The present investigation was carried out to determine the effect of milling methods on quality parameter of the Byadagi chilli. The dried chillies were milled to obtain powder using selected milling machines viz., spice pulveriser, low temperature pulveriser and cryogenic grinder. The quality parameters viz., colour, ascorbic acid, capsaicin content and pH of chilli powder obtained from cryogenic grinder is significantly different from spice pulveriser followed by low temperature grinder. The colour values of cryogrinder chilli powder were observed to be 40.15 (L*), 33.66 (a*) and 36.80 (b*)...

This study aims to determine land use change and runoff using the USDA Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN) method for Chaka block, located at 24o 47'00"N to 25o 47'00"N North latitude and 81o 19'00"E to 82o 21'00"E longitude, situated at Allahabad district, Uttar Pradesh .Antecedent moisture content (AMC) was calculated by taking preceding five days rainfall which gave three conditions AMC I, AMC II and AMC III. Weighted Curve Number for the entire selected micro-watershed was calculated based on site information of the block and found to be 78 for AMC II. The CN values...
