Sugarcane plays an important role in world economy. It provides raw material for the second largest agro-based industry after textile. Nutritional value of sugarcane juice per serving (28.35 g) contain Energy-111.13 KJ (26.56 kcal), carbohydrates-27.51 g, protein-0.27 g, Calcium 11.23 mg (1 %), Iron 0.37 mg (3 %), Potassium 41.96 mg (1 %), Sodium17.01 mg (1 %) ...

The present study entitled “ Morpho- molecular characterization of cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] was conducted at the Departments of Olericulture and Plant Biotechnology, College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2010-2011. The objectives were to assess the genetic diversity of the cluster bean germplasm both at morphological and molecular level....

Eggplant, also known as brinjal is one of the most popular vegetable across the world. It ranked as one of the top ten vegetable amongst 120 different vegetables having antioxidant capacity. It contains powerful antioxidants like ascorbic acid and phenolic along with other nutrients like protein, carbohydrate and dietary fibre. In the present investigation, Mat...

Nutritional and anti-nutritional profiling of lentil (Lens culinaris) cultivars of Assam and West Bengal were studied from dehusked seed flour. Cultivars were collected from Regional Agricultural Research Station, Assam Agricultural University, Shillongoni (cultivars of Assam); Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalya; Regional Research Station, Uttar Banga Krishi Viswa...

Edible insects are considered as underutilized foods that offer significant potential to meet the future global food demands. Insects, traditionally were an integral element of human diets in nearly 100 countries of the world, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Edible insects provide satisfactory energy, protein, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsatura...

The present investigation aims at evaluating the proximate composition of grains of twelve amaranth cultivars. In addition, the nitrate reductase (NR) activity from the leaves of amaranth plants was standardized by an in vivo method. The genetic potential of NR activity in twelve amaranth cultivars was also estimated. Further, it was desired to know the distr...
