Thicknesses of these flakes varied almost translucently thin near to four times thicker than normal rice kernel. The sample developed by dusting of dehydrated refined spice mixes of bay leaf, zinger, and garlic powder. Phytochemical component of spices having anti-oxidative properties works as natural preservative for cereal products. Proximate values of zinger , garlic, bay leaves and flattened rice were moisture, fat, protein, carbohydrate, energy and fiber contents (%) ranged from 5-8g, 2-8g, 7- 16.5g, 54-81g, 316-356 Kcal and 3- 26.3g, respectively. 1 % (w/w) spices powder mix were incorporated as natural preservative into flattened rice designed as one control (S0) and four treatments S1, S2, S3 and S4 samples. Physical properties of the samples were water activity (aw) and texture, resulted as S4 of 0.201 to 0.223 & 5.342 to 5.122 and S0 of 0.298 to 0.342 & 4.196 to 3.853. Moisture content and microbiological count for S4 and S0 were 8 to 8.2% & 13 to 15%; 40 to 42 & 40 to 80 cfu/g. The results are the indicator for crispiness and prolonged shelf life of developed snacks (S4). Sensory evaluation (N=30) judged natural spices powder mixed flattened rice snacks (S4) as significantly (P<0.01) superior for appearance, flavor, taste and overall acceptability than other treatment group. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.daffodilvarsity.edu.bd:8080/handle/20.500.11948/1884 Socio-Economic Contexts And Co-Morbidities Of Gdm Of The Patients Attending In A Selected Hospital Of Dhaka City, Bangladesh Haque, Md. Imdadul; karmaker, Aruna; Arifuzzaman, Mohd; Akbar, ASM Rofiqul; Ahmed, Kazi Rumana Abstract: Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is increasing alarmingly in the south Asian lower incoming countries, and Bangladesh is no exception. However, as far as reviewed, very few studies found to address the socio-economic context and co-morbidities of GDM mothers in Bangladesh, which in the present study depicted especially in urban and semi-urban settings. A cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant women with known GDM, attending for antenatal check- up in BIRDEM Diabetes Centre OPD, Shahabag, Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2016. The study selected 105 GDM patients purposively to collect data with face-to-face-questionnaire, who fulfilled the inclusive criteria. Mean age of mothers was 28.38; (SD=± 4.8) years; and majority (73.3%) of respondents came from urban and semi-urban areas and more than four-fifths (81.0%) had higher family income as Taka 25000 and above. More than two- thirds (68.6%) of them completed graduate above education. More than one-third (38.1%) of them were service holder. Exactly half (50%) of the GDM mothers with co-morbidities had hypertension. Knowledge and screening o f GDM were mostly reported among the higher educated and higher incoming people in urban and semi-urban areas. Study with large sample is highly desired to measure the extent of the problem in broad context. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
