PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHANGES IN GRAINS OF SOME ADVANCE LINES/ VARIETIES OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.) AFTER PARBOILING
...teractive efficacy of parboiling on these varieties/lines and practical expediency of using standardized parboiling technique for improving nutritional, milling and cooking qualities of these lines/varieties. For this purpose, white milled and parboiled rice samples of ten lines/varieties were analyzed for nutritional quality parameters such as ash, dry matter, crude fat, crude protein, crude fiber, vitamin B6; milling quali...

While DDE residues showed reduction percentages of 100%, 57.14%, and 71.43%, respectively. On the other hand, DDT residue was completely reduced in all cooking methods (100%). Heptachlor reduction by roasting was 86.36%, and completely reduced by microwaving and boiling. Heptachlor epoxide reduction wa...

...(1.0 cm2 in diameter) in boiling (100°C) water for 5 min and placed on the back of the rats for 20 sec without applying pressure. Rats were divided into three groups; control group, burn injury group, burn injury + NAC group. Wound size and histopathological changes of epidermis were evaluated for the various groups. Hydroxyproline was estimated in wound tissue. Wounded skin tissues were cut off and stored at − 20°C for PCR and ELISA analy...

...eeling process. The mean boiling temperature was recorded at 87°C. Temperature varies between 85°C and 90°C during the rearing season. The study shows that carefully controlling the temperature and humidity levels and managing the feeding of silkworms ensure the optimal growth and development resulting in healthy and productive silkworms....
