As our radios get smarter, they'll be competing for overcrowded airwaves. Game theory can make them cooperate. AD Brandon Palacio.
Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Airplane paper flight at WFN Airport, was tested today.
The activity was great to enhance their motor skills and cognitive skills. These skills were put to work during the airplane paper flight.
Date trees, one of the symbols of UAE was planted today in their ‘World Wanderers’ class.
The day began with hopping on numbers, shapes and phonics called out to them. That was a review for what was done during the week.
The ‘Crazy Designers’ had buildings made out of card board papers with some primary colors on their the roof. The activity was to develop their creativity and to have an idea of Primary colors.
The day ended with kids coloring and tracing straight and side lines.
The Children enjoyed hooked pocket dance, matching phonics and popping balloons in search for numbers. That was to learn the number concepts.
Tracing and UAE soveinor craft was mind refreshing.
On the whole, the kids were busy focussing on their necessary skills and has a relaxed learning this week.
Happy Weekend to All…
The cognitive-emotive view states that our thoughts and self-statements determine the way we feel and behave. This therapeutic model helps children understand how their emotions relate to their behavior, making explicit the connection between what children believe to be true (their beliefs and attributions) and how they behave. Using cognitive-emotive interventions children learn that controlling their thoughts is the way to emotional and behavioral self-control.

Cognitive Reorientation:
Using the Danish television police drama Forbrydelsen (The Killing) as a jumping-off point, Clemens investigates the unseen labour involved in the spectacle of television, as well as the televisual clichés we have come to understand as representative of successful detective work. Focusing on a crime scene that occurs in the first episode of the first season, which shows a car being pulled from a river, Cognitive Reorientation is a deconstruction and reconstruction of the scene’s various elements in the centre of Christchurch, providing a glimpse behind the scenes into the often-clunky production of mass entertainment.
Sited in the basement of the former Price Waterhouse Coopers building, which housed a carpark, pool, and gym, Cognitive Reorientation relates to the imperfections and fallibility of memory. Like a great deal of the city that was destroyed or demolished following the 2010-11 earthquake sequence, the Price Waterhouse Coopers building was once a place of significance for many. The remnants of the building will eventually be removed, leaving no trace and forcing those who knew it to rely purely on their memories without visual cues.
A great deal of Clemens’ previous work has engaged with the mechanics of cinema and television production, using original and recreated props and video clips from Terminator 2, Blade Runner, and Nightmare on Elm Street to produce complex installations that weave fiction and non-fiction together. There is reverence in these works, but also an implicit questioning. In Cognitive Reorientation, Clemens asks: Where does artistic fabrication begin and end? What is a clue? A sign? Proof? What is the status of evidence when our methods of replication have advanced so rapidly?

