Adsorption modelling and fixed-bed column study on milk processing industry wastewater treatment using chitosan zinc-oxide nano-adsorbent-coated sand filter bed.

This study aims to develop a chitosan-zinc oxide nano-adsorbent-coated sand (CZOCS) filter bed for getting rid of milk processing industry wastewater (MPIW) in a safe way. Chitosan zinc oxide nano-adsorbent (CZnO) of 88.35 ± 2.

Adsorptive removal of organic pollutants from milk-processing industry effluents through chitosan-titanium dioxide nanoadsorbent-coated sand.

Milk-processing industry effluent (MPIE) poses severe problems for aquatic and environmental systems, especially in the South Asian region. Therefore, its treatment is of great interest. This study deals with the investigation of chitosan titanium dioxide nanoadsorbent (CTiO) coated onto sand particles via calcination that are used to remove the emerging pollutants.

Development of rice analogues fortified with iron, folic acid and Vitamin A.

Fortified rice analogues were developed utilising the broken-rice fortified with selected micronutrients like iron, folic acid and Vitamin A. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of fortifying rice analogues with micronutrients and retention after extrusion and cooking. Cold extruder operated at 55 rpm screw speed and 1.

Development of rice analogues using by-products of rice and dhal mills.

Development process of rice analogues by utilising the broken rice (BRF) and broken pigeonpea dhal (BPDF) flours together with water and sodium alginate as binding agent through extrusion was carried out. Two variable viz, BPDF (20, 30 and 40%) and moisture content (25, 30 and 35%) were controlled in the study to produce rice analogue resembling the raw rice. The optimum combination of flour mixture established for 30% BPDF and 30% water content with highest desirability of 0.

Influence of processing conditions on quality of Indian small grey donkey milk powder by spray drying.

The study was carried out to know the quality of small grey donkey milk powder by spray dryer. Donkey milk powder moisture, fat, protein, carbohydrate and ash were 4.12 (d.

Comparison of chitosan based nano-adsorbents for dairy industry wastewater treatment through response surface methodology and artificial neural network models.

The present investigation was focused to compare chitosan based nano-adsorbents (CZnO and CTiO) for efficient treatment of dairy industry wastewater using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. The nano-adsorbents were synthesized using chemical precipitation method and characterized by using scanning electron microscope with elemental detection sensor (SEM-EDS) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Maximum %R (96.

Physico-chemical composition, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acid profile and sensory evaluation of donkey milk from Indian small grey breed.

Composition, nutritional value and sensory characteristics of donkey milk of Indian small grey breed was analysed using AOAC and other standard methods. Fresh donkey milk had 90.63% (w.

Studies on dhal recovery from pre-treated pigeon pea ( Cajanus cajan L .) cultivars.

Dhal recovery from three popular varieties of North Karnataka was studied using CFTRI mini dhal mill with five different treatments at three different levels. It was observed that Gulyal variety treated with mustard oil recorded maximum hulling efficiency (79.4%) and finished product (68.
