The metal ions were pre-concentrated at open circuit on the surface of modified sensor, accompanying their determination by stripping voltammetry anodic scan using differential pulse waveform. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated diminution of charge transfer resistance with higher electrocatalytic response of the modified sensor, supported by cyclic voltammetry measurements. The fabricated metal sensor performance was analyzed by varying the operational conditions like amount of modifier, accumulating solvent and its pH, accumulation time and supporting electrolyte to realize the optimum parameters. The effect of interfering metal ions and surface active macromolecules on the analysis of lead and cadmium was also studied. The linearity was observed in the concentration range of 100-1000 &#956;gL&#8722;1 for lead and 100-800 &#956;gL&#8722;1 for cadmium with limits of detection 59.5 and 64.4 &#956;gL&#8722;1, respectively at 10 min accumulation time. Thus, the electrode dynamic parameters can be effectively applied for ultra trace determination of lead and cadmium ions being highly sensitive. This work is a green approach in the context of using an environment friendly modifier resulting in improved sensor sensitivity to heavy metal analysis.<#LINE#>Torma F., Grun A., Bitter I. and Toth K.

Commercial sterilization of the food is accomplished by putting the food items within the container and warm it. By the mechanism of heat transfer, the heat infiltration is obtained between food material and container. However, heat transfer through convection mechanism is uncommon in green leafy vegetables because of their non-Newtonian behavior. So a study on rheological properties as a function temperature and solid concentration of the puree is very important for design and development of the instrument. In our present research, rheological properties of the moringa puree as a function of temperature and frequency is done. Frequency sweep test was performed at 313K for both blanched and unblanched moringa puree. For both blanched and unblanched puree, the elastic modulus (G’) and viscous modulus (G”) shows an increasing trend with an increasing frequency and temperature. However, purees discovered higher values of G’ as compared to G”, which conclude that purees are showing weak gel behavior. Different rheological models are tried for its rheological properties, however Ostwald model fitted well. A non-Newtonian behavior with a decrease in viscosity and increase in shear rate was seen in this puree. And shear thinning behavior of purees is confirmed by plotting a graph between the shear rate and shear stress and it shows flow behavior index value (n)<1. Different Plot was drawn between shear rate and a viscosity at different solid concentration and temperature of purees. This data is helpful in design and development of thermal processing unit and for increasing the shelf life of the purees, which could use for our food-processing sector.<#LINE#>Fahey J.W.

Garcinia pedunculata has dietary importance and widely utilized in the preparation of fish curries by the people of Assam. It has a number of medicinal properties and used as an antiscorbutic, astringent and antidysenteric. Due to its high Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) content, it is believed to be useful as natural anti obese agent. In spite of such enormous health benefits, the fruits are underutilized due to their seasonal availability and very short shelf life. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more value added products from these fruits to take their benefits in off season. In the present work, an attempt has been made by producing a variety of Garcinia fruit products applying modern processing techniques blending with traditional knowledge. This will help in increasing the intensity of usage of this fruit and thereby reduce lost due to rot/damage of ripen fruits. The study also evaluated the shelf life and economic qualities of the prepared products. The products prepared from G. pedunculata in this study were having potentiality to reproduce as good quality consumer products and may be an income source for village dwelling communities.<#LINE#>World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization (2003).@Diet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseases.@WHO Technical Report Series 916, Report of a Joint WHO/FAO Expert Consultation.

The prepared matrix was deposited as an active cladding material for the fabrication of cladding modified fiber optic intrinsic biosensor. The cladding modified material was used for the immobilization of biomolecules-enzyme-glucose oxidase (GOx) with the help of cross-linking technique. The nature of deposited nanocomposite material was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) techniques. Moreover, optical microscopy was used to observe the thin layer of deposited nanocomposite matrix on fiber optic sensing element. The prepared sensor can be used further for the detection of glucose solution of various concentrations. From the results, it has been found that PANI-CdS nanocomposite is biocompatible for the fixation of biomolecules on fiber optic sensing element. The results have been presented.<#LINE#>Nambiar Shruti and Yeow John T.W.

Biopolymers are sustainable, carbon neutrals and are always renewable. Starch is the second most abundant natural biopolymer on the earth. In order to improve the performance of starch, crosslinking is often carried out either in the processes of starch modification or during the application processes. By controlling the degree of crosslinking, the water retention capacity of starch-based hydrogel can be well controlled. In addition, the adsorptivity and binding strength of starch on a substrate can be significantly improved. Chemically modified biopolymers can be used as selective metal chelators. They have applications in waste water management. In the present study chemical crosslinking of starch using Ethanedial (glyoxal) was carried out to judge its adsorptivity towards Copper. The novel crosslinked biopolymer is characterized by IR, NMR, XRD. Surface chemistry of metal- biopolymer was studied using SEM.<#LINE#>Buleon A., Colonna P., Planchot V. and Ball S.
