village of Bhopal district, M.P. India: An effort through awareness and capacity buildingPadma HarshanSociety for Human Welfare & Environmental Furtherance, India

Despite much of the country practicing the traditional system of organic farming, the need of the hour is to vigorously disseminate the farmers the latest technological advancements for the non-food grain and high-value food commodities with support of

Government. Encouraging results during our experimentation period from year 2010 helped to propagate and bring awareness among the farmers of Phanda block of Bhopal district for Maranta arundinacea (arrowroot) an untapped plant of medicinal value. Arrowroot powder is a healthier alternative and the only starch product with calcium ash which is important for the maintenance of proper acid and alkali balances in the human body. It is the purest form of carbohydrates which is highly digestible making it a suitable ingredient in making infant foods and medicinal tablets. The flour can be seen as possible substitute for wheat flour too. The demonstration land was fully fertilized with all non-chemical methods of practices. During the year 2013 the production depicted from an area of about 18017 sq ft gave 739 kg of the rhizome with an average height of the plant as 42 cm and during the year 2014, an area of about 18000 sq ft gave a productivity of about 1381 kg with an average height of 55 cm during the growing stages. Assuming that productivity in one acre a production of about 1787 kg and 3342 kg respectively can be attained for the years considered. The revenue at an average Rs. 250/- per kg depicts an income of Rs. 446,858/- per acre (for 1787 kg) as additional remuneration for the small and marginal farmers.

Xanthan gum: Stabilizer and emulsifier for future in guava-watermelon blended squashJ ShankaraswamyAmity International Centre for Post Harvest Technology and Cold Chain Management, India

Guava fruit juices are pleasant when diluted with other tropical fruit juices due to its too acidic or strongly flavored and less colored nature, thus blending offers the opportunity to adjust sugar and acid ratios and eliminates some defects in juice quality

or nutritional attributes by proper combination of juices and further adjustments in ingredients and to provide texture, mouth feel of beverage by xanthan gum additive at various concentration standardized for storage stability. Guava-watermelon squash at different ratio (50:50, 75:25, 25:75) of pulp blending level containing 40˚Brix TSS and 1% of acidity were prepared with incorporation of different concentrations of xanthan gum, an exocellular polysaccharide produced by obligatory aerobic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris to investigate the effect on different ingredients in the product quality and stability during 180 days of storage. There were little changes in quality parameters, TSS, pH, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid during the storage and 0.5% w/w of xanthan gum gave stability to the product during storage. Blended guava-watermelon squash (75:25) having 0.3% of xanthan gum, 40˚Brix TSS, 1% acidity showed highest overall acceptability during the storage period with proper emulsification and storage stability

BiographyJ Shankaraswamy has completed his PhD from Junagadh Agricultural University and honored with Chancellor’s Gold Medal for his overall performance in early induction of flowering with excellent post harvest fruit quality attributes for processing and export in Kesar mango and he has completed his Master’s degree in post harvest technology of horticultural crops and he has contributed immensely in fruit and vegetable based blended beverages development.

NIRS based food quality assessment approaches for cereals, oilseeds, pulses, fruits and vegetablesRakesh Bhardwaj, Sangeeta Yadav and Poonam SunejaICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, India

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has played a significant role in quality control and monitoring of raw materials and finished products for the last 25 years. It is routinely used in agriculture and food industry for quality analysis of seeds,

flours, fruits, vegetables, beverages and many more. It is relatively inexpensive, rapid and non-destructive analytical method used for estimating several food constituents’ viz., moisture, protein, fat, sugars, starch, dietary fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, phenols, phytates, oxalates, organic acids etc. In our lab we have developed NIRS based prediction models of high precision for different agro-horticultural crop plants for multiple biochemical parameters. More than 5000 diverse germplasm accessions belonging to oilseeds (Brassica, safflower, sunflower, niger, linseed, soybean etc.), legumes (pea, cowpea, chickpea, pigeon pea, green gram, black gram, lentil etc.), cereals, pseudo cereals and millets (wheat, maize, barnyard milled, kodo millet, pearl millet, finger millet) and eggplant fruits have been scanned on Foss Tecator NIRS 6500 model. WINISI II software with regression method of Modified Partial Least Square was used with spectrum from 400-2500 nm at a gap of 2 nm. Mathematical treatments with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th order derivatives were employed using several combinations of gap and smoothening to identify the best fit model. Scatter correction using Standard Normal Variate and Detrending (SNVD) were also applied in the calibration to reduce the differences in spectra related to physical characteristics. Prediction equations having low value of standard error of cross validation and high value of coefficient of determination were selected. The performance of calibration and accuracy of equation was further confirmed by ratio of standard deviation of reference data to corrected standard error of prediction. It was observed that prediction models developed from 2nd derivative were suitable for most parameters however phenolics, sugars, zinc and copper prediction equation from 3rd derivative were more precise.

Development of a solar tunnel drier and quality analysis of dried food products A Sreekumar and K RajarajeswariPondicherry Central University, India

Solar drying is an energy efficient way of producing high quality dried products. In this research, effectiveness of solar drying was compared with open sun drying to establish the most favorable drying in terms of drying kinetics and product quality. A prototype

solar tunnel drier was tested by drying little gourds. The maximum drying air temperature was 54o C and average temperature was 48o C, which is feasible for drying fruits and vegetables. The initial moisture content of little gourds (93%) got reduced to 9.06% in 5 drying hours where it took 6 hours to get reduced to 12.1% in open sun drying. The quality of dried products was measured. Quality parameters were color (L*, a*, b* coordinates) and textural characteristics (hardness). The color co-ordinates (L*, a*, b*) for fresh little gourd were 46.7, 10.9 and 26.54 respectively. The lightness parameter L* increased to 50.9 and 48.23 in solar dried sample and open sun dried sample respectively. The redness parameter a* decreased to 9.24 and 4.21 for solar dried and open sun dried samples respectively. The yellowness (b*) parameter was almost same in the case of solar dried sample and reduced to 19.5 in open sun dried sample. The color deviation (ΔE) for solar dried and open sun dried samples was 4.59 and 10.1 respectively. Texture property of dried fruit was measured as puncture force, which was a measure of the hardness (N) of the product. Force for fresh product is 37.16 N and for solar dried it was 19.96 N which is less compared to open sun dried sample (30.87 N).

Biosensors for monitoring heavy metals, pesticides and aflatoxins in milkHardeep KaurCentral University of Punjab, India

Food contamination with environmental pollutants is one of the major problem globally and creating a great risk of health hazards. Milk as the major constituent of infant feed and everybody’s meal pose a great risk of contamination. Heavy metals, pesticides and

aflatoxins are some of the common contaminants found in milk from industrially active areas. A lot number of conventional analytical tools are available for their precise determination but they all suffer from numerous limitations. A remedy to such problems is the employment of biosensors that have advantage of selectivity, sensitivity and portability. Biosensor developments for such contaminants are either based on enzyme/whole cell inhibition phenomenon or interaction of pollutants with some proteins. Some DNA/aptamer based biosensors have also come into play in recent years. The advantage of surface plasmon resonance and microfluidics has lowered down the detection limits to picomolar levels. Biosensors are the future of detection systems globally and have been accepted very well by the society. The commercialization of glucometer is a success story and a number of such are in pipeline.

Musa × paradisiacal L is a perennial tree like herb valued as one of the most important fruit and vegetable crop. Due to its enriched food value and versatile medicinal value, a study was conducted to spray dry the central core juice using two different

maltodextrin concentrations i.e., 0, 5 and 10 percent of the core material as encapsulating agent. Spray dried central core juice powders and fresh central juice were assessed for their physicochemical (pH, water activity, electrical conductivity and total soluble solids), phytochemical and micronutrient properties to study the affect of spray drying. Structure of the spray dried powders was studied with scanning electron microscopy. An increase in moisture, bulk density and decrease in hygroscopicity along with the increase in the concentration of maltodextrin was observed in spray dried juice powder. Phytochemical screening of fresh juice and juice powder shows the presence of biologically important constituents-flavonoids and phenols. Hence, banana central juice powder could prevent significant post harvest loss and in turn could be exploited to its fullest extent.

Consumer perception and attitudes about the probiotic foods in Indian market Shalini SehgalUniversity of Delhi, India

Consumer interest in the relationship between diet and health has increased substantially in the recent decades. Trends in population demographics and socio-economic changes also point to the need for foods with added health benefits. Although the

level of consumer awareness about functional foods is less in India as compared to the western world but gradually, functional foods are gaining significance in the Indian market. Consumer surveys are extremely important to the food industry, as they allow for the identification of the level of knowledge about a determined subject and also for the tracing of strategies to correct and or identify failings in order to increase the sales of a food product, consequently increasing company profits and the level of consumer awareness. A self-designed questionnaire was developed to determine the level of awareness, knowledge, perceptions and the interest of Indian consumer concerning probiotic foods and their willingness to try these foods. A representative random sample of 735 adults above 18 years of age was collected from Delhi, capital city of India. The study revealed that 98.1% of the consumers had heard of the Probiotics and 69.6% felt that they were good microbes with health benefits. 13.5% categorized them as nutrient supplements and mere 14.3% used them on regular basis. Only 13.9% were prescribed by medical practitioners whereas 61.2% were consumed for their health benefits. Data from this study indicated that the majority of the consumers who participated were aware of the link between diet and health. Awareness of such a relationship is believed to be the first step in motivating interest for acquiring knowledge concerning healthy eating choices such as probiotics.

Prebiotics from lignocellulosic materials

In the light of increased health consciousness and consumer awareness, nowadays everyone prefers naturally occurring bioactive molecules in place of modern therapeutic agents. During the end of twentieth century, a great concern was

expressed for antibiotic residues, transfer of antibiotic resistance genes from animal to human through food chains. The present population believes on “prevention is better than cure” through consumption of naturally occurring bioactive molecules including prebiotics. In the list of prebiotics, xylooligosaccharides (XOS) occupies significant niche because its production process principally relies on lignocellulosic materials those are inexpensive, abundant and renewable in nature. Essentially, XOS is produced from xylan; the second largest biopolymer available on earth. The process of XOS production involves extraction of xylan from lignocellulosic materials/agricultural byproducts such as corn cobs and husk, sugarcane bagasse, natural grass, pigeon pea stalks, green coconut husks etc. The xylan is subsequently hydrolyzed into XOS with different degree of polymerized products such as xylobiose, xylotriose, xylopentose and so on. The major advantages of XOS consumption includes reduction of blood glucose and cholesterol, reduced pro-carcinogenic enzymes in gastrointestinal tract, enhanced mineral absorption from large intestine and immune-stimulation besides selective growth stimulation of beneficial gut microflora. As the xylooligosaccharides are sweet in taste, these could also be used for fortification of dairy products, confectionaries etc. Owing to the ban on antibiotics feed supplement, the XOS could be alternatives to guard gastrointestinal tract from the onslaught of pathogenic microflora. Therefore, the XOS is future sought bioactive molecule for human and animal health.

Characterization and quantification of bioactive compounds in pseudo-cereals for Nutritional Security

Increased conscious for health foods and natural ecologies, the underutilized or traditional crops are returning to the food basket largely in the form of value added products. Small millets and pseudo-cereals constitute major portion of their staple

food and among pseudo-cereals, grain amaranth and buckwheat are most important and common. Grain amaranth seeds are rich in dietary fibre content, thus an effective agent against cancer and heart disease. Grain amaranth besides possessing high lysine that is low in other grains, posses high anti oxidant properties and is free from gluten.

Therefore, the characterization of amaranth and buckwheat germplasm based on nutritional traits was carried out to determine the extent of variation and identify superior germplasm collections for the value added traits like total protein content, oil content, amino acid and fatty acid profile etc. in amaranth and buckwheat germplasm to establish genetic diversity and divergence. The results showed wide variation between varieties within the crop for antioxidant properties, protein content and other phyto-chemicals linked with glucose metabolism. The grain contains a high level of protein, averaging 13.46% in grain amaranth and 14.5% in buckwheat, with an excellent amino acid balance which can supplement a diet. Its protein contains around 5% lysine and 4.4% sulfur amino acids, which are the limiting amino acids in other grains. Total phenolics were found highest 2234.4 and 193.52 µg/100g in amaranth & buckwheat, respectively. Presences of high bioactive functionality relevant to type 2 diabetes management make these crops a valuable resource for the natives of Himalayan region.

