The present study was conducted to study optimization of green house conditions for Propagation of Stevia rebaudiana cuttings. Stevia rebaudiana belongs to Asteraceae family and this plant is native to the Brazil and Paraguay. Stevia rebaudiana leaves produces stevioside and rebaudioside. The sweetness of stevioside is 150 -300 times greater than sucrose.Seeds of Stevia are very small in size and infertile and production of Stevia through seeds is not beneficial because seeds are not viable for germination.In present study different concentrations of NAA, IBA, IAA and their combinations were...

Date palm is considered to be a wonder plant and a traditional food of the Middle Eastern countries. There are many varieties of dates, each one with unique properties. As date palm is mostly grown in hot regions of World, shelf life extension is the main issue. Gamma irradiation provides a safe method to tackle this problem. This book covers topics from the production of dates worldwide to modern processing techniques employed in dates industry. The microbial load and insect infestation evaluation after providing different gamma irradiation doses is discussed in detail in this book. Results...

Nigella sativa is an annual flowering plant, found in south and southwest Asia. Nigella sativa oil contains conjugated linoleic acid, thymoquinone, nigellone (dithymoquinone), melanthin, nigilline, damascenine, and tannins. In present study, a comparison was made among the extraction efficacy of cold maceration, soxhlet extraction and microwave assisted extraction. Cold maceration of black seeds gave maximum extract after 21 hours of extraction. A maximum of 6.75 g of extract was obtained by soxhlet extraction of Nigella sativa. While Microwaves produced maximum extract (15 g/gram of plant...

Chitin is a linear polymer of β-(1, 4)-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) sugar while the Chitinases are the enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of chitin. Various chitinase genes from different microorganisms have been amplified and are expressed in different hosts so far by various researchers. Present study focused on cloning and expression of hydrolytic enzyme (Chitinase) in Ecoli from Bacillus thuringiensis containing chitinase gene.

Chrysanthemums are commonly known as Gul-e-Daudi or Autumn Queen, a genus (Chrysanthemum) of about 30 species which behaves both as an annual as well as a perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Chrysanthemum comes from Greek Chrys meaning golden (the color of the original flowers), and anthemon, meaning flower. Chrysanthemum is a highly attractive and charming short day plant, and these are one of the most popular flowers in the world next to the Rose only. A rapid shoot multiplication of Chrysanthemum(Chrysanthemum indicum L.).has been optimized in this book.

Sterilization leads to the complete reduction of the pathogenic microorganisms from the surface of surgical gloves after they are manufactured. It is seen that many health hazardous microbes are present on the unsterilized gloves that leads urinary tract infections, skin infections, respiratory infections and food poisoning. These microbes includes gram positive Bacillus species mostly Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis and gram negative Klebsiella pneumoniae, E.coli etc. Sterilization of gloves was done with the help of boiling,...

The book is related to the isolation of fungal strains for xylanase production using agro-industrial residues. It also provides you the information about screening and selection of fungal strains from different habitats with xylanolytic potential by using xylan agar plates which is quantitatively screened in solid-state fermentation technique. Effect of different chemical and physical factors are discussed in this book.

Pakistan is a big market where a huge amount of fruits and vegetables are grown. However, the marketing system is deficient in proper storage facilities and hence considerable post-harvest loss occurs. Pea is a perishable crop therefore it is difficult to store the peas. Food irradiation is the process of intentionally exposing good-quality food to a controlled source of ionizing radiation for such purposes as pathogen reduction, shelf-life extension, and insect disinfestation. Gamma irradiation of foods is an important source of food sterilization as they kill the microorganisms responsible...

The sterilized gauze has been used in hospitals for dressing of wounds particularly resulting from burns, severe fractures, or injuries with large, soft tissue defects. It has been seen that sometimes gauzes available commercially were not properly sterilized which causes infection. Different microbes were present on them. These microbes include mostly gram positive bacillus subtilis, Staphlococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis etc. Sterilization of gauzes was done with ethylene oxide but it is not the effective method as that of sterilization with gamma radiation using cobalt 60. The...

Radiation technology has proved to be a well established process of controlling several pathogenic microorganisms present on different food items. In this book, information and procedure of peas sterilization by using the gamma radiations has mentioned. Gamma radiations are widely been used for sterility. Radiated peas showed enhanced shelf life and reduced microbial load. Due to radiation control system, peas become safer and healthier for human consumption.
