Momordica charantia is used for some medicinal purposes in traditional medicine. The phytochemical composition of bitter gourd was investigated using standard analytical methods. Phytochemicals like tannin, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, phlobatinnins and anthraquinones were also found present/absent. The proximate composition showed the per cent of tannin, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids and saponins. The study indicates the presence of phytochemical components that are beneficial in addition to the purported numerous medicinal value of Momordica charantia. Momordica charantia was collected and extracted in 50ml of solvent i.e., ethanol, methanol, acetone aqueous and petroleum ether, respectively.Keywords
Momordica Charantia, Saponin, Tannin, Alkaloid, Polyphenol, Flavonoid.

The experiment was carried out with the objective to study and compare the quality characteristics of nendran cultivated by organic and conventional farming techniques. Parameters selected for the study were physical characteristics, sensory qualities, chemical and nutrient composition, anti nutrient profile and pesticide residue. With respect to physical characteristics appearance and total number of hands per bunch were on par among the treatments. Number of fruits per hand and peel thickness were significantly higher in organically cultivated nendran. With respect to sensory qualities, organically cultivated nendran showed significantly higher difference in texture and taste. Storage studies revealed uniform life period for nendran in both treatments. Among the treatments vitamin C, total soluble solids and total mineral content were significantly higher in organically cultivated nendran. Organic nendran recorded higher value for tannin while conventionally cultivated nendran showed higher phenol content. However pesticide residue analysis showed nil results in both treatments.Keywords

Smoking is one of the biggest health hazards today and is a status symbol among urban educated youth. Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for chronic disepses and invariably robs the body of disease-preventing antioxidants. Simone reported that over 2,28,700 deaths occur from cardiovascular diseases and more than 50,000 deaths from chronic lung disease, all as a result of smoking.- Storage Studies on Red Palm Oil
