Abstract
The main focus of this study was to develop and calibrate a computerized image analysis system in order to measure the color of banana (Musa Cavendish) under microwave treatment. Bananas were cut into 2 mm slice thickness and dried at two different microwave power level; 540 W and 180 W. An algorithmic was developed which converted RGB color value from a color image into CIE L*a*b* values very well (ErrorL* = 2.163%, Errora* = 4.458%, Errorb* = 5.224%). Once the calibration is completed, it was applied to measure the color change in the banana slice during drying. The value of L* decreased from 89.01 to 71.17 and from 82.60 to 72.53 for both microwave treated samples suggesting browning is taking place during the drying operation. The value of a* increased from - 0.80 to 11.50 and from - 3.90 to 5.18 for 540 and 180 W microwave treated banana slices respectively suggesting tendency of redness increased. The same type of increment was observed for b* value. It changed from 36.46 to 60.51 and 34.02 to 72.82 for 540 and 180 W microwave treated banana slices, respectively. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling was used for prediction of the developed CVS's values.

Abstract
Microwave drying works on the volumetric heating concept promoted by electromagnetic radiation at 0.915 or 2.450 GHz. In this study, banana (Musa Cavendish) was taken as the sample and treated under microwave drying. The effect of two process variables, namely slice thickness (2, 3.5, and 5 mm) and microwave power (180 W, 360 W, and 540 W), were studied on drying kinetics and color kinetics. It was observed that the inverse variation relationship exists between drying time and microwave power level while drying time and slice thickness exhibited a direct variation relationship. A Computer Vision System (CVS) was developed to measure the color values of banana in CIELab space using an algorithm written in MATLAB software. Once the color parameters were obtained, they were fitted in First and Zero-order kinetic models. Both models were found to describe the color values adequately. This study concludes that microwave drying is a promising dehydration technique for banana drying that reduces the significant time of drying. Application of CVS is an excellent approach to measure the surface color of banana.

Abstract
Canine parvoviral enteritis is a highly contagious viral illness caused by canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2) which affects puppies of mainly 6-20 weeks of age. Vaccination is pivotal in preventing and controlling CPV-2 infection. Determination of antibody status is a critical determinant for successful vaccination. The hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test is 'gold standard' test for quantification of antibodies specific to CPV-2, although the execution of this test is not feasible under field conditions. The present study was undertaken to develop a point of care testing to determine immune status prior to CPV-2 vaccination or to detect seroconversion in immunized dogs by latex agglutination test (LAT) using recombinant antigen. Truncated portion of VP2 protein (tVP2) of CPV-2 was selected on the basis of antigenic indices, overexpressed the recombinant protein in E. coli system and was subsequently used in development of LAT. A total of 59 serum samples obtained from vaccinated (n = 54) and healthy unvaccinated (n = 5) dogs were tested. The positivity was observed in 85% (46/54) of these dogs with varying agglutination pattern. The overall sensitivity and specificity of latex agglutination test in comparison to HI test was recorded as 90% and 88% respectively with an agreement value of 90% (CI = 95%).

Abstract
High value fruits namely, apple (cv. Royal Delicious), guava (cv. Baruipur) and litchi (cv. Shahi) harvested at their commercial maturity were considered for MA packaging to enhance storage life. Polymeric films namely LDPE, BOPP, PVC, PVDC of different thickness were used for MA packaging study and various film characteristics such as gas transmission rates, water vapour transmission rate, clarity, strength and durability were evaluated. Mathematical model was developed based on Arrhenius type equation to predict gas transmission rate (GTR) and the developed model was found to be very good fit with the mean relative deviation modulus value quite less than 10 %. The GTR of the films increased with the increase in storage temperature and the magnitude of the increase varied with the film type and thickness. Regression models have been suitably developed to predict the oxygen transmission rate and carbon dioxide transmission rate of selected polymeric films and combined film laminates as a function of temperatures. Since, none of the individual films could meet the gas transmission requirements of MAP for selected fruits, two different films were tailored to form laminates that sufficed the requirements for prolonged storage with maintaining original quality.

