Principes and Practices of Small- and Medium-Scale Fruit Juice Processing FAO AGRICULTURAL SERVICES BULLETIN 146 Rome, 2001 FOREWORD This bulletin presents both theoretical and practical information on the processing of fruit and vegetable juices, thus offering the reader both the principles and practices of small and medium-scale fruit juice processing. While large-scale juice processing is the subject of many textbooks and other printed or electronic publications, small-scale operations generally receive very little attention. The purpose of this publication is to fill the gap in information available to professionals as well as private entrepreneurs, mainly in developing countries. It is the medium and small-scale agro-industries that more appropriately fill the needs and capabilities of these countries, considering the available volume of production and the capacity of local markets to absorb products. The bulletin is divided into two parts. The first gives the general principles of fruit and vegetable juice processing. It starts with a general history and background of juice production and continues through fruit composition, juice grades, harvesting and post-harvest handling of the fruit, and on to the general principles of juice manufacturing and presentation. It also covers the processing related products such as jams, jellies, pectin, essential oil etc. The second part describes in detail the processing of specific juices as well as the major by-products. Citrus juice, especially orange juice, receives particular attention. Specific chapters are dedicated to grape, apple, stone fruits as well as a long list of tropical fruits. The methods of processing of major vegetable juices are also covered. Finally, the publication presents a list of printed as well as electronic sources of information for further reading. FAO will be pleased to receive comments and provide any additional information required.

Received 23 February 2020 Accepted 31 March 2020 Scientific studies on these fruits are multiplying, including chemical characterizations and biological investigations onin vitro and in vivo experimental models. This review concerns four edible fruits:Hylocereus undatus (dragon fruit), Annona cherimola Keywords (cherimoya), Citrus australasica (finger lime), andAverrhoa carambola (carambola or star fruit). By screening biomedical Superfruits databases, viz. Scopus, WOS, and PubMed, a total of 131 papers have been selected.

  • Food Diet for Transgender Before Hormone Replacement Therapy
    ====================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:1 January 2019 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ===================================================================== Food Diet for Transgender before Hormone Replacement Therapy Dr. K. Sindhu, Asst. Professor and M. Aravindh, Ph.D. Scholar ======================================================================= This paper describes some of the healthcare needs of transgender people before hormone replacement therapy. Gender identity is one of the most important concerns of human psychology. Sexual identity causes big humiliation for transgenders. They need steady help and support from the health care centers. The situation still gets worst when they do not get sufficient support from their own kin, as well as society. “In a survey, 28 percent of participants (transgender people) reported postponing medical care due to discrimination from their health care providers, while 19 percent reported being refused medical care completely” (Breeding Zachari). Lack of knowledge about the gender identity disorder and absence of defined conventions in the society may be the major attributes for this problem. Transgender people are already in a constant inner conflict between soul and body. This conflict with the society leads to hampered communications and miscellaneous relationships within family, friends and colleagues. Transgender people are often rejected by their parents, peers, and marginalised in the society. They are frequently not engaged in necessary mental and physical health care due to barriers arising from both their gender minority status and the barriers associated with homelessness. In order to improve transgender individuals’ health, a rightly dosage of food is must. It is important to understand the conditions for which this population is most at risk, the role of food during the hormone therapy.

However, the South tends to neglect and even to negate certain peoples and their identities. Women, especially lesbians, are often silenced within southern literature. Where Tennessee Williams and James Baldwin used literature to bridge gaps between gay men and the South, southern lesbian literature severely lacks a traceable history of such connections.
