  Characterization of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) seed flour (BSF) and its functionality in ice creamThis study investigated the functional properties of BSF by determining the effect of concentration, pH and ionic strength on the solution and emulsifying properties of BSF solutions and oil-in-water emulsions. The particle size, rheological properties (apparent viscosity and viscoelasticity) and droplet charge were analyzed. The storage stability for a month with visual phase separation… Characterization of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) seed flour (BSF) and its functionality in ice creamThis study investigated the functional properties of BSF by determining the effect of concentration, pH and ionic strength on the solution and emulsifying properties of BSF solutions and oil-in-water emulsions. The particle size, rheological properties (apparent viscosity and viscoelasticity) and droplet charge were analyzed. The storage stability for a month with visual phase separation and thermostability studies both at lower pasteurization temperatures and retorting temperatures was monitored. Finally, application trials were done in ice cream at two different test concentrations. Show more Show less

  Research Thesis: Textural characteristics of fish scales and skin for the development of mechanical de-scalerThe structural features of fish scales were investigated in detail in two variants of marine fishes. The force required to pluck the scales from these fishes were identified. SEM analysis and FTIR spectra of the scales were done to identify the main components in the scales. This data helped in the development of mechanical de-scaler. This value addition step in the fish processing… Research Thesis: Textural characteristics of fish scales and skin for the development of mechanical de-scalerThe structural features of fish scales were investigated in detail in two variants of marine fishes. The force required to pluck the scales from these fishes were identified. SEM analysis and FTIR spectra of the scales were done to identify the main components in the scales. This data helped in the development of mechanical de-scaler. This value addition step in the fish processing industry would benefit several small-scale fish vendors. Show more Show less
