The drying rate of apple cubes was determined to utilize the shallow fluidized bed dryer. The drying process was performed at different drying temperatures and an air velocity of 3.1 m/s. The mass of apple cubes was measured every 5 minutes along with the wet and dry bulb temperatures and the dimension of apple cube sample. This procedure was continued until a steady state was reached. This study made available PDF
Mumbai is the financial capital of India and it attracts many migrants from various part of India because of its business opportunities. Extensive development has already taken place which contributed little availability of land recourses in the prime location of the city. Therefore, most of the builders are concentrating on vertical development rather than horizontal ones. This has lead to concept of high rise developments. PDF
The reduction of biodiversity during the preceding decennia, which has been observed in a large number of taxa, not only poses a threat to public health. The increased incidence of allergic diseases (at a global scale) following the mechanism of a skewed antigen exposure, although serious enough, is only part of the perceived impaired health. A reduction of biodiversity therefore has to be considered PDF

The effects of low-doses γ-irradiation (0.25, 0.75 and 1.25kGy) during cold storage at 4°C and relative humidity(RH) of 98% on discard%. Fresh weight loss, total phenols, total flavonoids, total antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid, chlorophyll content (Chl a, Chl b), carotenoids s, volatile oil % and its compositions of fresh mint (Mentha virids L inn) were studied.
