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.

    DEHYDRATION OF BANANA FOR VALUE ADDITION
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2008-09-19) JYOTHI., C. HANDRAL; Dr. K. Geetha
    Banana varieties namely Cavendish and Ney Poovan were selected and procured from Bangalore local market. Samples were dried using three dehydration methods namely oven, biomass and osmotic. Both primary and secondary value added products was developed using dried banana, further subjected to organoleptic evaluation and also shelf-life of the product developed were studied. Results showed that Cavendish varieties were bigger in size than the "Ney Poovan", Oven dehydration took more time to dry the banana slices compared to other two methods. Macro nutrients like energy, carbohydrate, crude fibre and fat were high in Ney Poovan but protein was high in Cavendish variety. Energy and carbohydrate was high in biomass dried samples, fibre and fat was high in osmosed slices, protein was found to be high in oven dried sample. Almost all minerals phosphorous, iron, potassium, copper and manganese was high in Cavendish but calcium was found to be high in Ney Poovan variety. Calcium, potassium, copper was high in biomass dried samples, phosphorus, zinc, manganese was found to be high in oven dried banana slices, osmotically dried samples had high iron content compare to other two methods. Among the dehydration methods maximum reducing sugars (57.49%), non reducing sugar (13.67%) and total sugars (77.10%) was found high in osmotically dried samples irrespective of varieties. All the developed products were accepted when subjected to organoleptic evaluation. Ney Poovan variety scored highest in all the attributes irrespective of dehydration methods compare to Cavendish variety. Best accepted primary product was stored in different storage containers namely polythene cover, aluminium foil, plastic box and steel container for three months. It was found that product stored in steel container was best accepted compared to other storage container even after three months of storage. Thus it can be concluded that banana can be dehydrated and value added for commercial purpose

    NUTRITIONAL STATUS ANU UIETARY GUIUEUNES OF PREUIALHIC ANU HEMOUIALYTIC PATIENTS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-08-30) SWETA, SUMAN; USHA, MALAGI
    An investigation was undertaken with an objective to assess the nutritional status of renal patients and document the related complications and suggest suitable dietary guidelines. Predialjdic (n=20) and hemodialytic (n=25) patients were selected from Kamataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, Kamataka. The personal information, prevalent vices, exercise behaviour, dietary modifications and clinical and health status of the subjects were recorded by using pre-tested questionnaire. Etiology of the chronic renal disease, complications and biochemical parameters were documented from the case files. The nutritional status of the patients was assessed by dietary, anthropometric and biochemical methods.

    EFFECT OF SPIRULINA ON LIPID PROFILE OF HYPERLIPIDEMICS
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-08-30) SMITHA, M. KURDIKERI; B. KASTURIBA
    A study entitled "effect of spirulina oh lipid profile of hyperlipidemics" was undertaken during 2004-05 to assess the nutritional status of 30 hyperlipidemics in comparison to 25 normolipidemics and to determine the effect of spirulina on lipid profile of hyperlipidemics. The study revealed that hyperlipidemics had higher body weight, higher body mass index and higher waist to hip ratio compared to normolipidemics. Majority of hyperlipidemics (63.32%) were abdominally obese compared to normolipidemics (44%). The normolipidemics had higher intake of most of the nutrients like protein, p-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid and iron. On the contrary, the mean intake of visible fat was higher (31.55 g/d) in hyperlipidemics compared to normolipidemics (29.66 g/d). Hyperlipidemics had higher intake of cholesterol (79.42 g/d) and saturated fat (19.75 g/d) compared to normolipidemics (60.21 g/d and 19.33 g/d respectively) whereas, PUFA intake was higlier (14.56 g/d) in normolipidemics and lower in hyperlipidemics (12.59 g/d).

    PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES, NUTRITIONAL QUALITY AND VALUE ADDITION TO QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE {Zea mays L.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences GKVK, Banglore, 2007-08-30) PUNITA, GURIA; BHARATI, V. CHIMMAD
    Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is a high yielding high lysine maize released for alleviating hunger and malnutrition among maize dependent populations. An investigation was undertaken in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to evaluate the physico-chemical properties, nutritional quality and utilization potential of QPM in comparison with traditional varieties (SA-Tall and DMH-2).
