Item Kinetic study of thermal degradation of flaxseed oil and moringa oil blends with physico-chemical, oxidative stability index (OSI) and shelf-life prediction(Springer, 2023-10-31T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Singh, Barinderjit; Kaur, Brahmeet; Ubaid, Mohammed; Semwal, Anil DuttThe thermal degradation kinetics of flaxseed oil (FSO) and moringa oil (MO) blends with soyabean oil (SOY; 80%), rice bran oil (RBO; 80%), cotton seed oil (CSO; 80%) and sunflower oil (SFO; 80%) with Rancimat equipment. There was no significant (p ? 0.05) difference observed in the specific gravity (SG), density (D), and refractive index (RI) values of the MO and FSO blends, while the rancidity parameters showed the opposite variations. The FTIR spectra showed absorption bands at 966�cm?1, 1097�cm?1, 1160�cm?1, 1217�cm?1, 1377�cm?1, 1464�cm?1, 1743�cm?1, 2945�cm?1, 2852�cm?1 and 3008�cm?1. Oil blends� kinetic degradation (Ea, ?H, ?S, A) is represented by the semilogarithmic relationship between the oxidative stability index (OSI) and temperature. The activation energy (Ea) ranged from 77.1 � 0.21 to 106.9 � 0.03�kJ/mol and 73.2 � 0.01 to 104.4 � 0.02�kJ/mol for flaxseed oil (FSO) and moringa oil (MO) blends, respectively. The enthalpy (?H) and entropy (?S) ranged from 67.3 to 121.6�kJ/mol, and ? 60.2 to ?�8.4�J/mol, and 63.55 to 95.59�kJ/mol and ?�20.66 to ? 4.11�J/mol for FSO blends and MO blends, respectively.

Because of this, the land available for oil palm seed plantations will grow, which will help maintain a steady supply of high-quality oil despite the expanding population. Also, rapid increases in oil palm tree planting, especially when cultivation is out of control, lead to degradation. Because of soil erosion, soil nutrients may be lost as a result of the degradation. The growth of an oil palm tree, as well as the quality of its yields, could be stunted by a deficiency in the macronutrients (N, Mg P, K). A decrease in yield may arise from using the tried-and-true method of detecting macronutrients; this is because this method is prone to error. The current system has only provided limited dataset information and a sluggish classification performance because of its limited features. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables efficient and seamless use of data regarding oil palm tree development and fertilizer control. The environmental elements affecting the growth of young oil palm trees include temperature, nutrients, humidity, light, and soil moisture content; the conceptual framework includes deep learning, IoT technologies, machine learning and image processing. As a result, it is recommended that machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and deep learning be studied for detecting the nutritional deficiencies of oil palm trees. � 2022 IEEE.Item Trehalose and its Diverse Biological Potential(Bentham Science Publishers, 2023-06-07T00:00:00) Sharma, Eva; Shruti, P.S.; Singh, Shagun; Singh, Tashvinder; Kaur, Prabhsimran; Jodha, Bhavana; Srivastava, Yashi; Munshi, Anjana; Singh, SandeepTrehalose, a disaccharide molecule of natural origin, is known for its diverse biological ap-plications, like in drug development, research application, natural scaffold, stem cell preservation, food, and various other industries. This review has discussed one such diverse molecule �trehalose aka mycose�, and its diverse biological applications with respect to therapeutics. Due to its inertness and higher stability at variable temperatures, it has been developed as a preservative to store stem cells, and later, it has been found to have anticancer properties. Trehalose has recently been associated with modulating cancer cell metabolism, diverse molecular processes, neuroprotective effect, and so on. This article describes the development of trehalose as a cryoprotectant and protein stabilizer as well as a dietary component and therapeutic agent against various diseases. The article discusses its role in diseases via modulation of autophagy, various anticancer pathways, metabolism, inflammation, aging and oxidative stress, cancer metastasis and apoptosis, thus highlighting its diverse biological potential. � 2023 Bentham Science Publishers.Item Encapsulation for efficient spray drying of fruit juices with bioactive retention(Springer, 2022-06-17T00:00:00) Srivastava, Soma; Bansal, Mrigya; Jain, Dilip; Srivastava, YashiHigher moisture content and inefficient post-harvest handling result in huge losses and scanty availability of the fruits. Spray drying is one such technique to handle the problem of post-harvest losses as powder production not only cuts the storage and transportation cost but also provides higher shelf stability. This review provides a detailed description of the process of spray drying and the effect of each parameter on powder characteristics. It also summarizes that addition of different wall materials resulted in the production of high-quality fruit juice powders.There are two major approaches material based i.e., encapsulation and process-based which aim to improve the economic value of spray drying by controlling the problems of stickiness, hygroscopicity, and thermal degradation of heat-sensitive compounds. Stickiness is majorly due to the low glass transition temperature of fruit juices (sugars and acids) which is elevated with the addition of encapsulating agents. Control over operational parameters is essential to deliver fruit powders within acceptable quantity and quality, both in terms of organoleptic and nutritional parameters. Various studies revealed that encapsulation act as protective shield for bioactive and probiotics retention. Maltodextrin (Dextrose equivalence 10�20) is reported as the most efficient drying aid. Prebiotics like nutriose and skimmed milk powder can also be used as drying aids. Most suitable conditions for spray drying of fruit juices like pomegranate, ber, and jamun are 25% maltodextrin at 124��C, 8�10% maltodextrin at 160�190��C, and 10% maltodextrin at 185��C, respectively. