The study was undertaken to assess the production and marketing system of different flower cultivated in Jashore district. Different flowers were cultivated and planted seed/seedling in different months, but their target was same as they sold it in a specific occasion. Gladiolus, rose, marigold, chrysanthemum, tuberose, gerbera, jasmine, gipsy etc. flowerwere cultivated commercially inJashore. Flower was used in different national, occasional and cultural day such as happy new year, valentines day, pohelafalgun, shaheed dibos, 17th march, independence day, pohelaboishakh, 15th August, victory day and many more. People buy flower for celebration of national day, marriage day, birth day and so on. Among the cultivated flower gladiolus, rose, tuberose, gerbera and marigold were 57%, 41%, 69%, 17% and 71% farmer respectively.Benefit cost ratio on the total cost basis was highest in gerbera cultivation (2.67) followed by tuberose (1.88), rose (1.81), gladiolus (1.78) and marigold (1.56) respectively. Farmer, farmer cum trader, paiker, arathdar cum paiker, retailer, consumer etc. were the main market actors of flower. Flower cultivation was profitable as its BCR was more than one. But some flower required huge amount of investment. People used flower as its esthetic value and share his feeling with others, so that the consumption of flower was increased day by day. Insect pest infestation was the main problem of flower. Transportation and storage were the main problem of flower marketing as it was perishable products. Training, supply of sapling, market linkage should by developed for proper cultivation, quick transportation, proper storage and other facilities to reduce spoilage and damage of flower.

Soy milk is an attractive alternative to cow's milk because of its high protein content, lower fat content and being free of cholesterol and lactose (milk sugar), which millions of lactose-intolerant people are incapable of digesting properly. Nowadays, plant-based food products are gaining more popularity due to several health benefits. Soybean saponins are phytosterols found in soybeans, leading to an increase in excretion and preventing absorption, resulting in body cholesterol depletion. This study aimed to develop pudding by incorporating soymilk and assed its quality. Soybean was soaked, blanched, ground, and filters to extract soy milk. The chemical composition of soymilk and cow milk was analyzed. Five formulae were developed for soy pudding using 0, 25, 50, 75,and 100% soymilk and named A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. Processed soy pudding was analyzed for nutritional, textural, and sensory quality. The moisture and protein content was higher in soymilk whereas ash, fat, and carbohydrate content were higher in cow milk. Pudding containing soy milk had a higher amount of protein than the control samples. The level of protein content for soy pudding was E>D>C>B>A. Sample A showed the lowest hardness compared with the others. Calcium, phosphorous, sodium, and zinc content decreased (p<0.05) with the addition of soy milk. However, the opposite scenario was observed for iron, magnesium, and potassium. Moreover, soymilk fortification decreased L*-value of soy pudding and lessened viscosity relative to the control. Sensory analysis suggested that sample C (50% soymilk and 50% cow milk) and sample B (25% soymilk and 75% cow milk) were equally acceptable to consumers. So, it can be said that soymilk could be used for processing pudding at 25 and 50% levels.

Accurate and specific methods for sex determination in farm animals play a vital role in animal resources. Therefore, this study was conducted to differentiate between males and females for unknown sheep samples collected from slaughters based on the amelogenin (AMELX/ AMELY) gene by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. A total of 200 blood samples of Awassi sheep, collected from slaughterhouses, with an average age ranging between 3-6 years. Blood samples from the sheep were used to isolate the DNA. Specific PCR primers were used to amplify one fragment (262 bp) from the X- chromosome in ewes, and two fragments (262 and 202 bp) from the X and Y- chromosome in rams, respectively. The specificity of the primers was evaluated by using amelogenin amplicons for samples of known sex. The results revealed a single band for ewes (262 bp) and two bands for the rams (202 and 262 bp) after electrophoresis. In conclusion, this assay is proved to be a precise, inexpensive, and favorable method in sex determination, especially when unknown samples are collected from the slaughterhouse, and the samples are mixed so that it is difficult for the researcher to determine the sex of the samples. This method can be employed in other vertebrates and sexing of offspring in animal breeding because the amelogenin gene is conserved among mammals.