These results provides current status of researches made in India specially focused to utilize these crops for making sustainable and acceptable future strategies which may need to include scientific rationale and understanding for designing functional foods targeted to provide nutritional security and management of new emerging health issues.

Food safety: An issue of public health concern

For sustenance of life and promotion of good health, safe and nutritious food in adequate amount is required. However, when contaminated, food can act as a vector for bacteria, viruses, parasites and prions causing food poisoning. Foods are

also often contaminated with toxic chemicals, mixed accidentally or intentionally which may be potentially harmful. Unsafe food is responsible for creating a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition, affecting all and particularly infants, young children and elderly. More than 200 diseases have been reported to be caused due to consumption of foods containing pathogenic microorganisms and toxic chemicals. Food and water borne diarrheal diseases are linked to the death of an estimated 2 million people annually worldwide. In US 1 out of 6 gets sick from food borne diseases and 300 die as a result. It is estimated that reduction of food borne diseases by 10% would save 5 million people from getting sick. In order to protect consumers against intake of unsafe foods, ISO 22000 has been developed by the International Organization for Standardization. In 2003, WHO and FAO published Codex Alimentarious that serves as a guideline to food safety. In India, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is entrusted for the implementation of Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Importance of educating food handlers regarding food safety was long been known to WHO. The organization in 1990 developed the “Ten Golden Rules for Safe Food Preparation” that was widely distributed. However, realizing that for general application a simpler recommendation will be practicable and effective WHO introduced the “Five Keys to Safer Food Poster” in 2001, which incorporated all the messages of the previous recommendation in simpler headings. In 2006 Department of Food Safety, Zoonoses and Food borne Diseases of WHO developed “Five Keys to Safer Manual” that included the “background material” related to food safety and “five keys to food safety”. The core messages of food safety are keep clean, separate raw and cooked food, cook thoroughly, keep food at safe temperature and use safe water and raw materials. A strategic plan for taking action on priority issues of food safety and food borne zoonoses was initiated by WHO in 2010 for the period 2013-2022. In order to decline the incidences of food borne illness CDC has framed specific strategies with an objective to reach the target by 2020. Food safety is thus a prerequisite for food and nutritional security and an area of public health concern to protect consumers from the risk of food poisoning and food borne diseases. No wonder that realizing the importance of providing safe food to the consumers, WHO has declared “Food Safety” as the theme for “World Health Day 2015” with the slogan “From Farm to Plate, Make Food Safe” and initiated the campaign that aims to spur government to improve food safety through public awareness campaigns and highlight their ongoing actions in this area and encourage consumers to ensure that the food on their plate is safe.

Genetically modified crops and DNA based GM diagnostics: Emerging scenario and challenges ahead

Biotechnological approaches including prospecting of genes for abiotic and biotic stress tolerance, marker-assisted selection and genetically modified (GM) crops can speed up the breeding programs. Remarkable progress has been made for the

development and adoption of GM crops in more than 28 countries with 381 GM events of 29 crops covering 180 million hectares under GM cultivation in 2014. India ranks fourth for area under GM cultivation of Bt cotton in more than 11.6 million hectares. With the pivotal role being played in tackling food security by the GM crops, there is need to allay the consumer concerns related to GM food products for regulatory compliance and to solve legal disputes. Reliable and cost-effective GM diagnostics are a pre-requisite for the same, which would further address risk assessment/management strategies and post-release monitoring issues, effectively. A cost-efficient testing strategy, GMO matrix has been developed for 141 GM events of 21 crops with 106 genetic elements for rapid screening and detection of large number of GM events. Real-time PCR, Multiplex PCR and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) based GMO screening technologies targeting commonly employed genetic elements have also been developed to check GM status of a sample irrespective of GM crop/trait in a rapid and cost-efficient manner. In India 18 GM detection laboratories are there in public and private sector, out of these 13 are NABL accredited (2 public and 11 private sector). These laboratories are catering the huge demand for certification/testing of GM-free status in the samples of export. Further, close knit network of GM diagnostic laboratories needs to be brought up in collaboration with the regulatory bodies to build up a robust and sound mechanism for regulatory compliance and ensuring public confidence in GM crops to harness their benefits for the society.

Nutritive and non-nutritive bioactive components in pulse grains: Implications for human nutrition and health

Protein calorie-malnutrition (PCM) is believed to be primary nutritional problem in most developing countries of the world. Grains of cereals and legumes remain the major sources of calories and proteins for a large proportion of the world

population. The food values of seeds of pulses are high providing 1040 to 1430 kJ of energy per 100 g. Their protein content (18-28%) is generally about double that of most cereals but is usually deficient in sulfur containing amino acids, methionine and cystine. On the other hand, cereal-grain contains lower amounts of proteins which are deficient in lysine but have adequate amounts of sulfur amino acids. It is often, therefore, emphasized that legume-grain proteins are the natural supplement to cereal-grain protein in producing an overall essential amino acid balance. Carbohydrate profiles of pulses include prebiotics: Raffinose-family oligosaccharides, fructo oligosaccharides, sugar alcohols and resistant starch that contribute to the low glycemic index (GI<55) and high dietary fibre. Among the sugars, raffinose, stachyose, verbascose, ajugose and pentosans predominate in most of the pulses. Pulses are good source of B vitamin folate which significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). In addition to the traditional macronutrients, pulses contain a wide variety of anti-nutritional compounds which vary considerably in their biochemistry. They can be proteins (protease inhibitors, α-amylases and lectins), glycosides (α-galactosides, vicine and convicine) and tannins, saponins as well as alkaloids. They do not appear equally distributed in all legumes and their physiological effects are diverse. The enzyme inhibitors reduce protein digestibility and lectins can reduce nutrient absorption. Phytic acid reduces mineral bioavailability. Some phenolic compounds can reduce protein digestibility and mineral bioavailability and galacto-oligosaccharides may cause flatulence. On the other hand, the same compounds which qualify as phytochemicals may have health protective effects (for example, as anticarcinogenic, hypocholesterolemic or hypoglycemic agents). Phytic acid exhibits antioxidant activity and protects DNA damage; Lignans and isoflavones have anticarcinogenic, weak oestrogenic and antioxidant properties. Phenolic compounds including tannins found mainly in the seed coat have antioxidant activity. Phytoestrogens in pulses may play a role in the prevention of hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancer; saponins have hypocholesterolaemic effect and anti-cancer activity. Legumes are used in various food forms after suitable processing depending on the regions of their production and consumption. Processing generally improves the nutrient profile of legume seed by increasing in vitro digestibility of proteins and carbohydrates and at the same time there are reductions in some anti-nutritional compounds. Most anti nutritional factors are heat-labile such as protease inhibitors and lectins, so thermal treatment would remove any potential negative effects from consumption. On the other hand, tannins, saponins and phytic acid are heat stable but can be reduced by dehulling, soaking, germination and or fermentation. Aspects such as production, consumption, processing and food uses, chemical composition and effect of processing on the nutritive value are the important topics of this paper. To enhance their utilization, new potential as diversified food uses have been highlighted. Future research needs and priority research areas are listed.

India from bagging bowl to food and nutritional security: Problems and opportunitiesR P SinghICAR-National Agricultural Science Complex, India

In the backdrop of the worst Bengal Famine in India during 1940 when millions died without food, the food situation in India till 1961 was a state of bagging bowl or ship to mouth due to poor production and productivity of main crops with occasional droughts,

poor roads, electricity, irrigation system, infrastructure, all this was due to poor and lack of education and research. The country was always under the threat due to increasing population (363.2 ml in 1951 to 1229 ml during 2013). India was showing great signs of collapsing as was predicted by Padak and Padak brothers (US), that India will be doomed in few years and the Mendle and Malthus theory will come true when India’s growing population will overtake the agricultural production. There will be starving deaths due to food unavailability. This threatened viability of the social system with drastic effects of environmental and economic implications. India was surviving on PL480 charity wheat and other food item at the mercy of USA; however, with the determination of the Prime Minister, who thought of diminishing honor by living on charity if continued any longer, encouraged the scientist and farmers by giving full support from administration and politicians for increasing food production through grain crops. This was augured up with the help of Dr. N.E. Borlang and his team of around 20 worldwide selected scientists through Rockefeller Foundation as advisors for different crops for higher education and research. This was the first phase of increasing food production started during 1960’s with the introduction of few dwarf wheat varieties from Mexico during 1963-64 and later on from next year the suitable dwarf varieties were selected in India from the advanced generation material received from Mexico and later developed own varieties in due course of time. Wheat production increased abruptly from 6.5 mlt during 1951-52 to 28.80 mlt till 1975, similarly Rice 20.60 mlt to 48.06 mlt, Maize 1.8 to 7.5 mlt, total cereals 42.41 mlt to 108.00 mlt. During this time the human resource employment was doubled in agriculture sector and the Indian Agricultural Universities Association (IAUA) was established in 1967 with only 9 founder member universities. This was the period from 1965-75 in which 25% of the scientists were send abroad in various developed countries for higher education and expose of their skills to research. In addition to this about 35% of the scientist, were helped through main universities and research institutions in India to upgrade and upgrade their education and research capabilities. The India became self sufficient in food grains within 10 years up to 1975, satisfying very well the needs of the growing population.

Improving C3 plant productivity by using cyanobacterial bicarbonate transportersSandhya MehrotraBirla Institute of Technology and Science, India

In order to improve photosynthetic performance of C3 crop plants, inspirations can be drawn from C4 plants as well as lower organisms like algae and cyanobacteria which possess mechanisms to concentrate carbon dioxide around RuBisCO to reduce

photo-respiratory losses. One approach involves transfer of bicarbonate transporter proteins from cyanobacteria which are known to enhance CO2 concentration around RuBisCO thus alleviating its oxygenase activity. Single-subunit bicarbonate transporters such as BicA and SbtA are the most obvious initial candidates because of simplified plant transformation requirements. We have designed and synthesized fusion constructs incorporating transit peptides and the above mentioned transporter genes bicA and sbtA from cyanobacteria after an extensive in silico analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplast envelope proteins based on the location of their N and C-termini, topology and function. The fused segments were sub-cloned into a modified plant expression vector pRI101-AN containing GUS as a reporter gene. Recombinant pRI (TP+bicA/sbtA+gus) constructs were bombarded on tobacco leaves to study transient expression by fluorometric GUS analysis. The constructs were also transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 which were further used to generate stable transgenic plants via co-culture method in tobacco and floral-dip method in Arabidopsis. Successful transformants obtained using co culture method were analyzed by GUS histochemical assay. Transgenic T1 plants were obtained using floral dip method were screened on kanamycin containing media. These plants would be further raised to obtain T2 generation seeds. A successful incorporation of bicarbonate transporter into inner envelope membrane of chloroplast is expected to provide marginal but significant improvement in photosynthetic performance.

DNA-based GMO screening strategies: Rapid monitoring the GM status of products in food and supply chainMonika Singh, Rajesh K Bhoge and Gurinderjit RandhawaICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, India

More than 20 genetically modified (GM) food crops comprising 75 percent of globally commercialized GM events have been approved for use as food (direct or in processed form) or for cultivation. In India, several GM events of food crops

including brinjal, corn, cabbage, cauliflower, chickpea, groundnut, mustard, okra, papaya, rice, sorghum, soybean, sugarcane, tomato, watermelon, wheat have been under field trials at Biosafety Research Levels-I and II or imported for research purposes. Efficient DNA-based GMO screening strategies have been developed which would assist in reducing the number of samples to be tested for further confirmation tests, thus cutting down the overall cost of GM testing. GMO matrix has been developed as decision support system to select screening assays for testing range of GM events. Multiplex PCR assay targeting commonly employed marker genes and duplex Real-time PCR assay targeting regulatory elements have been developed for testing the GM status of a sample, irrespective of specific GM trait and crop. TaqMan® Real-time PCR based Multi-target System simultaneously detecting 47 targets has been developed for rapid screening of GM food crops. Visual and Real-time Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assays targeting promoters, marker genes and transgenes have been developed which could facilitate rapid on-site GM detection at port of entry or in farmers’ fields when combined with fast DNA extraction kit. The developed strategies would also be employed by GMO testing laboratories in the country as per the availability of resources and scope, to test the GM status of food crops and products.

