Milk and milk products play an important role in human nutrition as they are having excellent nutritional qualities. Ice creams which are highly palatable, nutritious and commercially important dairy product can sometimes become a potential source of health hazard, by causing food poisoning outbreaks or by acting as a carrier of pathogens or by adulteration. The present study was attempted to evaluate the quality of ice creams. For this, samples were collected in triplicates in previously sterilized containers, from five prominent shops of Bikaner city. The average moisture, crude protein, fat, total ash, carbohydrate, energy, calcium and phosphorus content was ranged from 59.74-65.06 g%, 3.06-4.46 g%, 9.00-14.06 g%, 2.35-3.12 g%, 18.24-21.04 g%, 175-222 Kcal, 589-757 mg%, and 648-784 mg%, respectively. Forty per cent, 20 per cent and 60 per cent ice cream samples were noted to be of satisfactory quality with respect to SPC, faecal; E.coli, coliform and; psychrophilic count, respectively. Presence or absence of adulterants like starch and metanil yellow were also detected, but all the samples were found to be devoid of adulterants.Keywords

Dairy products are universally known for their nutritional and therapeutic values. Kulfi is the popular Indian frozen concentrated milk product, which is an ice cream like product, has been quoted in literature in different ways like Kulfi, Kulffi, Kulafi, Kulfy, Kulphy. Kulfi which is one of the most popular and nutritious dairy product can sometimes become a potential source of health hazard, by causing food poisoning outbreaks or by acting as a carrier of pathogens or by adulteration. The present study was attempted to evaluate the quality of Kulfi. For this, samples were collected in triplicates in previously sterilized containers, from five prominent shops of Bikaner city. The average moisture, crude protein, fat, total ash, carbohydrate, energy, calcium and phosphorus content was ranged from 42.36-57.20 g %, 6.56-9.28 g %, 10.13-18.56 g %, 3.35-4.35 g %, 15.01-35.16 g %, 233-273 Kcal, 683-718 mg %, and 736-901 mg %, respectively. Forty per cent and 20 per cent samples were noted to be of satisfactory quality with respect to SPC and faecal streptococcal count, respectively. Presence or absence of adulterants like starch and metanil yellow were also detected, but all the samples were found to be devoid of starch but in 20 per cent samples the inedible color that is metanil yellow was present. With respect to the possibility of adulteration and microbial contamination, quality of Kulfi remains in question.Keywords

Urolithiasis is a multi-factorial disease involving genetic and environmental factors. The increased incidence of urolithiasis has been associated with variations in its epidemiology like age, gender, distribution of the disease and also type and location of the calculi. Present study describes clinical profile of patients suffering from urolithiasis and visiting urology department of Prince Bijoy Singh Memorial (PBM) Government Hospital, Bikaner (Rajasthan). Detailed history and physical examination was carried out with a pretested questionnaire, with respect to age, gender and location of the calculus. Out of 172 subjects studied, 55.23 per cent were males and 44.77 per cent were females belonging to the age of 20 to 40 years. In majority of male and female subjects the site of stone formation was kidney (48.26%), followed by ureter (34.30%), bladder (8.14%), multiple site (4.65%), pelvic-ureteric junction (2.91%), vesiculo - ureteric junction (1.16%) and urethra (0.58%). Irrespective of gender and age, 65.70 per cent of the subjects were having single stone and rest (34.30%) had multiple stone formations. Majority of the subjects (29.07%) complained for renal colic, nausea, vomiting and burning on urination. Few subjects (8.72% and 9.30%) also complained for hematuria and fever.Keywords
