Processing methods affect starch hydrolysis, digestibility, absorption and glycaemic index (GI) of food. Although some studies have reported on the effect of boiling, frying, roasting and baking on glycaemic index of traditional staples, there is limited information on the contribution of drying, fermentation, boiling and steaming on starch bioavailability and glycaemic index.

Mango fruit plays an important economic role in Côte d’Ivoire as the third major exported fruit after banana and pineapple. The main issue of the mango value chain in Côte d’Ivoire is linked to poor agricultural practices and postharvest losses due to climateric characteristics of the fruit. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of bioactive edible coating made of garlic extract and cassava starch as a novel approach to enhance the postharvest quality and shelf-life of Keitt mango fruit.

PCA revealed overall acceptability, taste and colour as the top three sensory components contributing to variation in the gari samples. Root size negatively correlated with dry matter, starch content and gari yield. It was concluded that the various cassava varieties exhibited some distinct morpholgical and chemical characteristics which influenced their potentials for gari production.

The effect of the esterification catalyst type and contents on properties of the PBS/T-TPS blend was also studied. The results from the Molau test confirmed the formation of graft-copolymer (PBSgT-TPS) at the interface of two phases of the blend when compatibilizers were added in the presence of an organotin compound catalyst.

Improving and maintaining soil quality for enhancing and sustaining agricultural production is of utmost importance for India’s food and nutritional security. Permanent Manurial Experiments (PMW) are ideal sites for studying management induced variability in crop production and soil health. The biological activity of a soil is the function of number of organisms present in soil and their physiological efficiency. Soil microbial diversity is one of the most important microbial parameters in soil.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a perennial shrub and a tuberous root crop well adapted to poor soils and is relatively tolerant to drought, the crop is usually grown under marginal soil and climatic conditions and often with very limited inputs of fertilizers and pesticides. In India, cassava is cultivated in varied agro climatic and pedogenic environments. In Tamil Nadu, it is cultivated mainly for industrial uses, cassava is grown in black soils (Vertisols) and red soils (Alfisols).

Cassava (Manihot esculenta, crantz) is an important food crop for many tropical zones in the world such as Africa, Asia and Latin America. In Vietnam it is an annual plant with the purpose of obtaining its tuber as food and ranked as the third, food crop after the rice and maize. In recent years when rice production has been more than enough for the domestic food demand of the people, cassava has become a raw material as starch for the processing industry. In the country, there have appeared many agricultural zones where cassava is planted for starch production.

The study was undertaken to assess the effect of various post-harvest treatments on the storage quality of peach cv. July Elberta. Fruits for this experiment were procured from trees which were maintained under a uniform cultural schedule throughout the season. Fruits were harvested at proper maturity and packed in CFB cartons for their transportation to the laboratory for conducting the studies. For the application of postharvest coating treatments, unblemished, uniform and large sized fruits were selected and washed under a clean tap water.