Engineering plant genome for cold toleranceRiffat JohnUniversity of Kashmir, India

Low/freezing temperature is one of the most important environmental factors that not only restrict the geographical area for the cultivation of crops but also account for huge losses in plant productivity. Freezing tolerance, in most temperate plants is acquired

by the phenomenon called “cold acclimation”. Through genetics, molecular, physiological, biochemical and functional genomics approach, a large number of genes and molecules have been implicated in cold tolerance. Understanding the mechanism of cold stress tolerance and genes involved in the cold stress signaling network has practical importance for crop improvement. Our laboratory has identified and successfully cloned both genomic and cDNA clones of a protein homologous to Arabidopsis Kin1 gene family of cold induced proteins from several varieties of Brassica oleracea. We transformed a cold susceptible plant (tomato) with this gene and are studying its influence on cold resistance in the backdrop of the observation that the protein expresses constitutively at ambient temperatures in local cold tolerant varieties, contrary to the reports of its induction during cold. We, therefore, believe that it may be responsible for cold tolerance as opposed to a signal of cold stress.

Genetic improvement for protein content and quality in coarse cerealsJayant S Bhat1, Firoz Hossain2 and B S Patil11University of Agricultural Sciences, India2Indian Agricultural Research Institute, India

The coarse cereals are a group of highly variable members of Poaceae grown all over the world for food feed and forage as industrial raw material. Coarse cereals have been traditionally the main component of food basket of the poor and predominantly grown

in the resource fragile agro-climatic regions. Eight cereal grains viz., wheat, maize, rice, barley, Sorghum, oats, rye and millets provide 56% of the food energy and 50% of the protein consumed on earth. The proteins present in these grains may belong to one or more classes of proteins viz., albumins, globulins, prolamins or glutelins and the major seed storage proteins of coarse cereals are prolamins. The seed protein content appears to be determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The protein content in general varies from 6-15% in cereal grains. Environmental factors including agronomic practices affect grain protein and its amino acid composition. The cereal proteins are generally deficient in essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan. One of the strategies to increase the quality and quantity of protein available in coarse cereals is through genetic modification. However, low genetic variability for protein content, negative correlation between protein content and grain yield resulting into lower yield are the bottlenecks in development and adoption of such varieties. The work on genetic improvement of protein content and quality has mostly been attempted with considerable success in maize, Sorghum and barley which focused mainly on enhancement of lysine content using high lysine mutants. The methods attempted to enhance protein content and quality varied from traditional plant breeding to rDNA technology. The approaches used were increasing the protein content, enhancing the protein quality, increasing the levels of free amino acids and create a completely artificial protein containing the maximum number of the essential amino acids. Some of the examples of successful genotypes developed are Quality Protein Maize (QPM) varieties, Hiproly in barley, high lysine mutants ‘IS 11167’ and ‘IS 11758’ in Sorghum and Bichpuri local in pearl millet. However, the improvement in nutritional content of crops has been a challenge due to low genetic variability and the lack of clear understanding of plant metabolism and challenge of resolving intersecting networks of several metabolic pathways. The success in achieving the goal of enhanced grain quality in food crops will depend on active collaborative efforts of the institutions with expertise in breeding, molecular biology, biotechnology, food technology and the industry. Nevertheless, achievements so far made for the improvement of protein content and quality indicate the potential for fighting the menace of malnutrition through genetic improvement.

Antioxidant, anti-diabetic and renal protective properties of Stevia rebaudianaNaveen ShivannaDefense Food Research Laboratory, India

Stevia rebaudiana has been used for the treatment of diabetes in for example, Brazil, although a positive effect on anti-diabetic and its complications has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Streptozotocin is a potential source of oxidative stress that induces

genotoxicity. The effects of Stevia leaves and its extracted polyphenols on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were studied. It can be hypothesized that supplementation of polyphenols extract from Stevia to the diet causes a reduction in diabetes and its complications. Several indices were analyzed to assess the modulation of the streptozotocin induced oxidative stress, toxicity and blood glucose levels by Stevia. The results showed a reduction of blood glucose, ALT and AST and increment of insulin level in the Stevia whole leaves powder and extracted polyphenols fed rats compared to control diabetic group. Its feeding also reduced the MDA concentration in liver and improved its antioxidant status through antioxidant enzymes. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were improved by their feeding. Streptozotocin induces kidney damage as evidenced by decreased glomerular filtration rate; this change was however alleviated in the Stevia leaves and extracted polyphenol fed groups. The results suggested that Stevia leaves do have a significant role in alleviating liver and kidney damage in the STZ-diabetic rats besides its hypoglycemic effect. It might be adequate to conclude that Stevia leaves could protect rats against streptozotocin induced diabetes reduces the risk of oxidative stress and ameliorate liver and kidney damage.

Lactuca sativa protects kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity in mice: Evidence for neuroprotective effectK R Anilakumar and S N HarshaDefense Food Research Laboratory, India

There are clinical evidences that neurodegeneration can be ameliorated upon dietary intake or supplementary intake of natural antioxidants. Dietary intake contains variety of antioxidant vitamin supplements which play a vital role in neuroprotection in

variety of neurological disorders. The study using kainic acid (KA) was conducted with concomitant administration of the extract of Lactuca sativa (lettuce) to evaluate the possible protection against the chemically induced neuronal damage. Two doses viz., 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight of the plant extract were administered to mice and behavior and biochemical studies were conducted in the tissues after sacrifice. In the elevated plus maze test and open field test, the feeding of Lactuca sativa leaves extract at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight showed a significant increase in the time spent in the open arms and the open area. In the model of KA induced excitotoxic neuronal death in vivo, we observed a pronounced increase in neuronal degeneration marked by a sharp increase in lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl after KA injection. These occurring as a result of excito-toxicology suggest the role of increased free radical production. Administration of plant extract with kainic acid treatment decreased the level of brain malondialdehyde, nitrite and protein carbonyl levels. Corresponding to development of seizures, KA in dose, 10 mg/kg body weight i.p, increased the brain glutamate levels when compared with control group. Pretreatment with Lactuca sativa extract significantly reduced brain glutamate elevated by KA treatment. The data revealed significant increase in the activity of AchE in brain homogenate of kainic acid treated mice. The administration of Lactuca sativa extract at 400 mg/kg body weight reversed the kainic acid induced reduction of lactate dehydrogenase activity. The plant extract rich in polyphenols and other secondary metabolites scavenges the free radicals/ROS; in-turn protects the cells from ROS attack. The neurotransmitters viz., epinephrine, nor epinephrine, DOPA and 5-HT levels in brain were decreased significantly with kainic acid treatment when compared to control group. The ingestion of Lactuca sativa extract increased the levels of neurotransmitters in brain. Kainic acid induced structural changes like oedema, necrosis and hemorrhages in brain tissues. These conditions were reversed by Lactuca sativa extract at 400 mg/kg body weight.

GM food labeling: Science, sense and stewardship of itPranjal YadavaICAR- Indian Institute of Maize Research, India

Labeling of genetically modified (GM) foods is a contentious issue across the world. GM food is produced in 28 countries and imported by several other countries. Production and consumption of GM foods is increasing every year since 1996, when these

were first commercialized. At the same time, the perceived notions about safety of GM foods among consumers have led to different kinds of voluntary, executive or legislative guidelines for labeling of GM foods in different countries. The labeling requirements have increased the complexities for the food industry and international food trade, necessitating greater understanding of the science, sense and stewardship of GM food labeling among the stakeholders in the food businesses. The United States which remains the leading country in production and consumption of GM foods does not differentiate between foods created by conventional or GM means unless the later are altered for nutritional value. On the other hand, the European Union requires mandatory labeling for products with greater than 0.9% GM ingredients. In India, from January 2013, the central government has made it mandatory to label all packaged GM foods under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. However, the threshold for GM ingredients has not been defined. So far, India has allowed use of only two food products derived from GM material i.e., imported GM soybean oil (crude de-gummed/refined form) derived from Roundup Ready Soybean for the purpose of consumption after refining and domestically produced cottonseed oil. However, the issue of labeling of these oils or food products made in these oils has not arisen because oil derived from GM soybean or GM cotton is free from any detectable GM ingredient. Scientific aspects of latest molecular techniques for GM detection across food supply chain shall be discussed.

Product development and role of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics in managing obesity, T2DM and undernutrition and its co-morbidities: A meta-analysisMini Sheth and Tanu Shree SinghMaharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India

Background: Most Indian citizens are either undernourished or suffering from NCDs and related comorbidities resulting in huge economic and man hour losses. In both the situations the gut health of the individual is compromised and the answer to this problem could be a “Gut-Check”. In view of this background, the investigators at the department of Foods and Nutrition, The M.S. University of Baroda initiated a series of studies since past decade. Various clinical trials were undertaken in varied groups such as elderly, adults and children using Prebiotics, Probiotics and Synbiotics. Simultaneously several food products were developed using Fructooligosaccharide (FOS), Inulin and Resistant Starch and their organoleptic qualities was determined.

Methodology: Meta-analysis of 9 studies was carried out and gut health of the 669 human subjects (aged 4-65 years) was determined in terms of colonization of Lactic acid bacteria, Bifidobacteria, enteric pathogens, Clostridium and Bacteriodes in stool samples using selective media. Using standard methods, bio chemical, biophysical parameters and anthropometry was determined in children, adults and elderly subjects with respect to BMI, blood pressure, percent body fat, BMR, serum lipid profile, HsCRP, HbA1c, FBS, PP2BS, GLP, GIP, PYY, Leptin, LPS, Ghrelin, Insulin. Serum IgA and morbidity profile (common colds and diarrheal episodes) was determined in case of undernourished children. Most of the studies were undertaken using RCT design whereas some studies used cross-over as well as double blind placebo control designs. The intervening food (Fructooligosaccharide, Resistant Starch and Inulin) was supplemented in the range of 7-20 g and the period of supplementation ranged from 4-12 weeks.

Results: Supplementation with synbiotics, prebiotics and probiotics in adult diabetic subjects (n=256, 25-65 years age) resulted in reduction in Enteric pathogens, HbA1C , FBS, PP2BS, TC, TG, LDL and HsCRP by 6%, 11.78, 9.19,13.3, 8.42, 6.27, 8.44 and 38% respectively along with a mean rise in Bifidobacteria, Lactic acid bacteria and HDL by 33%, 25% and 24.57%. Intervention trials in obese subjects (n=208, 25-50 years age) with FOS (10-20 g) resulted in significant rise in Bifidobacteria, Lactic acid bacteria, Ghrelin, GIP, GLP, PYY by 11%, 20%, 17%, 6.37%, 9.22% and 1.02% respectively. A reduction in the mean values for Clostridium, Bacteriodes, Insulin and Leptin were observed as 1.9%, 11.4%, 5.83% and 5.78% respectively. Intervening undernourished children (n=205, 4-12 years age) with FOS also revealed an increased colonization of Bifidobacteria by 19% and Lactic acid bacteria by 13.61%, whereas the mean reduction in colonization of enteric pathogens and incidence of GI problems and infections were 26%, 65% and 37% respectively. Non-significant impact was observed in terms of Serum IgA levels. FOS supplementation in school going children resulted in improved oral hygiene by 70% with 16% reduction in S. mitis. Prebiotics could be successfully substituted or added in 35 foods in the range of 10-20% with high sensory qualities except for chapattis. Some foods (cake, patra, idli, kheer) and most beverages (buttermilk, milk, tea and lemon water) scored higher or were similar to standard foods.

