The manuscript investigates the effect of mechanical activation by the wavedisintegration
method on the pre-biotic properties of the dietary supplement
composition of wheat germ (Vitazar dietary supplement), arabinogalactan of
Dahurian larch (Flarabin dietary supplement), and selenium xanthan (Seleksen
dietary supplement). The authors revealed the changes in the phase state of the
crystal lattices of the nanopowders of the studied biological objects. The manuscript
determines the parameters of the accumulation of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria
biomass during the fermentation of substrates containing milk, and the composition of
dietary supplements in the concentration range of 1-5%. The manuscript shows the
possibility of reducing the accumulation time of active cells to concentrations of not
less than 109 CFU/g of lactobacilli L. Сasei subsp. Rhamnosus, as well as consortia
consisting of lactobacilli: L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. fermentum, of
bifidobacteria: Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium
adolescentis; of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria: L. Сasei subsp. Rhamnosus, L.
acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. fermentum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium
longum, Bifidobacterium adolescentis L. The manuscript studies the process of
biomass accumulation of probiotic microflora and its metabolites (lactic acid) on
substrates containing the composition of dietary supplements in mechanically
activated form. The authors established that being a source of dietary fibers, polyand
oligosaccharides, vitamins, mineral substances, antioxidants, the composition
under study can support the active development of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria,
forming a favorable environment for them. The authors recorded accumulation of
microflora metabolites by an increase in the titration rate, as well as by a change in
CFU in 1 g of the fermented substrate. In the study of the fermentation process'
kinetics, the main stages of the fermentation process were identified, the lag-phase
time was reduced to 1-1.2 hours, activation of the exponential phase of the process,
and a rather long period of growth retardation and a stable state of the biosystem
with preservation of probiotic microorganism concentration not less than 109 CFU/g.

In nature, the destruction of plant wastes takes place by not a single microorganism, butby complex of microorganisms which belong to different species and genera with complex of enzymes. Using of highly active monocultures to createfungal association which produce multifunctional enzymeswith desired properties is a promising approach to create relevant and effective crop production microorganisms with beneficial properties. Among15 industrial micro my cetes the most active association was from Aspergillusniger 355 and Aspergillusawamori 1-8 which had highmacerase and cellulase enzymes activity.
Scope of Industrial Microbiology and BiotechnologyDr. Pavan Kundur
Industrial microbiology defined as the study of the large-scale and profit motivated production of microorganisms or their products for direct use, or as inputs in the manufacture of other goods.
The chemical compounds produced by plants are collectively referred to as phytochemicals. Biotechnologists have special interest in plant tissue culture for the large scale production of commercially important compounds. These include pharmaceuticals, flavours, fragrances, cosmetics, food additives, feed stocks and antimicrobials.
Most of these products are secondary metabolites— chemical compounds that do not participate in metabolism of plants. Thus, secondary metabolites are not directly needed by plants as they do not perform any physiological function (as is the case with primary metabolites such as amino acids, nucleic acids etc.). Although the native plants are capable of producing the secondary metabolites of commercial interest, tissue culture systems are preferred.
Plant biotechnology also known as green biotechnology is the use of biotechnology in plant or crop production. There are several techniques used such as ell culturing. Organ culture, explant culture, cell suspension culture are some culture types. This is a very useful technology in which have several applications like synthetic seed production, somaclonal variation, cybridization, hybridization.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) facilitate the plant growth and enhance their
induced systemic resistance (ISR) against a variety of environmental stresses. In this study,
we carried out integrative analyses on the proteome, transcriptome, and metabolome to investigate
Arabidopsis root and shoot responses to the well-known PGPR strain Paenibacillus
polymyxa (P. polymyxa) E681. Shoot fresh and root dry weights were increased, whereas root
length was decreased by treatment with P. polymyxa E681. 2DE approach in conjunction
with MALDI-TOF/TOF analysis revealed a total of 41 (17 spots in root, 24 spots in shoot)
that were differentially expressed in response to P. polymyxa E681. Biological process- and
molecular function-based bioinformatics analysis resulted in their classification into seven different
protein groups. Of these, 36 proteins including amino acid metabolism, antioxidant,
defense and stress response, photosynthesis, and plant hormone-related proteins were upregulated,
whereas five proteins including three carbohydrate metabolism- and one amino
acid metabolism-related, and one unknown protein were down-regulated, respectively. A good
correlation was observed between protein and transcript abundances for the 12 differentially
expressed proteins during interactions as determined by qPCR analysis. Metabolite analysis
using LC-MS/MS revealed highly increased levels of tryptophan, indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN),
indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), and camalexin in the treated plants. Arabidopsis plant inoculated
P. polymyxa E681 also showed resistance to Botrytis cinerea infection. Taken together these
results suggest that P. polymyxa E681 may promote plant growth by induced metabolism and
activation of defense-related proteins against fungal pathogen.
Antioxidant activity, photosynthetic rate, and Spectral mass in bean Plants (...IJEABJ
An increase in antioxidant activity is a common response in plants as a defense mechanism against biotic and abiotic stress factors, such response is also generated with the exogenous application of "defense activators", which have negative effects on plant metabolism. In this work, bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cv. Pinto Nacional were treated with jasmonic acid (0.5 mM), salicylic acid (2 mM), Trichoderma asperellum (105 spores/ml), and Bacillus pumilus (105 CFU / mL), in order to determine the level of structural and metabolic response of the plants. On the seventh day after the application of the treatments, it was measured the enzymatic activity of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). In addition, leaf impressions were taken to measure the stomatal opening and conductance, photosynthetic rate, and the mass spectrum (mass/charge, m/z). The antioxidant activity increased in plants treated with jasmonic acid and T. asperellum, which in turn significantly increased the stomatal opening and conductance, and photosynthetic rate. The mass profile showed that the plants treated with T. asperellum have a greater quantity of masses/charge, of which some had statistically highly significant difference according to the means test Tukey (p <0.05). It is concluded that some defense activators such as jasmonic acid and T. asperellum increase the antioxidant activity, defense response that concurs with the high photosynthetic and metabolic rate in bean plants.