Abstract
MAP is a dynamic system where respiration of the packaged product and gas permeation through the packaging film takes place simultaneously. The desired level of O2 and CO2 in a package is achieved by matching film permeation rates for O2 and CO2 with respiration rate of the packaged product. A mathematical model for MAP of fresh fruits applying enzyme kinetics based respiration equation coupled with the Arrhenious type model was developed. The model was solved numerically using MATLAB programme. The model was used to determine the time to reach to the equilibrium concentration inside the MA package and the level of O2 and CO2 concentration at equilibrium state. The developed model for prediction of equilibrium O2 and CO2 concentration was validated using experimental data for MA packaging of apple, guava and litchi.

Abstract
Effects of varied dietary energy densities on immune response and performance of Muzzafarnagari lambs were ascertained in a 180-d study. Animals (n = 24), in three groups, were fed diets providing 100% (100E), 80% (80E) or 70% (70E) of their metabolizable energy requirement. Mean nutrient digestibilities varied significantly among treatments. Nitrogen intake was lower (p<0.01) in the 70E. Nitrogen retention, was reduced (p<0.001) in 80E and 70E vs 100E. The average daily gain (p<0.001) was 47.01±4.23, 13.54±1.72 and -16.67±8.24 g for 100E, 80E and 70E, respectively. Hemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, total and differential leukocyte counts were lower (p<0.001) for 80E and 70E than for 100E with a similar trend (p<0.05) for serum glucose and total protein. Serum cortisol was reduced (p<0.001) with decreased energy availability. Antibody titre to Brucella abortus S19 showed an initial reduction in 80E and 70E vs 100E. Delayed-type hypersensitivity response was lower (p<0.001) in 80E and 70E vs 100E, accompanying a lower (p<0.001) nitric oxide production by the peripheral lymphocytes. It is concluded that the reduced dietary energy density significantly affects the growth performance and immune response of lambs.

Abstract
Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a very widely used spice, known for its pungent constituent piperine. However, in addition to its culinary uses, pepper has important medicinal and preservative properties, and, more recently, piperine has been shown to have fundamental effects on p-glycoprotein and many enzyme systems, leading to biotransformative effects including chemoprevention, detoxification, and enhancement of the absorption and bioavailability of herbal and conventional drugs. Based on modern cell, animal, and human studies, piperine has been found to have immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-asthmatic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, and anti-amoebic properties. In this review, the chemical constituents, biological activities, effects of processing, and future potential of black pepper and piperine have been discussed thoroughly.

Abstract
Toxocara canis is one of the most common helminth worm of dogs which continues to stimulate both public health concern alongside the higher scientific interest. It may cause visceral and ocular damage in humans especially in children. The identification of specific antigens of T. canis is important so as to develop better diagnostic techniques. Excretory-secretory (ES) antigens were prepared by culturing the adult T. canis worms in RPMI 1640 medium without serum supplementation followed by ammonium sulphate precipitation. These antigens were separated using sodium dodecyl sulphate-electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Recovered proteins ranged from 30 to 384 kDa. The specific reactivity of the T. canis excretory-secretory (TC-ES) proteins was checked by western blotting. The immuno-reactivity of the naturally infected dog sera with the TC-ES antigens showed five bands at 43, 57,105, 139 and 175 kDa. The immuno-reactivity of the hyper immune serum raised in rabbits against TC-ES antigens was observed with ten polypeptides of 21, 25, 30, 37, 45, 50, 57, 69, 77 and 105 kDa. Common antigens band were observed at 57 and 105 KDa. These antigens merit further evaluation as candidate for use in diagnosis of toxocariasis in humans and adult dogs.

Abstract
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a dynamic system during which respiration and permeation occur simultaneously. Hence factors affecting both respiration and permeation were considered for designing a package. In the design of MA packages for guava (cv. Baruipur) a total of 13 variables were considered. The independent variables includes: weight of fruits, surface area of packaging film, free volume of the package, thickness of the film and permeabilities of film to O2 and CO2 gas. The fixed variables considered were: the surrounding gas composition and temperature, the respiration rates for O2 consumption and CO2 evolution, and the equilibrium gas compositions to be attained in the package so that the fruit's shelf-life is extended. Two types of MA packages, having package size of 19 cm × 19 cm for a fill weight of 1,000 ± 100 g were developed. Packages were designed to accommodate a fill weight range of 0.90-1.10 kg. Various package parameters were optimized to facilitate establishment of dynamic equilibrium at target levels of O2 and CO2 concentration in the package. The storage study of MA packages was performed at 10, 15, 20 and 25 °C temperatures. The performance of film packages was evaluated for their ability to establish equilibrium at target levels and to extend the shelf life of the packaged fruit. The MA packaging system increased the shelf life of guava by 128-200 % compared to the unpacked fruits at various storage temperatures with a quality comparable with the freshly harvested commodity.

