ArticleItem Open Access AZOLLA- AN ALTERNATE AND SUSTAINABLE FEED FOR LIVESTOCK(2015) Kathirvelan, C; Banupriya, S; Purushothaman, MR; TANUVASAzolla is very rich in proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin B12, Beta Carotene), growth promoter intermediaries and minerals like calcium, phosphorous, potassium, ferrous, copper, magnesium etc. Azolla, on a dry weight basis, is constituted of 25-35% protein content, 10-15% mineral content and 7-10%, a combination of amino acids, bio-active substances and biopolymers. Carbohydrate and oil content in Azolla is very low. Thus the biocomposition of Azolla, makes it one of the most economic and efficient feed substitutes for livestock. Moreover, Azolla can be easily digested by livestock, owing to its high protein and low lignin content. Azolla can also be fed to sheep, goat, pig and rabbit as feed substitute.ArticleItem Open Access Effect of milk fat replacement with linseed oil rice bran wax organogel on physico chemical characteristics of dietetic ice cream(Indian Dairy Association, 2017) Banupriya, S; Elago, A; Karthikeyan, N; Kathirvelan, C; TANUVASAn experiment has been carried out to study the milk fat replacement with linseed oil rice bran wax organogel on physico chemical characteristics of ice cream. Linseed oil rice bran wax organogel was used at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 per cent as a milk fat replacer to develop dietetic ice cream. Linseed oil rice bran wax organogel was obtained by combining 10 per cent (wt) of RBW and 90 per cent (wt) of linseed oil. Ice cream formulation was comprised of 12 % SNF, fat 10 %, sugar 15 %, stabilizer 0.5% and 36% Total solids. The mean value of pH in the control ice cream mix was 6.39 and in the treatment groups ranged from 6.36 to 6.38. The titrable acidity of different treatment ice creams ranged from 0.214 to 0.216 per cent and in control ice cream 0.214 per cent. Similarly the viscosity of the control ice cream mix was 66.12 and in the treatment groups ranged from 61.45 to 65.82. Mean value of overrun in the control ice cream was 37.63 per cent and it ranged from 26.98 to 34.55 per cent in different treatment ice creams. The mean whipping ability of control ice cream was 46.95 per cent and it ranged from 38.49 to 45.14 per cent in the treatments. Hence it can be concluded that milk fat replacement with linseed oil rice bran wax organogel did not have any impact on pH and titrable acidity. However, viscosity, whipping ability and overrun are not influenced by incorporation linseed oil organogel up to 2.5 per cent and beyond this level of incorporation, a decreasing trend was noticed.ArticleItem Open Access STUDY ON INCIDENCE OF MAMMARY TISSUE CARCINOGENESIS IN CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID FED FEMALE WISTER RATS.(2016) Banupriya, S; Kathirvelan, C; Tyagi, AK; TANUVASA study was carried out to investigate anti carcinogeneic effect of Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding on mammary gland carcinogenesis in rats. Female wistar rats of 21 day’s old were taken for the study and animals were randomly divided into 2 groups of thirty animals in each group. In group I, animals were fed with soybean oil based diet where as group II animals were fed with CLA ghee based diet, respectively. Soybean oil and CLA ghee were included at 10 per cent level in the animal diet. Feeding of test diets were started on the day of weaning. Animals were given 7, 12 dimethyl benz (a) anthracene (DMBA) at 5 mg per animal as single dose by oral intubation at the age of 55th day and test diets were continued upto 32 weeks after DMBA administration. At the end of 32 weeks, all animals were sacrificed, tumour data recorded and histopathology done. Tumour incidence in group I and III were 83.33 and 46.07 per cent respectively. Histopathology revealed fibroma, adenoma, fibro adenoma in all the groups whereas in group I showed adenocarcinoma. Therefore, results of present study showed the conjugated linoleic acid not only inhibited benign type tumour but malignant tumour as well.