Production, optimization and characterization of wine from pineapple (Ananas comosus Linn)S Rajkumar ImmanuelThe American College, India

Wine is one of the functional fermented foods that have many health benefits. These include reduction in coronary heart disease, development of healthier blood vessels in elderly people, decreasing ovarian cancer risk in women and making the bones

stronger. In the present study a total of 4 yeast stains were isolated from their ability to grow on 2% glucose medium. To evaluate the fermentation efficiency of locally identified yeast strains, the most of Ananas comosus (Pineapple) juice was inoculated separately with Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolate I and Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolate II. The physicochemical parameters and the efficiency of these two strains were tested for their sugar content, pH, titratable acidity and alcohol content. The result revealed that as sugar content decreases, alcohol content increases; as pH decreases, acid content increases and the pH values ranges from 3.42 and 3.72 respectively which fall in the agreeable limit. Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolate I and Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolate II showed alcohol content in the final day of fermentation to 12 and 14% (v/v) respectively. The mixed cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolate I and II produced the highest alcohol content to 16.0% (v/v) in the final day of fermentation. The wine made from these yeast strains resembled the commercial wine in terms of its composition, taste and aroma. The wine also showed a good antioxidant activity.

Protected cultivation technology for safe fresh food production

Agriculture is highly dependent on environment and it is very difficult to get favorable climatic conditions for crop growth and development as per crop need. Agriculture is basically climate/season based; a hot and humid climatic conditions

characterized in rainy and post rainy season is most favorable for both crop and crop enemies. To raise a healthy disease free crop spring-summer seasons was counted as most suitable. But, fast climatic changes happening across the globe has changed climatic characteristics of a season which has resulted in untimely rains and other fluctuations in the spring-summer season raising the challenge to develop climate resilient technologies. Not even that, with time extreme hot and cold temperature stresses have been noticed in geographically varied locations where it was not supposed to be earlier based on various geographical factors deciding the climatic conditions of that area. Therefore, there is need to develop suitable varieties and technologies to sustain these challenges which may come up in form of various biotic and abiotic factors. Vegetable cultivation is an awesome business in India but under open field conditions by following traditional cultivation practices it is difficult to manage various abiotic and biotic stresses. These stresses not only reduce productivity levels but they are also responsible for poor quality specifically during rainy and post rainy season. Mostly to manage biotic stresses farmers spray large amount of different chemicals, this not only enhances the cost of cultivation but it also increases residual toxicity in the freshly produced vegetables which is ultimately hazardous to human health. How to address these issues, can we manipulate the climatic conditions or can we provide protection to the crops against climatic fluctuations and various other related stresses. Yes, protected cultivation technology has the answer to this but it is a tricky technology highly depending upon intelligent implementation of protected structures for vegetable cultivation by having a knowhow on “What, When, Where and Why” to implement. Every protected structure has its own limitations and advantages but the basic benefit is its extra protective shelter restricting or minimizing the exposure of the crops to various adverse factors which are high in open conditions. Even though the application of chemicals for controlling biotic stresses is also low under protected structures which gives a high quality safe vegetables for human consumption.

Mango kernel extracts as potential antioxidant food additives

Antioxidants are important food additives in processed food products to prevent deterioration in quality of foods by auto-oxidation of lipids. Use of natural antioxidants has increased tremendously in recent times over synthetic ones due to the

safety concerns. Fruits and vegetables are the major sources of antioxidant phytonutrients in the human diet. Mango is one of the most important tropical fruits and India ranks first in world production. During the processing of mango, mainly for mango pulp and preparation of amchur powder, peel and kernels are discarded as waste products. They form about 20 to 22% of the whole fruit. Mango seed kernels were found to possess 30 to 50 times more antioxidant activity than the pulp and can be a potential source of natural antioxidants. Mango kernels were defatted and used for the isolation of antioxidants. The method for the isolation of kernel antioxidants was standardized with respect to solvent ratio, temperature and time. The yield of antioxidants was 10% to 12.5% based on dry weight of defatted kernels. DPPH and FRAP activities of the isolated antioxidants were 30% and 10% more than the ascorbic acid respectively. Total flavonoids were 44.03 mg/g. Extracts were found to be stable when heated up to 200o C for 30 minutes. Extracts were also found to be stable in aqueous solution when heated at boiling temperature for 30 minutes. The stability of extracts was also tested at alkaline and acidic conditions. The activity of extracts did not decrease at pH-4 and pH-9. Acidulant properties of extract were tested. 0.1% addition of the extract to water decreased the pH to 4. The efficiency of protection against lipid peroxidation by kernel antioxidants was tested through incorporation in biscuits. Addition of 0.15% kernel antioxidants in cookies prevented lipid peroxidantion by 48% over control when tested after 3 months of storage. The kernel antioxidants also exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter strains which are common food borne pathogens. The importance of antioxidants in human diet is ever increasing because of their myriad health protecting properties. Antioxidants are needed for neutralizing the harmful effects of free radicals formed in the human body as a result of various metabolic activities. The kernel extracts can also be used as antioxidant food supplements to alleviate oxidative stress in humans.

Shelf-life enhancement of pearl millet flour

Rapid development of rancidity and bitterness in the flour has been a major problem in the acceptability and utilization of pearl millet flour. The pearling of pearl millet grains brings changes in its chemical composition. During the pearling

operation nutrients present in the grain are distributed due to the reason that certain nutrients are concentrated into certain part of grain. The pearl millet grains are processed by friction and abrasion operation in a simple pearler to peel and strip various layers of bran from grains. In pearl millet the quality of flour require to be improved for its better acceptability and longer shelf life. Due to high fat content its storability is poor, particularly of its flour. Pearling of the pearl millet grain can improve its palatability as well. A pearler is developed which could pearl small quantity of sample. The mill rotors consist of two 98 mm diameter and 13 mm thick carborundum grinding wheels driven by 1.0 hp electric motor. Each wheel is separated by 5 mm where clearance of 2.5 mm is maintained between two wheels and pearling chamber. The grain is fed through the top and passes through rotating wheels. The pearled grain is collected at the bottom. Pearling of pearl millet has been done as a means of producing low fat pearled grains and also to obtain different fractions (pearled grains, partially pearled grains, partially pearled grains-fines, grit and fine bran) for analysis for its chemical constituents. The data indicated that grit fraction has 4.3% ash contents (minerals), 18.90% crude protein and 17.0% either extract (lipid) indicating as good source of dietary energy. Further, the flour derived from pearled pearl millet grain was having more shelf life compared to the flour made from un-pearled pearl millet grain.

Milk and milk products: Their contribution in the nutritional and health securityBimlesh Mann, Rajan Sharma and Prabin SarkarNational Dairy Research Institute, India

Adequate nutrition and a healthy productive population are increasingly recognized as an important prerequisite for poverty reduction and economic and social development. Nutrition experts recognize milk and milk products as important constituents

of a well-balanced and nutritionally adequate diet. Milk is a complex food containing numerous nutrients which includes water, carbohydrate (lactose), fat, protein, minerals and vitamins. The factors that influence nutrient composition of milk are species differences, stage of lactation, breed differences, number of parturitions (parity), seasonal variations, age and health of the animal, feed and management effects. Most of the constituents in milk do not work in isolation but rather interact with other constituents. In this regard, milk products complement and supplement nutrients available from grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood and poultry. Social and technological developments of the past few decades have significantly influenced the variety of dairy products available. Some of the nutrients can be altered using biotechnological and nanotechnological interventions in the dairy products to make them bio-available. Based on available knowledge on therapeutic aspects of milk and milk products, it can be safely concluded these products should be consumed not only for meeting nutritional requirement but also for their role in prevention of disorders leading to obesity, osteoporosis, dental caries, poor gastrointestinal health, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and colorectal cancer. Whey proteins, lactose derivatives, milk proteins derived bioactive peptides and bioactive milk lipids have been targeted by the food formulators and health professionals for the manufacture of novel foods. Further, milk mining for the isolation of such bioactive molecules through appropriate technological interventions has gathered momentum in the recent past. It can be envisaged that in the near future several breakthrough products based on these ingredients will be launched in the Indian markets. They could be targeted to the elderly and immune compromised people as well as to improve performance and prevent diet-related chronic diseases. Moreover, today’s consumers receive nutrition information and dietary advice on dairy consumption from a variety of sources. The subject of health and nutrition claims has received considerable attention from both the industry sector and the regulators. The general consensus amongst the legislators is that the regulatory framework should protect the consumer from false information, promote fair trade and encourage innovation in the food industry that can ultimately translate into healthier lifestyles. In many parts of the world, milk and dairy products are highly valued and have an important role in both household food security and also in income generation. Ensuring that dairy-industry programs are inclusive of smallholders thus has significant food-security and poverty-reduction implications, producing high-quality milk and dairy products that are or will be demanded by consumers can be a challenging and complex task. To achieve this, consumers, industry and governments need up-to-date information on how milk and dairy products can contribute to human nutrition and how dairying and dairy-industry development can best contribute to increasing food security and alleviating poverty.

Elucidating the effect of amylose on on-line rheology of pearl millet flours during extrusionShalini Gaur Rudra, Srikrishna Nishani, Datta S C, Charanjit Kaur and Ashish SinghIndian Agricultural Research Institute, India

Pearl millet is a micro-nutrient rich crop grown in arid regions of Asia and Africa. Millet based extruded products can ensure both food and economic security amongst these malnutrition prone areas. The effect of flour crystallinity and percentage amylose

in starch on the rheological attributes during thermo-mechanical processing of pearl millet flour (varieties: P 443, ICTP 8203, L 74) was measured using on-line rheometer during twin-screw extrusion. The shear strain measurements (270-670 s-1) indicated a shear thickening behavior which has been modeled using modified Power law (R2>0.8). The consistency index of pearl millet flour decreased with increasing moisture content (23 to 28%, wb) and barrel temperature (70-90o C). The flow behavior index was found to increase with moisture and temperature. Consistency index was found to increase with increase in amylose content. Modified Arrhenius model was used to explain the effect of temperature and moisture on consistency index. This study formidates the effect of crystallinity and amylose content in raw material on the rheological attributes of flours during extrusion cooking at various temperatures and moisture levels.

Sustainable production of L-theanine, a nutraceutical, using microbial gamma-glutamyl transpeptidaseShruti B Rajput and Rani GuptaUniversity of Delhi, India

L-theanine (gamma-glutamylethylamide), chemically named as 2-amino-4-(ethylcarbamoyl) butyric acid is a modified amino acid, naturally occurring in tea leaves and few species of mushroom. L-theanine helps in prevailing alpha-waves in human brain

which results into a state of relaxation without drowsiness. It has also been known for its immunologic attributes on human health as in cases of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, has been approved as a food supplement by FDA. Due to the high cost of natural extraction and time consuming chemical synthesis, scientists have been moving to a more eco-friendly and cost effective method for its synthesis. Microbial gamma-glutamyl transpeptidases (GGT) have flourished as a boom for the synthesis of such gamma-glutamyl compounds with utmost specificity. GGTs are unique peptidases which cleave a gamma bond formed between a glutamyl moiety and an amino acid and transfer this glutamyl moiety to an acceptor. In the search of a potent GGT, we have screened various GGTs from Bacillus species. GGT from Bacillus licheniformis have demonstrated exceptionally high conversion rates in the synthesis of L-theanine using L-glutamine and ethylamine. Subsequently, statistical method (response surface methodology) was employed in order to optimize synthesis of L-theanine using GGT from Bacillus licheniformis. However, as the enzyme cost is the major constraint in any enzymatic reaction, immobilization of GGT on chitosan microsphere has been standardized. Also enzyme stability and reusability have been looked into to make the process cost effective. Hence, a bench-scale process has been developed for the sustainable synthesis of L-theanine using immobilized GGT.

