Received 17 March, 2017; Accepted 6 July, 2017 The Lablab bean (Lablab purpureus) has potential of being an outstanding resource for human food and animal feed in tropical agricultural systems. The bean is however grossly underutilized due to anti- nutritional factors, which may affect its nutritive value and organoleptic properties. In this study, twenty-four (24) lablab bean accessions were assayed for sensory flavor characteristics and volatile compounds to identify acceptable selections for adoption and incorporation into a rationalized breeding program. Sensory tests were carried out by a panel of 11 trained evaluators. Volatile compounds were extracted using hexane and separated using gas chromatography. Sensory tests showed significant differences for the bitter taste (p≤0.05), with accession 10706 showing the highest odour and bitter taste levels, while accession 13096 had the lowest. Two hundred and sixty two (262) volatile compounds were identified and grouped into 12 classes.

The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Six genotypes viz. Great Wall 01, Great Wall 02, Great Wall 03, Great Wall 04 and Great Wall 08 were compared with Khumal Tane. Observations were recorded on fresh pod yield and yield attributing parameters. The plant vigor and plant uniformity score (1-5 scale) was not found significantly different among the tested genotypes. The highest number of pods per plant (46) was observed on the variety Great Wall 03 and the lowest number of pods (33) on Great Wall 01 followed by Khumal Tane (39). The fresh pod yield was noted the highest with Great wall 03 (24 t/ha) followed by Great Wall 2 (19.4 t/ha).The lowest yield was observed with Khumal Tane (12.7 t/ha).

Yard long bean is considered as relatively low pod yield productivity and stability because it is quite sensitive to unfavorably environmental conditions, particularly for humid tropical regions with turmoil weather. The effect of varieties on growth and yield of yard long bean was conducted at Department of Plant Science, Faculty of Natural Resources, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai campus, Thailand to test for yield and other horticultural characteristics of seven varieties of yard long bean.

Hormonal changes, especially the decreased of estrogen, considered as a main trigger of health issue like osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. While, hormon replacement therapy has many side effects, high-isoflavon diet emerge as an alternative for helping post menopause women encouter hormonal imbalance because isoflavon role as phytoestrogen. Panti wreda (elderly nursing home) is one of the parties that can help the nutritional management of postmenopausal women regularly. This research aims to looking for local food which can be used especially by elderly nursing homes as an isoflavon-contained diet. This research was carried out by in-depth interviewand observation in Panti Wreda Mandiri Salib Putih (PWMSP) Salatiga along with literature review. Daun kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) contains isoflavon and calcium which helping postmenopausal women deal with osteoporosis issue. Therefore, daun kelor (Moringa oleifera L.) can be used either by PWMSP and society as an altenative diet for postmenopausal women.

  • From the Food Bank Kitchen Thanksgiving Recipes Thanksgiving Day Is a Time Many People Get Together with Family and Friends and Enjoy a Feast
    From the Food Bank Kitchen Thanksgiving Recipes Thanksgiving Day is a time many people get together with family and friends and enjoy a feast. A typical holiday lunch or dinner includes turkey smothered in gravy, starchy side dishes high in sodium, and sugary, high-fat desserts. It is easy to over-eat and take in huge amounts of calories, carbohydrate, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium. This year, try a few healthy recipes and substitutions. When you do go for the heavy foods, stick to moderate portions and eat slowly to appreciate each bite. 1. Make some healthy swaps to your recipes. Substitute 1% milk for whole milk or light cream, or use plain fat-free Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream or mayo. Choose light turkey meat over the dark meat to save calories. Worried about flavor? You can use half of the regular ingredient, then use a lighter substitute for the rest. 2. Get moving. Instead of eating, then sitting on the couch, take a walk after eating. Or turn on some music and dance! Adding activity to the day uses up extra calories. In addition, your body burns up calories faster for a few hours after. 3. Pack your plate with veggies. Try to make half of your plate vegetables. This will not only cut the calories in your meal but can add vitamins and fiber. If you can, limit starchy side dishes like potatoes, bread, and stuffing to two choices. 4. Be wary of “sneaky” foods. “Sneaky” foods are foods that appear healthy, but actually are very high-calorie.