It is a gentle and effective preservation technique used for the inactivation of microorganisms to make food safe for public consumption and extend their shelf life.
Suillus species, in general, are edible mushrooms, and environmentally important that are associated
mostly with pine trees in the tropics regions. These fungi considered a remarkable source of phenolic
compounds that play a crucial role as antioxidants which may reduce the risk of most human chronic
diseases such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer, and others. On the other hand,
carotenoids (β carotene) are the most popular natural pigments which play an important role to protect
the plants from photo-oxidative reactions. In human, these compounds prevent oxidative stress and
expects to have antimicrobial activity. Here, the phenolic compounds were extracted with Ethyl acetate
from fruiting bodies of Suillus sp and analyzed by HPLC, the antioxidant activity (reducing power%) of
phenolic compounds was determined at the concentrations of 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL. Antimicrobial activity
of β carotene pigment was measured at a concentration of 100 mg/mL against some human pathogenic
bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Staphylococcus
aureus. The specific DNA region ITS was amplified and sequenced using ITS1 and ITS4 primers with
some bioinformatics analyses. The phenolic extract isolated from fruiting bodies of Suillus sp showed a
remarkable antioxidant activity by increasing the reducing power percent (from F+3 ions to F+2 ions)
comparing with the industrial antioxidant (Propyl gallate) at all used concentrations. Percent of reducing
power of phenolic compounds were 75.5, 84.9 and 95.7% at concentrations of 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL
respectively; comparing with PG were 65.9, 81.3, and 93.3 at 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/mL respectively. The β
carotene pigment revealed a significant antimicrobial activity at a concentration of 100 mg/mL against K.
pneumonia, E. coli, and S. aureus. The highest bacterial growth inhibition was against K. pneumonia (40
mm), followed by E. coli (36 mm) and S. aureus (31 mm), while no effect showed against P. aeruginosa.
Our outcomes revealed that the phenolic bioactive compounds can be used as a natural antioxidant
instead of the industrial antioxidants, and also a β carotene pigment could be applied as a promising
natural compound rather than using the antibiotics and other manufactured compounds to inhibit
bacteria activity.
Mycotoxin contamination of feed stuff often involves multiple toxins affecting various aspects of animal health, gut integrity, and animal performance. This is mainly caused by the detrimental effects mycotoxins have on the immune system, the gut barrier or the oxidative status of the animals. Effects that can be seen are, for instance, enlarged or shrunken organs as well as inflamed tissues. Binding components efficacy is essential to prevent the maximum of toxins from entering the digestive tract.

