University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    SEASONAL CHANGES IN QUALITY OF HONEY FROM Apis cerana Fab. IN BANGALORE REGION
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 42944) SHISHIRA, D.; Kuberappa, G. C.
    The investigation on “Seasonal changes in quality of honey from Apis cerana in Bangalore region” was undertaken to study the melissopalynology, physico-chemical properties and biological properties of honey at Dept. of Apiculture, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore during 2016-17. Total of 21 honey samples were collected and analyzed at monthly interval. Out of 21 honey samples analyzed, 16 were unifloral, two were bifloral and three were multifloral. The Pfund values of the honey samples revealed that out of 21 samples collected, six were light amber, one was extra light amber, eight were dark amber, five were amber and one was white amber in colour. The average specific gravity, pH and electrical conductivity of honey samples analysed was 1.40±0.001, 4.11±0.021 and 0.97±0.065ds/m, respectively. The refractive index, total soluble solids and total solids in honey samples analyzed was ranged between 17.93 to 25 per cent, 75.00 to 82.07 per cent and 1.41 to 1.610C, respectively. Total reducing sugars (TRS) of honey samples analyzed was ranged between 63.17 to 75.15 per cent in which glucose content was ranged between 30.84 to 36.95 per cent and fructose content was ranged between 31.60 to 39.27 per cent. The sucrose content of honey samples analyzed was ranged between 1.09 to 4.37 per cent. The honey samples analysed for antimicrobial property revealed that maximum inhibition zone was exhibited by multifloral honey at 100 per cent honey concentration. The presence of hydrogen peroxide was more in the honey samples with higher moisture level.
