Banana centre core also known as Pseudostem, a biological waste in banana plantations could be effectively utilized as a source for incorporation in bakery food products preparations by converting them into flour. In this study, an attempt was made to develop a process for the value addition of banana central core, by drying and powdering. Cleaned and sliced banana centre core was dried in a cabinet dryer/Tray dryer different temperatures (50, 60 & 70℃) temperature. The dried samples were ground into powder form. The drying characteristics and the quality of the dried material and flour were analysed for the physicochemical properties. The sample dried at 70℃ temperature was found to be better in terms of quality of the flour. This powder was used for the preparation of biscuits by incorporating at various levels. The quality of the biscuits were also analyzed.

Moderating Role

Purpose This study aims to test the role of infrastructure for economic growth. For this purpose, panel data of the world is selected from 1998 to 2018 and the study has used slope moderator to test the productivity of real economic activity with economic growth. Design/methodology/approach In this context, the feasible generalized least square method is adopted to estimate the results. Four types of infrastructure indicators i.e. quality of air, port, rail and road are used along with disaggregated GDP. Findings According to the results of this study, the role of industrial and agricultural value addition without infrastructure is negative. For industrial value addition, the cross product with all infrastructure types positively impacts economic growth. All the infrastructures, along with services value addition, except seaport, are contributing to economic growth positively. Along with agriculture value addition, only road infrastructure is contributing to economic growth positively. This study has also used two control variables i.e. quality of education and institutions. These variables are also found to be positive and significant with economic growth. Originality/value This study explores the moderating role of quality of infrastructure sector on real sector productivity, which is leading to economic growth.

After the local war, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have been facing huge problems in Jaffna District and they have poor quality of product and services. The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaningful value addition strategies to access standards for products of micro, small and medium entrepreneurs (MSMEs) for establishing a competitive advantage. Coconut is vital sector of SMEs and also one of the major resources in Jaffna district. This sector has the greatest prospects for growth and development. Value addition for coconut based productions leads to more quality and creates adequate demand for the products. Thus researcher scoped coconut sector among the MSMEs. The research is qualitative in nature with exploratory narrative research. Under purposive sampling technique, the owners or managers of enterprises and stake holders of MSMEs were interviewed by using unstructured questions to explore the value addition. The author proposed two momentous models; they are model of values addition strategies to access standards as a tool for competitive advantage and collaborative institutional model to access standards with the participation of government and non-government organizations. The findings are; first model induces MSMEs to access standards and second model explains the means to achieve the standard. Especially this research expresses the essential of sincere collaborative work of institutions towards the quality productions and development of MSMEs. Further this research points out that the notion of value addition practices has been evolved and is increasingly understood consideration for economic development of Sri Lanka.

The post-harvest technology is one of the most novel techniques to value addition for jam preparation in highly nutritious and demanding fruits like jackfruits in all the year round. The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Sugar Concentrations per 500g fruit; S1 :200g sugar; S2 :250g sugar; S3 :300g sugar and Factor B: Preservatives per 500g fruit; P0 :no preservative; P1 :- sodium benzoate (1.4g); P2 :potassium metabisulphite (0.8g). All the samples were kept in pre-sterilizedglass bottles andstored at room temperature. Results obtained from statistical analysis showed that different sugar concentrations and preservation had significant effect on physico-chemical and organoleptic characteristics. After 90 days of storage, jam were found acceptable condition. Considering laboratory test, qualitative and organoleptic test, S2 P2 was found the best. The quality parameters of S2 P2 viz. moisture content (26.01%), pH (4.12), TSS (70%), TA (0.26%), vitamin C (1.68mg/100g). This suggested that 500g jackfruit pulp +250g sugar +0.8g potassium metabisulphite was the promising formulation for the preparation of good quality of jackfruit jam.

In India, Chhattisgarh is famous as Herbal state with its beautiful natural resources of forests and agricultural fields and value addition has been done so far in Chhattisgarh to maintain or improve the quality of the plants before the material reaches the industry. Presently, the herbal industry in Chhattisgarh is not very organized. The plant derived gums, mucilages from natural sources like carrageen an, thaumatin, lard, storax, agar, gum acacia, tragacanth and many more to name comply with many requirements of pharmaceutical excipients. These can be preferred for formulation development as being stable and involving less regulatory issues as compared to their synthetic counter parts. They can also be easily modified to meet the specific needs, thereby being a potent and economic vehicle for delivering active pharmaceutical ingredient in formulation. Thus our concerned and aims of the study is to throw light on the potential of natural excipients which can be proposed to be used as diluent, binder, disintegrant as well as lubricant in various types of formulations as they are biocompatible and capable of giving additional nutrition to the developed dosage form from indigeneous sources of Chhattisgarh state which could serve for cost effective and economical medicament and will enhance the value addition to the proposed herb and herbal species.

Timber Market

Timber marketing channel is a route of distribution through which the timber moves from the producer to the consumer or user. There are six levels of business units which constitute the marketing channel of timber in Bangladesh. Functional differential of each level and business operational cost are the two major factors for value addition along the timber marketing channel. Though there has been always an increase in product price at each level, the increment has not been uniform, rather unevenly distributed along the channel. The value addition is higher at the beginning and end of the marketing channel in relation to other intermediate levels. Again, timber price is varied species to species depending on the quality of timber. Teak price has been the highest in timber market in Bangladesh. This study will provide an identification and in-depth analysis of timber marketing channel prevailing in Bangladesh.

Coir Fibre

Coir pith is being considered as the reject generated during the extraction of coir fibre from coconut husks. It is a light weight and fluffy material with dusts and bits of fibres. The coir pith has many undesirable components and hence it does not carry any value addition. It needs to be degraded for the effective utilization for further activities. Microbes have the ability to decompose coir pith. Coir pith itself posses its own native microbes. Hence in the present study, raw coir pith and the soil dumped with coir pith in the dumping yards along the vicinity of the coir fibre factories were subjected for the enumeration and characterization of microorganisms. The coir pith for the study was collected from two locations in Cuddalore District. The results exhibited the presence of huge quantity of microbes in the raw coir pith than the coir pith dumped soil. Furthermore, the percentage occurrence of bacteria was significantly higher when compared with that of the fungi and actinomycetes. Totally 12 species of bacteria, six species of fungi and three species of actinomycetes were recorded. The results showed significant variation in the quantity and quality of the microbes.
