Item Histamine content in local consumers demanded fishes of Tuticorin.(2015-01) jeyasanta, K Immaculate; Aswathi, E M; Saritha, K; Patterson, JamilaHistamine is a biogenic amine, which is developed in protein rich food as a result of histidine decomposition and this decomposition is caused by growth of certain types of bacteria. The biogenic amine of histamine content is an essential quality parameter in sea food quality and strict upper limits on acceptable levels have been introduced in US and EU markets. The present work addressed histamine content of the local consumers demanded fishes from local fish market, street vendors and from the fish landing centers. The results showed higher histamine development was observed in sea foods from street vendors followed in the fishes in the local fish market. Slow histamine development observed in sea foods from the landing centers. The results revealed that, histamine development in sea foods depends upon the quality of the sea food and fishes exposed longer time to the environment is possible for the development of biogenic amines.Item A Probe into Shifts in Cropping Pattern in Telangana State, India: A Markov Chain Approach(Ms. M. B. Mondal, 2023-11) Saritha, K; Baba, MA; Devi, DAR; Babu, KM.Assessing variations in cropping patterns across various locations is crucial for a better understanding of the agricultural development plan. The goal of the current study was to look at Telangana state's changing cropping patterns. Data spanning the years 2000-01 to 2020-21 were gathered from the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Government of Telangana and they were then evaluated using the Markov chain method. The research's key findings showed that none of the crops in Telangana kept their acreage; instead, the area devoted to each crop changed continually during the course of the study, from one crop to another. The area under crops other than cereals, major oil seeds, pulses has more retention while it lost area to rice, cotton, black gram, chillies, cow gram, ground nut, jowar and mesta. This indicated that there was greater shift in cropping pattern in Telangana State. The selection of crops holds immense potential to elevate agriculture to the forefront of property growth, and it should be a focal point in research and extension programmes.
