During the flush season, jackfruit is inexpensive and readily available in large quantities.An infinite number of raw fruits are wasted each year, as the fruit is perishable and there are only few value addedproducts.Ice cream is one of the most popular dairy products that is enjoyed by people of all ages. The experiment was conducted at the Department of Community Science, College of Agriculture, Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikkara, Kerala in the year 2022.The organoleptic evaluation of the standardised ice creams was conducted in order to select the best treatment. The revealed that the selectedice cream had incorporation of 10 percent jackfruit pulp securing the highest mean score in terms of parameters like appearance (8.89), taste (8.82) and overall acceptability (8.81). These scores were significant when statistically evaluated using Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance. The selected ice cream was subjected to physico-chemical analysisusing standard procedures along with control. The jackfruit incorporated ice cream is a nutritious delicacy with novel taste.","PeriodicalId":220721,"journal":{"name":"THE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ANGRAU","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128598972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies showed that fibres from banana pseudostem possess beneficial qualities that can be used for textiles. They are to be treated to carry out the spinning process and woven into a fabric as they possess considerable stiffness. Banana-cotton mixture or blended fabric is most suitable because both are cellulose in nature, and blending can be done homogeneously. The biodegradability of banana fibres and its availability as an agro waste can be considered as a sustainable source for textiles. This study conducted in the year 2019 attempted to find out the feasibility of using banana fibre to produce yarn and then weave it into fabric in an ecofriendly process. The woven material was evaluated for its physical properties. This could further be used for different end uses, can be produced on a larger scale and provide scope for the development of rural employment.","PeriodicalId":220721,"journal":{"name":"THE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH ANGRAU","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122046628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blood samples were collected from jugular vein during morning hours before feeding. Hematological profile such as total red blood cells (RBC), haemoglobin (HB), total white blood cells (WBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) etc. were estimated with automatic blood analyser.

Aphid (Aphis craccivora) touched the peak in the first week of September with a mean population of 8.8 aphids top 2 cm shoot-1; whereas, leaf hopper(Empoasca kerri) attained the peak in the second week of September with a mean population of 10.6 three leaves-1 plant-1.

The magnitude of the energy-efficient solar device acceptability level by the households was calculated. The results revealed that respondents were open to use energy-efficient solar devices. However, devices were unable to be used as alternative sources because of limitations such as their high cost and households’ ignorance on the benefits that energy-efficient solar devices can offer. The study revealed that 45.3 percent of households agreed to use energy-efficient solar devices because they are environmentally safe, whereas, 31 percent of the households strongly agreed. The Households that agreed to utilize energy-efficient solar devices to lower their electricity bills were 49.8 percent and 34.8 percent strongly agreed for the same. Only 8.5 percent of households strongly agreed, while 40.5 percent strongly disagreed, that energy-efficient solar devices had extra benefits. Only 8.5 percent of the respondents strongly agreed that they use energy-efficient devices to get benefits from government subsidies, whereas, 32.3 percent strongly disagreed.
