The book entitled “Modern Vegetable Varieties and Production Technology” is compilation of almost all the varieties developed from various SAUs, research centres and private seed companies, their characteristic features and the production technology involved in raising the vegetable crops. The book also contains few introductory chapters regarding the different vegetables grown in India, their area and production, nutritional aspect of vegetables and research done in the field of vegetable till date. The book consist of three introductory chapters viz., (1) vegetable crops, (2) nutritional importance of vegetable and (3) vegetable research in India –a brief background the other part of the book consists of nine chapters viz., (1) solanaceous vegetables (2) okra, (3) cole crops (4) cucurbitaceous vegetables (5) peas and beans (6) bulb crops (7) root crops (8) leafy vegetables and (9) asparagus (10) Hi-Tech vegetable production technology. Each of these chapters includes the vegetable varieties and production technology of respective crops. This would be helpful to the teachers, scientists, students, extension workers and farmers of this country
The 2nd edition of the book is edited with new and recent advances in the world of horticulture. Updated information with reference to production technology, sustainable horticulture, crop husbandry, varieties and technologies developed from ICAR institutes and SAUs, biotechnological interventions like use of molecular markers, genetic engineering, use of nanotechnology, Horti-silvi-pastoral system, biodiversity, processing and post-harvest technology of horticulture produce, spices and medicinal and aromatic plants find place in the book. The book will certainly help fellow students, researchers and budding scientists to get newer information and excel in their competitive examinations with great success and flying colours.
Until recently fats and oils have been in surplus, and considered a relatively low value byproduct. Only recently have energy uses of fats and oils begun to be economically viable. Food value of fats and oils is still far above the energy value of fats and oils. Industrial and technical value of fats and oils is still above the energy value of fats and oils. Animal feeds value of fats and oils tends to remain below the energy value of fats and oils. With development of new technology oils and fats industry has undergone a number of changes and challenges that have prompted the development of new technologies, and processing techniques. Oils and fats constitute one of the major classes of food products. In fact oils and fats are almost omnipresent in food processing – whether naturally occurring in foods or added as ingredients for functional benefits and, despite the impression given by several sources to the contrary; they remain an essential part of the human diet. However, it is increasingly apparent that both the quantity and the quality of the fat consumed are vital to achieve a balanced diet. They are essential constituents of all forms of plant and animal life. Oils and fats occur naturally in many of our foods, such as dairy products, meats, poultry, and vegetable oil seeds. India is the biggest supplier of greater variety of vegetable oil and still the resources are abundant. The applications of oils are also seen in paints, varnishes and related products. Since the use of oils and fats in our daily life is very noticeable the market demands of these products are splendid. Special efforts has been made to include all the valuable information about the oils, fats and its derivatives which integrates all aspects of food oils and fats from chemistry to food processing to nutrition. The book includes sources, utilization and classification of oil and fats followed by the next chapter that contain details in physical properties of fat and fatty acids. Exquisite reactions of fat and fatty acids are also included in the later chapter. It also focuses majorly in fractionation of fat and fatty acids, solidification, homogenization and emulsification, extraction of fats and oils from the various sources, detail application in paints, varnishes, and related products is also included. It also provides accessible, concentrated information on the composition, properties, and uses of the oils derived as the major product followed by modifications of these oils that are commercially available by means of refining, bleaching and deodorization unit with detailed manufacturing process, flow diagram and other related information of important oils, fats and their derivatives. Special content on machinery equipment photographs along with supplier details has also been included. We hope that this book turns out to be considerate to all the entrepreneurs, technocrats, food technologists and others linked with this industry.
