Objective: To evaluate the ulcer protective effect of alcoholic extract of Bauhinia variegata in rats. Materials and methods: The anti-ulcer activity of alcoholic extract of B. variegata was evaluated against gastric ulcer induced by pyloric ligation and aspirin induced ulcer model in rats. The stomach was incised along with greater curvature and examined for ulcer. Effect of alcoholic extract of B.variegata on volume of gastric secretion, total, free acidity and ulcer index in pylorus ligated and aspirin induced ulcer rat was determined. Results: Oral administration of alcoholic extract of B. variegata decreased the volume of gastric secretion, total, free acidity and ulcer index with respect to control. Conclusion: The alcoholic extract of B. variegata possesses significant (P< 0.001) ulcer protective activity.Keywords

Many ecological studies on the diversity and distribution of freshwater planktonic cyclopoid copepods are being published and they depend upon the molecular methods for accurate taxonomic identification. The greater coverage of reference species in the genetic database, GenBank, with the decreasing costs for DNA sequencing, have made large scale plankton identification studies using molecular methods, more feasible. Here, we present a practical molecular approach to identify Thermocyclops decipiens, collected from Karapakkam Temple tank, Chennai, India. Molecular identification methods of cyclopoids included amplification of 18S rDNA. The present work on molecular phylogenetic analysis of freshwater cyclopoid copepods deals with the evolutionary relation among 12 species of freshwater cyclopoid copepods. The 18S rDNA sequences were analyzed using ClustalW, Maximum Likelihood method, Distance method and UPGMA method. The Multiple Sequences Alignment showed less score value of 52 between Thermocylops decipiens and Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides. Among 12 species of freshwater cyclopoid copepods, Mesocyclops edax and Mesocyclops darwini were single phyletic group in UPGMA method. By Maximum Likelihood analysis of Mesocyclopos thermocyclopoides, confident limit was 1.9870–7.30265 with positively significant at p<0.05 level and the distance compared with other species was 4.643516–5.873569.Keywords

Objectives: To identify growth of exports in cereals, seafood, fresh vegetable and fruits. Also to focus on preventive measures for rejections and denials on exporting food products and its raw material in International market.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The basic research procedure used to identify the growth of exports in India is through the data collected from APEDA of India. The Data has also been collected from research articles, websites, in order to comprehend the continuous issues related to exporting food products from India. The comparative study is carried out by collecting the data from 2012to 2018.
Findings: The development of exports in sea foods and cereals for the financial year 2018 shows that there are precautionary measures carried out in exports for food safety and hygiene which recorded a gradual growth. Since the fresh vegetables and fruits are highly perishable and require proper temperature during storage, there is decline in exports for about 50%. The major reasons are due to insufficient storage space for storing fruits and vegetables; > 20 % vegetables and fruits stock is spoiled during postharvest due to improper storage facilities.
Application: Despite of existing issues in exporting products for some specific countries there exists sustainable growth in food products exports, due to international supply chains management firms that have entered in to the export market. The wastage and loss could be reduced in future.
