Aimed at issues associated with low capacity, more spraying time, fatigue of operator with use of knapsack sprayer, noise pollution of engine operated commercial existing sprayers and the depleting resources of fuel, a walking type battery operated boom sprayer cum weeder was developed. Similarly traditional weeding operation requires more labour a...

Post Harvest Management of Horticultural Crops" edited by Prof. Dr. Surajit Mitra. ISBN: 978-93-90611-11-9

Acoustical detection of insects feeding and crawling sounds was used to automatically monitor internal and external grain feeding bruchids in order to assess the growth and density of food legume bruchids (Callosobruchus chinensis and Callosobruchus maculatus) in bulk stored chickpea and green gram. Bruchids hidden inside the grain kernels were det...

Monitoring of stored food legumes is necessary for applying timely curative actions for insect control. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technique for the detection of insect infestation during the early stage of infestation. Among the various detection methods, adoption of asensor based automated system for real-time and non-destructive mon...

Insects are the major threat for causing the post-harvest losses in stored food grains. It causes the qualitative as well as quantitative losses in cereals, food legumes and oilseeds during the storage. To reduce the losses caused by insects, it is necessary to know the type of insects occurred in specific food grains. Damage caused by insect infes...

The machine vision is a rapid, economic, consistent and objective inspection technique, which has expanded into many diverse industries. Its speed and accuracy satisfy ever increasing production and quality requirements, hence aiding in the development of totally automated processes. Machine vision is an engineering technology that combines mechani...

Hyperspectral imaging or imaging spectroscopy is a novel technology for acquiring and analyzing an image of a real scene by computers and other devices in order to obtain quantitative information for quality evaluation and process control. With the continuous development in hardware and software for image processing and analysis, the application of...

Fruits and vegetables are the sources of micronutrients and essential to be in human diet. Waste of food always remained a matter of concern, as it requires resources and labor to produce. In addition, it has potential to feed big chunk of population as well. Existing technologies with skilled and supervised manpower have potential to reduce the su...

Insects cause a major loss in stored food grains. Besides, pestilential activities of insects in stored food grains affect the marketability as well as the nutritional values. Early detection and monitoring of insects in the stored food grains become necessary for applying corrective actions. Visual inspection, probe sampling, insect trap, Berlese...

Food safety is the assurance that food will not cause harm to the consumer when it is prepared and/or eaten according to its intended use. Standards are documents, rules, guidelines or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods. To minimise health and environmental risks by availing approved and recognised standards, t...

A study was carried out on mass transfer kinetics of aonla slices under the influence of osmo-convective dehydration. The aonla slices were osmotically dehydrated in three different sugar solution concentrations (50, 60 and 70°Brix), solution to fruit ratio (4, 5 and 6), process temperature (35, 50 and 65°C) for 60, 150 and 240 min of process time....

A study was conducted to find out the influence of operating parameters on process kinetics of aonla (Emblica officinalis) flakes (1.7×3.7 cm) during tray drying. The spherical shaped un-osmosed and pre-osmosed aonla fruit in sugar solution dried at 65, 70 and 75°C in a tray drier. A marked difference in the convective drying behavior of un-osmosed...
