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.

    EVALUATION OF PROBIOTIC CULTURES FOR THEIR POTENTIAL ANTIOBESITY EFFECTS
    (DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY MICROBIOLOGY SHETH M.C. COLLEGE OF DAIRY SCIENCE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2020) Makwana Shrushti Pareshkumar; Dr. J. B. Prajapati
    The study was planned to test the hypothesis that probiotic, whey protein and soy proteins have role to play in modulation of obesity. Potential probiotic cultures which are indigenous, well characterised and fully sequenced were screened on the basis of SCFA production. With respect to propionic acid, out of ten lactic acid bacterial cultures, L. helveticus MTCC 5463 (1.306 μg/ml), L. rhamnosus MTCC 5462 (1.272 μg/ml), L. rhamnosus MTCC 5946 (1.251 μg/ml) and L. rhamnosus MTCC 5945 (1.242 μg/ml) showed higher production. Average higher acetic acid production was shown by S. thermophilus MTCC 5462 (2.975 μg/ml), L. fermentum (2.683 μg/ml), L. rhamnosus MTCC 5462 (2.442 μg/ml) and L. helveticus MTCC 5463 (2.357 μg/ml). In case of butyric acid, L. plantarum (2.103 μg/ml), L. rhamnosus MTCC 25062 (2.073 μg/ml) and L. plantarum (2.064 μg/ml) showed relatively higher production. Overall, L. helveticus MTCC 5463 (V3), S. thermophilus MTCC 5462 (MD2) and L. rhamnosus MTCC 5946 (NS6) were found to be stronger SCFA producers after 24 h of incubation and hence they were selected for further study.

    DEVELOPMENT OF RAPID METHODS FOR DETECTION OF COLIFORMS IN MILK
    (DEPARTMENT OF DAIRY MICROBIOLOGY SHETH M.C. COLLEGE OF DAIRY SCIENCE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, ANAND, 2020) Gawai Kunal Manohar; Dr. J. B. Prajapati
    The present investigation involved formulation of selective broth for coliforms and E.coli by optimizing the rate of addition of Sodium lauryl sulphate salt, Gentamicin sulphate + Amoxycillin (in 1:1 ratio) and coliform growth factor Cefsulodin by response surface methodology. From the first phase of study, formulation of selective broth for coliforms and E.coli consisting of Sodium lauryl sulphate salt, Gentamicin sulphate + Amoxycillin and Cefsulodin added at the rate of 0.25 g/100ml, 10 ul/100 ml and 312.5 ul/100 ml respectively was optimized. This combination of ingredients along with base composition of broth were able to increase the growth of coliforms. Along with this, it was able to inhibit population of Salmonella typhi ATCC 14028, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 up to 2, 22 and 14 cells/ml in 10 h when spiked at 10 cells/10 ml and incubated at 37oC.
