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.

S.; YENAGI, NIRMALA B.A study was conducted to assess the nutritional knowledge,attitude and dietary practices of athletes of Dharwad city. The carbohydrate profile of pasta products and suitability of Dicoccum wheat as carbohydrate loading for long distance runners was tested. The nutritional status of athletes was assessed by anthropometry and food adequacy, while knowledge,attitudes and practices by questionnaire method. The proximate principles and carbohydrate profile of Durum and Dicoccum wheat pasta products was analysed by standard procedures. Durum and Dicoccum pasta products were given as test foods for carbohydrate loading and endurance capacity of athletes was tested by running and cycling in comparison with the normal diet. The results revealed that the anthropometric measurements like height,weight,mid-arm circumference and chest circumference of males were higher than females while fat fold thickness of females were higher when compared with ICMR standards on all India basis and lesser when compared with African athletes. The food adequacy was higher in males compared to females. Nearly 60 per cent of the athletes had moderate knowledge about nutrition. Favourable attitudes was found in 56 per cent of athletes and about 53 per cent of athletes had satisfactory food practices. Dicoccum wheat vermicelli had a higher protein content and complex carbohydrates compared to durum wheat vermicelli. The percentage of starch and sugars was higher in durum wheat, where as higher proportion of total dietary fibre was found in dicoccum wheat pasta product. The endurance capacity of durum and dicoccum wheat vermicelli fed trial was significantly higher compared to normal diet. Further, dicoccum wheat vermicelli fed trial had shown an improvement over durum trial. Athletic performance can be improved by imparting better nutrition knowledge. Dicoccum wheat which is superior in protein and complex carbohydrate can be recomended as an energy food for athletes.ThesisItem Open Access PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BER VARIETIES AND VALUE ADDITION(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-10) SHOBHA, D.; BHARATI, PUSHPAA study was conducted during 1998-99 on physiochemical characteristics of ber varieties and value addition. The five varieties viz., Umran, Sanuar-2, Gola, Seb, Kadaka obtained from the Department of Horticulture, Regional Station, Raichur, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, were evaluated for physical, chemical and organoleptic quality. The variety Umran was further utilized to develop value added products. The developed products were observed for growth of microorganisms, chemical changes and acceptability during storage. The variety seb was superior in breadth (3.29 cm), weight (24.00 g), volume (22 ml/F), pulp (22.60 g), seed (1.40 g] and iron (1.90 mg), compared to other varieties studied. Significantly higher amounts of acidity (0.21%), ascorbic acid (169.33 mg), p-carotene (150.41 pg) and phosphorus (71.61 mg) were found in the variety gola, while the variety Kadaka had higher amounts of calcium (59.80 mg). The variety Umran was better accepted (3.0) for fresh consumption with higher total (19.03%). reducing [5.24%) and non-reducing (13.78%) sugars. Chips prepared with peeled ber fruits after treating with eight per cent salt and one per cent potassium metabisulphate were scored between highly acceptable and acceptable, throughout five month storage period. Ber rings having acceptable sweetness could be produced with 75 per cent sugar for 60 hours of steeping. The sugar syrup (osmotic exudate) obtained after the separation of rings, when diluted with four parts of water was found to be ideal for RTS and was scored between highly acceptable and acceptable throughout five month storage period. Ber burfi prepared with 75 per cent sugar, ten per cent vanaspathi and skimmilk powder. 0.25 per cent citric acid and salt were found to be acceptable, without any visual growth of microorganisms throughout five week storage period. Vinegar based ber pickle was better accepted than lemon based pickle. Of the 150 consumers, 92.60 per cent liked osmotic exudate of ber, followed by chips (75.3°o) and burfi (73.3°o) while vinegar based pickle was liked by minimum percentage of consumers (40.0°o).ThesisItem Open Access NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF INSTITUTIONALISED AND FREE LIVING ELDERLY(UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-10) BILEHAL, PRATIMA C.; NAIk, RAMA K.The present investigation was undertaken during 1998-99. Thirty existing institutionalised elderly (15 male, 15 female) of available three old age homes from Belgaum, Dharwad and Hubli were selected. Equal number of free living elderly were matched with respect to age and gender. The information on old age home settings, background and life style were collected by structured proforma. Information on consumption of food and dietary habits was recorded using 24 hour recall method. The RDA for Indian sedentary adult were used for computing the adequacy of nutrients. Anthropometric measurements were recorded. Body Mass Index (BMI) was computed. The nutritional deficiency symptoms was assessed, metabolic disorders and diseases, morbidity pattern, age related health problems were assessed using questionnaire. Health related parameters viz., blood pressure, pulse and heart rates were recorded. The bloodglucose, lipid profile and urine urea levels were estimated by SPAN diagnostic kits. Haemoglobin by cyanomethaemoglobin method. The results revealed that, maximum of (56.6%) institutionalised elderly were without self income and were staying in missionaries and government homes (80%). Smoking, tobacco consumption and sdcoholism were prevalent among institutional group. The mean per cent adequacy of all nutrients were significantly lower among institutional elderly and intakes of protein, calcium, niacin met above 90, energy, fat, thiamine met between 80-90, riboflavin was between 70-80 and iron adequacy was below 70 per cent of requirement. The anthropometric measurements were significantly higher among free living elderly. Thirty nine and 30 per cent of institutional and free living elderly belonged to CED and obese category respectively. Mottled enamel was most prevalent symptom. Poor vision was most common age related health problem. Thirty three per cent of institutionalised elderly reported hypertension followed by digestive disorder and heart disease (23,3%), diabetes and piles (20%), asthma and arthritis (13.3%). All the instutitionalised elderly were moderately anaemic. The glucose and lipid concentration were within the normal range, lipid profile being higher in free living group. Elderly reported higher urine urea values.