Fresh produce as a vehicle for the transmission of bacterial pathogens to humansPreeti Verma, Vijay Veer Saharan and Arvind Pratap SinghCentral University of Rajasthan, India

Fresh fruits and vegetables often eaten without cooking or minimal further processing are important in healthy diet. However, recently several outbreaks of food-borne illness caused by human enteric pathogens have been linked to consumption of fresh

fruits, vegetables and leafy greens. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the presence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of human enteric pathogens colonize and persist in fresh vegetables and fruits. In the present study, we found that pathogenic E. coli epiphytically and endophytically colonize and persist in fresh vegetables/fruits. In addition, the highest percentages of drug resistance in isolates of E. coli were detected against clinically important antibiotics such as amoxicillin and chloramphenicol. In conclusion, the present study provided evidences that human enteric pathogen cycling through fresh produce might pose a potential health risk to the consumer. Therefore, in order to avoid this, good hygienic practices are necessary in the abattoirs to prevent contamination of fresh vegetables.

DNA-based diagnostics for genetically modified maize eventsRajesh K Bhoge, Monika Singh and Gurinderjit RandhawaICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, India

Genetically Modified (GM) maize has highest number of globally approved events, i.e., 141 GM events and its adoption would play a role in nutritional security and increasing crop productivity. In India, more than 35 percent of imports for research

purposes are of GM maize, predominantly for insect resistance or/and herbicide tolerance. Several other GM maize events have been under field trials at Biosafety Research levels I and II since 2006. As maize is highly cross-pollinated crop, so there may be chances of introgression of transgenes into the wild or weedy relatives; efficient detection strategies would assist to check the unauthorized GM events and to address consumers’ choice for opting GM or GM-free food. DNA-based methods are being employed for GM detection due to high specificity and sensitivity. In the present study, SYBR® Green 1 based multiplex real-time PCR-based assays were developed for rapid and simultaneous detection of three GM maize events, Bt11, Bt176 and MON89034. Visual and Real-time Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assays were developed for rapid/on-site detection of six GM maize events, viz., Bt11, GA21, MON810, MON89034, NK603 and TC1507. The developed methods would be efficiently utilized to check for GM maize events in food and supply chain.

Effect of ultrasonication on the phytochemical potential of dried pomegranate peel and pomegranate pomace powderGagandeep Kaur1, Radhika1, Vikas Kumar1, Gitanjali Vyas2, Vanshika Handa1 and Prakriti Jnawali11Lovely Professional University, India2Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, India

An attempt was made to study the effect of ultrasonication assisted extraction method on the phytochemical potential of dried pomegranate peel and pomegranate pomace powder. The dried peels (at 50o C) from different sources were sonicated for

different times (10, 20, 30 minutes) by using ultrasonic interferometer for liquids (F-80) and were analyzed for various phytochemical properties such as phenolic content, tannin content, anthocyanin content, carotenoids content, crude proteins and antioxidant activity. It was observed that with increase in the sonication time, there was a gradual increase in antioxidant activity antioxidant activity (83.81-86.99%), phenolic content (118.35-162.30 mg GAE/100 g), tannin content (103.35-48.25 mg TAE/100 g), whereas, the change in the anthocyanin content, carotenoids content and crude protein content was non-significant. Among the different sources i.e., peel powder and pomace powder irrespective to sonication time, highest antioxidant activity (86.41%) and tannin content (152.18 mg TAE/100 g) was observed in sonicated peel powder, whereas, highest total phenolic content (147.41 mg GAE/100 g) and total anthocyanin content (8.18 mg/100 g) was observed in the sonicated pomegranate pomace powder. The difference for catotenoids and protein content was non-significant among the different sources of peel powder. Therefore, it is concluded that on the basis of the phytochemical properties, the results of these two sonicated sources were almost comparable which ensure a better utilization of the waste from pomegranate processing industry for development of different phytochemical enriched food products.

Salicylic acid reduces the incidence of lenticels browning and improves fruit quality of mangoK Prasad and R R SharmaICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, India

Mango is called as the ‘King of fruits’ in India. It suffers badly from different postharvest problems but lenticels browning affect its export. Here, the external appearance of fruits is affected greatly which distract consumers and ultimately affects its trade. Hence,

improving the external appearance of mango fruits is always a key concern for scientist working on fresh handling. For the control of this emerging problem, an experiment was conducted to know the effect of salicylic acid, a novel molecule on lenticels browning, physiological, biochemical and quality attributes of mango. This experiment was carried out using two indigenous (‘Dushehari’ & ‘Langra’) and two exotic (‘Sensation’ & ‘St. Alexendrina’) varieties of mango which were found to be prone to incidence of lenticels browning. The fruits of selected varieties were subjected to salicylic acid dip treatment at three different levels (200, 400, 600 ppm) along with control (water dip). After treatment, mango fruits were stored at ambient conditions (35±4º C and 65±5% RH) for 10 days. Results revealed that among the varieties, ‘Langra’ exhibited the highest incidence of lenticels browning (85.1%) while ‘Sensation’ the lowest (14.7%). All treatments of salicylic acid had significant effect on reducing lenticels browning and other studied attributes. However, salicylic acid at 200 ppm was found to be most effective in reducing lenticels browning (33.7%) compared to untreated fruits (54.3%). This treatment level reduces the activities of enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase (0.397 ∆A410 O.D. min-1mg-1), peroxidase (0.050 ∆A470 O.D. min-1mg-1) and lipoxygenase (3.227 µmol-1g-1 fresh wt. min-1) than control while significantly increases total phenol content (15.46 mg GAE/100 g), compared to control (12.19 mg GAE/100 g). Under physiological parameters, this level of treatment lowered the ethylene evolution rate (0.521 µl kg-1 h-1), respiration rate (34.46 ml CO2 kg-1 h-1) and it also results insignificant decrease in postharvest decay (23.3%) over untreated fruits (73.3%) without effecting the total soluble solids and total carotenoids. Thus, it can be concluded that salicylic acid treatment (200 ppm) can be used in postharvest chain management of mango fruits for reducing lenticels browning, an emerging problem.

Changes in nutrient and phytochemical content after precooking processing in the shoots of two Bambusa speciesKanchan Rawat1, Natasha Saini1, C Nirmala1 and M S Bisht21Panjab U niversity, India2North Eastern Hill University, India

Bamboo shoot, the juvenile culm of bamboo plant is popular worldwide as a seasonal vegetable due to its high nutritional value and health benefits. Prior to cooking, shoots are processed which can improve nutrients digestibility, bioavailability and also

reduce anti-nutritional factors. In present study, juvenile shoots of Bambusa balcooa and B. nutans were subjected to precooking processing treatments for different time durations such as boiling (10 and 20 min) and soaking (12 and 24 hours) and were analyzed for nutrients and phytochemicals content. Results showed that raw shoots contain nutrients such as protein (3.5-3.7%), carbohydrate (2.80-3.22%), starch (1.21-1.40%), amino acid (2.13-2.20%), dietary fiber (5.34-6.07%), vitamin C (1.52-2.63 mg/100 g fresh weight) and vitamin E (0.47-0.49 mg/100 g fresh weight), ash (0.82-0.86%) and moisture (90.68-91.21%) content. With processing, it was observed that protein, carbohydrate, free amino acid, dietary fibre and ash content reduced maximum up to 77% (20 min boiling), 78% (24 hours soaking), 56% (20 min boiling), 61% (24 hours soaking) and 57% (24 hours soaking) respectively. Whereas, starch increased (33%) after boiling and decreased (24%) after soaking. Besides nutrients, shoots also contain phenol and phytosterols which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antimicrobial, cardio-protective and vasodilating properties. Total phenol content in raw shoots was 362.36 mg/100 g fresh weight in B. balcooa and 559.21 mg/100 g in B. nutans which reduced up to 60% with boiling. Phytosterol content was higher in B. balcooa (127.24 mg/100 g dry weight) than B. nutans (91.14 mg/100 g dry weight), which increased with processing up to 56%. Results revealed that boiling treatment was more efficient in retaining nutrients and phytochemicals in the shoots.

Effect of ohmic heating on stability of rice bran stored under ambient and refrigeration conditionsKaunsar Jabeen Shinwari1 and Navdeep Jindal21Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India2Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology, India

Ohmic heating is an alternative, fast heating technique for food products which takes its name from Ohm’s law. The basic principle of ohmic heating is the conversion of electrical energy into heat, resulting in internal energy generation. In the present study

ohmic heating experiments were conducted using a cylindrical cell made of Teflon to determine the electrical properties such as electrical conductivity (EC) of rice bran at 25, 30 and 35% moisture contents by applying voltage gradients varying between 56-92 V/cm. The electrical conductivity increased significantly with increase in temperature and moisture content but the variation in EC was not significant with the variation in voltage gradient. So, the ohmic heating of rice bran was conducted after adjusting moisture content to 30% using alternative current (AC) at a frequency of 50 Hz with a voltage of 440 volts in the ohmic heater of 10 kg capacity. It was observed that the EC of rice bran was 0.006-0.034 S/m with the increase in temperature from 20.8-100° C. The ohmic heated rice bran was stored at refrigeration (4-7° C) and ambient conditions (24-27° C) for a storage period of 70 days and evaluated for free fatty acid (FFA) formation. The untreated sample was taken as control. The free fatty acid content of ohmically stabilized rice bran increased very slowly during storage at both refrigeration and ambient conditions as compared to control and remained below 10%. Results showed that the ohmic heating system was good in performance and effective to prevent the increasing of FFA content.

Biochemical characterization of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase from Bacillus atrophaeus: Prospective debittering enzyme for food industryMeenu Saini and Rani GuptaUniversity of Delhi, India

Bitterness is a negative attribute associated with various food products. Thus, debittering, a process for removing the bitter component is an essential step required in food processing industries. These days various beverages called ‘health supplements’

are being sold. Amino acids like phenylalanine, valine, leucine and histidine are generally added to these nutritional supplements at high concentrations. These L- amino acids are bitter in taste however, they are essential for humans and need to be taken orally which is a crucial problem. It was found that γ-glutamylization of bitter amino acids led to debittering and added a sour taste, thus increasing the preference of the product. The γ-glutamylation of amino acids is catalyzed by GGTs. GGT uses glutamine as a γ-glutamyl donor. Till date GGT from E. coli only has been employed for the same. Thus, a new organism Bacillus atrophaeus which is considered as GRAS has been described here for its role in GGT production which can be efficiently used in debittering. This organism has not been much exploited yet and it is the first report of GGT enzyme from this organism. Enzyme production was done in specific medium and partial purification was attempted using ion exchange chromatography. Further, biochemical characterization of the partially purified enzyme was done. The enzyme was most active at pH 9.0 and the temperature optimum was 60º C. The pH and temperature stability, salt tolerance, acceptor variability, effect of different inhibitors and enzyme kinetics were also determined. For future overproduction, GGT enzyme was expressed in E. coli using pET51b vector. Biochemical characterization of the recombinant enzyme was carried out and compared to that of the wild type. Further the efficacy for removing bitterness of amino acids has been studied using this GGT enzyme as a debittering agent.

BiographyMeenu Saini is currently a PhD student working under the supervision of Professor Rani Gupta, Department of Microbiology; University of Delhi South Campus, India. Her work is on extracellular GGT enzyme produced by Bacillus atrophaeus. She has completed her Masters in Microbiology from University of Delhi, South Campus in 2012.

