The Vembur sheep is a mutton breed, adapted to semi arid habitat and distributed in and around Thoothukudi, Virudhunagar and Tirunelveli districts of Tamilnadu, India. Microsatellite characterization yielded a total of 147 alleles in the sampled population for 25 marker loci under investigation, with a mean of 5.88 ± 0.29 alleles per locus. Number of alleles observed on each locus varied between two and nine. The effective number of alleles observed with a mean of 4.0950 ± 0.23 alleles per locus. The mean PIC value was 0.6905 ± 0.02. The frequency of majority of the loci returned highly significant chi-square values suggesting departure from HWE. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) values varied between 0.1333 and 1.0000, while the expected (He) values ranged from 0.4847 to 0.8537. The mean values were 0.5202 ± 0.04 and 0.7339 ± 0.02 respectively. FIS estimates were negative for three loci indicating more heterozygous nature of the population. The mean value observed was 0.2954 ± 0.31.Keywords

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a tropical fruit and grown in many parts of the world predominantly in the Mediterranean region. Fresh seeds (arils) are consumed. Arils contain around 80 per cent of juice and 20 per cent of seed. However, quick browning and desiccation are the important concerns of quality during postharvest storage. To prevent quick moisture loss and browning of arils, applied different concentrations of black cumin seed oil and starch as a coating to improve the shelf life and quality of arils. Results showed that pomegranate arils coated with Nigella sativa oil at 200 ppm concentration recorded significantly lowest total sugars content and titrable acidity during the initial stages, whereas at later stages recorded significantly highest total sugars (14.408 and 13.687, respectively on days 12 and 16) and titrable acidity (0.382 and 0.358 on day 12 and 16). Further, arils treated with Nigella sativa oil at 200 ppm concentration recorded significantly lowest per cent of spoilage, physiological loss in weight and recorded significantly highest antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid and anthocyanins content. At the end, it was noticed that edible coating did not affect the natural flavour of pomegranate arils.Keywords
