A highly lipase producing Bacillus sp. was isolated from soil under optimized culture conditions such as medium pH, temperature, incubation period, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, lipid sources and various surfactants at different concentrations. The medium pH of 7.0 and temperature of 40oC were optimum for maximizing lipase production. The maximal yield of lipase production by Bacillus sp. was obtained after incubation periods ranging between 3 and 4 days. Casein produced maximum lipase (6.5±0.015) U/ml) as compared to others nitrogen sources and the medium containing starch was more suitable for maximum lipase (15.60±0.20) U/ml) production than other carbon sources. The gingily oil was found to be most suitable for maximizing the lipase production (20.52±0.20) U/ml). The studies on the influence of surfactants on lipase production revealed that maximum lipase production was induced by tween-20 ((27.10±0.01) U/ml).

The physiological weight loss and cooking quality of four month stored brown rice at 12 per cent, 14 per cent and 16 per cent moisture contents (w.b.) were stored in different indigenous storage structures (mud bin, jute bag and polypropylene bag) at prevailing environmental conditions such as weight loss in percentage and cooking index (CI) of brown rice during storage were studied for single variety of paddy (Sugandha). It was found that weight loss percentages increased with number of storage days. The physical weight loss observed in polypropylene bag at the end of four month was 4.80, 5.33 and 6.44 per cent at 12, 14 and 16 per cent moisture content, respectively. While in mud bin was 4.98, 5.86 and 7.12 per cent and in jute bag 5.22, 6.55 and 8.00 per cent at 12, 14 and 16 per cent moisture content, respectively. While studying cooking qualities of brown rice, it was observed that cooking time reduces with advances in storage period. In polypropylene bag cooking time reduces to (65 seconds), followed by mud bin (50 seconds) and jute bag (42 seconds). Cooking time was no significant change observed at different moisture contents. However, the maximum cooking index was found in polypropylene bag followed by mud bin and jute bag in all moistures levels.Keywords

Freshly harvest tomato after washing with water packaged in LDPE packages of various thicknesses viz., 25, 37.5 and 50μm and 0, 4 and 8 perforations of 1.0 mm diameter each and a separate sample was taken for comparison under ambient storage conditions (31.2±2°C and 74.5±3% RH) with a view to improve the storage life and quality. Packaged fruit were assessed for Gas concentrations (O2 and CO2) and quality parameters such as PLW, colour, firmness, lycopene content, TSS, titrable acidity and sensory evaluation. Results obtained were analyzed statistically with the help of ANOVA and DMRT (α = 0.05). Higher O2 concentration (16.10%), lower CO2 evolute (7.41%) was observed in 37.5 μm packaging with 8 perforations. Lower PLW was observed to be 3.78 per cent and 3.97 per cent of initial weight in non-perforated 25μm and 37.5μm, respectively. TCD was observed to lowest (8.10) and firmess better retained by 37.5μm with 8 perforation. Among all the treatments, 37.5μm LDPE packages with 8 perforations were found to be the best package and cherry tomato could be stored for upto 2 weeks under low temperature storage conditions.Keywords

Rauvolfia serpentina is gifted with unique alkaloids that have remarkable medicinal properties and is being pronounced as “Wonder drug of India”. Several Ayurvedic preparations containing Rauvolfia plant parts are available in the market. The activity of crude enzyme in Rauvolfia serpentina was highest in mature leaf-1 (100%) followed by very young leaf (94.715%), whereas lowest in ischolar_main (9.829%). It was noticed that very young leaf and young leaf have highest protein 7.4573 and 3.8344 mg/ml, respectively and lowest protein content was found in stem (0.1689 mg/ml) of Rauvolfia serpentina. Young leaf contained highest number of isoforms (3).Keywords

Among the several methods to determine anthropogenic pollutants in the soil, magnetic susceptibility measurements have proven to be useful for rapid and effective diagnosis of magnetic particles and overall screening of pollution. Magnetic particles and other heavy metals accumulated in the topsoil as a result of roadside pollution, contribute to the bulk magnetic susceptibility (c). Thus, c values of the soil can be utilized as a proxy to delineate the zones of high and low roadside pollution in an area. In this study, magnetic susceptibility measurements of the topsoil have been carried out and a quantitative assessment of roadside pollution in the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) campus, Varanasi, India is presented. Based on the c values of 212 soil samples covering 1300 acres of the campus, zones of high and low roadside pollution are demarcated. The present study has not only deciphered the spatial variation of pollutants in the BHU campus, but has also characterized the magnetic phases responsible for the susceptibility signal on the roadsides inside the campus. The obtained results are crucial for environmental monitoring and prioritization of land use and other anthropogenic activities inside the BHU campus. The modus operandi adopted here would be beneficial for mapping areas exposed to different levels of pollution intensity, for tracing the pollution transport and can be effectively applied to various ecosystemsKeywords

From the prehistoric, ancient age to the modern-day, genus Rubus species are already known for their healing properties such as in neurodegenerative and psychological disorders, cancer, diarrhoea, colic pain, diabetes, nephrological, and inflammatory disorders. Based on their phytochemistry and pharmacology it is an attempt to achieve a greater knowledge of the biological significance of these herbal medicinal plants. The ultimate aim of this review is to deliver the magnification of research at the cellular and molecular level in the management of nervous breakdowns and other diseases. An exhaustive literature search was performed by online databases such as Springer, Scopus, and Elsevier. In this review, the different novel medicinal plants belong to the genus Rubus, used to treat enormous ailments based on traditional and literature search, their potential bioactive species belong to the same genus.
