“…10 Moreover, jaggery has been shown to possess various medicinal properties that include antioxidant, anti-oxygenic, and anti-carcinogenic. 10,19,20 Prices range from approximately $0.25 to $1.00 per kilogram for semolina and $1.00 to $3.00 per kilogram of jaggery, thereby making them an cost-effective choice. Besides, quick and hassle free preparation of semolina-jaggery (SJ) diet might prompt students and novice fly-handlers, along with professional investigators, to use the SJ diet with ease.…”

Drosophila melanogaster is an ideal model organism for developmental studies. This study tests the potential of semolina-jaggery (SJ) diet as a new formulation for bulk rearing of flies. Semolina and jaggery are organic products obtained from wheat endosperm and cane sugar, respectively. Semolina is a rich source of carbohydrates and protein. Jaggery has a high content of dietary sugars. Moreover, preparation of semolina jaggery diet is cost-effective and easy. Thus, the current study aimed to compare survival and developmental parameters of flies fed the SJ diet to flies fed the standard cornmeal-sugar-yeast (CSY) diet. SJ diet enhanced survival of flies without affecting fecundity; male flies showed increased resistance to starvation. A higher number of flies emerged at F 2 and F 3 generation when fed the SJ diet than when fed the control CSY diet. SJ diet did not increase fly body weight and lipid percentage. Therefore, SJ diet can be used for bulk rearing of healthy flies at par with the standard cornmeal-sugar-yeast diet.

“…It has been shown that panela has medicinal properties, for example, preventing lung lesions induced by smoke, due to its antitoxigenic and anticarcinogenic properties (SAHU; PAUL, 1998;SAXENA, 1994) and to the reduction of the clastogenic effect caused by arsenic (SINGH et al, 2008;HAIDER et al, 2007;SAHU, 2006). In addition, it has a potential antioxidant activity owing to the presence of polyphenolic compounds in cane juice (HARISH et al, 2009;PAYET;CHEONG;SMADJA, 2006).…”

"Panela" is a natural sweetener obtained by concentrating sugar cane juice and handmade in small factories. In the study carried out, the physical and chemical properties of two commercial brands of artisanal granulated panelas and of one made on an experimental level were determined. Three lots of each sample were analyzed. The parameters measured were moisture, a w, protein, ash, minerals, reducing sugars, sucrose, pH, color (L, a and b), insoluble solids (IS), transmittance a 720 nm and filterability. In addition, a qualitative test to detect sulphur dioxide was performed. The parameters with higher variability were moisture (1.66-4.36 g.100 g-1), a w (0.51-0.69), reducing sugars (4.58-11.48 g.100 g-1), pH (5.58-6.90), and color. Potassium was the most abundant mineral (229.52-1027.18 mg.100 g-1). An inverse relationship between IS and transmittance at 720 nm (R² = 0.96) and a direct relationship between IS and ash (R² = 0.94) were found. The sulphur dioxide test was negative for all the samples.

“…It is consumed directly or used for preparation of sweet confectionery items and ayurvedic/traditional medicines (Pattnayak and Misra, 2004), and it may have a role to reduce the chance of lung cancer (Sahu and Paul, 1998). Jaggery is prepared traditionally by concentrating sugarcane juice (Saccharum officinarum) in open atmosphere boiling.…”

“…Singh (1992) and Sweat (1974) have reviewed thermo-physical properties of different vegetables, fruits and its juices. Several workers (Constenla et al, 1989;Telis-Romero et al, 1998;Patricia et al, 2005;Zuritz et al, 2005;Shamsudin et al, 2005) have reported mathematical models correlating thermo-physical properties of fruit juices, soluble solids content and temperature. According to Telis-Romero et al (1998), in Brazilian orange juice, total soluble solids exhibited a significant role on its density, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat compared to temperature when concentration and temperature were varied.…”