Quality Evaluation of Wheat-Legume Flour Blends and Their Utilization in Baked ProductsSushma Thongram#, Beenu Tanwar, Nancy Thakur* and Nistha LamsalLovely Professional University, India

In developing countries like India with increasing urbanization, the demand for processed food is increasing. Among them, baking products particularly cookies command wide popularity in both urban and rural mass. Hence, an attempt was made to develop

functionally and nutritionally improve cookies; the influence of the partial replacement of the wheat flour by legume on the quality characteristic of cookies was analyzed. The influence of the total or partial replacement of wheat flour by legume flours on the quality characteristics of cookies was analyzed. Blends containing 25 percent of the legume flour (chickpea, cowpea, pigeon pea and mungbean) and composite flour was made at ratio 60:10:10:10:10 (chickpea, cowpea, pigeon pea and mungbean) were prepared. Addition of legume flours improved chemical attributes e.g. protein from 7.94-13.42%, fat from 18.12-22.90%, ash from 3.36-3.66 and fiber from 1.40-2.10%. Similarly, calorific value also increased from 475-503.83 kcal/100 g. Results pertaining to sensory characteristics of the product were also improved significantly. Hence, in the light of the above results obtained it can be concluded that legume flours can be used for improving the protein contents of cereal-based products.

Effect of infrared heating on the infestation control of Bengal gram dhal (Cicer arietinum)Neha Negi, Padmashree A, Khan M A, Govindaraj T, Semwal A D and Sharma G KDefense Food Research Laboratory, India

Studies were undertaken to check infestation in Bengal gram dhal through IR treatment. Bengal gram dhal (un-tempered) and the one tempered to 15% moisture were IR treated at 200, 250, 300, 350, 400° C, cooled & packed in PP pouches, stored at ambient

and 37° C. After IR treatment, moisture content in un-tempered and tempered samples decreased by 18.74 & 12.44% respectively with respect to raw samples. Initially and periodically, IR treated (tempered & un-tempered) along with untreated samples were analyzed for bulk density, hector liter weight, 1000 kernel weight, water and oil absorption capacity, changes in uric acid and rheological changes. No major rheological changes were observed in the IR treated samples, except, the one treated at 400° C which showed significant changes in the pasting temperature, set back and breakdown viscosities. Untreated tempered dhal developed fungal growth after 1 month of storage while tempered IR treated ones spoiled microbially within 3 months of storage with no sign of infestation. Untreated and IR treated dhal at 200 and 250° C showed infestation after 3 & 6 months of storage respectively. Samples treated at 300, 350 and 400° C were found infestation free during 12 months of storage and their uric acid content was found within the permissible limit (<10 mg/100 g). Slight decrease in bulk density, hectoliter weight and 1000 kernel weight was observed during storage. IR treatment of dhal at 300 & 350° C can be used efficiently to check infestation of Bengal gram dhal with an extended shelf life of 12 months.

PCR-based diagnostics for genetically modified eggplant and potatoRuchi Sharma1, 2, Monika Singh1, Ashok Jain2 and Gurinderjit Randhawa1

1ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, India2Jiwaji University, India

Solanum melongena (eggplant) and S. tuberosum (potato) are the major vegetable crops, belonging to family Solanaceae. In India, Bt eggplant EE1 event expressing cry1Ac gene for resistance against fruit and shoot borer, developed by Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds

Company Private Limited was under Biosafety Research Levels-I and II field trials during 2006-2009. GM potato expressing amaranth seed albumin (AmA1) gene from Amaranthus hypochondriacus for better protein quality and rich in sulfur containing amino acids was developed by National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi. GM detection methods facilitate segregation of GM and non-GM products for labeling purposes to check unapproved GM events and to solve legal disputes, if they arise. In the present study, multiplex PCR-based diagnostics, simultaneously targeting specific transgenes, marker genes, promoters and terminators along with taxon-specific endogenous genes have been developed for Bt eggplant event EE1 with cry1Ac gene and GM potato with AmA1 gene. For further characterization of EE1 event, construct- and event-specific PCR assays have also been developed. Limit of detection of EE1 event and AmA1 gene-specific PCR assays is up to 0.01%. Quantitative TaqMan® real-time PCR assays have been developed, targeting event-specific sequence for EE1 event of eggplant and AmA1 gene in GM potato.

Health benefits of anthocyaninsSuchanda GuhaAll India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, India

Colorful anthocyanins are the predominant members of bio-flavonoids found in plants. These are typically ingested as a complex mixture of flavonoid components. Historically anthocyanins have been used in diverse health problems as remedial measure.

However, only in the last two decades some specific, measurable pharmacological properties of isolated anthocyanin pigments have been conclusively verified by in vivo, in vitro or clinical research trials. Anthocyanins have been reported as having the capacity to lower blood pressure, improve visual acuity, reduce cancer cell proliferation, inhibit tumor formation, prevent diabetes, lower the risk of CVD modulate cognitive and motor function. These are also reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activity. Health promoting effects of anthocyanins are primarily attributable to their antioxidant properties but research suggests involvement of other mechanisms of action may also responsible. Moreover, health promoting effect of anthocyanins may be the result of synergistic interactions between these and other flavonoid components. There is paucity of information on the absorption, bio-distribution and metabolism of anthocyanins and interacting flavonoid components. It is not clear if the in vitro health protective roles of anthocyanins will be displayed in vivo. Mechanism of action of anthocyanins also needs to be established. All these remain as so called “Anthocyanin enigma” and need to be addressed in the light of systematic research following in vitro anthocyanin production systems which reliably and predictably synthesized anthocyanins in a controlled environment providing a unique and useful model for in-depth research on anthocyanins to establish its specific role in disease prevention.

Bioactive compounds in traditional fermented bamboo shoots of ManipurThounaojam Premlata¹, C Nirmala¹ and M S Bisht² 1Panjab University, India2North Eastern Hill University, India

Fermentation is one of the oldest, popular and most economical forms of food preservation technologies of the world. In addition to preservation, fermentation process also enhances flavor, aroma, texture, increases digestibility and improves nutritional and

pharmacological values. Bamboo shoots form an integral part of the local diet of the North-Eastern states of India and fermented bamboo shoot products are consumed as a traditional food by the ethnic people of this region. Different ethnic groups of the region have their own methods of fermentation. In Manipur, Soibum and Soidon are the two popular ethnic fermented products prepared from juvenile bamboo shoots which are regarded as highly prized vegetable items. Soibum is the fermented thin slices of bamboo shoot while Soidon is the partially fermented whole shoot tips of small sized bamboo, Cephalostachyum capitatum. In this study, the bioactive compounds are present in the two fermented forms of bamboo shoot was conducted. It was found that Soibum and Soidon have considerable amount of phytosterol (304.73 mg/100 gm, 206.88 mg/100 gm fresh weight) and dietary fibres (7.24 gm/100 gm, 5.01 gm/100 gm fresh weight) and significant amount of total phenolic content (913.11 mg/100 gm, 946.67 mg/100 gm fresh weight) which correlates to high antioxidant properties. The anti-nutrient content in shoots during fermentation was also reduced within safe limits for human consumption. Thus these traditional fermented bamboo shoots have the potential to be utilized as a health food due to the rich source of health enhancing bioactive compounds.

1Lovely Professional University, India2Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, India

An attempt was made to study the effect of different drying temperatures on the phytochemical potential of pomegranate peel and pomegranate pomace. The peel from these sources were dried in laboratory drier at different temperature i.e., 45° C, 50° C

and 60° C respectively and were analyzed for various physicochemical and phytochemical properties. Among the different drying temperature, highest anthocyanin content (67.50 mg/100 g), crude fat (0.45%), phenolic contents (114.18 mg GAE/100 g) and antioxidant activity (69.08%) was observed in pomegranate peel dried at 50o C irrespective to the source of peel. Whereas, ascorbic acid content (7.95 mg/100 g), tannins (291.06 mg TAE/100 g), carbohydrates (80.44%) and energy value (361.93 kcal) was highest in pomegranate peel dried at 45o C irrespective to the source of peel. The effect of drying temperatures on the carotenoids, ash, crude protein content and nitrogen content was non-significant. Among the different sources of peel, highest ascorbic acid (6.20 mg/100 g), carbohydrates (79.75%), crude fat (0.40%), energy value (352.56 kcal), phenolic contents (105.24 mg GAE/100 g) was observed in pomegranate peel powder. Whereas, highest anthocyanin content (64.75 mg/100 g), antioxidant activity (68.99%), tannin content (238.32 mg TAE/100 g) was observed in pomegranate pomace powder irrespective to the drying temperature. The effect of sources of peel was on carotenoids, ash, crude protein, nitrogen content was non-significant. Therefore, it is concluded that on the basis of the physicochemical and phytochemical properties, drying of the peel from different sources at 50o C was best, whereas, among these two sources, results were almost comparable which ensure a better utilization of the waste from pomegranate processing industry for extraction and utilization of the phytochemicals in food industry.

Effectiveness of different processing methods in preserving underlying bioactive potential of bamboo shootsVivek Sharma and C NirmalaPanjab University, India

Bamboo plant, apart from its significant contribution towards social, cultural and economical upliftment of the rural communities worldwide is also known for its tremendous food value. Bamboo shoot, the young, soft and edible part of this gigantic grass along

with being highly nutritious is also known to exert several positive effects on human health, possibly due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Present work highlights the amount of bioactive compounds namely phenolic compounds and phytosterols in the shoots of Dendrocalamus membranaceous. Also, effect of different processing methods on these bioactive compounds was also accessed. Results showed that in fresh, unprocessed shoots, the amount of total phenols was 1571 mg/100 g; the amount of total phytosterol was 201.34 mg/100 g. The processing methods which were employed in the present investigation include boiling (20 minutes and 30 minutes) and water soaking (12 hours and 24 hours). The result showed that maximum retention of total phenol was in case of 12 hours soaked shoots (65.24%) while the least was in 20 minutes boiled shoots (20.26%). The retention of phenolic compounds was found to decrease with increase in processing duration in case of soaking (65.24% after 12 hours and 38.89% after 24 hours) but it increased upon boiling (20.26% after 20 minutes and 38.51% after 30 minutes). The phytosterol content increased with processing and maximum content was found in case of 30 minutes boiled shoots (333.04 mg/100 g). Further validation of these processing methods is required so as to popularize the bamboo shoots as a viable option for the extraction of bioactive compounds.

Nanomaterials in food packagingArunkumar PanneerselvamCSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute, India

Nanoscience and nanotechnology has revolutionized various fields from electronics, medical therapeutics, energy and communication to name a few. Despite this excitement and the abundance of funding being poured into this research area

worldwide, the application of nanomaterials in food industry is still in the nascent stage. Although, the incorporation of nanomaterials in food packaging will lead to the improvement of mechanical and barrier properties, there are concerns about the possible migration of nanomaterials into the food products and impact of the packaging material on the environment once it is disposed by the consumer. So, it is prudent to employ nanomaterials obtained from natural sources which are either non-toxic or synthetic materials which are certified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for food packaging applications. Curcumin and zinc oxide nanomaterials belong to the former and latter categories and both have excellent antimicrobial properties. This talk will explore the potential use of nanomaterials in food packaging. In addition, some interesting results on the synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials by bottom-up chemical approaches from single-source precursors and the incorporation of as synthesized ZnO nanomaterials to the food packaging materials will also be discussed.

Development of health oriented shelf-stable functional poultry meat finger chipsAshim Kumar BiswasICAR-Central Avian Research Institute, India

Now-a-days, the leading causes of death in the world are due to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. It has been estimated that around 32% deaths due to these diseases could be avoided by dietary manipulations. Dietary intake of plant fibre through

meat substituted with this ingredient may reduce risk of major gastrointestinal disorders including inflammatory bowel diseases, constipation, obesity, diabetes and also plasma and LDL cholesterol. Reduction of fat content and replacement of sodium with potassium in meat products may also reduce chances of coronary heart diseases and hypertension to the human. But all meat food products are highly perishable in nature and need refrigeration facilities for their preservation. Indeed, a study was undertaken to develop low fat, low sodium and fibre enriched shelf-stable poultry meat finger chips which can be stored without refrigeration facilities. A total three treatments were assigned in which oat fibre (flour) was incorporated at 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5% for T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The treated samples also contained 7% fat and 0.15 M NaCl+0.08 M KCl (w/w). The control sample contained standardized formulation (fat, 10%; NaCl 0.26 M, w/w). Products were prepared by cold extrusion method following microwave cooking for 3-4 min. Results indicated that treated samples had significantly (p<0.05) higher emulsion stability, cooking yield and protein content but lower emulsion and cooked product pH and fat content. As expected, fibre content was highest in T3 sample. In regards to sensory attributes, T2 sample liked most by the sensory panel members because it was rated maximum scores for appearance and color, texture and flavor attributes. Finally, it was concluded that reduction of fat and sodium levels and addition of oat fibre up to 3.5% could have beneficial effect on quality and acceptability of meat finger chips.

