The present investigation was carried out with the objectives to study the effect of keeping time period on acidity of fruit juices and determination of fungal growth in fruit juices. Only those fruit juice samples were taken for study which are mostly consumed by the common people for their health issue. Ten fruit juice samples (orange, pomegranate, mosambi, green grapes, purple grapes, lemon, mango, apple, pineapple and papaya)were taken for study. These fruits were brought to the laboratory for measuring the pH and titratable acidity in fruit juices and also identifying the fungal growth in fruit juices. The results of the present study revealed that that pH of fruit juices increased during storage. Keeping time period affects the titratable acidity of different fruit juices. Titratable acidity increased with increasing keeping time period. Fungi were isolated from all the fruit juices which were stored for specific keeping time periods ( 0 hrs, 24 hrs, 36 hrs and 48 hrs). The isolates were characterized and identified as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and species of Rhizopus and Mucor.Keywords

A number of proteolytic enzymes are widely employed in food industries for cheese manufacture. The coagulant which is widely used in cheese production or manufacturing of cheese is animal rennet, which contains chymosin, an asparatic protease which is responsible for milk clotting. Thus, there's a need for the identification of a milk clotting enzyme from other sources that can meet the industrial demand of rennet. In this context, the present investigation was carried out in order to extract a milk clotting enzyme from different plant sources which can be utilized in cheese production. Three plants, Carica papaya, Euphorbia splendens and Musa paradasica belonging to the families Annonaceace, Euphorbiaceae and Musaceae were examined for the presence of proteinases in the present study. The proteinase activity was estimated by determining the milk clotting property of crude latex by identifying specific activity through their partial purification. The results indicated that Carica papaya plant latex had the highest milk clotting activity (2006.20 3.77 U/ ml) than Musa paradasica (187.19 4.44U/ml) and minimum in Europhorbia splendens (105.20 4.15 U/ ml) (p =0.01). SDS-PAGE analysis of the plant latex exhibiting maximum milk clotting activity displayed 5 bands ranging from 14.3 KD to 97.4 KD.Keywords

The use of microwave cooking is tremendously increasing day by day as it is convenient, fast and economical. But, various evidences shows that microwaves destroy the nutrients of food, may create carcinogens in food, and unnecessary exposure to radiation can create several health issues. On the other hand, several studies reveal that if the consumer follows safety instructions carefully then microwave cooking may result in food with nutrient quality similar to those cooked by other cooking methods. Food safety is an important health issue, thus, there is a need to deal with the various aspects of microwaving. In this context, this review paper focuses on the effect of microwave cooking on different food items and biological systems.Keywords

Malnutrition is major problem in India. Nutrition plays important role in development of growth and development of child. In many developing countries poor nutritional status is mainly due to illiteracy, poverty, least job opportunities etc. Poor hygiene, intestinal infection, worm infestation are another important groups leading malnutrition in India. Malnutrition affects physical growth, morbidity, mortality, cognitive development, reproduction and physical work capacity and it consequently impacts on human performance, health and survival. It is an underlying factor in many diseases for both children and adults. The present study was cross-sectional. The study sample (150) was collected by purposive and random sampling techniques. Maximum children were belonged to age group 10-15 years. Pretested and predesigned questionnaire was used in the survey. Measurements were taken by standard techniques (Jelliffe, 1966). Body mass index (BMI) for boys and girls was calculated by using formula BMI = Weight (kg)/Height2 (m) according WHO. It was found that 88 per cent children were underweight, 12 per cent were normal and not a single overweight child was found. The daily food intake of school going children was lower than Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA).Keywords

