ThesisItem Open Access NUTRITIONAL AND PROCESSING QUALITIES OF DICOCCUM (Triticum dicoccum Schrank, Suhulb) WHEAT VARIETIES(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) BHUVANESWARI, G; YENAGI, NIRMALA BInterest towards utilization of hulled dicoccum wheat has been increased in agriculture due to the low input techniques used for their management. Since quality is the most important criterion in the promotion of dicoccum wheat genotypes, eight dicoccum wheat varieties along with one each check varieties of durum and bread wheat were studied for nutritional, technological and therapeutic qualities for gainful utilization. Physico-chemical, carbohydrate profile, in-vitro protein and carbohydrate digestibility were analyzed by standard procedures. Fractionation of gluten and gliadin proteins was carried out by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Varieties were also evaluated for milling, vulgarisation, popping, baking, pasta making and extrusion qualities. Glyce mic index of dahlia and semolina of commercially available dicoccum wheat, DDK-1001 was determined to assess the therapeutic quality. Visual observation revealed that almost all the dicoccum wheats were reddish in colour and elongated with pointed ends. Thousand Kernel Weight of dicoccum wheats was lower than durum wheat. The hardness values of dicoccum wheats were ranged from 3.19 to 6.60 kg/grain.Nutritionally, dicoccum wheats were rich in protein, total sugar and dietary fibre contents and good source of ash and B-carotene contents. Dietary fibre and low carbohydrate digestibility were the contributing factors for low glycemic index of dicoccum wheat products. Good semolina milling potential of dicoccum wheats and good cooking qualities were found to be highly suitable for preparation of pasta products and extnidates. y-45 gliadin band was the contributing factor for better pasta quality. Dicoccum wheats also showed a good popping quality. Bulgurisation was the most suitable processing method for dicoccum wheats as it improved the milling, popping and cooking qualities. Dicoccum wheats showed potential for bread making quality due to the presence of l', 1 and 7+8 glutenin bands. Nutritionally superior and good processing potential dicoccum wheat varieties were DDK-IOOL DDK-1016, DDK-1009, NP-200 and 278-13.ThesisItem Open Access PROMOTION OF VITAMIN A STATUS THROUGH HORTICULTURE INTERVENTION(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) B, KASTURIBA; NAIK, RAMA KThe investigation focused on vitamin A status and impact of synthetic and horticulture intervention on vitamin A status. Vitamin A status of 153 school children of Dharwad taluk was assessed by dietary, anthropometry, clinical and biochemical analysis. Children with serum retinol level less than 20ug/100ml were included in intervention study. Children from group-l formed the control, a single massive oral dose of 2,00,000 lU of vitamin A was given to group-II, horticultural intervention was given to group-lll daily for 3 months, where standardized recipes (fenugreek chapathi, drumstick leaves chapathi and carrot bhaji) met days's vitamin A allowance (2400ug/day). Serum retinol level, haemoglobin level, anthropometric parameters and morbidity pattern were recorded before and after supplementation period. The intake of all the nutrients of sample was less compared to recommended dietary allowances. The adequacy of iron and p-carolens was less than 50 per cent. As per Waterlow's classification, 29.41, 62.09, 5.23 and 3.27 percent were in normal, stunting, wasting and stunting and wasting group, respectively. Majority fell in the category of low level of serum retinol and anemic group. The prevalence of xerosis, night blindness and bitot's spots was 4.58, 0.65 and 0.65 percent, respectively. Significant association between adequacy of protein, p-carotene, fat and serum retinol level and blood forming nutrients and haemoglobin level was apparent. A significant relationship was also evident between haemoglobin level and serum retinol level. Both synthetic vitamin A and horticulture intervention improved the serum retinol, hemoglobin level and anthropometric parameters. The synthetic supplementation showed high increment value for serum retinol level compared to the horticulture supplementation group. Nevertheless, the increment value for anthropometry and hemoglobin level was high and there was a clear decrease in the episodes of illness in the horticulture intervention group. Hence, horticulture intervention is cost-effective, long-term, natural and sustainable strategy to solve existing vitamin A Deficiency problem.ThesisItem Open Access MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES DURING PREGNANCY(University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 1999) JAGADINNI, ANITA; NAIK, RAMA KA semi-longitudinal investigation pertaining to management of diabetes during pregnancy was undertaken during the year 1998-99 to collect the baseline information regarding the nutritional status by clinical and dietary methods and also to determine the effect of management practices on the outcome of pregnancy. Finally, the module was prepared m local language for the benefit of pregnant diabetic subjects for management of the disorder during pregnancy. A total of 16 pregnant subjects of which eight diabetic and eight non-diabetic were selected by purposive sampling technique from Hubli- Dharwad cities. The results revealed that the rate of incidence of diabetic pregnancies (pregestational-0.77% and gestational-0.38%) is found to be higher in the private clinics than the government hospitals (0.14% each) of Hubli-Dharwad cities. Seven of the eight mothers with diabetes had at least one previous abortion, with the incidence of 47.6 percent. While three of the eight non-diabetic pregnant subjects had aborted previously with the incidence of 18.75 percent. The nutritional status of both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects was satisfactory. The energy and carbohydrate intake of the pregnant diabetic subjects were less than the normal pregnant subjects but the fibre intake of the diabetic subjects was higher than the non-diabetic pregnant subjects. Subjects modified their diets which helped them to maintain near normal blood values. Maximum knowledge scores were obtained from the selected pregnant subjects who had the family history of diabetes, who received education regarding disease, diet, and management. Majority of the diabetic pregnant subjects followed good management practices. The mean fasting and post-prandial blood glucose level during gestational period of the pregnant diabetics were near normal (130mg% and 210mg% respectively) which lead to similar out comes as that of non-diabetic pregnant subjects. All the diabetic pregnant subjects returned to normal blood values after delivery. There were no morbidity and mortality rate in the present study. Education module was pronounced acceptable by the subjects indicating that module could be used as an important tool in the management of diabetes.ThesisItem Open Access A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMMES CONDUCTED BY KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRAS(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1996) Prabhukumar, S; Veerabhadraiah, VABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access DEVELOPMENT OF LOW COST HIGH NUTRITIOUS FOODS FOR CHILDREN AND EVALUATION FOR THEIR QUALITY(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1998) Chandrakala, V; Vaidehi, M PABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF TEMPEH PORRIDGE FOR NUTRITIONAL RECOVERY OF PROTEIN CALORIE MALNOUBISHED CHILDREN(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1997) Rina Devi, L; Vaidehi, M PABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF TEMPE SUPERORALITE IN THE CORRECTION OF DEHYDRATION AND MAINTENANCE OF NUTRITION DURING DIARRHEAL EPISODE(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1996) George, Susan M; Vaidehi, M PABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN (8-12 Years)(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1996) Kamalasundari, S Nath,; Kamal GABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLEThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF COMMERCIAUZED FARMING ON HOUSEHOLD FOOD SECURITY(University of Agricultural Science, Dharwad, 1995) Hiremath, Umadevi S; Sheela, KABSTRACT NOT AVAILABLE
