Abstract Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) is a famous fruit because of its high nutritional content. Although the product diversification of red dragon fruit is quite a lot, however, this product has limited information as a syrup product. The evaporation process for making syrup at the traditional level is usually carried out at high temperatures which results in the high destruction of nutritional content and reduces the quality of syrup. The study of the evaporation process at low temperature and low pressure using a double jacket vacuum evaporator for manufacturing red dragon fruit syrup was conducted in this research in order to improve product quality. The aims of this study are to evaluate the effect of temperature process and vacuum pressure on the quality of red dragon fruit (H.costaricensis) syrup using a double jacket vacuum evaporator and to know the optimum temperature process and vacuum pressure to producing red dragon fruit sirup with higher content of vitamin C. The double jacket evaporator operates at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure so that there were 9 treatment combinations. The result showed the temperature gave a highly significant effect, especially on vitamin C. It also gave on moisture content and reducing sugar. The temperature gave no significant effect on total sugar content. Whereas, the pressure gave a significant on moisture content, but not gave a significant on vitamin C, reducing sugar content and total sugar content. However, the best treatment for optimum vitamin C is 50 0C/-60 cmHg with 8.75 mg/100 ml.

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a root crop. It belongs to the umbelliferae family. Carrot contains the highest amount of carotene among all the fruits and vegetables which the body converts to vitamin-A. Carrot was dried in a solar drier and packed in polyethylene bags, heat sealed and kept in tin container at ambient temperature for 8 (eight) months. Moisture, reducing sugar, total sugar, starch, protein, fat, vitamin-C, ß-carotene content, energy value and reconstitution time of the product were analysed during its storage period at the interval of 2 months. The initial nutrient of fresh carrot and solar dried carrot for the above parameters were analysed. During the storage period protein, starch and total sugar content decreased slightly, vitamin-C decreased remarkably, â-carotene content decreased very slowly and moisture content increased gradually. Sensory properties such as appearance, colour, flavour, texture, taste and physical parameters such as over-all shrinkage ratio, drying ratio, rehydration ratio of the product were also assessed. By assessing all the parameters it is revealed that the product is acceptable for 6 (Six) months.

Sel-roti is a deep-fat fried, puffed, circular spongy doughnut like indigenous,non- alcoholic fermented cereal product of Nepal. A study was conducted to study the effect of batter ageing on physiochemical and microbial changes and its impact on sensory quality of Sel-roti.Ten samples of batters were aged for 9 h at 3 h interval at temperatures30°C, 40°C and 50°C.After ageing, acidity as lactic acid, reducing sugar and total sugar contents of the batter had increased significantly (P<0.05). The total sugar content of the batter started to decrease after 6 h of ageing. During the ageing period of 3 hour bulk density of products were decreased significantly (p<0.05) for all temperatures of ageing but after 3 hours of ageing it was increased slightly for 40°C. Fat uptake of sel-rotifound to decrease as ageing proceeds. Lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and mold co-existed in sel-rotibatter. LAB and yeast count at the end of 9 hour of aging was higher at 30°C than at 40°C. LAB and yeast count at 50°C was markedly decreased during 9 hour of ageing of batter. Mold count in the samples of batter during aging was decreased at all temperatures. Among study time and temperature of ageing quality of sel-roti prepared from batter aged at 30°C for 6 hour was found to be good in terms of sensory quality and cost effectiveness.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v8i0.11721 J.

High Sugar Content

Sweet sorghum can be utilized for bioethanol production because it has high sugar content (14-17%). We determined the most important nutritional values of 5 silo type sorghum lines in waxy and full maturation. The examined restorer lines were: RL 4, RL 9, RL 15, RL 18, K 1. The following nutritional parameters were examined: dry material content, refractometric total sugar content, reducing sugar content. In waxy maturation 73.85-87.37% of dry matter in stalk juice makes the total sugar. Dry  material content, total and reducing sugar content of stalkdecreases from waxy mature to full maturation.There are differences between lines in dry matter (SzD5%=0.76), total sugar (SzD5%=0.79), reducing sugar content (SzD5%=0.30). RL 4 performed a decrease in total sugar content from 10.07% to 10.02% during this period, reducing sugar also decreased from 4.01% to 2.47%. RL 9 performed a decrease in total sugar content from 11.76% to 11.08% during this period. Reducing sugar also decreased from 3.17% to 2.01% in the waxymaturation. RL 15 showed a total sugar content decrease from 15.43 % to 15.36%. The reducing sugar also decreased from  3.23% to 1.71% in waxy maturation. In RL 18 total mean sugar content during waxy maturation was 13.78% which dropped to 13.26% approaching full maturation. Reducing sugar also decreased from 4.11% to 2.23% in waxy mature. K 1 performed a decrease in total sugar content from 9.35% to 6.15% during this period, while reducing sugar also decreased from 1.52% to 0.77%. These lines upcoming for experiments are perspectives since having excellent stalk juice nutritional parameters they are of great or very great height and their stalks are thick-very thick, stalk medullas are wet.

Hereford weaner cattle grazed improved pastures of Setaria sphacelata C.P.I. 28709 (Nandi Setaria) and Cbloris gayana C.P.I. 16144 (Samford Rhodes grass) at two beasts per acre for 98 days in winter 1962. Weight loss was similar for urea supplemented and control groups. Consumption of the urea-salt-molasses blocks (35 per cent urea) was significantly greater on the Rhodes grass than on the Setaria pastures (2.3 oz v. 2.0 oz per head per day). The higher intake was associated with the grass of lower nitrogen content. Animals grazing Rhodes grass lost a mean of 10 lb a head and those on Setaria a mean of 18 lb a head in liveweight over the trial period. The differences were not statistically significant. There was no interaction between grass species and supplementation. Pasture plucking to simulate selection by the animals indicated that a diet containing 1.0 per cent N or above was selected by the animals over most of the winter period. A marked improvement in the nitrogen and total sugar content of the diet occurred over the latter half of the trial but the animals continued to lose weight. The results are discussed in the light of other published results on the use of urea. It is suggested that on improved pastures where animals are able to select a diet containing 1 per cent N or above during the winter months there will be little response in animal performance to urea supplementation.

Near Infrared Spectra

Multivariate data treatments were applied to mid and near infrared spectra of glucose, fructose and sucrose solutions in order to specify near infrared frequencies that characterise each carbohydrate. As a first step, the mid and near infrared regions were separately studied by performing Principal Component Analyses. While glucose, fructose and sucrose could be clearly identified on the similarity maps derived from the mid infrared spectra, only the total sugar content of the solutions was observed when using the near infrared region. Characteristic wavelengths of the total sugar content were found at 2118, 2270 and 2324 nm. In a second step, the mid and near infrared regions were jointly studied by a Canonical Correlation Analysis. As the assignments of frequencies are generally well known in the mid infrared region, it should be useful to study the relationships between the two infrared regions. Thus, the canonical patterns obtained from the near infrared spectra revealed wavelengths that characterised each carbohydrate. The OH and CH combination bands were observed at: 2088 and 2332 nm for glucose, 2134 and 2252 nm for fructose, 2058 and 2278 nm for sucrose. Although a precise assignment of the near infrared bands to chemical groups within the molecules was not possible, the present work showed that near infrared spectra of carbohydrates presented specific features.
