Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    CHARACTERIZATION OF ISOLATED PROTEIN FROM DE-OILED MUSTARD SEED AND EVALUATION OF ITS NUTRITIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES
    (AAU, Anand, 1992) Talati, Jayant G; Chakraborty, M K
    With a view to find out suitability of protein isolate o[ mustard (Brassica Juncea) cv. Varuna for feed/food supplement, experiments on various aspects were conducted at the Biochemistry Department, B.A. College of Agriculture and Reproduct i.ve Biology Research Unit and Pathology Department of Veterinary College, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand Campus, Anand during 1990-92. Dehulled, defatted meal was used for the extraction of meal nitrogen. Different conditions like, dilution ratio, time and type of equipment and pH of extracting solvent were studied to find out the optimum conditions for maximum extraction of protein from the meal. Isoelectric point was determined using 6 N HCl diid 10 per cent TCA as the precipitating reagent. To improve the colour of the protein isolate effect of sodium bisulfite and polyvinylpyrrolidone were studied at different concentrations. With the help of gel permeation chromatographic technique protein isolate was characterized and the molecular weight was also determined.
