Global Organization Contributions to Brain-Boosting Foods Anil S. Nandane Brain Foods Nutrition to Optimize Cognitive Performance, 2026 The World Health Organization describes brain health as the support of optimal brain development, cognitive function, and overall well-being throughout an individual’s life span. This perspective emphasizes that brain health is more than merely the absence of illness; it adopts a person-centered approach that includes promotion, prevention, treatment, care, and rehabilitation. Although there is ongoing debate about the precise definition of brain health, its importance for overall physical, mental, and social well-being as well as productivity, creativity, and resilience in facing life’s challenges is universally acknowledged in this chapter. Various organizations that are involved in generating brain-boosting foods are discussed in detail in this chapter.
QUALITY ASSURANCE OF PROCESSED PRODUCTS FROM YAK MILK Anil S. Nandane Yak Milk Processing Methods and Production Technology, 2025 Yaks generally live in harsh climates in the mountainous regions of Central Asia, at altitudes of 2500–6000 meters above sea level, and can withstand temperatures as low as –40°C and pressure as high as 550 hPa. Yak milk is unique for its high nutritional content, which makes it a good food. It is useful for producing food for newborns, the elderly, and some people with special needs. Yak milk is an important part of the daily diet of herders. For hundreds of years, herders have used milk to make chhurpi (soft and hard varieties), ghee, butter (mar), and other fermented products that are an important food source, especially for people living in the mountains. In recent years, yak milk and yak milk products such as yoghurt and cheese have become increasingly popular. Since yak lactation is seasonal, yak milk production is very limited. Therefore, from a legal, consumer protection, and consumer confidence perspective, it is important to ensure that yak milk products do not contain cow milk to ensure the milk is good. Today, many analytical methods have been developed to determine the differences between different types of milk in dairy products. Infrared spectroscopy is used to analyze the quality of goat or sheep milk. High-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used for the detection of cow milk in goat milk.
Value Addition of Vegetable Processing Waste Anil S. Nandane Wealth Out of Food Processing Waste Ingredient Recovery and Valorization, 2024 Food waste occurs at different stages, such as the farm, processing line, storage, transportation, and utilization. There are four types of vegetable waste subtypes: grains (such as brewing grains, wheat bran, and rice external layer), roots and stolons (e.g., potato skins, sugar beet), legumes and oilseeds (which include sunflower seeds, soybean seeds, as well as pressed olive residue), and vegetables and fruits (e.g., orange rind, grape pomace, apple skin, tomato pomace). To effectively utilize this food waste into value-added products, there is a necessity to introduce methods and techniques for it. These food waste sources are rich in various bioactive compounds, including biofuel, bioenergy, antibiotics, and enzymes. Therefore, in this chapter various methods employed for the transformation of vegetable waste into value-added products were discussed in detail.

Storage stability of microencapsulated anthocyanin extracted from kokum (Garcinia indica) rind R.C. Ranveer, N.B. Rathod, A.S. Nandane, A.K. Sahoo, P.M. Ganorkar Food Research, 2022 The present research aimed to study the storage stability of microencapsulated anthocyanin. The anthocyanin was extracted from kokum processing industry waste and microencapsulated by spray drying. The effect of different process variables like core (i.e., anthocyanin) to wall (i.e., maltodextrin) ratio, inlet temperature and feed rate on encapsulation efficacy (EE) and Encapsulation yield (EY) was observed. The storage stability of anthocyanin was carried out by subjecting it to different storage conditions like the presence and absence of air, sunlight, room temperature, and refrigeration condition. The maximum EE (82.2±0.95%), and EY (92.6±0.86%) were recorded at the core to wall ratio (1:3), inlet temperature (140°C), and feed rate (2 mL/mins). The highest retention was recorded in encapsulated anthocyanin stored in refrigerated conditions (R2 = 0.982), with a half-life of 245.77 weeks, and a D value of 354.57 weeks. This concludes that the stability of anthocyanin was increased due to encapsulation
Effect of starch modification on physico-chemical, functional and structural characterization of cassava starch (Manihot esculenta crantz) K.A. Dolas, R.C. Ranveer, A.R. Tapre, A.S. Nandane, A.K. Sahoo Food Research, 2020 Starch extracted from cassava was subjected to chemical and enzymatic modification. Extracted native starch and modified starches were evaluated for proximate analysis and then assessed for different functional properties such as water-binding capacity, swelling power and solubility. Chemically and enzymatic modified starches recorded higher waterbinding capacity i.e. 89.69% and 96.10% respectively and higher solubility 80.33% and 79.66% respectively as compared to native starch having the water-binding capacity 70.63% and solubility 25.18%. Scanning electron microscopy revealed round to polygonal in shapes with smooth surface for native starch and spherical to oval shaped granules for chemically modified starch. Enzymatic modified starch showed relatively rough surface, pores and cracks on surface fissures. X-ray diffractograms showed typical ‘B’ for pattern native starch but in modified starches showed typical ‘A’ pattern comparatively reduced peak and covers a larger area. FT-IR Image of starch and modified starch showed the typical peaks for the starch backbone. The O-H (alcohol) stretching band in the region 3500–3000 cm-1 was found to be broadened and became less sharp, strong and broad in the spectra of the native and chemical modified starch, in comparison to that of the enzyme modified starch. Functional properties of starch such as water-binding capacity and solubility of starch granules increased by chemical and enzymatic modification.