The executive system is a theorized cognitive system in psychology that controls and manages other cognitive processes. It is also referred to as the executive function, executive functions, supervisory attentional system, or cognitive control.
The concept is used by psychologists and neuroscientists to describe a loosely defined collection of brain processes which are responsible for planning, cognitive flexibility, abstract thinking, rule acquisition, initiating appropriate actions and inhibiting inappropriate actions, and selecting relevant sensory information.
The executive system is thought to be heavily involved in handling novel situations outside the domain of some of our 'automatic' psychological processes that could be explained by the reproduction of learned schemas or set behaviors. Psychologists Don Norman and Tim Shallice have outlined five types of situations in which routine activation of behavior would not be sufficient for optimal performance:
1.Those that involve planning or decision making.
2.Those that involve error correction or troubleshooting.
3.Situations where responses are not well-rehearsed or contain novel sequences of actions.
4.Dangerous or technically difficult situations.
5.Situations that require the overcoming of a strong habitual response or resisting temptation.
Cog, for the uninitiated, is the small bot that came with the original G1 Fortress Maximus. I don't know what role he filled (servant wench?) or whether or not Cog was cognitive - lets just say the entire Headmasters line was glossed over in the American show, and I honestly can't recall if Cog was ever mentioned in the Japanese Headmasters series.
Well, seeing how the Titans Return Fortress Maximus didn't get a Cog, I guess Hasbro decided it was a good time to backfill that particular sore spot by releasing Cog into the Seige lineup as it's own Deluxe sized figure.
Now, I was going to get this figure one way or another. I love the fact it goes well with the Fort Max figure, and I love the update that Cog received, like how Full Tilt received an update with the recent Trypticon. $29.99 price tag be damned.
However, my love for Cog isn't shared by I'd say roughly half the fandom. You see, Cog has a dark secret - not only does he transform into some random shamble of parts, but *GASP* he's a Partsformer.
Let me explain.
A Partsformer is a transforming toy that doesn't really transform, but rather relies to some degree on pieces that come off the main figure and then reconnecting somewhere. It doesn't bother me, personally. Some of my favorite figures have been Partsformers, for example God Magnus/Ultra Magnus from the Car Robots 2000/RiD line and the more recent Rodimus Prime from the Power of the Primes line. Some people, on the other hand, absolutely hate this fact and will refuse to buy a toy simply because of the nature of their conversion.
Now that we got that out of the way, let us continue.
Fancy box? Check. Glad we got that out of the way. For weapons, Cog comes with twin guns. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
The overall look of Cog is reminiscent of the original G1 design, from the predominantly silver and blue colour scheme, to the silhouette of the character. The original toy was technically the combination of two smaller vehicles, whereas this Cog I guess is really one vehicle. As with all other releases thus far, the quality of plastic and number of paint apps is a pleasant surprise.
I'm also pleasantly surprised with the amount of articulation they gave Cog (though honestly, anything less would cause me to riot on the streets for the $30 price tag), though that head articulation is pointless given the shoulder pads from Hell that Cog possess.
Now, the surprises with Cog don't end here. As mentioned in other blurbs, the gimmick of the Siege line is the attachment of various pieces to the 5mm ports on the Deluxe and up sized figures, known as the C.O.M.B.A.T. system.. some fancy acronym I'm not going to spend any time looking up.
Well, Cog is a Partsformer because he breaks up into various components for combination.
According to the manual, there are two "forms" these attachments can take - Defensive Loadout and Offensive Loadout. Defensive is the one where Hound is wearing platform shoes, where as Offensive is the one where Cog turns into the most ridiculous backpack of all time.
Cog is clearly designed for combination with Deluxe sized figures. While Megatron I'm sure has the necessary ports, I'm going to guess if one attached Cog to Megatron in Defensive mode, it would look like he was trying to walk around on Lego bricks.
So that about sums up my overview of Cog. I personally like it, but can understand it's not everyones cup of tea. I am quite happy with how well the Cog figure itself turned out, with the C.O.M.B.A.T. system being a quirky addition. But remember, I like ambiguous alt modes and parts forming.
Owning a Fort Max also makes this figure a no-brainer.

Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Cognitive Deficit Market
She has forgotten what she forgot
this morning: her keys, toast in the toaster blackening
the insides of beloved skulls, little planetariums
projecting increasingly incomplete
and fanciful constellations: the Gravid
Ass, the Mesozoic Cartwheel, the Big
Goatee, the Littlest Fascist. Outside her window
a crowd gathers, seething in white confusion
like milk boiling dry in a saucepan—some
lift fingers to point this way and that
with herky-jerky certainty but
they're standing too close for all
those flying hands so that eyeglasses and hats
fall—apologies inaudible, someone hands
a fist, the brawl overwhelms the meager traffic
of pedicabs and delivery trucks stacked high
with rotting lettuce. Meanwhile above it all
she's setting out the tea things: ceramic cup and saucer,
little pewter spoon, pebbled iron pot, a slice
of Sara Lee. Waiting to remember
to turn the radio on, listen for the elevator, for
the lock to turn or a knock
on the door. In a little while she'll put everything
away in the same configuration
at the bottom of a clean white sink
with its faucet dripping.
We who watch this, half-turned away already
toward sunny gardens or the oncoming semi—
being not the one dead but not exactly alive either.
The skin is a glove that wrinkles as it tightens.
The cerebellum's the same. A game
of chess between walking sticks—I mean the insects
made up to resemble wood. I say we dissemble
from photos and repetition
our stakes in these weightless names.