Kodo millet: A boon to food industry and healthC A KalpanaAvinashilingam University, India

Millet is one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purpose. India ranks 1st and 11th place in top global consumption and per-capita consumption of millets respectively. Millets are truly miracle grains

grown on the most marginalized soils with less irrigation and are store houses of nutrients. Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum) belongs to the family Poaceae. Kodo millet has 38 percent of dietary fibre which is highest among cereals, the fat content ranging from 1.1 to 3.4 g which has higher poly unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). The mineral content (4.9%) is also higher than rice and wheat. Kodo millet serves as a nutraceutical and functional food ingredient in health promotion and disease risk reduction. Studies indicated that consumption of 45 g of kodo millet flour in the form of kozhukattai, a South Indian snack reduced the body fat among obese children and incorporation of kodo millet at 30 and 50 percent level in recipes such as idli, chappathi, pongal, puttu, dosai, adai, idiappam, poli, payasam soup, kozhukattai, laddoo, biscuit and cutlet were acceptable. Millets can blend very easily with common staple foods without any pronounced off- flavors. They have mighty potential to be included in traditional and novel foods. There is a need to provide millet based food products in the form of ready to use grains, convenience foods or mixes to meet the demands of the present day consumers.

Location and development of cold storage infrastructure for potato through remote sensing and GIS based applications in Banaskantha district of GujaratDeepak B Hiremath1, Deepa Hiremath2, Arup Dasgupta3 and Sanjay Chaudhary1

1Ahmedabad University, India2Navsari Agricultural University, India3Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geo-Informatics, India

Potato is a major cash crop of Gujarat. The state ranks fifth in potato production in India with Banskantha district accounting for more than 50 percent of the state’s total production. It is one of the main foods for majority of the population as it is cheap with

high nutritional value. Nearly 80 percent of potato in Gujarat is grown in winter but its demand remains consistent throughout the year. Hence, priority needs to be given to develop post harvest infrastructure like cold storage, food processing, packaging etc., to ensure continuity in supply all round the year. Though, 90 percent of potato cold storages are located in potato growing regions, it is still far below the requirement. The present study was undertaken for potato in Banaskantha district to analyze the demand and supply situation, the effect of price and evolve an optimum plan to locate cold storages using satellite remote sensing (RS) data and Geographic Information System (GIS). Resources at -1 LISS-III and IRS 1C LISS-III (23 m resolution) images were taken for study purpose. The major factors accounting for potato price instability were weather, production, infrastructural factors such as service area and location of cold storages. Farmers faced huge losses due to inadequate storages facilities. The study revealed the need to increase the number of cold storages particularly over a larger area nearer to farms rather than to concentrate them in a particular town. It would help in generating revenue for both the government and private sectors as well as circumvent losses due to transportation.

Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria for sustainable production of horticultural crops in replant sitesDeepshikha ThakurChitrakara University, India

Replant problem is a serious problem and a common cause of poor growth and production of horticultural crops planted in old orchard sites. It is distributed worldwide and is often encountered in establishing new orchard sites. The consequent

decrease in crop production and growth is also referred to as specific replant disease (SRD). It is a complex disease syndrome whose etiology is still unclear but may relate to complex number of reasons one of which is the excess and imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers. Intemperate use of agrochemicals has deteriorated the soil health and quality leading to reduction in the horticultural crop production. Thus the negative impacts of green revolution have increased the need of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria for sustainable agriculture. Improvement in agricultural sustainability requires an understanding of microbial diversity as it is considered important and useful to arrive at measures that can act as indicators of soil quality and plant productivity. Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria are a group of bacteria that actively colonize plant roots and increase the plant growth and yield by various direct and indirect mechanisms such as phosphate solubilization, production of plant growth regulators viz., auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins, bio-control activities like antifungal activity, protease production, siderophore production and HCN production. The use of PGPR in agriculture plant growth benefits due to the addition of PGPRs includes increase in germination rate, root and shoot growth, yield, leaf area, chlorophyll content, tolerance to drought and shoot and root weight, apart from providing an attractive way to replace chemical fertilizers, pesticides and supplements.

conducted by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute-aims at the development of new cultivars which combine the characteristics of extra-early maturity along with better berry quality traits in terms of total soluble solids, characteristics berry color, berry size and yield. The basic germplasm used in the crossing program was consisted of V. vinifera varieties like Perlette, Pusa Urvashi, Pearl of Csaba, Beauty Seedless, Bharat Early, Banqui Abyad and Hur. Breeding methods adopted includes modern techniques (embryo-rescue) as well as traditional approaches. An efficient embryo-recue technique is however critical for breeding seedless grapes when using stenospermocarpic female parents. It resulted into development of dozens of hybrids found promising in terms of extra-early maturity as well as berry quality. As a result four promising hybrids viz., ER-R2P36(Pearl of Csaba×Beauty Seedless), ER-R2P4(Pearl of Csaba×Perlette), ER-R2P20(Pusa Urvashi×Perlette) and R1P14(Cardinal×Beauty seedless) were found to be promising in terms of extra-early maturity (last week of May) under Delhi conditions as well as bunch and berry quality traits. Out of these four hybrids, ER-R2P36 was found most promising in terms of extra-early maturity (last week of May), high total soluble solid content (22.2 ºBrix), mild acidity (0.5%), medium berry weight (2.1 g), medium bunch weight (355.2 g) of seedless black colored berry. Therefore, outcome from this breeding program is significant for grape growing under subtropical regions of North Indian plains.

Application of nanotechnology for food and nutritionM S ThakurUniversity of Mysore, India

Assessment of food safety and nutritional quality of food are the prime aspects in modern times around the globe. About three million premature deaths occur every year due to contaminated food (WHO). Many fatal incidences have occurred in our country

recent past due to contaminated food served in the mid-day meal. These incidences have triggered an urgent need to develop field applicable analytical systems for food contaminants and adulterants with rapidity and high specificity. Novel bio-sensing systems are emerging as one of the advanced diagnostic tools to ensure food safety and quality. Applications of nanotechnology and biosensors in areas of food, health, environment and defense have shown increasing market potential in recent years. Current nanobiotechnological approach in the field of bio-analytical methods has envisaged the development of simple and reliable bio-sensing tools with the help of novel strategies such as Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Metal Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF), Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) etc. Commonly used methods for the detection of pathogens, toxins and environmental hazardous materials are mainly based on ELISA, PCR, morphological and biochemical characterization, spectroscopy, ICP-MS, HPLC etc. Though these methods have conventional and classical approach towards analytic detection are limited mainly by their long preparation time, requirement of skilled personnel and huge economical investment. During presentation development of nanobiosensors for detection of food borne pathogens, toxins, nutraceutical will be discussed. Further, other applications of nanoparticles for food processing will also be discussed.

The role of signaling molecules in postharvest life of fruits and vegetablesMohammed Wasim SiddiquiBihar Agricultural University, India

Fresh fruits and vegetables have a short postharvest life and are prone to postharvest losses due to mechanical injury, physiological causes and decay. Senescence is a vital aspect of fruit life cycles and directly affects quality and resistance to pathogens. Generation

of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during postharvest primarily leads the oxidative damage in fruits and accelerates the ageing/senescence. Therefore, delaying ripening and senescence is of utmost importance to be considered during postharvest. Several efforts have been suggested to enhance the shelf life and quality of fresh fruits and vegetables. The safety concerns, from the environmental and consumers’ point of view have restricted the use of synthetic chemicals which in turn encouraged scientific research to develop new technologies based on natural products to preserve the produce quality. The endogenous signaling molecules such as salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate and nitric oxide play important roles in regulating/enhancing defense responses during postharvest biotic and abiotic stresses. These signaling molecules have been identified to delay ripening process by inhibiting ethylene/CO2 production and microbial infection and maintain postharvest quality. So, using these eco-friendly molecules could be an effective option to curtail huge postharvest losses by maintaining the postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables. The present article focuses on the recent advances in exploring the mechanisms of signaling molecules in regulating fruit senescence and microbial infection.

Rheological and nutritional properties of multi cereal and legume incorporated extrudatesNarayanasamy Sangeetha and Vasantha Kumari PPondicherry University, India

Food extrusion is a versatile HTST process and is an established practice for continuous manufacture of traditional and new products. Legumes are prime source of plant proteins, calories and other nutrients. Cereals are lower in lysine content and on

contrary legumes have higher lysine content so act as complementary to each other. The compact structure resulting from extrusion process can lead to a dense protein network reducing the availability of starch granules to attack by alpha-amylase and delays in vitro starch hydrolysis. Rheological and nutritional properties of cereal and legume based extrudates incorporated with selected cereals and legumes made using twin screw hot extruder at 100% levels were studied. There was a decreasing trend of all viscosity properties and degree of gelatinization with increase in legumes incorporation level. With increase in legumes incorporation, protein content showed an increasing trend and fat, fiber, ash content and sensory score remain almost same. Thus, cereals and legumes incorporated extrudates have showed a promising trend for the production of low cost expanded snacks and instant flour.

Exploiting the potential of miRNAs in sustaining rice yields under the changing environmentNeeti Sanan MishraInternational Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, India

The microRNAs (miRNAs) are recognized as key modulators of gene expression in plant growth and development. Increasing evidence supports the fact that miRNAs act as genetic buffers in plant gene regulation providing protection against various

abiotic and biotic stress conditions. We adopted the approach of Next Generation Sequencing (Illumina) technology for comparative profiling of miRNAs under various stress physiologies across different tissues in rice varieties. This revealed the expression patterns of several known and novel miRNAs. The expression patterns of selected stress deregulated miRNAs were experimentally validated. The targets of these miRNAs were also predicted and validated. Time kinetics studies helped to capture the narrow windows of miRNA target correlations indicating their role in tissue development. This data was compiled and developed as a web server, ARMOUR, which is now being used to select miRNAs for functional analysis. The studies have indicated novel outcomes that can be utilized to prepare “smart plants” which will be an enduring step to fight against abiotic stresses mediated decline in crop yields in rice.

Biotechnological interventions in the utilization of agro-industrial residues for organic acid productionParmjit S PanesarSant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, India

Agriculture and food processing industries produce large volumes of waste/residues annually worldwide which are causing serious disposal and environmental concerns. However, effective utilization of waste could be considered as valuable if appropriate

biotechnological interventions are used for the development of novel products which are environmental as well as cost effective. The agro-industrial wastes are generally rich in fermentable sugars which can be easily utilized by the micro-organisms and subsequently converted into high value products. Organic acids are examples of such valuable product of the fermentation which can be produced on the agro-industrial waste. Whey, molasses, starch waste, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, cereal bran, citric pulp etc are some of the commonly used agro-industrial residues for organic acids production. The main organic acids which can be produced through biotechnological route from these by-products are lactic, citric, malic, acetic and gluconic acid. Several micro-organisms possess the ability to convert agro-industrial residues into organic acids with high yields. Among them, Lactobacillus sp. and Rhizopus sp. are known for lactic acid; Aspergillus sp. and Candida sp. for citric acid and Acetobacter for acetic acid and gluconic acid production. Organic acids are currently exploited as starting material for the synthesis of several compounds used in pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries.

