Item Antioxidative and antimicrobial properties of pulse proteins and their applications in gluten-free foods and sports nutrition(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-03-07T00:00:00) Shevkani, Khetan; Singh, Narpinder; Patil, Chidanand; Awasthi, Ankit; Paul, MamanPulses are inexpensive and eco-friendly source of biologically active proteins/peptides exhibiting antioxidative and antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial activity of pulse proteins/peptides is ascribed to their ability to interact with components of bacterial/fungal cells or viral-envelope, while antioxidative effects are the result of absorption/scavenging of free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which depend on amino acid composition/sequence, hydrophobicity and molecular mass and vary with multiple factors, including, protein source, hydrolysing enzyme and conditions employed for hydrolysis. Pulse proteins also are useful for quality improvement of gluten-free (GF) foods to fulfil the increasing demand not only of safe and nutritious but also of acceptable products for people with gluten-related disorders. They contribute technological and sensory quality to GF baked products through providing lysine and improving hydration, viscoelasticity and gas retention, though the production of GF products with quality comparative to wheat-based baked products is challenging. The inclusion of pulse proteins in pastas and noodles reduces their glycaemic index and improves textural and cooking properties. Also, pulse proteins were found to be comparable with animal proteins in enhancing exercise capacity and athletic performance; hence, these may be considered suitable in developing health-promoting plant-based athletic foods. � 2022 Institute of Food Science and Technology.Item Antioxidative and antimicrobial properties of pulse proteins and their applications in gluten-free foods and sports nutrition(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-03-07T00:00:00) Shevkani, Khetan; Singh, Narpinder; Patil, Chidanand; Awasthi, Ankit; Paul, MamanPulses are inexpensive and eco-friendly source of biologically active proteins/peptides exhibiting antioxidative and antimicrobial properties.

Vijayachandra; Patil, Chidanand; Reddy, B. S.Agribusiness is the key for sustainable development in agriculture. The growth of both agriculture growth and industrialization can be achieved from Agribusiness enterprises alone. Agriculture continues to support numerous downstream linkages with industry by becoming a supplier of vital industrial raw material. Due to higher dependency on agriculture country such as India will be always associated potential economic growth for Food processing Industry, which will establish better linkages between end user and agriculture. Government also has accorded a high priority to the sector and has provided many fiscal incentives.Item Recent Trends and Advancements in Agricultural Research: An Overview(Society of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, 2018) Sharma, Mohit; Patil, ChidanandDo you know the most precious thing happening in Indian Agriculture? Few keywords such as food, organic farming, climate change and improved farming techniques may strike to your mind. But the recent improvements in agriculture are way more advanced. These advancements along with the increase in urbanization are major drivers for the evolution of agricultural research. Recent trends in the area of Agricultural Research comprise of Eco-Agro-tourism, Big Data Analytics, Climate Smart Agriculture, Advanced Marketing Linkages, Integrated Farming System, etc. These trends are important not only from the research context but also from the policy point of view towards ambitious goal of doubling farmers’ income by 2022. In today’s’ era technology plays a very important role in encouraging farmers to take up entrepreneurial ventures and agro-based industries. Recent research has also spoken about combining Agriculture technology with the Information technology for improving the agricultural output. Traditional farming approach need to be replaced with the modern farming approaches like Integrated Farming System, Vertical Farming, Forward and Backward integration, etc. With the increase in population and limited resource availability, research related to Urban Agriculture is being emphasized which encourages the urban population to go for organic cultivation for healthy and safe produce. With the increase in per capita income, consumers are willing to spend more on quality products which is impacting backward linkages towards farmers to adopt good practices at production level. For mitigating the environmental challenges, research is focusing on Climate Smart Agricultural Techniques like DSR (Direct Seeded Rice) which reduces the water usage by about 50 to 60 percent and methane gas emission to a large extent ultimately helping the farmers to earn more carbon credits. In nutshell, it can be stated that along with coping up the major challenges such as climate change, boosting farmers’ income and feeding the billions, above stated trends in agricultural research are seen as ray of hope for sustaining Indian agriculture.