Oxidative Stress and Reproductive Inefficiencies: The Science, Evidences, and...BRNSS Publication Hub
Oxidative stress is a metabolic process causing imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants favouring abundance and overbearing effects of the prooxidants. When it occurs, there is disruption in redox signals, biochemical pathways, and control leading to impaired systemic functions. It is an implicated biological mechanism behind pathological development and diseases conditions including reproductive inefficiency, cardiovascular diseases, aging, alcohol-related diseases, adult respiratory distress, atherosclerosis, and inborn error of metabolism. In animal production poor reproductive performance currently, threaten livestock productivity. Several efforts toward overcoming this challenge (poor reproductive performance) have culminated to identification of oxidative stress as the culprit because animals’ productivity is impaired either directly or indirectly by oxidative stress. In this paper, we reviewed oxidative stress as a biochemical process affecting reproduction and also hypothesized that oxidative stress is a nexus between functional biochemical process and improved productivity. Therefore, the study concluded that the abatement of oxidative stress is possible by exploring natural sources of antioxidants for the promotion of productivity through optimized reproductive index.

ABSTRACT- Fruits and vegetables are the important source in human life. It should be safe and consists of good shelf
life which can improve the level of consumption of fruits and vegetable among the society. The processing is such a great
parameter which analyses the quality of food. Today fruits and vegetables are susceptible to the growth of microorganism
which may be air borne, soil borne and water borne disease. Enzymes offer potential for many exciting applications for
the improvement of foods. There is still, however, a long way to go in realizing this potential. Economic factors i.e.
achievement of the optimum yields and efficient recovery of desired protein are the main deterrents in the use of enzymes.
Changing values in society with respect to recombinant DNA & protein engineering technologies and the growing need to
explore all alternative food sources may in time make enzyme applications more attractive to the food industry

BROAD UNEXPOSED SKILLS OF TRANSGENDER ENTREPRENEURSIAEME Publication
Since ages gender difference is always a debatable theme whether caused by nature, evolution or environment. The birth of a transgender is dreadful not only for the child but also for their parents. The pain of living in the wrong physique and treated as second class victimized citizen is outrageous and fully harboured with vicious baseless negative scruples. For so long, social exclusion had perpetuated inequality and deprivation experiencing ingrained malign stigma and besieged victims of crime or violence across their life spans. They are pushed into the murky way of life with a source of eternal disgust, bereft sexual potency and perennial fear. Although they are highly visible but very little is known about them. The common public needs to comprehend the ravaged arrogance on these insensitive souls and assist in integrating them into the mainstream by offering equal opportunity, treat with humanity and respect their dignity. Entrepreneurship in the current age is endorsing the gender fairness movement. Unstable careers and economic inadequacy had inclined one of the gender variant people called Transgender to become entrepreneurs. These tiny budding entrepreneurs resulted in economic transition by means of employment, free from the clutches of stereotype jobs, raised standard of living and handful of financial empowerment. Besides all these inhibitions, they were able to witness a platform for skill set development that ignited them to enter into entrepreneurial domain. This paper epitomizes skill sets involved in trans-entrepreneurs of Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation of Tamil Nadu State and is a groundbreaking determination to sightsee various skills incorporated and the impact on entrepreneurship.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.
A STUDY ON TALENT MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN SELECTED...IAEME Publication
The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

