PPH is a sporadic phosphorous deficiency metabolic disorder affecting adult buffaloes around the world both during advanced pregnancy and post partum period. Feeding of cruciferous plants, sugar cane tops, sugar beets exacerbate phosphorous deficiency either due to their low phosphorous content or an account of certain inhibitor factors that prevent proper absorption of dietary phosphorous. The serum phosphorous levels in affected buffaloes are as low as 0.9 mg/dl and usually half of the normal (5.0 mg/dl) values.

Pleurotus citrinopileatus, an excellently edible mushroom, was examined for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. The aqueous ethanolic extract of the mushroom was used for the study. The mushroom possessed profound antioxidant activity as evidenced from its ability to scavenge DPPH., ABTS.+, hydroxyl and nitric oxide radicals. The extract also reduced ferric ions into ferrous ions and prevented ROS induced lipid peroxidation to a significant level. Anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties of this mushroom was tested on Swiss albino mice model.

The present study was conducted with an objective to standardize the formulation and process protocol for the development of starch based biodegradable antimicrobial films for the extension of shelf-life of food and food products. The processing technology of starch edible films was optimized using response surface methodology with different levels of starch (4%, 5%, 6% w/v) incorporated with 0.3% level of Sodium alginate and 5% of glycerol at drying temperature 35⁰C. The starch level was standardized as 6% on the basis of biochemical characteristics viz.

Pictures are simple way of representing information. At the time of applying operations like segmentation, feature extraction, feature analysis image should be noise free. The purpose of image de-noising process is to eliminate the without affecting actual quality of image. Introduction of noise is due to disgraceful securing, transmission and gathering and capacity and recovery forms. As noise gets introduced in image, there is degradation in visual quality of image. There are many types of noises present into image such as Speckle noise, Additive noise.