Abstract
An indirect Sandwich ELISA to measure growth hormone level in serum and milk of buffaloes was developed. The assay was based on purified anti rbST IgG raised in rabbits and chicken and rabbit anti chicken IgG horseradish peroxidase. The assay was validated in terms of sensitivity, specificity, precision and recovery. Parallelism was demonstrated between the standard curve and serially diluted serum, milk and pituitary derived growth hormone. Sensitivity of the assay was 0.1 ng/ml. Recovery of exogenous bovine somatotropin from serum and milk ranged from 90 to 102% and 96 to 108% respectively. The intra and inter assay variations to measure growth hormone in serum and milk were 3.36 to 8.81% and 6.01 to 12.31% respectively. Statistical analysis for parallelism and cross-reactivity of rbST with serum of other species confirmed the reproducibility of the assay.

Abstract
Sixteen clinically healthy New Zealand white rabbits of either sex were divided into 2 equal groups (I and II) of 8 animals each. Under thiopental sodium (2.5%) anaesthesia a 2 x 3 cm full-thickness abdominal wall defect in the mid-ventral abdominal wall was created and repaired with an acellular dermal graft (ADG) in all the animals of group I (test group). In animals of group II (control group) a full-thickness linear midline abdominal muscular wall incision was made and repaired with a continuous suture pattern using 2-0 nylon.

Abstract
Reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI) are the principal effector molecules of activated monocyte/macrophage populations, responsible for killing and inhibiting the growth of virulent mycobacteria. In vitro nitrite production by blood monocytes of cattle inoculated with live Mycobacterium bovis AN5 was assessed from 0 day through 45 weeks post inoculation (PI). High in vitro nitrite production was observed at the 8th and 12th weeks PI in sensitized cattle but reactivity had fallen by the 20th week PI. To assess the in vitro nitrite producing ability of monocytes induced by individual polypeptides within culture filtrate antigens (CFA) of M. bovis AN5, cellular blotting was performed using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at the 12th week PI. It was observed that polypeptides of MW 70, 65, 60, 25, 24 and 22 kDa of CFA induced high nitrite production by blood monocytes while many polypeptides had little or no effect.

Abstract
The cellular immune responses of chickens inoculated with the vaccine strain S-1133 and/or a field isolate VA-1 of avian reovirus (ARV) were studied. Both strains of virus caused inhibition of the phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphoproliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and splenic mononuclear cells (SMC) during the initial stage from day 4 up to day 10 post-inoculation (PI), with a later return to the normal value. The inhibition in the PHA-induced lymphoproliferation of SMC could be partially overcome by depletion of adherent cells. The supernatant of the PHA-stimulated SMC culture was also checked in vitro for the presence of suppressive factor(s) produced in response to ARV infection. The culture supernatant from chickens at day 5 PI caused significant inhibition of the PHA-induced lymphoproliferation of control birds, suggesting the presence of suppressive factor(s). ARV infection also significantly inhibited IL-2 production on day 5. There was a significant increase in nitric oxide production by the splenic mononuclear cells of chickens inoculated with either strain of ARV.

Abstract
The effect of exogenous administration of glutamic acid (GL), aspartic acid (A) and glycine (G) on individual amino acids in the free amino acid pool was studied in skeletal muscles of 60- to 70-day-old normal (N) and dystrophic (D) mice. Both N and D mice received either 0.25 ml of saline (S) or 250 mg/kg weight of GL, A or G in 0.25 ml S subcutaneously for 13 days. GL, A, G or S did not cause any significant changes in the body and skeletal muscle weights of either group. Most of the individual amino acids were increased in skeletal muscles of GL-treated mice and were decreased in A- or G-treated animals compared to S administration in the N group. The picture was more dramatic in the D group: GL-induced amino acid elevations were more pronounced than the values of N- or S-treated D controls. A and G elicited amino acid increases in D mice compared to their S-treated counterparts. Most of the individual amino acids in skeletal of the D group were decreased relative to N mice after S, GL or A administration. This was evident when the D/N ratio was calculated for S, GL and A. The situation was very different after G administration since of the individual amino acids were augmented in the skeletal muscle of D mice compared to N animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
