Custards were prepared using five ingredients: milk powder, modified pearl millet starch, sugar, vanilla essence and water. The effect of adding hydroxypropylated starch (HPS), succinylated starch (SUS), oxidised starch (OXS) and acetylated starch (ACS) on cold storage stability, pasting, textural and sensory properties was studied and compared to custards containing native pearl millet starch (NS). Interestingly, all chemically modified starches reduced syneresis and no water weeping was observed in custard sample incorporating hydroxypropylated starch (HPC) even after 7days of cold storage. Viscoamylographic analysis revealed that custard containing succinylated starch (SUC) had the highest peak viscosity (108.8 BU), whereas HPC showed the least set back viscosity (19.0 BU). Sensory results suggested that assessors preferred HPC over other custards. Custards are preferred for their chewy semi-solid texture. Incorporation of hydroxypropylated starch (HPS) increased hardness, gumminess and chewiness which subsequently led to higher sensory scores during subjective analysis. Also, no retrogradation peak was observed for HPS and acetylated starch (ACS) when rescanned after 14 days. Thus, it could be concluded that HPS could be used in custards to confer low temperature stability by reducing syneresis.

Background: Incorporating organic manure improves soil properties and crop productivity. A long-term study started in October 1967 examined the effects of farmyard manure and nitrogen fertilization on the soil at key growth stages of pearl millet in a pearl millet-wheat cropping system over its 51st cycle.

Results: Applying 15 Mg of farmyard manure (FYM) per hectare in both growing seasons significantly boosted soil organic carbon (SOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and key nutrients compared to one-season application.

Vegetation ecological restoration technology is widely regarded as an environmentally sustainable and green technology for the remediation of mineral waste. The appropriate ratio of amendments can improve the substrate environment for plant growth and increase the efficiency of ecological restoration. Herbs and shrubs are preferred for vegetation restoration in abandoned mines because of their rapid establishment and easy management.
