...moreSesbania Seed
Sesbania i.e. swamp seeds. This is very attractive species and is found growing wild mainly in southern half of Alabama. The plant is cultivated else where. This is a shrub to small tree which reaches a height of +2m. Plant grows easily from seed and makes a fantastic garden specimen. It is easily identified by its bright red flowers and 4-winged fruits. The genus name Sesbania is a latinised version of the old name “Sesban” of Arabic origin. Sesbania is a legume also known as a “Swamp Pea”. It is great for duck marshes and quail. Sesbania makes a good cover for ducks and upland game birds, growing as high as 8-12 feet. It is one of the finest quality quail foods available. Dove and wild turkey also have a craving for Sesbania. Grows best in moist, heavy lands though will grow im most soils. Cultivation of Sesbania seeds In India seeds are sown in June-July at onset of southwest monsoon; sowings after September produce poor seed production. In southern United States seed broadcast after soil has been moistened by rains in April or May and harrowed. In India seed is usually broadcast, but sometimes drilled in rows of 30cm apart. Thicker planting facilities harvest of small plants. The crop is fast growing and needs little weeding. Usually, no fertilizers are applied. In India, it is grown as main crop in rice rotation or as a border crop on the edge of rice fields. The seeds get ready to cut in September or October, but the fiber does not suffer it left standing until seed is ripe in November. In India seed matures in about 5-51 / 2 months; in the United States in about 2 months. Ripe pods normally do not suffer. In India pods are usually hand picked and threshed by beating sticks; however, if hand picking is delayed by March, some pods shatter. In the United States crop is harvested by machine and windrowed, and then threshed with an ordinary thresher. Seeds must be treated with insecticides before storing, as they are liable to damage by insects. Process for steeping and cleaning the fiber are similar to those for sunn hemp (crotalaria juncea). In India yields of seeds are about 600 / kg / ha; in Peru, 900 kg / ha; in California, 1,000 kg / ha. Fiber yields are 100-1000 kg / ha. Sesbania Seeds Biotic Factors This crop is self pollinating and requires no isolation for pure seed production. Several nematodes attack this Sesbania: Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, and Trichodorus minor. In southern United States, this crop usually precedes autumn planted vegetables. However, because of nematode attack, it is not recommended for growing in sandy soils with other susceptible crops, as cucurbits. Weevils and caterpillars attack seed pods, and the seeds in storage. These may be controlled with insecticides. Plants are attacked by the parasitic flowering plant, Dendrophthoe falcata. It tends to thrive in almost any soil type but prefers very moist, fertile conditions. Sesbania grows rapidly in hot weather and matures in around 90 to 100 days after emergence. Seeds are highly preferred by quail, turkey and doves. Sesbania is a vigorous, very tall annual legume that thrives in warm weather locations. The stalks of this plant reach a height of 8 to 12 feet. Sesbania is valuable as a green manure crop because of its tremendous growth. It can be ready to plow under in 8 to 12 weeks after germination. Sesbania is particularly suited for planting in orchards because it protects the young trees during hot weather, and enriches the soil at the same time. The seed color at maturity is cream colored with a smooth seed coat. The Sesbania pea is classified a non Crowder class and is primarily planted for bird feed and bird feed mixtures when harvested as a professional farm crop.

...moreMustard Seed
Mustard seeds are also known as rapeseeds. Mustard seeds are the smallest seeds of the various mustard plants. The seeds are about 2mm in diameter and come in yellowish with to black. French have used mustard seeds as a spice since 800 AD, and it was amongst spices taken by the Spanish on explorations throughout the 1400s. Mustard is highly used in a variety of Indian pickles consisting of mangoes and aavalu powdered mustard and it is very popular in South India. There are many varieties of mustard which come in a wide range of strengths and flavors. The basic taste and heat of the mustard is largely determined by seed type, preparation and ingredients. Black seed mustard is generally regarded as the hottest type. In India, mustard is known both as oil seed as well as spice. Internationally, however, it is more popular as a spice. The genus Brassica consists of over 150 species of annual or biennial herbs several of which are cultivated as oil seed crops like mustard. Other oil seed crops in genus are toria and rapeseed. There are many others, which are cultivated mainly as vegetable like cabbage, collies flower, turnip etc. There are many other, which are being grown as fodder. The mustard seeds of only the above four species have condiment value. The oil yielding Brassicas that are predominantly cross pollinated, constitute a group about which considerable confusion exists, regarding their identification and nomenclature. The mustard flour of commerce is a mixture of the flours of two types of mustard seeds; brown or black mustard (nigra) and white mustard (alba). Mustard condimental properties are largely due to the essential principles of these two seeds. The essential principle or volatile oil of the brown mustard is allyl isothiocyanate, while that of white or yellow mustard is acrimyl isothiocyanate. The essential principles are not present as such in the seeds of brown and white mustards but are produced as a result of hydrolysis of their