1. INTRODUCTION
In modern conditions of widespread use of preservatives in food technology, the gradual
introduction of antibiotics in agricultural technologies, an increase in the number of diseases
of the population is observed due to a weakening of the immune system, an increase in
dysbacteriosis and allergic reactions. There is an acute problem of finding innovative
technical solutions aimed at restoring the microecology and homeostasis of the organism
through the introduction of new natural biocorrectors into the diet. Considering the needs of
modern consumers, it is necessary to develop new product lines that differ from traditional
ones with a higher content of probiotic microorganisms in the active form, with the inclusion
of immunomodulators, antioxidants, and organic selenium compounds [1, 2, 3].
Probiotic microflora is currently regarded as an extracorporal human organ that performs
essential functions for the body. The state of the indigenous microbiota is adversely affected
by antibiotics, radiation and chemotherapy, nutritional imbalances, the presence of heavy
metals preservatives in food, high physical exertion, and stress [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. Another
unfavorable factor is the introduction of intensive agricultural technologies, leading to a
significant reduction in the composition of plant and animal raw materials content of essential
nutrients - vitamins, macro - and microelements, which are necessary not only for the
macroorganism, but also provide the required level of the nutrient substrate for the intestinal
microflora. In this regard, the development of prescription-technological solutions for
synbiotic products containing prebiotics, active forms of symbiotic probiotics, as well as
metabiotics, further enriched with biologically active ingredients of natural origin, is relevant.
For example, in articles [9, 10, 11, 12], the process of fermentation by probiotic
microorganisms was carried out on milk-vegetable substrates with the inclusion of inulin,
soy. Probiotic products are also known to be produced on milk-free substrates using legumes,
cereals (oatmeal, wheat bran), rice, fruits (guava, orange, passion fruit), and vegetables [13,
14, 15, 16]. In these experimental studies, plant materials used for the synthesis of probiotic
biomass as a substrate were introduced in a non-activated form, which does not allow the
biopotential to be fully revealed and the prebiotic properties of these components to be used.
In this regard, many researchers have substantiated the prospects for the use of mechanical
activation, as a containing no reagents and environmentally friendly method of exposure
concerning various biological objects in order to enhance or modify their functional and
biologically active properties. Mechanical activation of natural biopolymers is a complex
physicochemical phenomenon consisting in the accumulation of potential energy by a
substance and an increase in its chemical activity as a result of an increase in the internal
structure energy and surface energy under the action of mechanical forces in the process of
intensive nanodispersion. Thanks to the mechanical activation effect, it is possible to
significantly increase the level of functional, including prebiotic, effects of biologically active
ingredients introduced into the formulations of synbiotic products [17].

A composition based on Vitazar, Flarabin, and Seleksen dietary supplements was chosen
as an enriching prebiotic component. It is known that, among all, Vitazar [18], contains
protein - 25-37%, carbohydrates - 19-25% (including sucrose, maltose, pentosans,
oligosaccharides), dietary fiber - 1.8-4.2%, fats 6.0 -8.1% (including polyunsaturated fatty
acids), and mineral substances 4.0-7.7%. Vitazar is a unique source of mineral bioelements
necessary for the vital activity of the body: phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium,
iron, manganese, and zinc. The composition of the fat fraction of Vitazar includes vitamins
A, E, D, policosanol, which has a pronounced cholesterol-lowering effect on the body.
Seleksen dietary supplement is an organic compound (22.8-23.9%), a compound of
selenium, and xanten. Seleksen does not cause adverse effects, even at concentrations that
significantly exceed the maximum permissible level, in contrast to inorganic forms of
selenium, which have specific toxicity. Favorable pharmacological properties of Seleksen are
clinically confirmed: high antioxidant activity, increased immunity, strengthening the
cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of developing cancer, protecting stem cells during
cytostatic, chemo- and radiotherapy.
Flarabin dietary supplement is produced of Dahurian larch, contains 90 ± 10%
arabinogalactan, and 0-10% dihydroquercetin. Its immunomodulatory, antiviral, antioxidant
effect, membranotropic, and prebiotic properties have been clinically proven. As a
technological component, Flarabin dietary supplement has emulsifying properties, is well
soluble in milk, and is heat resistant. It is essential to study the effect of wave-disintegration
on the activation of the prebiotic properties of the listed plant sources of biologically active
substances in order to obtain enriched synbiotic products of a functional orientation.
The enrichment of probiotic products with the composition of plant components is
essential for increasing their functionality, which is formed mainly by the presence of the
functional properties of these prebiotics. However, data on the effect of the composition
based on Vitazar, Flarabin, and Seleksen dietary supplements on the development of
consortia of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli with a microbial number of at least 109
CFU/ml
are not available. Cultivation of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, when introduced into the milk
base of the composition under consideration, will provide a new product with complex
functional action, due to the presence of probiotic microflora and prebiotics.
2. CONCEPT HEADINGS
The purpose of the research was to study the effect of mechanical activation by disintegrative
wave dispersion on the fermentation process of dairy-plant systems containing the
composition of wheat germ flour, arabinogalactan from Dahurian larch, selenium xanten,
probiotic microorganisms, and their consortia.
The research relates to consortia of lacto - and bifidobacteria, produced by Bioproduct
LLC, intended for the production of the following products: Immunolact (Str. thermophilus,
L. сasei subsp., L. rhamnosus), Laktinal (Str. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L.
fermentum), Bifilyuks (Str. thermophilus, B. bifidum, B. longum, B. adolescentis), and
BioMatrix-LB1 (Str. thermophilus, L. сasei subsp., L. rhamnosus, L. acidophilus, L.
plantarum, L. fermentum, B. bifidum, B. longum, B. adolescentis). These microorganisms
and consortia have a pronounced lactase activity and, when cultured in a dairy medium, the
concentration of active cells can reach 109
CFU/g. Direct application starters with the
following indicators were used for the fermentation: mass fraction of moisture - not more
than 5.0%; the number of lactic acid bacteria (CFU), in 1 g, not less than 5.0 billion; the
number of thermophilic streptococci in 1 g, not less than 1.0 million; citrate-fermenting
lactococci in 1 g, not less than 3.0 billion; bifidobacteria, in 1 g, not less than 3.0 billion;

