Effect of feed moisture and sugar content on the Increase in feed moisture and sugar content on the functional and sensory attributes of the rice porridge mix was studied. An increase in the moisture content and sugar content resulted in the decrease in expansion ratio with the increase in bulk density thereby affecting the sensory quality of rice porridge mix. Instant rice porridge mix remained stable and acceptable for 9 and 12 months in PP and MP packaging materials under ambient temperature conditions. Irrespective of packaging materials and the storage period, porridge mixes get reconstituted in hot water within 1 minute.

  • The Unsung Heroes Fighting Coronavirus in India
    COVID-19: DRDO’s Contribution Sun, 19 April 2020 The unsung heroes fighting coronavirus in India With about 58 laboratories/complexes strung across the country, DRDO is a massive science and technology organisation for defence applications, which has developed thousands of products for use by the Indian Army, the Air Force, and the Navy. Its facilities are now being used to manufacture ventilators, testing kiosks, disinfection chambers, sanitisers, personal protective equipment, and even ready to eat food. By T.S. Subramanian It was writer's block, although it lasted only a day. For a whole day on April 15, 2020, this writer struggled to get a lead for this particular column on an unsung hero - the Defence Research and Development's Organisation's (DRDO) multi-sided contribution to battling the COVID-19 crisis in India. The facts were available, but an arresting lead would not emerge. As it happened, Shahida, who studied M.A. with this writer in Madras Christian College (MCC), Tambaram, sent a video to our WhatsApp group late in the evening of April 15. The video dealt with how Air India, without any fanfare, did a superb job of evacuating Indians stranded in Wuhan, China and Milan, Italy; it ferried medical supplies to Colombo, Sri Lanka, from India, and so on. The video dealt with how, on January 31, 2020, Air India flew two rescue flights to Wuhan to bring back stranded Indians; how on February 27, it brought back 119 Indians and five foreigners stuck on a cruise ship, off Japan's coast; how on March 15, 2020, it flew to Milan to bring back 211 stranded Indian students there; and on March 21, 2020, it rescued 263 Indians from Rome, Italy.

    Millennium Alliance Round 4 Awardee List AGRICULTURE 1) CropConnect Enterprises Pvt Ltd: Original Indian Table seeks to bring to consumers (both B2B and B2C) traditional foods directly sourced from farms that engage in healthy and safe agricultural practices. They help farmers commercialize their products and increase their incomes. 2) Chitkara University: Their innovation is an irreversible cell necrosis of weeds done selectively by using radio frequency irradiation.

    MyLittleMoppet 15 Easy Khichdi Recipes for Babies About Hi, I am Dr.Hemapriya (call me Hema, pls) :) I am a mommy two times over, a naughty 6 year old son and a bubbly 2 year old daughter. I have been where you are now, twiddling my thumbs as what to feed the baby today, how will she react and many other mommie troubles. When it comes to motherhood, expect the unexpected. The news of expecting the bundle of joy is un-parallel. While we get all pampered up during our pregnancy, rarely do we get to hear what to expect next, ie after child birth…ie.. apart from holding the tiny one close to our chest. For some strange reason, no one warns a mother-to-be about the sleepless nights that are to come after child birth. Not to mention, the constant anxiety and self- doubt about the things we plan to do for our bundles of joy. Any apprehension is faced with “You will learn along the way" or “No one ever told us, and we raised you pretty good" or “What do u expect, a certificate course of motherhood?" Things were just the same for me too. I had my share of anxiety, and apprehensions in spite of being a qualified doctor. Raising my son as a baby wasn't very difficult with my mom and mother-in-law around to help me. My Daughter was born far away from home and looking after my infant daughter sparked so many doubts and queries, be it either bathing or feeding her.
