All the synthesized compounds have been investigated using different chemical techniques, such as (H.NMR-spectra, (C.H.N)-analysis, FT.IR-spectra), melting points and biological study.

Schott) Flour https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/Ajec/article/view/152483 Taro also known as banda is an important tuber crop and is grown throughout tropical and subtropical regions of world. It is used as vegetable and is also consumed directly after boiling. The present study was conducted in the Department of Food Science and Technology N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj. Corms/cormels of six taro varieties [NDB-2, NDB-3, NDB-9, NDB-9, EC-20 and NDB-21] were converted into flour and analysed for some physico-chemical properties. In general a wide variation was observed in the chemical compositions of the flour samples analysed. On a dry weight basis, crude protein ranges between 9.30-10.90%, available carbohydrate 71.92-73.05%; crude fibre 1.00-1.69%; ash 5.78-6.65% and crude fat 0.72-0.86%. Apart from this, variety NDB-2 recorded highest amount of total sugars(6.33%). The results also revealed that the corms of variety NDB-2 contained lowest level of oxalic acid and was found suitable for preparation of chips.

The synthesized compounds structures were characarterized by several methods:{(C.H.N)-analysis, FT.IR-spectra, H.NMR-spectra} and melting points.

Macrocycles oxazepine [3-6] have been investigated by several techniques ((Uv-Visble), (C.H.N)-analyzer, (FT-IR)-spectra, H-NMR spectra, melting points).

Based on intermediates from which these secondary metabolites are derived, there are three board categories of mycotoxins, they are polyketide derived mycotoxins, formation of which requires acetyl coenzyme (Patulin, Aflatoxin and Citonin), terpene mycotoxins having mevalonic acid as intermediate (Trichothecin) and cyclic polypeptide derived mycotoxins (Giotoxin and Sparldesnium). The effect of mycotoxins may be categorized into three forms acute primary mycotoxicosis, chronic primary mycotoxicosis and secondary mycotoxin diseases. There are geographic and climatic variations in the production and occurrence of mycotoxins, exposure of these substances occur all over the world and much of the world's food supply is contaminated to some extent. FDA has estimated direct economic loses of nearby a billion dollars a year due to crop loss and another half a billion dollars in mitigating costs. Monitoring of mycotoxins is needed to avoid adverse effects on health. Risk analysis approach dealing with the problem of mycotoxins involves risk assessment and risk Management. Risk management is to ensure safe food supply will range from prevention of mould growth and setting of regulatory limits to diversion into alternate uses, control through good agricultural practices, control through processing and consumer/producer education.

Emulsions are generally categorised into single emulsions which include water-in-oil and oil-in-water and multiple emulsions including water-in-oil-in-water and oil-in- water-in-oil. Emulsions are prepared by phase inversion method, membrane emulsification method, dry gum method, and wet gum method. Continental/dry gum method or bottle/general method are most commonly employed techniques for emulsification. Membrane emulsification method which is based on principle of dispersing one immiscible phase (dispersing phase) into another phase (continuous phase) by applying pressure is used for the preparation of multiple emulsions. Emulsifier/emulgentis a substance which stabilises the emulsion by increasing the kinetic energy. Emulsifiers are generally classified based on their chemical structure into four types including synthetic, natural, finely divided solids, and auxillary agents; by mechanism of action into three categories including monomolecular films, multimolecular films, and solid particle films. There are different theories which help in understanding emulsification process which include surface tension theory, surface orientation theory, and plastic/interfacial film theory. Stability of emulsion is one of the critical parameter which is difficult to attain. The instability of emulsions is categorised into flocculation, creaming, coalescence, and breaking which were further detailed in the text. N. K. Sarathchandra Prakash Chandrika Mahendra S. J.