yeast and mold in 1 g, not more than 5.0. Pathogenic microorganisms (including Salmonella),
E. coli bacteria were absent. The starter, activated for 2 hours, was introduced into
pasteurized (92 ± 2ºС, exposure for 2 min) and cooled (37-40 º
С) nutrient medium - skimmed
milk containing 1-5% of the studied composition BAA or nanopowder of the composition
and the resulting one-, two-, three, or fourfold wave-disintegrating effects using a fine
grinding disintegrator “Kedr 3601” (linear speed 300 m/s), with a weakly modulating effect
of SHF-EHF radiation. Skimmed milk served as the control element. The phase composition
and structure of the obtained nanopowders were investigated by the method of x-ray phase
analysis using electron microscopy with the INGA Energy X-ray microanalysis system. The
average particle size of the samples was determined on a JSM-6380LV electron microscope.
Sample preparation and microscopy were carried out following the instructions for the
device.
Fermentation of the control and experimental samples was carried out at 37-40ºС for 18
hours. In the course of thermostating, titrated acidity of the medium and pH were controlled,
the process was carried out until the growth of titrated acidity was slowed down. The
organoleptic evaluation was performed, and microbiological indicators (CFU/g) were
determined in the final products: the amount of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
3. RESULT

wave-disintegration effect are presented in Figure 1.

Figure 1 The microstructure of the composition depending on the number of wave-disintegrating
effects: a - control; b - single, c - double; d - threefold; e - fourfold
When grinding the bioactive composition in the disintegrator, significant changes in the
microstructure of the object under study were observed, depending on the frequency of the
wave disintegration effect. After a triple exposure, a qualitative change in the structure of the
nanopowder is observed (Figure 1, d), which is maintained during subsequent exposure
(Figure 1, e).
The method of X-ray phase analysis provided the data on the phase changes of the
resulting biocomposite nanopowder. The shape of the diffraction peaks on the X-ray pattern
of the composition that has not been subjected to mechanical activation indicates a weak
crystallization of the lattices of the compounds making up the composition (Figure 2, a). As a
result of mechanical activation, changes in the shape of the peaks (Figure 2, b, c, d, e) are
noted. The peaks become higher and narrower, which indicates changes in the phase state of
the following bio-elements in the nanopowder: calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, and
copper. Also, double peaks of the same element are present on the X-ray patterns, which
indicates the presence of isoform states, for example, calcium, potassium, and copper. It
should be noted that as a result of three- and fourfold nanodispersion, an amorphous
biopolymer structure is also formed, as evidenced by some smoothing of the peaks occurring

The obtained data indicate significant changes in the phase state of the bio-composition,
which may affect its functional and biological properties. The results of the development of
probiotic microorganisms consortia studied in dairy systems containing a nanopowder bio-
composition with different X-ray characteristics are shown in Figure 3.