Overweight and obesity is a major health concern in today's era. It is escalating day by day due to rapid change in diet, lack of physical activity and lifestyle. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has described obesity as one of today's most neglected public health problem, affecting every region of the globe. According to World Health Statistics of 2012 report, one in six adults is obese, one in ten is diabetic and one in three has raised blood pressure. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio can be considered as a useful tool to assess obesity. The objective of the present study is to assess the prevalence of obesity, food consumption pattern and dietary intake of working women in Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. A pilot study was done on 50 respondents (working women) in BHU and the respondents were selected by Simple random sampling technique. From the present study the prevalence of obesity was found 68 per cent according to worldwide BMI, 74 per cent according to Asian countries BMI and 72 per cent according to waist-hip ratio. In context of food consumption pattern, 42 per cent of the respondents include fruits daily and 64 per cent of them include ischolar_mains and tuber mainly potato daily in their diet. Protein and fat consumption of the respondents was high as compared to RDA 2010. The results of the study suggested that more than half of the respondents suffering from the problem of obesity. Therefore, there is a need to develop strategies to combat the problem of obesity.Keywords

The prevalence of underweight among infants in India is highest in the world. In India child malnutrition rates are higher even though income levels are higher and infant's mortality rates is lower. The present study is carried out on infants of Varanasi to find out their growth and nutritional status in the first year of life and their socio-economic status. It was a cross sectional survey carried out on infants of 3 to 12 months of age of Varanasi. For growth and nutritional status all anthropometric and clinical measurements were recorded by using standard techniques. Information regarding nutrient intake was recorded by using 24 hour dietary recall method and S.E.S was recorded by the pretested questionnaire. The result came that 66 per cent of Varanasi infants was malnourished and low S.E.S was one of the main factor for undernutrition among them. It is concluded that major cause of undernutrition is lack of knowledge about nutrition and breast feeding habits, poor economic conditions etc. For weaning infants starchy food would prefer most other than protein rich foods. Due to shortage of economy and production and preparation of baby foods the essential nutrient requirements of babies are not fulfilled. Therefore, it is needed to review our policies and proper nutrition education about pre-weaning and post-weaning habits should be given to the mothers.Keywords

Malnutrition is widely recognized as a major health problem in developing countries. Growing children in particular are most vulnerable to its consequences. Cases with mild-to-moderate malnutrition are likely to remain unrecognized because clinical criteria for their diagnosis are imprecise and are difficult to interpret accurately. Malnutrition are one of the largest public health problems of our country. It is a condition which arises due to the deficiency of protein and calorie in the diet. Although it affects all ages, the results are drastic in childhood due to the highest requirements in that period. Malnutrition limits development and the capacity to learn. It also costs lives: about 50 per cent of all childhood deaths are attributed to malnutrition. In India, around 46 per cent of all children below the age of three are too small for their age, 47 per cent are underweight and at least 16 per cent are wasted. Many of these children are severely malnourished. The present study was carried out on 200 school going children in selected area of Varanasi by cluster and purposive random sampling method. Maximum children were belong to age group 10 to 15 years. Measurements were taken by standard techniques (Jelliffee, 1968). Pre-tested and pre-designed questionnaire was used in the survey. The present study is undertaken to evaluate the food consumption pattern of children and its relation with their BMI. Out of which 92.5 per cent were underweight and 7.5 per cent were normal. The daily food intakes of school going children were lower than RDA. The data revealed that wheat, pulses, rice and vegetables are consumed daily and on the other hand fruits, milk and milk product, oil and fats, sugar and jaggery are less consumed. Therefore, the method of preparation of some recipes are suggested for malnourished children. These recipes were evaluated by numerical scoring test and their nutritive value was determined by standard methods.Keywords

Ageing is an irreversible process associated with numerous physiological alterations across multiple organ systems. It is determined by genetic and epigenetic background in addition to environmental factors associated with social structure, culture and lifestyle. Recently different studies have shown that calorie restriction (CR) plays a noticeable role in the path of delaying senescence by modulating epigenetic factors and metabolic pathways. CR elicits co-ordinated adaptive stress responses at the cellular and whole organism level by modulating epigenetic mechanisms (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modification and miRNA modification ), signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and ageing (e.g., TOR, AMPK, p53 and FOXO ) and cell-to cell signaling molecules (e.g., adiponectin ). Despite of this fact, CR appears to be one of the common ways to increase lifespan in all species. Nutrient sensing pathways are also considered as contributing factors in ageing process because several nutrients can activate different pathways directly or indirectly. Therefore, this review paper focuses on how the epigenetic factors can be influenced by CR during senescence.Keywords

