Different amounts of ginger powder (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) were employed in the formulation. The evaluation included the determination of antioxidant activity, proximate composition, and sensory attributes through the use of hedonic testing. The bread with 7% ginger demonstrated the greatest degree of antioxidant activity (24.42±4.03). However, it was observed that the sensory quality of the bread was reduced, particularly when larger doses of ginger were used. The gingerbread containing 3% ginger exhibited notable sensory characteristics and had noteworthy antioxidant properties when compared to the control group. However, it is important to note that these differences were not found to be statistically significant (p>0.05) in the majority of sensory aspects. The gingerbread with a ginger concentration of 3% exhibited a higher protein content as a result of the use of soy flour. However, as the ginger concentration increased, the protein content decreased. Furthermore, the inclusion of ginger concentration resulted in a rise in moisture content, crude fiber, and ash content, with the exception of ash, crude fiber, and moisture content, which exhibited a decrease at the maximum level of ginger utilized.","PeriodicalId":472962,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science","volume":"389 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136257607","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}

Through primary data collected via personal interviews with selected farmers in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh, the study identifies key constraints affecting diversification efforts. These constraints include the absence of modern agricultural skills, limited access to financial services, and inadequate marketing facilities. The authors suggest that these factors play a pivotal role in hindering diversification. They propose that providing institutional support, such as facilitating access to formal financial sources and establishing farmer organizations, could be instrumental in promoting agricultural diversification. By addressing these constraints, the study indicates that diversification could be fostered, subsequently reducing risks to farmers' livelihoods.","PeriodicalId":472962,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135959538","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}

The agriculture industry in India is vital to the economy, as it employs and provides income for a substantial portion of the population. With the advent of digital technologies, agricultural product marketing and sales have undergone a swift transformation. Given the unique characteristics of the agriculture sector, such as the fragmented supply chain, lack of digital literacy among farmers, and limited internet penetration in rural areas, managing customer experience in digital marketing for agricultural products in India presents numerous challenges. Nonetheless, the opportunities for managing customer experience in digital marketing for agricultural products in India are vast, such as the expanding market potential for digital agriculture, the increasing adoption of smartphones and mobile internet, the emergence of e-commerce platforms and marketplaces, and so on. To surmount these obstacles and take advantage of these opportunities, best practices include developing user-friendly and accessible digital platforms, providing farmers with timely and relevant information and services, etc. The paper concludes with implications for future research and practice, concluding remarks and suggestions for managing the consumer experience in digital marketing for agricultural products in India.","PeriodicalId":472962,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136305550","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}

Results of physicochemical parameters of each sample, including moisture content (64.08~70.20%), protein content (0.139~0.607 g/100 g), elongation (13.78~37.49%), tension (18.33~38.67 g), chewiness (32.2~50.2 times), firmness (0.247~0.663 N), L*(from 87.013~92.290), a* (-2.820~-0.503), and b*(11.837~25.713) were calculated through factor analysis, where 4 main components were extracted with a cumulative contribution rate of 94.048%, reflecting comprehensive quality of the dried noodles. Quality scores Y of nine dried noodles obtained through a series of operations based on PCA were compared with those of sensory evaluations, which presented an appreciable consistent trend and to some extent reflects the reliability and effectiveness of the experiment. Cluster analysis divided nine brands of noodle into four categories, with similar quality within each category. This study shows that using general physicochemical parameters analysis and PCA to establish a quality evaluation model can effectively reflect the quality of dry noodles, and has certain application and reference value.","PeriodicalId":472962,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135650853","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}

This crop residue is burnt in the same field as a quick and easy method of removing it for the next crop, as the same fields are used for double cropping in a year. This practice damages micro-organisms present in the upper layers of the soil, including the soil's organic quality. The present investigation was conducted during January 2021 (rabi crop) and July 2021 (kharif crop) for the appraisal of the physicochemical parameters of soil samples collected from such agricultural fields of some selected villages in the Attabira block of Western Odisha that were irrigated by the Bargarh main canal, which flows from the Hirakud reservoir. The soil samples were analyzed by observing standard procedures, and the results revealed that the soil pH, electrical conductivity, and available potassium content increased due to crop residue burning. On the contrary, soil organic carbon content, available nitrogen, available phosphorous, and available sulphur were observed decreasing in the crop residue burnt fields. As crop residue burning helps in increasing the soil pH and EC levels, continuing this practice for a longer period may shoot up the soil pH and EC levels beyond the threshold levels, which may adversely affect the growth of the crop and the yield.","PeriodicalId":472962,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agriculture and Food Science","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135959321","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}
