<p>Functional properties such as protein solubility, swelling capacity, water holding capacity, gelling ability, bulk density and foaming capacity of flours of some commonly used cereals and legume (wheat, refined wheat, maize and chickpea) and their blends were studied. Blends of flours were prepared by mixing equal proportions of selected floors. Statistically significant difference  in studied functional properties except bulk density was observed among cereal flours and their blends. Chickpea flour was found to possess comparatively high water holding capacity, protein solubility index and swelling capacity. The functional properties of maize and wheat flours were found to be improved when blended with chickpea. Chickpea flour and its blends with cereal flours were found to possess good functional score and suggested as favorable candidates for use in the preparation of viscous foods and bakery products. The data provide guidelines regarding the improvement in functional properties of economically favorable cereal flours.<strong></strong></p>

Textile fiber residues spun into small (2 to 5 mm), soft pellets (Flocagro®), through a patented process, were evaluated for horticultural use. Pellets alone and in mixtures with other substrates, were assessed using standard criteria including cation exchange capacity (CEC), aeration porosity, bulk density, and water-holding capacity. The physical and chemical properties of these textile pellets were acceptable as a horticultural growing medium when mixed with substrates such as peat; it was light-weight, had a high water-holding capacity, moderately high aeration porosity, neutral pH, low inherent fertility, low buffering capacity, and mixed easily with other substrates. The potential of Flocagro® in potting mixtures for radish and tomato seedlings and micropropagated potato plantlets was demonstrated.

A total of 37 new sugarcane clones were tested in four replicated yield trials in the coastal and inner plains of eastern Puerto Rico during the period 1973-77. Results obtained from plant cane and the following two ratoon crops were encouraging. It was found that three clones (PR 67-1070, PR 67-3129, and PR 67-245) are highly promising for the humid Humacao-Yabucoa area. PR 67-1070 appears to be the variety most adapted to well-drained soils with high permeability. PR 67-3129 and PR 67-245, on the contrary, seem better adapted to soils with high water-holding capacity and high fertility . Efforts were also made to determine the relative maturity-pattern for the three clones together with the existing commercial varieties in the area. Appropriate harvest schedules for these varieties are discussed.

Young barley leaf is consumed as a popular green-colored drink, which is named “Aojiru” in Japan. In the present study, we examined effects of young barley leaf powder (BL) on gastrointestinal transit time (GTT) and fecal moisture and weight in comparison with wheat bran (WB) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. In addition, an attempt was made to identify BL components responsible for these effects by using various fractions of BL. Additionally, we examined the water-holding capacity and setting volume of BLin vitro. We also examined the granular structures of BL with a scanning electron microscope. As a result, BL supplementation in the diet increased the fecal weight and shortened GTT. Our results demonstrate that the active component responsible for the effect on increasing the fecal volume in BL is the water-insoluble dietary fiber fraction and that this effect is thought to be caused by stimulation of the gut tract by the pH lowering. Furthermore, the high laxative action of BL was thought to be ascribable to the high water-holding capacity due to the complicated structures of BL.

`V-14 Glory' poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch) were grown in five root media using top watering with 20% leaching for 112 days. Root media with a high water-holding capacity required fewer irrigations and fertilizer applications than those with a lower water-holding capacity. However, similar amounts of water were applied and leached with both types of root media over the entire experiment. The reduction in the number of fertilizations was compensated for by an increase in the amount (volume) of fertilizer applied at any one irrigation. The greatest differences in root-media nutrient concentrations were found between the top 2.5 cm (top layer) and the remaining root medium within the same pot (root zone). After 58 days, when fertilization with water-soluble fertilizer (28.6N–0P–8.5K mol·m–3) was stopped, nutrient concentrations in the top layer were 3 to 6 times greater than those in the root zone for all five root media tested. For the final 42 days of the experiment after fertilization was stopped, nutrient concentrations in the root zone remained at acceptable levels in all root media. The nutrients contained in the top layer may have provided a source of nutrients for the root zone once fertilization was stopped.

Saba banana is one of the most favourite banana varieties in Malaysia. It also generates a concerning amount of waste as the only value part is the pulp. Banana peel has been proven to have a lot of nutritional content that should not be ignored and wasted. Conversion of banana peel to powder will convert it into a value-added product in the food industry. Preliminary study on the protein, moisture, crude fibre and fat was carried out for 2 different stages of maturity which are stage 2 (light green) and stage 5 (yellow with green tips). Both stages have almost similar proximate analysis values and hence stage 2 of banana was chosen for the next analysis, due to the high waste of banana peel in stage 2 in SME (Small Medium Enterprise) in the production of banana chips. This study characterized the banana peel powder for storage application at different sizes of particles which are 1-125 µm, 126-250 µm and >250 µm. As the particles of the banana peel powder increases, the flowability of the powder decreases. It was found that green banana peel (stage 2) at sample A (1-125 µm) has the highest true density, but sample C (>250 µm) has the highest bulk density. The pH mean value of the three sizes also ranges from 6.15 to 6.46. The powder’s pH (6.15-6.46) is in the standard wheat flour acidity range. Moreover, the study on the water holding capacity at different temperatures identifies that banana peel powder has a high water holding capacity ranging from 3.83 to 6.45 g water/g dry sample. In short, this study is a success in identifying the potential of banana peel powder in food products based on its characteristics.

The potency of common barb fish as fish protein hydrolyzate caused by its high protein content. Fish protein hydrolyzate is produced through the hydrolysis process by the calotropin enzyme and the papain enzyme. This study used common barb fish with one type of treatment, i.e. the difference combination of the calotropin (C) and papain (P) enzyme. Making fish protein hydrolyzate is used to determine the antioxidant activity of the common barb fish protein hydrolyzate. The observation parameters in this study were enzyme activity, antioxidant activity, degree of hydrolysis, molecular weight, amino acids, dissolved protein content, and water holding capacity. Samples with a ratio of 40C: 60P enzyme concentration are wader fish protein hydrolyzate with the proportion of 40% calotropin enzyme and 60% papain enzyme is the highest sample that has an antioxidant activity of 36.41%, reduced power value of 0.57, hydrolysis degree of 74.40% and total amino acids of 82.79%. Wader fish hydrolyzate in the 70C: 30P sample of 76.98% has a high water holding capacity because it can maintain the protein component in meat. Keywords: antioxidant, calotropin, common barb fish, fish protein hydrolyzate, papain