Dietary transition a challenge for chronic non communicable diseases preventionPoonam KhannaMaharishi Markandeshwar University Mullana, India

Global diet is going through a remarkable transition. The industrial revolution in the last 200 years has introduced radical changes in methods of food production, processing, storage and distribution. The intakes of fats, refined sugars and salt have increased

substantially resulting in an imbalanced nutrition and over nutrition. At the same time chronic non communicable diseases are becoming more common under the influence of westernization and globalization. The speed of transition and the factors influencing it vary from country to country and within country depending on the physical environment, social, economic and cultural characteristics of the society. The foremost health outcome of the global nutrition transition will be an increased prevalence of obesity across the world. According to WHO in 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight, of these over 600 million were obese. Obesity is strongly linked to degenerative, NCDs such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke and hypertension. Therefore in present paper, an attempt have been made to highlight the factors associated with dietary transition and the recommendations made for overcoming the challenges faced for chronic non communicable diseases prevention.

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis in the Indian taro (Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum (L) Schott) using morphological characters and molecular markersRupsanatan MandalUttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, India

Taro has much importance in ensuring food security in earning foreign currency as being a cash crop and also as a means for rural development. Therefore, germplasm characterization is thus an important link between the conservation and utilization

of plant genetic resources. Hence, in depth studies based on morphological and molecular markers, e.g., RAPD, AFLP, ISSR and SSR will help in understanding the genetic diversity of germplasm as well as identification, conservation and utilization of authentic and superior crop materials. In this study 76 taro accessions collected from different parts of India were evaluated and characterized at agro-morphological and molecular level leading to elimination of duplicates and successful establishment of a core collection approximately having 20% (15) genotypes. Population structure analysis employing different population genetics components viz., Shannon’s diversity index (H), Simpson’s diversity index (D), Nei’s genetic diversity, Nei’s genetic distance, Fixation indices (Fst) and out crossing rate (t) revealed high level of heterozygosity and gene flow. To overcome the genetic erosion of the population this knowledge is useful for future breeding theme of scheme in taro. Identified seven genotypes having leaf blight tolerance, low acridity, high tuber protein and high yield potentiality are suitable for consumption and cultivation. Finally, DUS characterization of selected genotypes made the work meaningful. DUS criteria along with developed digital morphometrics have immense importance in registration of crop accessions under the PPV and FR Act for obtaining Plant Breeders and Farmers’ Rights.

Genetic engineering approaches for nutritional improvement of cereal cropsSalvinder SinghAssam Agricultural University, India

More than 60% of the world population suffers from iron deficiency and over 30% of the global population has zinc deficiency. Iron and zinc are two important nutrients in the human diet. Their deficiencies in humans lead to a variety of health-related

problems and are prevalent in populations depending on non-diversified plant-based diets. Iron and zinc biofortification of cereals is considered a cost-effective solution to overcome the malnutrition of these minerals. Biofortification aims at either increasing accumulation of these minerals in edible parts, endosperm or to increase their bioavailability. Additionally, it will also enhance the agronomic efficiency of crops on mineral poor soils. A multipronged strategy towards enhancing mineral content of cereal grains should involve increased uptake of minerals from soil, enhanced partitioning towards grain and improved sequestration in the edible tissues of grains. Regarding genetic strategies, quantitative genetic studies show the existence of ample variation for iron and zinc accumulation as well as inhibitors or promoters of their bioavailability in cereal grains. However, the genes underlying this variation have rarely been identified and never used in breeding programs. Genetically modified cereals developed by modulation of genes involved in iron and zinc homeostasis or genes influencing bioavailability have shown promising results. However, iron and zinc concentration were quantified in the whole grains during most of the studies whereas a significant proportion of them is lost during milling. This makes it difficult to realistically assess the effectiveness of the different strategies. With increased understanding of mineral uptake and transport mechanisms in plants, it is becoming ever more possible to engineer biofortified crop plants with the ultimate goal of overcoming hidden hunger.

Power ultrasound: A novel way of food processingSantosh S Chopde, Sheikh Adil and Chavhan BhaveshCollege of Dairy Technology, India

Ultrasound is composed of sound waves with frequency beyond the limit of human hearing. By regulating frequency, it can be utilized in many industrial applications including food. The sound ranges employed can be divided into high frequency, low

energy diagnostic ultrasound and low frequency, high energy power ultrasound. Applications involving high power ultrasound are expanding rapidly as ultrasonic intensification opportunities are identified in new fields. This is facilitated through new technological developments and an evolution of current systems to tackle challenging problems. High power ultrasound induces mechanical, physical and chemical/biochemical changes through cavitation which supports many food processing operations such as extraction, crystallization, drying, emulsification and inactivation of pathogenic bacteria on food contact surfaces.

Development of anti-hyperglycemic poly herbal juice supplement (ADJ6)Changam Sheela SasikumarFrontier Lifeline & Dr. K. M. Cherian Heart Foundation, India

Diabetes is a heterogeneous metabolic disorder characterized by altered carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism which causes hyperglycemia resulting from insufficient insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Synthetic medicines are available to control

and to treat diabetic patients but total recovery from diabetes has not been reported up to this date. Alternative to these synthetic agents many herbal plants with hypoglycemic properties are known from across the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed 21,000 plants which are used for medicinal purposes around the world. Current research around the world is focused on finding an alternative source of treatment from natural resources for diabetic management apart from the available synthetic medicines. Ancient Indian Medicine (AIM), a contribution of our ancestors offers plenty of resources to not only control the diseases but also has the ability to reduce the impact of the chronic ailments with minimal or no side effects. AIM also reminds us to look into our eating processes where it highlights the main aspect “FOOD as MEDICINE and MEDICINE as FOOD”. Our aim was to develop an anti-diabetic formulation from edible food materials which can be used as a nutraceutical. Various in vitro assays were carried out including its inhibitory effect against digestive enzymes alpha amylase and glucosidase which are essential for controlling diabetes. Further the formulation was also tested for its anti-hyperglycemic activity against standard animal model which proved that the formulation was very effective in not only controlling the blood glucose levels but also offers protection against diabetes associated damages to various organs such as pancreas, liver, kidney and pancreas. The formulation also renders a significant protection against free radical-induced damage also. The results obtained clearly elucidate that the formulation is effective against hyperglycemia, free radicals and associated pathological damage. Thus the poly herbal formulation can be used as an oral supplement for diabetes in addition to the standard anti-hyperglycemic drugs. Further, we aim to commercialize the product to benefit the people and to add value to the Ancient Indian Medicine since the product is 100% derived naturally.

Microbial carotenoids and its applicationsShivalkar Yadav KTelangana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Limited, India

Color of a food substance is important to indicate its freshness and safety that are also indices of good aesthetic and sensorial values. In the recent years, coloring of food with pigments produced from natural sources is of worldwide interest and is

gaining importance. Naturally derived pigments are represented by carotenoids, flavonoids and some tetrapyrroles. Lately, interest in synthetically derived pigments has decreased due to their toxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic properties and attention towards microbial sources has increased as a safe alternative. Several species of algae, fungi and bacteria have been exploited commercially for the production of natural pigments. In this Carotenoids represent one of the most widely distributed and structurally diverse classes of natural pigments. Carotenoids are ubiquitous pigments synthesized by plants, fungi, algae and bacteria. Microorganisms can serve as sources of carotenoids, the most widespread group of naturally occurring pigments. The carotenoid production through chemical synthesis or extraction from plants is limited by low yields that results in high production costs. This leads to research of microbial production of carotenoids as an alternative that has shown better yields than other aforementioned. In addition, the microbial production of carotenoids could be a better option about costs, looking for alternatives like the use of low-cost substrates as agro-industrials wastes. Agro-industrial wastes provide carbon and nitrogen source necessary and others elements to carry out the microbial metabolism diminishing the production costs and avoiding pollution from these agro-industrial wastes to the environment. Industrially, carotenoids are used in pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals and animal feed additives as well as colorants in cosmetics and foods. Scientific interest in dietary carotenoids has increased in recent years because of their beneficial effects on human health such as lowering the risk of cancer and enhancement of immune system function which are attributed to their antioxidant potential and also to the growth of certain areas such as agriculture, especially aquaculture and poultry industry.

Conservation agriculture: A new paradigm of resource management for food security and sustainable agricultureUmakant Behera1 and A R Sharma2

1Indian Agricultural Research Institute, India2ICAR-Directorate of Weed Science Research, India

Conservation Agriculture (CA) technologies involve minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover through crop residues or cover crops and crop rotations for achieving higher productivity. Conventional agriculture views the farm as a factory to

harness maximum outputs with maximum inputs such as pesticides, seed, fertilizer and fuel. Intensive agriculture and excessive use of external inputs have led to degradation of soil, water and genetic resources; widespread soil erosion; nutrient mining; depleting water table and eroding biodiversity. These global concerns are threatening the food security and livelihood opportunities of farmers, especially the poor and under-privileged. About 10 million ha of good quality land is lost annually for agricultural uses globally, due to soil degradation processes which adversely affect agricultural production and profitability. The major emerging problems due to the adoption of conventional agriculture systems in India are as follows: Declining factor productivity, declining ground water table, development of salinity hazards, deterioration in soil fertility, deterioration in soil physical environment, biotic interferences and declining biodiversity, high energy requirements, reduced availability of protective foods, air and ground water pollution and stagnating farm incomes. Issues of conservation have assumed importance in view of widespread resource degradation problems and the need to reduce production costs, increase profitability and make agriculture more competitive. Following developments have led to a change in our thinking to adopt modified methods for cultivation of crops aimed at improving productivity and resource-use efficiency: Availability of new farm machinery, availability of herbicides for weed control, non-availability of labor, increasing production costs, energy crisis, erosion losses, pollution hazards, decreasing soil fertility, soil structure, reduction in organic manuring/green manuring, residue burning, low water and nutrient-use efficiency and thereby decreasing factor productivity and increase in cropping intensity. Adequate food production in the future can only be achieved through the implementation of sustainable growing practices that minimize environmental degradation and preserve resources while maintaining high-yielding, profitable systems. For this, conservation agriculture (CA) is recognized as potential way to achieve sustainability by improving the biological functions of the agro-ecosystem with limited mechanical practices and judicious use of chemical inputs. Globally, about 125 million ha area is practiced following the concepts and technologies for conservation agriculture and the major countries being USA (26.5 million ha), Brazil (25.5 million ha), Argentina (25.5 ha), Canada (13.5 million ha) and Australia (17.0 million ha). India has taken a momentum in practicing conservation agriculture technology in about 1.5 million ha under the rice-wheat system in the Indo-Gangetic plains. The tillage system is gradually undergoing a paradigm shift from frequent tillage operations before sowing crops called as conventional tillage (CT), to no-tillage operation before sowing a crop called as Zero Tillage (ZT). The zero tillage technology in rice-wheat cropping system is now foreshadowing nothing less than the end of an age-old concept, popularly known as ‘more you till, more you eat’. The need of the hour now is to infuse new technologies for further enhancing and sustaining the productivity as well as to tap new sources of growth in agricultural productivity.

DNA barcode assisted labeling of marine and inland fishery resources, an essential step towards the blue revolution and seafood safety in IndiaVivek Rohidas VartakDr. B.S. Konkan Agricultural University, India

The aquatic resources are one of the central amongst the food resources as they fetch foreign revenue through export. These groups comprise numerous species but only few of them are pricy with huge demand due to quality and tasty meat. The difference in

prices of these foods is found to be the prime reason for the mislabeling as low cost could be substituted with the high cost food. Such activity increases the chance of price fraud as inferior meat may serve on par with high priced meat. Apart from this, mislabeling leads to threats to ecology, biodiversity and fisheries resource management of every nation. However, the manifestation of mislabeling is not under control due to the multipart seafood sources on world-wide level. Even if the seafood inspection is ruled out, the assessment of the processed forms is difficult owing to loss of the morphological characters and appearance. In order to overcome such problems a concrete method of inspection and regulations are required in India which could discern the seafood at live as well as its processed forms. The pragmatic method to identify and label the inland as well as marine fishery resources is developed by us utilizing the DNA barcode tool. However, strict regulations are required to be implemented to make this procedure as a mandatory practice in India. This would be one of the prime steps to protect consumer benefit, biodiversity and aquatic resources instigating blue revolution in India.
