47—Measurement of Hardness of Textile Fibres I—Jute

Abstract: In this paper an instrument and method are described for studying the elastic response of 3 varieties of jute fibres from each of the species Corcnorus capsularis and Corchorus olitorius when stress is applied in the form of a normal compression on the surface of the fibre—this elastic quality is defined as “hardness”.

Productivity and profitability of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius) under different weed management practices in jute-toria cropping system.

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during 2005-06 and 2006-07 in the experimental farm of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Shillongani, Nagaon, Assam to study the effect of different chemical and cultural methods of weed control in tossa jute on fibre yield and economics of weed management practices. Among all the methods of weed management, cultural method of weed control by two hand weeding (at 3 and 5 WAS) resulted the tallest plant height, basal diameter, lowest dry weight of weeds by the jute crop which ultimately resulted the highest fibre yield. Another cultural management viz. mulching with locally available cheap organic waste (wheat straw) @ 10 t/ha recorded the second highest fibre yield which was only 4.3 per cent lower than the highest fibre yield. Among chemical control method Quizalofop ethyl @ 50g ai/ha + adjuvant @ 1ml/lit of water (21 days post emergence) + one hand weeding recorded the highest fibre yield. The highest net return and B:C ratio was recorded under mulching with locally available cheap organic waste (wheat straw) @ 10 t/ha treatment. Second highest B:C ratio was obtained under Intercropping of jute + red amaranthus treatment followed by Quizalofop ethyl @ 50g ai/ha + adjuvant @ 1ml/lit of water (21 days post emergence) + one hand weeding treatment. There was no residual effect of weed control treatments on toria yield.

Food comprising corchorus olitorius l. extract and its fractions having anti-inflammation activity

Abstract: PURPOSE: A food containing Corchorus olitorius L. extract is provided to increase total polyphenol and flavonoid content at the same time exhibiting high DPPH and ABTS removal effect. CONSTITUTION: A food containing Corchorus olitorius L. extract is produced using a solvent, standard product, and experiment equipment. The solvent for use in extracting and fractioning a sample is methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, or n-butanol. The standard product for use in HPLC is quercetin, chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-glucoside, or quercetin-3-galactoside. DMEM, antibiotic, Fetal bovine serum(FBS) are used for cell cultivation. A reagent for use in RNA extraction is Trizol solution Molecular Research Center, or 1-bromo-3-chloro-propane.