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item Lychee Wastes and By-Products: Chemistry, Processing, and Utilization(CRC Press, 2022-08-05T00:00:00) Kaur, Gurwinder; Singh, Barinderjit; Srivastava, Yashi; Kaur, Manpreet; Gat, YogeshLychee (Lychee chinensis) is a tropical or subtropical fruit commonly grown in Asian countries. All parts of lychee are rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins (ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin), minerals (potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron) and bioactive components like phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, carotenoids, sesquiterpenes and sterols. Wastes and by-products (seed, peel and pomace) obtained during processing of lychee has great potential for utilization in the production of peel flour, chutney, wine, enzymes, antioxidant agents, coloring agents, bioethanol, biogas, and biochar. The lychee fruit residues have enormous potential use like used as a dyeing agent, microbiological culture medium and corrosion-resistant material. � 2023 selection and editorial matter, Khalid Muzaffar, Sajad Ahmad Sof, and Shabir Ahmad Mir, individual chapters, the contributors.Item Toxicant/Pesticide Residue/Adulteration Detection in Some Valuable Plantation Products(CRC Press, 2022-02-24T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Chourasia, ShivaniAdulteration is the act of debasing a pure or genuine commodity for pecuniary profit by adding to it an inferior or spurious article, or by taking from it one or more of its constituents to increase the bulk or weight of the article, to improve its appearance, to give it a false strength, or to rob it of its most valuable constituent. It is a chief public health economic fraud that is consistent, simple, sensitive, and extremely traceable, as there are validation techniques combined with standards of quality. There is a very convenient way to identify adulteration and maintenance of quality in the traded spices and herbs. The chemical oxidation involved in the different stages of black tea processing may be judged by biosensors. Variables in processing simulations can reduce various operations, time, resources, labour, and consequently costs. New technologies, value-added products, comfort products, and the production of compatible flavours are constantly under study to meet consumer requirements. � 2022 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.Item A comprehensive review on processing, therapeutic benefits, challenges, and economic scenario of unconventional oils(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-12-01T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Semwal, Anil D.; Dhiman, AishwaryaThe review aims to focus on the processing and economic challenges of these oil industries (lack of organized cultivation, collection, processing, research, and market linking) and fetch the attention toward the application of green technology. The present article provides a systematic view to open a new sphere of understanding for unconventional oilseeds with its geographical distribution, chemical composition, health benefits, and research. Further, new sources of unconventional oil (cottonseed, rice bran, sal seed, mango kernel, etc.) may impart an alternative source of edible oil, which can fulfill the country's edible oil deficit with economic contribution. In inference, the combined evidence supports the assertion that unconventional sources of oils may provide an alternatives to major seed oils. Practical applications: Unconventional oils are the new boosting area to upthrust the production of edible oils and reduce the dependence of oil import from other countries. The emerging green technologies for oil extraction shall consider as high oil yield methods. There are many unconventional oil seeds which are still required to be the area for research and commercial application. The present article focused on the market scenario, health benefits of these oil seeds. � 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Item Kinetic study of thermal degradation of flaxseed oil and moringa oil blends with physico-chemical, oxidative stability index (OSI) and shelf-life prediction(Springer, 2023-10-31T00:00:00) Srivastava, Yashi; Singh, Barinderjit; Kaur, Brahmeet; Ubaid, Mohammed; Semwal, Anil DuttThe thermal degradation kinetics of flaxseed oil (FSO) and moringa oil (MO) blends with soyabean oil (SOY; 80%), rice bran oil (RBO; 80%), cotton seed oil (CSO; 80%) and sunflower oil (SFO; 80%) with Rancimat equipment.
