“…Compounds I and IV increased haemagglutination antibody titers and inhibited delayed type hypersensitivity response in rats. They increased the rate of carbon clearance from blood of mice, indicating increased phagocytosis (Gangwal et al, 2009). Similarly, water-soluble polysaccharides, isolated from hot aqueous extract of L. siceraria stems, are reported to have immunomodulatory action (Kaushik et al, 2008 …”

“…Lesions, as atherosclerosis plaques on walls of large and or medium-sized coronary arteries, reduce blood flow to the myocardium, creating a clinical problem known as coronary artery disease (Brown and Goldstein, 1990). The presence of sterol ester in L. siceraria fruit juice may reduce serum cholesterol levels and reduce morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease (Amundsen et al, 2002;Gangwal et al, 2009).…”

“…The pharmacological properties of L. siceraria have been evaluated for immunomodulatory (Gangwal et al, 2008(Gangwal et al, , 2009, antioxidant (Bor et al, 2006;Deshpande et al, 2007), antihyperlipidemic (Ghule et al, 2006b(Ghule et al, , 2009Mohale et al, 2008), anthelmintic (Elisha et al, 1987;Thube et al, 2009), antihepatotoxic (Shirwaikar and Sreenivasan, 1996), diuretic (Ghule et al, 2007), analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity (Ghule et al, 2006b). L. siceraria is reported to have anti-stress and adaptogenic activity due to alteration in plasma cortisol, glucose, triglyceride, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and cholesterol which may be due to inhibition or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (Lakshmi and Sudhakar, 2009).…”

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the drying behavior of bottle gourd slices using tray dryer. Study Design: The bottle gourd slices were dried in a tray dryer at 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 + 1°C. The moisture loss was determined by gravimetry. Readings were taken at 30 minutes till constant weight was observed. Place and Duration of Study: Experiments were done in Department of Food Science and Technology, MPKV Rahuri and completed within 12 months. Methodology: The drying curves were fitted into four different drying models (Henderson, Logarithm, Page and Modified Page) widely accepted for modeling of agricultural materials drying. The best model describing the drying process was selected based on the low RMSE, low χ2, and high R2. Results: The drying time at 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70ºC drying temperature were 630, 570, 450, 420 and 360 min respectively for bottle gourd slices. By comparing time required at 50ºC and 60ºC temperature and 60ºC and 70ºC there were 28.57% and 20.00% reduction in drying time respectively. At the beginning of a drying process, the moisture content of fresh bottle gourd was 92.09% (w.b.) which is reduced to 7.08% (wb). The drying rate decreased with increase in drying time. The drying rates were as high as 0.89 at 55ºC and as low as 0.1 at almost all the temperatures. The R2 values ranged from 0.788 to 0.954, the adjusted R2 values also ranged from from 0.777 to 0.951, χ2 values between 0.029 and 0.681, and RMSE values between 0.0533 and 0.3742. Conclusion: Henderson and Pabis model was found to be a better model for describing the drying characteristics of bottle gourd at all temperatures. The product quality was found well at all the temperature.
