4.1.6. Different Forms of Chicory a) Hand Cut Chicory Roots: The farmer harvests the chicory roots and cuts it manually sun dries in the field for about 20-25 days. Hand Cut Chicory Roots are mostly preferred in domestic market. As these are manually cut, the size and shape of these roots are non-uniform. These are used in preparing roasted chicory powders and chicory granules. Packaging is done in Jute bags of 50 kg. Moisture: 14-16% Age of Product: < 1 Year Extractability: Min 70-74 % Taste: Bitter, characteristics of dried chicory Color: Pallid Yellow or Little Grey b) Hand Cut Chunks: These roots are manually cut, graded, & sorted in factory or then, farmers bring it to the processor for the process of roasting. The Roasted Chicory …show more content…
The dried chicory roots are roasted, grounded and then mixed with water. After allowing the mixture to stand for few hours, the insoluble part is separated using filtration and centrifugation. The liquid extract thus obtained is further refined to make it suitable as a food additive. Liquid chicory is packed in 290 litre barrels for easy transport. The liquid chicory extract contains 98% of insulin by weight. Some of the other applications of liquid chicory are due to its anti-inflammatory characteristics and ability to purify the human blood. Chicory liquid form is also used as mild sedative as well as alterative in the medical world. It can also be used in variety of medications like stomach cleaner and gallbladder tonic. Physical appearance: Dark brown to blackish liquid Taste: Typical chicory taste Total solids: minimum 69% pH: 4.0 to 4.5 Reducing sugar: Max. 30% h) Instant Chicory Powders: Instant Chicory powder is made by spray drying the liquid extracts.

The beet Lab experiment was tested to examine bio-membranes and the amount of betacyanin extracted from the beets. The betacyanin is a reddish color because it transmits wavelengths in red color and absorbs most other colors. The membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. The phospholipid bilayer forms a barrier that is impermeable to many substances like large hydrophilic molecules. The cells of beets are red and have large vacuoles that play a big role for the reddish pigment. This experiment aimed to answer the question, “How do cell membranes work?” The hypothesis we aim to test is: Cell membranes work as a fluid mosaic bilayer of phospholipids with many embedded proteins. We predicted that the 50% Acetone will break down the most betacyanin. Our hypothesis was proven wrong by our data collected. We could test our predictions by doing the experiment multiple times and compare the

The tobacco crop goes through a long and tedious process before it is ultimately ready to become a Cuban Cigar. The first step in the process is to prepare the beds for the tobacco seedlings. After the beds are made, the tobacco seeds are planted. The next step involves topping the plants and removing the suckers. This is done to increase the vitality of the plants. After about 2 ½ to 3 months, the plant reaches maturity and is then harvested. The tobacco crop is harvested leaf by leaf.

Potatoes are the fourth largest crop in the world behind rice, wheat, and corn, they comprise nearly three percent of all calories consumed by U.S. adults (National Potato Council 2012), and one third of them are used to produce just one product: frozen french fries. There are three sides to this staple food that now so pervades our fast food restaurants: the market, utilization, and regulation. First, the market.
Obtaining a secure supply of food is one of the most important parts of life. Acquiring food and its preparation is changing with the times, but the age-old art of preparing a healthy diet from natural ingredients is being put to use even today. After harvesting wild vegetables, those which are not eaten right away are dried and stored. It is important to provide an ample supply of food, because the summers are short and the winters are long in Hokkaido. The Ainu have made it a rule not to pick more than necessary, and of what was collected all o...
“Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky.” In “Snapping Beans,” by Lisa Parker, there are numerous symbols, but the most significant and sentimental one is the evening star. Lisa exploits the evening star to demonstrate how the same thing can still emerge worlds apart, yet at the same time tie people together.
The plants of the genus Brassica include species very important for research and agricultural purposes including vital vegetable and oilseed crops (Augustine 2013). Research for these plants typically aim to increase their nutritional value and develop traits such as herbicide tolerance, sterility, and disease and pest resistance (Gupta 2012). One plant that can be used for research is Brassica rapa, in the form of Wisconsin Fast Plants, which are a rapid cycling variety that can be used for genetics investigations (Kinds Plants 2014).
