Abstract

A rapid method was developed for the quantitative estimation of carbohydrates present in the different natural foodstuffs by UV-visible spectrophotometer. The sample extract of the raw rice, green gram, black gram, ground nut, guava, grape, banana, carrot, bean and milk were subjected by using anthrone as reagent for the quantitative estimation of the carbohydrate. These samples absorbance was read in UV-visible spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 750nm. The recommendation for the general population is that carbohydrate should supply 50 to 55 percent of total calories, and 130 grams per day (520 calories per day) for male and female adults and for athletes is between 55 and 65 percent of total calories.

Keywords

Abstract

A rapid method was developed for the quantitative estimation of carbohydrates present in the different natural fruits by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The sample extract of the apple, banana, custard apple, guava, papaya, grapes, pineapple, orange, pomegranate, kiwi fruit, mango, strawberries were subjected by using anthrone as reagent for the quantitative estimation of the carbohydrate. These samples absorbance was read in UV-Visible spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 750nm. The recommendation for the general population is that carbohydrate should supply 50 to 55 percent of total calories, and 130 grams per day (520 calories per day) for male and female adults and for athletes is between 55 and 65 percent of total calories.

Abstract

The present study evaluates the Anti-larvacidal of methanolic extract of Cassia occidentalis leaf, Bamboosa Vulgaris and Mukundus Saprossi at various concentrations against malarial vector. The various plant extracts exhibited larvacidal activity at different time intervals (24 hrs and 48 hrs). The mosquito larva of LC 50 and LC 90 values of Cassia occidentalis for I instar larvae 60.69%, 119.74%, the II instar 64.76%, 121.60%, III instar 67.78%, 123.35%, IV instar 70.56%, 122.81% and pupa 92.21%, 162.52% respectively.
