Given a sizable proportion of bio-resource production in the North-east (NE) India and the need to enhance the shelf life of perishable horticultural regional produce, this work addresses the optimality of inexpensive oven and intermittent airflow assisted tray drying processes for Kolmou ( Forssk.), Pui (), Jatialao sak ( leaves), Kolphul ( Colla blossom), Kaskal ( green Komora () and Posola ( Colla pseudostem) vegetables of NE India. Characterization parameters for process parametric optimality include proximate analysis based evaluation of moisture content, yield, carbohydrate, crude protein, soluble protein, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, ash, crude fibre and fat content. For most vegetables, tray drying process performance is superior in terms of better moisture removal, higher yield and higher anti-oxidant activity. Among all considered samples, tray dried Kolmou possessed highest antioxidant activity. Vitamin C content was seen to be highest in tray dried Komora.

Curry leaf (Murraya koenigii L.) is valued for its characteristic flavor and is used in varied cuisines and formulations. In this work, the effect of three different drying techniques: tray drying (TD), conductive hydro drying (CHD), and freeze drying (FD), at varying temperatures (40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C) on the phytochemical and physical properties of curry leaf dried as leaf or as pulp was evaluated.

Drying of mushroom up to the optimal moisture content is an important preservation technique. This research contains data of the drying kinetics, moisture sorption isotherm, and evaluation of the important functional groups of fresh and dried oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) while drying in tray dryer using hot air-drying medium. Mushrooms contains macronutrients that used as supplementary foods and moisture that make it perishable with in short time.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of metal brackets bonded with indirect bonding, under different surface treatment protocols.
Material And Methods: 40 bovine teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10), according to the type of surface treatment: G1 = 70% alcohol, G2 = air/water spray, G3 = 100-µm aluminum oxide blasting, G4 = direct boning. After drying, the standard Edgewise central incisor brackets were bonded with light-cured resin.