in the process of fermentation of probiotic microorganisms by consortia
The obtained data shows that the accumulation of acidity begins to change intensively
after 3-3.5 hours from the start of the process in control, after 2-2.5 hours in systems with a
non-activated composition and after 1.5-2 hours in samples with a nanopowder bio-
composition, which indicates a more rapid transition of the system from the lag-phase to the
exponential with the introduction of non-activated composition into milk and the
intensification of this process with the introduction of the composition in the form of
nanopowder. More active acid formation should be noted in samples containing consortia of
lactobacilli, and less active - in samples containing consortia of bifidobacteria, and
intermediate for consortia containing lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
Gel formation, due to the achievement of the isoelectric point of milk caseins (pH 4.6), is
noted at various time intervals from the beginning of the process (Table 1).

The resulting clot had a uniform, stretching thick consistency. The introduction of
biocomposite in milk in concentrations up to 3% intensified acid formation in the system.
When the concentration increased to 4-5%, a slight "cereal" taste and smell appeared. Also,
the intensity of acidity increased, which may be due to an increase in osmotic pressure in the
system, which adversely affects the development of microorganism consortia under study.
With further thermostatic control, the growth of acidity was less intense; after 16 hours of
fermentation of the system with non-activated composition, clot compaction and syneresis
were observed, which reduced the visual appeal of the fermented milk product. Syneresis in
the control sample was observed after 14 hours of temperature control, which indicates a
positive effect of the biocomposite on the moisture-binding capacity of the plant-casein gel.
This allows for increasing the duration of the cultivation of probiotic microflora with the
accumulation of its metabolites, and the mechanical activation of the studied composition had
a clear intensifying effect, as evidenced by the reduction in time to reach the gelation point.
The concentration of probiotic microorganisms after 6-8 hours of the process reached 108
-109
CFU/ml and then it remained at this level for 10-12 hours of cultivation.

4. DISCUSSION
The obtained data confirm the intensifying effect of carbohydrates of plant compositions on
the growth of biomass of lactic acid microorganisms and the activation of their properties,
including exopolysaccharide activity. Many researchers have evaluated the primary carbon
sources for lactic acid bacteria - lactose, glucose, galactose, sucrose, fructose, and mannose,
as well as their combinations. For example, the yield of glycans was higher in the medium
containing glucose and fructose, rather than in the medium containing lactose or sucrose
when cultured with S. salivarius ssp. thermophilus, even though the reproduction of
microorganisms themselves slowed down.
The nitrogen source in the nutrient substrate has a significant influence on the
exopolysaccharide activity of lactic acid bacteria. It is known that an increase in the
concentration of whey proteins has a beneficial effect on the synthesis of polysaccharides by
bacteria of the strain L. rhamnosus [19] and L. delbrueckii ssp. Bulgaricus [20]. As a nitrogen
source for biomass synthesis and activation of exopolysaccharide activity, the Vitazar dietary
supplement protein can be considered in connection with its significant amounts of 33-39%,
various fractional and amino acid composition.
Vitamins and minerals have an equally strong effect on the growth of the biomass of
lactic acid bacteria and the synthesis of exopolysaccharides. The introduction of CaCl2 and
H2O2 when L. casei is cultivated in a mixture for fermentation increases the yield of
exopolysaccharides more than nine times [21]. The Vitazar dietary supplement shows
magnesium content at about 38 mg/100 g [18].
The enrichment of the mixture with B group vitamins increases the biosynthesis of
exopolysaccharides by the L. delbrueckii strain, subsp. bulgaricus NCFB 2772 from 130 to
250 mg/l. Yeast extract containing vitamins of this group (2775 mg/l) [22] had a beneficial
effect on the synthesis of L. rhamnosus L. rw-9595 M exopolysaccharides. The Vitazar
dietary supplement contains B group vitamins (mg%): В1 – 5, В2 – 0.6, В3 – 94, В5 – 6.0, В9
– 1.0 [18].
5. CONCLUSION
The experimental studies resulted in establishing the possibility of activating the prebiotic properties
of the plant bio-composition, consisting of the dietary supplements Vitazar, Flarabin, and
Seleksen. The conditions and mode parameters of the cultivating biomass of probiotic
