ABSTRACT An Earth Air Heat Exchanger cum Evaporative Cool System (EAHE‐ECS) was developed and evaluated for short‐term mango storage. During storage, the ambient temperature ranged between 27°C and 44°C, while the EAHE‐ECS maintained a lower temperature of 22°C–23°C, indicating its effectiveness. Mangoes …

In developing nations, malnutrition is one of the main factors contributing to child mortality. To tackle this threat, the development of grain-based, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense extruded foods has been suggested. In this study, 16 experiments were generated using D-optimal mixture design and, …

Composite flour based noodles were developed by optimizing ingredients and processing conditions using Box-Behnken Design. For ingredients optimization, wheat flour (20–25%), refined wheat flour (Maida) (40–50%), defatted soy flour (10–18%) and vegetable powder (5–7%) were taken as independent variables. For process optimization, …
