“…Carbohydrates compete with protein synthesis for photosynthates, the products of photosynthesis. Higher levels of nitrogen lead to a higher protein-carbohydrate ratio and, therefore a decline in carbohydrate content especially the reducing sugars (Salunke and Desai 1998). The reducing sugar content found in pineapple fruits in both the farming systems in the present investigation are in concurrence with the findings of Dhar et al (2008).…”

Nutritional attributes, bioactive components and sensory qualities of pineapple (kew variety) grown under fertilizer based and traditional (organic by default) farming system were determined and compared in this study. The results revealed that organically grown (without adding any chemical inputs as per traditional practices) pineapple had significantly higher bioactive components (vitamin c and total soluble phenolics ranging from 23.19 % to 24.04 % and 28.69 mg/100g FW to 29.54 mg/100g fresh weight (FW) respectively for organically grown fruits and 19.84% to 20.01% and 21.32 mg/100g FW to 21.93 mg/100g FW respectively in conventionally grown in fruits). The study also reports that the organically grown pineapples had significantly higher overall acceptability (4.5 and 4.3 in 2013 and 2014 respectively) and popularity (4.26 and 4.32 in 2013 and 2014 respectively) as compared to the pineapples grown under conventional farming system using fertilizers (2.8 overall acceptability in 2013 and 2014; 2.96 and 2.86 popularity in 2013 and 2014 respectively).

Cassava ((Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaf stalk is a renewable raw material and it is a major industrial crop in Tamilnadu rich in antioxidant compounds. To utilize this source, an environmentally sustainable procedure has been developed for the extraction of anthocyanin and to analyze its antioxidant properties. So, the present research was focused on cassava for total phenol contents, flavanoids, anthocyanins and it's antioxidant activities were studied using leaf stalks. Three difficult solvents were tried to extract total phenol and anthocyanin from cassava leaf stalks. In the case of total phenol content acetone extract found to have maximum phenol content followed with acidified methanol and methanol. In the case of anthocyanin content, acidified methanol extract gave maximum yield followed with methanol and acetone extracts. The presence of phenolic compound and anthocyanin determine the free radical scavenging activity in cassava leaf stalk extract. The cassava leaf stalks, which was found to be a waste material after harvesting the tubers can be used as a valuable source for anthocyanin extraction, which will applicable in clinical and food industry.