respective glycosides, sinigrin – potassium myronate and sinalbin, by the action of enzyme myrosin, in the presence of moisture under suitable conditions. Mustard seeds are sold either whole or as a ground powder. Nutritional Profile of Mustard Seeds Mustard seeds are a very good source of selenium and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, dietary fiber, iron, calcium, protein, niacin and zinc. Cultivation of Mustard The black mustard seed grows throughout Europe, except in the north eastern parts, also in South Siberia, Asia Minor and Northern Africa, and is naturalized in North and South America. It is largely cultivated in England, Holland, Italy, Germany and elsewhere for the sake of the seed, used partly as a condiment, and partly for its oil. Mustard seeds generally take 3 to 10 days to germinate if placed under the proper conditions, which include a cold atmosphere and relatively moist soil. Mature mustard plants grow into shrubs. Mustard grows well in temperature regions. Major producers of mustard seeds include Hungary, Great Britain, India, Canada and the United States. Brown and black mustard seeds return higher yields than their yellow counterparts. Botanical names: Brassica nigra Koch Brassica alba Linn. Brassica hirta Linn Brassica juncea (Linn) Czernjajev. Family names: Crucifereae. English names: True mustard or Black mustard. White mustard, India mustard or Brown mustard. Mustard Oil The seeds yield 23 to 33% of the fixed oil. The volatile oil of mustard is obtained in a yield of 0.7 to 1.2% after the hydrolysis of the glucoside sinigrin, by the enzyme myrosin. Mustard oil for the preparation of volatile oil, the fixed oil is first expressed from the seeds, which are subsequently macerated with tepid warm water for several hours, and steam distilled. The oil obtained is an extremely powerful irritant owing to its volatility and penetrating power, and is responsible for the painful nature of alcohol, or in the Black mustard is ground with white mustard for preparing table mustard and also various medicinal preparations, such as bath mustard, mustard bran and mustard flour. The expressed oil has mild rubefacient properties and is used as a liniment. The technical oil obtained during the preparation of mustard also contains the oil from white mustard seeds. In India seeds of black mustard are used in pickles and curries. Brassica juncea or Indian mustard is a self fertile species, and is a very variable annual. Its narrow based leaves are not stem clasping like those of toria and sarson. Rai matures later than either. The mustard seeds are rugose, reddish brown and generally smaller.
...moreLocust bean Gum Powder

...moreKappa carrageenan gum powder
Carrageenan is an extracted product from plant tissue and there are different types of gelling agent formed with it and kappa is one among them. Kappa Carrageenan has pure gelling property that is found to be greatly suitable for food production industry. Kappa is a compatible gelling agent that can work out efficiently on boiling and cold industrial productions. It is also agood stabilizing agent that can control the structure of water molecules. It was used as a prime component used in pudding preparation since the time it had been in use in places like Hawaii. Carrageenan extracts from red such as girgartinaceae, hypaneaceae, etc have been identified to produce gelling,stabilizing and viscous properties. They are used for commercial purpose for their properties. The extraction of gum from these is a long process. The are dried first and washed perfectly and then sent to alkaline extraction process to separate the natural ingredient from the extract. Kappa Carrageenan is a specific extract from a red algae calledkappaphycus alvarezii wherein, it belongs to the carrageenan algae family and also a commercial source. This particular sea is dissolved into an aqueous liquid and pure kappa is obtained by filtering the other materials stick to it. Application in Food Industry Kappa carrageenan is synergistically compatible with other gum products to produce gelling effect. It is mostly applied to obtain breakable gels such as in the production of dairy based fluid products. However, it forms into fragile gel only when additional component is added to it such as the calcium and potassium salts. Hence, the liquid form of ingredients which need to transform into gel like substance, should possess calcium or potassium. In combination with Locust Bean Gum, Kappa gum can show improved gelling property and develops elasticity as well. In addition, kappa gum can be used as an alternative for eggs also hence; it is applied in combination with starch to make egg-less food products. It acts as a powerful stabilizer to get a smooth final touch in several milk based products such as cheese, ice cream, etc. Kappa Carrageenan when combined with clarified locust bean gum can work out as a good gel and gets the appearance of gelatine. This property helps to used kappa gum as an alternative to gelatine. There are several tests done to further study the properties of kappa gum in combination with other gum products. Carrageenan has several advantageous properties they are, Solubility- Kappa contains good solubility property which makes this gum applicable for making variety of food products. It is soluble in both hot and cold water, however; when mixed with calcium salts it loses its solubility property. Kappa is soluble in hot milk to some extent as the presence of calcium ion prevents this property. Gelling Agent-When mixed with potassium salts kappa forms into brittle gel however; presence of more potassium salts will make the get weaker. It also works as a good stabilizing agent in food processing industry.
