With contributions from a broad range of leading researchers, this
book focuses on advances and innovations in rice aroma, flavor, and
fragrance research. Science and Technology of Aroma, Flavor, and
Fragrance in Rice is specially designed to present an abundance of
recent research, advances, and innovations in this growing field.
Aroma is one of the diagnostic aspects of rice quality that can
determine acceptance or rejection of rice before it is tested.
Aroma is also considered as an important property of rice that
indicates its preferable high quality and price in the market. An
assessment of known data reveals that more than 450 chemical
compounds have been documented in various aromatic and non-aromatic
rice cultivars. The primary goal of research is to identify the
compounds responsible for the characteristic rice aroma. Many
attempts have been made to search for the key compounds
contributing to rice aroma, but any single compound or group of
compounds could not reported that are fully responsible. There is
no single analytical technique that can be used for investigation
of volatile aroma compounds in rice samples although there are
currently many technologies available for the extraction of rice
volatile aroma compounds. These technologies have been modified
from time to time according to need, and many of them are helping
the emergence of a new form, particularly in the distillation,
extraction, and quantification concept. This new volume helps to
fill a void in the research by focusing solely on aroma, flavor,
and fragrance of rice, helping to meet an important need in rice
research and production. Key features of this volume: * provides an
overview of aromatic rice from different countries * looks at
traditional extraction methods for chemicals associated with rice
aroma, flavor, and fragrance * presents new and modern approaches
in extraction of rice aroma chemicals * explores genetic
engineering for fragrance in rice

The embryonic development of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
requires an orchestrated series of events tightly regulating the
patterning and regionalization of the neural tube, as well as the
proliferation and differentiation of distinct neuronal populations.
All these events are controlled by cascades of activation of
transcription factors that regulate the expression of specific
subsets of genes in restricted regions and neuronal populations of
the developing CNS. Among these transcription factors,
homeobox-containing proteins play a crucial role, and altered
expression of these factors can impact embryonic and adult CNS
functions. In particular, homeobox-containing genes have been
described to crucially regulate differentiation of dopaminergic and
serotonergic neurons during brain development. Classical
pharmacological studies clearly showed that both dopamine and
serotonin markedly regulate seizure susceptibility through specific
receptor pathways. Our recent studies, performed on classical and
conditional knockout mouse lines, demonstrate that altered
embryonic development of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons
results in altered seizure susceptibility in the adult life.
The present study relates to all the Scheduled Commercial Banks
operating in India using the post nationalization period time
series data from the year 1970-71 onwards.The results suggested
that in respect of agricultural and non-agricultural credit
Scheduled Commercial Banks have reverse trend with each
other.Further, the result indicates that inter-state disparities in
flow of bank credit to agriculture reduced in pre-liberalization
period and the disparities increased in post-liberalization
period.Correlation results showed that higher loan recovery
performance is associated with higher flow of credit per hectare
which support the hypothesis that poor loan recovery inhibits
credit widening and deepening.Commercial banks have been
experiencing high volume of non-performing assets (NPAs). The
policy suggested to give up the conventional security oriented
approach, dispense of routine procedure of obtaining third party
guarantee, introducing deposit schemes that suit the farmers.
Further, there is a dire need for raising investment credit along
with production credit such that term loan should be in the range
of two-third to three-fourth of the total agricultural lo
Gluten is a protein found in all forms of wheat, rye, oats, barley
and related grain hybrids. People with celiac disease when consume
gluten, the absorptive villi in the small intestine are damaged and
thus preventing the absorption of many important nutrients. The
long-term effect of untreated celiac disease can be life
threatening. Present investigation aims at development of cookies
from gluten free composite flour. The effect of broken rice flour
on cookies quality was studied. The compositional variations
resulted in the 13 minutes baking as optimum time in a condition of
170 1 degree centigrade as upper burner and 185 1 degree centigrade
as lower burner temperature. The textural and colour
characteristics of optimized cookies resulted in the sensory
acceptability as "extremely acceptable." The composite flour free
from gluten may give a viable alternative to introduce a variety in
cookies so as to increase the food choice range for the person
suffering from celiac disease.
