Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in the female genital tract and poses serious health hazards. The gene P53 safeguards cell integrity however; a mutation in this gene increases the lifeline of the cells which are programmed for cell death. This particular gene participates in many human cancers including endometrial, ovarian and tubal carcinomas. In this study we screened exon 5 of p53 gene to find out whether this exon is a hotspot for mutations or not. We evaluated (n=45) samples of endometrial carcinoma and (n=45) controls from a local population. However, we were unable to find any nucleotide alteration in exon 5. It appears, therefore, exon 5 of p53 is not a hot spot for mutation in local population based on recent our findings.

Matri (Lathyrus sativus) is a low cost and indigenous leguminous crop. we use matri protein isolate as protein source. Physico-chemical, sensory characteristics of infant formula were determined. The product was packed in polyethylene bags and stored at room temperature for a period of 90 days and analysis of the product were done at every 30 days interval. Statistical analysis revealed a non-significant effect of treatments and storage on moisture of infant formula. Statistical analysis revealed that storage had significant effect on the pH and acidity of infant formula, whereas treatment and their interaction effect were found to be significant. All the four treatments showed a significant difference for the pH values of infant for formula. Acidity of infant formula is 1.1 % at the start of the study which significantly up to 1.6 at 90 days of storage period. Statistical analysis revealed that the treatments had a non-significant effect on Protein, Fat, total sugars content and ash of infant formula. On the other hand, storage as well as the interaction between treatments and storage showed a non-significant effect on the all parameters content of infant formula.

This Work presents latest information about new techniques of food preservation and their effects on food safety. Furthermore, the book deals with commonly occurring food spoilage micro-organisms such as salmonella Spp. This work have evaluated the effects of gamma radiation on pathogenic microbes of food specifically chicken meat. The book will benefits students and other stakeholders concern with food safety.

International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) data bank (2003) mentioned the excessive use of chemical fertilizer, being 31.9 million tons of chemical fertilizer used in 1961 and 147 million tons in 2003 across the world. A very drastic effect of chemical fertilizers on soil include leaching out, water pollution, soil pollution, destruction of useful micro-organisms, insects and making crops more susceptible to diseases attack. Recent researches are focusing on alternative fertilizer aiming at protecting agriculture system and safe crop production.
