Recently, the bread made with Yudane dough prepared by mixing boiled water and wheat flour is popularin Japan because the bread with Yudane ischaracteristically moist, soft and sticky, a texture like cookedrice. On the other hand, the conventional Yudane dough has problems such as the lack of uniformity andunstable property because the wheat flour starch is partly gelatinized in Yudane dough. The Joule heatingmethod was applied to solve these problems in this study. The various properties of Joule heating Yudane (JY)and JY bread were evaluated compared to those of the conventional Yudane (YD) and YD bread, which is toexamine whether the new method is a useful method that can replace the conventional method. As a result, itwas proved that this new method make it possible to supply the Yudane having the stable quality and variousconstant starch gelatinization rates and the high quality Yudane bread compared to those of YD method. Themain reason was that the Joule heating method can produce the Yudane with a constant and stable quality.The quality of JY bread was enhanced in the superior characteristics of YD bread, such as elastic and stickytexture and good sweet taste, compared with those of YD bread. It is expected that the Joule heating methodcan be anefficient method to produce the Yudane dough with stable and superior properties compared withthe conventional method.

Mycotoxins are ubiquitous toxic secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi. They are unavoidable contaminantsthat are heavily dependent on the weather conditions. To be able to reduce the exposure to the mycotoxinsusually, post-harvesting mycotoxin reduction techniques are used. One of such techniques is color sorting. Exceptthe mycotoxins, fungi are also producing the pigments as secondary metabolites, whose biosynthesis is triggered

by the same molecular mechanisms due to proximity on the gene. The exact color changes are connected tothe mycotoxin-producing fungi. The Fusarium spp. is producing the red pigment rubrofusarin and the yellowaurofusarin. The Aspergillus spp. are producing yellow asperversin and neoaspergillic acid or brown pigments.The Penicillium spp. are producing yellow anthraquinone or orange purpurogenone. The one more significantmycotoxin producer with visible changes on the color is Claviceps purpurea, the producer of ergot alkaloids.They are producing cereal like ergot sclerotia that are dark violet to black in color. The change in color is themain basis for the automated color sorting and reduction of mycotoxin contamination. Laboratory color sortingmachine “Labseed” was used for color sorting the infected seeds and up to 95% of the mycotoxin concentration wasreduced. The highest reduction was achieved with ergot alkaloids, while method was least effective for reductionof ochratoxin A (68% reduction).

In order to determine the impact of heat stress effects as the most climate factors on mungbean varieties fieldtrials were conducted and Kawmy-1 and V 2010 varieties were subjected to extreme heat stress conditionscreated through sowing mungbean at 5 dates every two weeks namely, 15/5 (D1), 1/6 (D2), 15/6 (D3), 1/7(D4) and 15/7 (D5). The results showed that both varieties were variable in their tolerance to climate effectschanges. The yield reduction percentage was nearly doubled for Kawmy-1 when the minimum temperaturerose by 1 oC, meanwhile and reached 3 folds when the maximum temperature raised by 1 oC. Heat stressindices showed lower values as heat regimes retarded. In general, Kawmy-1 was superior in seed yield/hawhen it was sown either in D1 (15/5) or D2 (1/6) followed by V 2010 when it was planted at D1. Therewas a gradual increase in the mean minimum or maximum temperatures over D1 planting date as planting dates advanced, mean temperatures increased by 2.5-8 oC and 4.5-11 oC for the minimum and maximum temperatures for D2-D5 as compared with the best planting date D1. Photo-thermal unit (degree-dayshours) PTU accumulated for mungbean indicate that it is among the most temperature sensitive crops andproduction could fluctuate with a slight change in temperature which could be observed from the loweryields exposed to heat stress in the later planting dates compared with optimum planting date D1. Mitigationof climate change could be attained through choosing the more tolerant varieties to heat stress and avoidingexposing mungbean to retarded heat stresses.

Naeemi is one of the three local sheep breeds and is the most preferable one in Kuwait. Although there has been an extensive amount of research evaluating different production parameters and theperformance of improved breeds of Naeemi sheep in recent years, the information regarding hematological and blood biochemical reference values is lacking, especially under Kuwait’s arid condition. In recent years,hematological and biochemical tests were widely used for the diagnosis of serious diseases and for theassessment of nutritional, physiological and immunological baseline data status of livestock. Total number ofsheep used for the experiment was 20 animals of each dry ewe, early pregnant ewes, pregnant ewes, lactatingewes, rams, one-week lamb and seven months lamb. The experiment was repeated twice in the winter seasonand in the summer season. This project focuses on establishing hematological and biochemical baseline datafor local Naeemi sheep breed raised under Kuwait’s intensive management system and investigates the factorsthat affect their values such as season, sex, age, and production cycle. The results showed that the biochemical,hematology analysis and production performance of Naeemi sheep affected by the seasons and stage of production and growth. Blood parameters of ewes at different stages of production were significantly affected(P<0.05) by seasons (summer and winter). These data could contribute to the knowledge of veterinarians formonitoring the health status, diagnostic disease and management of sheep breed in Kuwait.

The food processing industry is advancing every day and new food processing techniques and food safety standards are updated nearly daily. By acquiring up-to-date news in the field and by the transfer of knowhow knowledge it helps them to stay innovative, competitive in the market with satisfied clients. This is one of the main advantages over competitors and helps them profit more from same ingredients for final products, with the usage of modern technologies, additives and by listening to the recommendations and requests of the market. Also one of the main issues, except food quality, is food safety. Here all food processing household have to meet required food safety standards, to ensure the well-being for all of the consumers and have proper arguments for health benefits statements. All of this can together with the newest food processing standards can be learned by attending a lot of seminars and workshops, mandatory hygienic minimum or all can belearned at a modern and professional study of food technology.

The increasing demand for food and fiber has led to large scale use of inorganic fertilizers in recent years. However, these fertilizers can cause environmental problems such as soil degradation and water pollution when applied at a higher volume. Widespread evidence of sulfur deficiency on arable farmlands is commonly reported particularly in savanna areas including soils used for maize (Zea mays L.) production. The utilization of nanofertilizers represents an evolving innovation and paradigm shift in agriculture andespecially in crop fertilization to promote greater efficiency through increased surface area. It is important to have different nanofertilizers compositions that are suitable for different soil conditions in order to guarantee high productivity. In this study, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur (NPKS) from inorganic fertilizer sources were encapsulated using chitosan-tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (CS-TPP NPs). The CS-TPP NPs and nano NPKS fertilizer produced were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy,Scanning Electron Microscope, X-ray Diffraction and Zeta Sizer. The NPKS nanofertilizers were applied on maize variety WE3127 planted under greenhouse condition at different concentrations of 20, 40 and 60 ppmwith three replicates. Results of the characteristics displayed from the scans and diffractogram showed the formation of CS-TPP NPs and nano NPKS was successful, with an average particle size range of 200-500 nm and low PDI values of 0.1-0.6. The greenhouse results revealed significant treatments effect on measured maize growth parameters with the tallest maize plant obtained from 1% NPKS 40 ppm. This study showed that indeed NPKS nanofertilizers have the potential to contribute toward increase maize growth and improved

productivity.
