    ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS TOWARDS HOME SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAMME AND THEIR ASPIRATIONS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, 2015-06) JITUMONI NEOG; Dr. D. A. NITHYA SHREE
    The study was conducted at College of Rural Home Science, Dharwad under the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka. The ex-post facto research design was adopted in order to study the attitude of students towards Home Science degree programme and their educational, social, occupational and economic aspirations. A total of 411 students had enrolled in undergraduate, post–graduate and Ph.D. programme during the academic year 2014-15. The data was collected from 407 students. Findings of the study revealed that 71.01 per cent had favourable attitude where as 28.25 per cent had more favourable attitude and only 0.74 per cent had less favourable attitude towards Home Science degree programme. It was also observed that age of the respondents and their fathers’ occupation was significantly correlated with their attitude towards Home Science degree programme. Regarding educational aspirations, majority of the undergraduate students (59.10%) wanted to do masters in Home Science (M.H.Sc.), 64.70 per cent of the post–graduate students wanted to do Ph.D and among Ph.D students, 66.66 per cent wanted to do post–graduate diploma. In case of social aspiration, 29.58 per cent and 47.22 per cent of the students from undergraduate and post–graduate level aspired to develop the rural communities. With regard to Ph.D. students, equal percentage of the students (29.17%) aspired to develop the rural communities, to get social recognition and to develop the nation. With reference to occupational aspirations, most of them preferred administrative jobs in the government departments with a monthly salary between Rs.20,001–30,000/-. There was a significant difference between the levels of educational, social, occupational and economic aspirations among UG, PG and Ph.D. students.

    EFFECT OF DEHYDRATION ON ANTIOXIDANTS IN AMLA
    (University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, 2015-01) SHAMBHAVI S. DANGI; Dr.PUSHPA BHARATI
    An investigation was undertaken to study the effect of dehydration on antioxidants in Amla. Varieties viz., NA-7, Kanchan, Krishna and Banarasi market sample were selected. Fruits were processed into different forms (segments, cubes and gratings), pretreatments employed were blanching, sulphitation, blanching with sulphitation and untreated fruits served as control. Cabinet and hot-air oven drier were used for dehydration. The fruits of Banarasi market sample had maximum length (87.38mm), diameter (96.41mm), fruit weight (46.15g), weight of seed (1.89g), pulp (42.30g), pulp to seed ratio (22.80), volume (36ml) and bulk density (1.35). While highest moisture and titratable acidity were recorded in Banarasi market sample (88.02%, 2.43 %), total soluble solids was observed in Krishna (9.58°B). pH of fruits ranged from 1.2-2.0. NA-7 recorded higher amounts of ascorbic acid (624.44mg/100g), total, reducing and non-reducing sugars (11.04, 8.25 and 2.40mg/100g respectively). The untreated amla gratings of Kanchan variety required minimum time (13.2h) to dry completely in hot-air oven and contained maximum dehydrated moisture content (9.84%). Maximum yield was registered with Banarasi market sample (17.76g/100g) without any pretreatment in the form of cubes when dried in hot-air oven. Rehydration ratio, rehydrated moisture content and coefficient of restoration were higher in hot-air oven dried, blanched and sulphited Banarasi market sample (12.98, 95.95% and 2.14%) in the form of gratings. Without any treatment, when Banarasi market sample was dried in cabinet drier gratings recorded higher amounts of relative reconstitution capacity (33.64%). The Banarasi market sample when dried without any treatment in hot-air oven in the form of cubes recorded higher Ascorbic acid (2147.92mg/100g), while the sample dried after blanching and sulphitation recorded maximum titratable acidity (14.33%). Segments of Banarasi market sample dried in hot-air oven after blanching and sulphitation registered higher tannin (20.24%) content whereas, sulphitation alone recorded maximum phenolic content (109.33µg).

    NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION - A STRATEGY FOR MANAGEMENT OF KIDNEY STONES
    (University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, 2014-10) VANISHRI K. UMARJI; Dr.USHA MALAGI
    Kidney stone disease is among the most painful and prevalent urologic disorders. An investigation was undertaken with an objective to assess the nutritional status, food habits of kidney stone patients and to develop nutrition education material and to assess its impact on management of kidney stones. About 100 kidney stone patients were selected from local hospitals of Hubli - Dharwad. Educational intervention was given to 30 selected kidney stone patients and equal number of age and gender matched controls were not given any intervention. Nutrition education was given for 2 months on different aspects of kidney stones and its management through power point presentations, flash cards and booklet. Knowledge and diet related modification and practices were assessed before and after the intervention. The results of the study revealed that, sedentary life style, higher body weight, less fluid intake, higher consumption of purine, oxalate and sodium rich foods and genetic predisposition had contributed to the risk of urolithiasis. Maximum patients in both experimental and control groups had low knowledge scores about the disorder (40% vs 43.33%), followed by moderate knowledge (33.33% vs 13.33%). knowledge level of kidney stone patients was positively associated with education level. After the intervention, knowledge gain with regard to the disease was significantly higher in experimental group compared to control group (experimental: 41.67±8.04% vs control: 1.98±2.08%). About 53.33 per cent subjects showed positive improvement in their dietary and life style pattern after the intervention viz., increased water and fluid consumption, restricting salt, tea, bakery products, sugar, animal foods, fats, purine and oxalate rich foods. It can be concluded that, nutrition education is useful in increasing the knowledge and the practices pertaining to diet modifications and life style factors.
