Development and characterisation of apple pomace and rice flour–based extrudates
By–product generated from apple juice industry (apple pomace) was dried, milled and used as nutritionally rich ingredient for the preparation of rice flour–based extrudates. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of extrusion conditions including moisture content (17–21%), screw speed (270–310 rpm), die temperature (110–130°C) and proportion of apple pomace in feed ...

Vermicomposting of organic wastes using Eisenia foetida (Savigny)
An experiment was carried out in vermibeds to evaluate the suitability of organic wastes for vermicomposting using Eisenia foetida. The results indicate that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were maximum in the vermicompost formed from treatment T12, followed by T3. Calcium and sulphur were observed maximum in T3. T9 registered maximum magnesium content, followed by T8. There was also a ...
