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.

    DEVELOPMENT OF PROCESS TECHNOLOGY FOR PRODUCTION OF INSTANT DONKEY MILK POWDER
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 2019-08-17) DIVYA, V.; Ramachandra, C.T.
    Physico-chemical (proximate composition, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, lysozyme, minerals and microbial load) properties of Donkey milk of dwarf grey breed was carried out. Spray drying was carried out for production of donkey milk powder at inlet and out air temperature of 160/85 °C. To achieve instant properties in spray dried donkey milk powder agglomeration process was carried out at different combinations of lecithin concentration and temperature ranging from 0 to 0.8 % and 40 to 60 °C, respectively. Optimization of spray fluid bed dried donkey milk powder for good handling and reconstitutional properties was performed by Central Composite Randomized Design in Design Expert Software. The optimum values of concentration and inlet air temperature were 0.68% and 57 °C, respectively. Freeze drying was carried out at -51 °C and 0.043 milli bar pressure for 35.5 h after freezing of milk at -20 °C for 24 h. The proximate composition of freeze dried donkey milk powder showed almost similar proximate composition compared to raw donkey milk. Freeze dried donkey milk powder achieved improved handling and reconstitutional properties compared to spray fluid bed dried donkey milk powder.
