The bioactive peptides could be used in prevention and management of T2D through functional foods or nutraceutical supplements. Further clinical trials are necessary to validate the findings of in vitro studies and to confirm the efficiency of these peptides for applications.

This review describes the basic principles and applications of electronic tongues (e-tongues) in the food industry.

Fermentation technology plays a very important role in the field of Biotechnology. Production of various enzymes, antibiotics, single cell proteins, various food products, etc is carried out in a vessel called as the bioreactor which is the seed of fermentation technology. The project includes study of Pectinase production using submerged fermentation and various parameters like different substrate, different strains and fermentation time to obtain the maximum yield of Pectinase. To achieve this various research is being conducted. Aspergillus Niger species was being used in this work for the production of Pectinase.

Secretory diarrhea is a historically known serious health implication around the world which primarily originates through pathogenic microorganisms rather than immunological or genetical disorders. This review highlights infective mechanisms of non-inflammatory secretory diarrhea causing pathogens, known therapeutics and their efficacy against them. These non-inflammatory diarrheal pathogens breach cell barriers, induce inflammation, disrupt fluid secretion across the epithelium by alteration in ion transport by faulting cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), calcium activated chloride channels and ion exchanger functions. Currently, a variety of prevention strategies have been used to treat these symptoms like use of antibacterial drugs, vaccines, fluid and nutritional therapy, probiotics and prebiotics as adjuncts. In progression of the need for a therapy having quick physiological effects, withdrawing the symptoms with a wide and safe therapeutic index, newer antisecretory agents like potent inhibitors, agonists and herbal remedies are some of the interventions which have come into light through greater understanding of the mechanisms and molecular targets involved in intestinal fluid secretion. Although these therapies have their own pros and cons inside the host, the quest for new antisecretory agents has been a successful elucidation to reduce burden of diarrheal disease.

Currently, much attention is being paid for improving the texture of food by screening the new exopolysaccharides (EPS) producing strains. The aim of the present work was to isolate EPS producing Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from raw milk and milk products samples. Total of thirty eight dahi, lassi and raw milk samples were collected from different villages and towns of Karnal and Delhi District. The samples were plated on milk agar and colonies showing ropy polysaccharides production were subjected to biochemical test. After molecular identification 2 were found as S. thermophilus, 2 were Lb. rhamnosus and 2 were confirmed as Lb. fermentum. Two S. thermophilus strains (PD7 and PD11) and Lb. fermentum strains (AL6 and AD3) showed better curdling pattern, acidity, exopolysaccharides production, and sensory properties. These cultures can be used for manufacture of indigenous fermented milk products.