Nutritional status the condition of health of an individual and it can be evaluated in many ways, but BMI is the most established anthropometric indicator used for assessment of adult nutritional status. Objectives of the present study are to assess the nutritional status (BMI) of urban and rural adults of Varanasi district and to determine the association between BMI and socio-economic status. A community based crossectional study was undertaken on 304 adults (Urban 152, Rural 152), 18-60 years of age group. A pre-tested and pre-designed questionnaire was used to collect the information for the study. Socio-economic and demographic information of study subject was assessed by interview technique. BMI was calculated using the formula [weight(kg)/height (mt)2]. Both the community was the hindu dominant out of which majority of proportion are GEN caste. Rural subjects have significantly low educational status and low socio-economic status as compare to urban subjects. The proportions of rural males were significantly more than the urban males in case of doing heavy work. There was no significant difference in average BMI, between urban and rural areas of male as well as female subjects. Only 11.1 per cent and 9.8 per cent of urban and rural males and 25.8 per cent and 30.8 per cent of urban and rural females are in underweight category of BMI. There is no significant difference in average BMI of male as well as female subjects between urban and rural locality with reference to their various socio-economic and demographic variables with the exception of high socio-economic status, among male subjects, among heavy type of work, among low and medium socio-economic status in females, respectively.Keywords

Diabetic patients encounter several difficulties in complying with the dietary regime. They express feelings of dietary deprivation and rigid dietary control is perceived as the only way to a proper diet and weight management. The main aim of the study is to know the impact of counseling on anthropometry, biochemical values and dietary intake of diabetic patients. The present paper is a compilation of studies carried out on diabetic patients from year 2000 to 2014. The result shows the prevalence rate, BMI, nutrient consumption pattern and blood values (Fasting and post prandial sugar level) of pre and posts diet counseling. The main objectives of the studies carried out in different years were to assess the impact of diet counseling on the blood values and BMI of the studied diabetic patients.All the studies were carried out on patients attending OPD of Endocrinology Department Sir Sunderlal Hospital Varanasi. Samples were selected purposively. The pre- tested questionnaires were used to assess their nutritional status. The 24 hour diet recall method was used to assess their dietary intake. Patients of all the year were based on diet and drug. Based on the studies of all the survey it can be concluded that from year 2000 to 2014 there has been a significant change in the food intake of diabetic patients. According to their weight a difference in BMI was observed. Blood value of patients has also changed due to effect of diet and BMI.Keywords

Under nutrition, overweight and obesity of individuals who differ by age and sex are matters of great concern having social and health implications for countries around the world. According to NFHS report (1998-99), based on weight for height index (body mass index), more than one-third (36%) of women in Uttar Pradesh are undernourished. Health status of women is of great concern in the contemporary world, because of the multiple roles play by women given rise to serious health and nutritional problems. Women are, thus, vulnerable to malnutrition for social and biological reasons. A cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine anthropometric profile and nutritional status based on body mass index (BMI) of muslim females in Varanasi. A total of 220 females (aged 15-45years) residing in urban area of Varanasi was studied. Anthropometric profile including height, weight, waist circumference as well as BMI and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were measured. The main aim of the study was to determine their anthropometric characteristics and nutritional status through the assessment of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-Hip ratio. It was found that 35.5%, 36.8%, 14.1% and 13.6% were under weight, normal, pre-obese (overweight) and obese, respectively on the basis of Asian BMI categorization. On the account of waist-hip ratio, 42.7% respondents were at high health risk whereas 57.3% were at low health risk. This study will provide baseline data for further studies on Muslim women in India and will help to plan and implement a comprehensive package for the management of their nutritional status.Keywords