This study assessed the food safety risks associated with bananas ripened by CaC2. For ripening, calcium carbide concentrations were used per kilogram bananas (1% and 2%of calcium carbide solution; 5 gm, and 10 gm of calcium carbide powder) and compared results of artificially ripened fruits with control samples. Heavy metals like arsenic, phosphorous and calcium content at market banana were found higher than other treated samples. Total sugar, reducing sugar, TSS, pH, titrable acidity, vitamin C, and carotenoid were lower at market sample than other samples. Moisture content increased while total sugar, reducing sugar, TSS, pH, titrable acidity, vitamin C and carotenoid decreased with increasing CaC2 concentration. Other than titrable acidity, pH, total sugar and TSS were negatively correlated with the heavy metals. Sensory properties decreased with increasing CaC2 concentration. In conclusion, the market sample contained more health risk compared to the calcium carbide ripened banana assessed in this study.

This study aimed to elucidate the formulation and quality evaluation of fruit leather prepared from Mango, Banana and Papaya, and analyzes shelf life of developed samples at different storage conditions. Three samples of fruit leather (F1=50% mango pulp+20% banana pulp+19% papaya pulp, F2= 70% mango pulp+10% banana pulp+9% papaya pulp, F3=60% mango pulp+15% banana pulp+14% papaya pulp) were developed. The analysis of different composition such as moisture, ash, TSS (Total soluble solids), total sugar, acidity, crude fiber and ascorbic acid of all fresh fruit pulps and developed fruit leathers were taken place. The moisture, ash, and total sugar content of fruit leathers were in the range of 10.99 to 11.69%, 1.13-1.36%, and 54.08-55.38%, respectively. The fiber content ranged from 1.13 to 1.5% and sample F2 contained the highest amount (1.50%). The vitamin C content was highest in F2 (17.49 mg/ 100 g), while F3 gave the lowest (7mg/100g). The acidity of F3 was highest (0.21%), followed by F2 (0.16%) and F1 (0.12%). The sensory properties like color, texture, flavor and overall acceptability of mixed fruit leather of sample F2 (mango 70%, banana 10%, papaya 9%) was more acceptable than sample F1 and F3 which indicates mango rich leathers were much better than Papaya and banana rich leathers. The mixed fruit leathers were packed in sealed low-density and high-density polyethylene, and stored both at room temperature (25±1°C) and refrigerated temperature (4±1°C). Products were acceptable up to 4 months of storage and remained better in high-density polyethylene at room temperature than other conditions.

The accentuated growth inside the use of Gynura procumbens go away as suitable for eating leave and herbal medicinal drug to deal with sicknesses makes its miles essential to evaluate facts available on its antibacterial, antifungal, phytochemical screening and antioxidant activities. G. procumbens leaves methanol and ethyl acetate crude extract was prepared via the cold extraction approach. The methanolic G. procumbens extract became used to phytochemical assessments for plant secondary metabolites; carbohydrates, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, steroids, proteins, acidic compounds and saponins using preferred processes techniques. Antibacterial activities of G. procumbens extracts was investigated by using agar well diffusion method and antifungal activities by using the disc-diffusion method. G. procumbens extracts antioxidant activity was assessed via DPPH assay to measure its free radical scavenging capability. Phytochemical screening revealed that presence of carbohydrate, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolic compounds and tannins but saponins, proteins, acidic compounds and steroids were not found. Antimicrobial investigation showed that only ethyl acetate extracts have the mild sensitivity to almost all the bacteria and fungi (except Escherichia coli), whereas methanol extracts did not demonstrate any antimicrobial property. The average zones of inhibition produced by ethyl acetate extracts were found to be 6-7 mm at a concentration of 400μg/disc. Antioxidant study showed that IC50 of ethyl acetate extract of G. procumbens leaves was 322.244 μg/ml whereas the IC50 of standard ascorbic acid was 41.683 μg/ml. From the present experiment it could be concluded that G. Procumbens is the source of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and it’s has also antimicrobial, antioxidant properties. These findings imply that G. Procumbens leaves extracts is a good medicinal supply or herbal properties that may have high therapeutic value.