The activity was great to enhance their motor skills and cognitive skills. These skills were put to work during the airplane paper flight.
Date trees, one of the symbols of UAE was planted today in their ‘World Wanderers’ class.
The day began with hopping on numbers, shapes and phonics called out to them. That was a review for what was done during the week.
The ‘Crazy Designers’ had buildings made out of card board papers with some primary colors on their the roof. The activity was to develop their creativity and to have an idea of Primary colors.
The day ended with kids coloring and tracing straight and side lines.
The Children enjoyed hooked pocket dance, matching phonics and popping balloons in search for numbers. That was to learn the number concepts.

Cog, for the uninitiated, is the small bot that came with the original G1 Fortress Maximus. I don't know what role he filled (servant wench?) or whether or not Cog was cognitive - lets just say the entire Headmasters line was glossed over in the American show, and I honestly can't recall if Cog was ever mentioned in the Japanese Headmasters series.
Well, seeing how the Titans Return Fortress Maximus didn't get a Cog, I guess Hasbro decided it was a good time to backfill that particular sore spot by releasing Cog into the Seige lineup as it's own Deluxe sized figure.
Now, I was going to get this figure one way or another. I love the fact it goes well with the Fort Max figure, and I love the update that Cog received, like how Full Tilt received an update with the recent Trypticon. $29.99 price tag be damned.
However, my love for Cog isn't shared by I'd say roughly half the fandom. You see, Cog has a dark secret - not only does he transform into some random shamble of parts, but *GASP* he's a Partsformer.
Let me explain.
A Partsformer is a transforming toy that doesn't really transform, but rather relies to some degree on pieces that come off the main figure and then reconnecting somewhere. It doesn't bother me, personally. Some of my favorite figures have been Partsformers, for example God Magnus/Ultra Magnus from the Car Robots 2000/RiD line and the more recent Rodimus Prime from the Power of the Primes line. Some people, on the other hand, absolutely hate this fact and will refuse to buy a toy simply because of the nature of their conversion.
Now that we got that out of the way, let us continue.
Fancy box? Check. Glad we got that out of the way. For weapons, Cog comes with twin guns. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
The overall look of Cog is reminiscent of the original G1 design, from the predominantly silver and blue colour scheme, to the silhouette of the character. The original toy was technically the combination of two smaller vehicles, whereas this Cog I guess is really one vehicle. As with all other releases thus far, the quality of plastic and number of paint apps is a pleasant surprise.
I'm also pleasantly surprised with the amount of articulation they gave Cog (though honestly, anything less would cause me to riot on the streets for the $30 price tag), though that head articulation is pointless given the shoulder pads from Hell that Cog possess.
Now, the surprises with Cog don't end here. As mentioned in other blurbs, the gimmick of the Siege line is the attachment of various pieces to the 5mm ports on the Deluxe and up sized figures, known as the C.O.M.B.A.T. system.. some fancy acronym I'm not going to spend any time looking up.
Well, Cog is a Partsformer because he breaks up into various components for combination.
According to the manual, there are two "forms" these attachments can take - Defensive Loadout and Offensive Loadout. Defensive is the one where Hound is wearing platform shoes, where as Offensive is the one where Cog turns into the most ridiculous backpack of all time.
Cog is clearly designed for combination with Deluxe sized figures. While Megatron I'm sure has the necessary ports, I'm going to guess if one attached Cog to Megatron in Defensive mode, it would look like he was trying to walk around on Lego bricks.
So that about sums up my overview of Cog. I personally like it, but can understand it's not everyones cup of tea. I am quite happy with how well the Cog figure itself turned out, with the C.O.M.B.A.T. system being a quirky addition. But remember, I like ambiguous alt modes and parts forming.
Owning a Fort Max also makes this figure a no-brainer.

I can see what they were aiming for with this poster but the difference in relative size between the text and the "mobile" frame make for too much cognitive dissonance and break the suspension of disbelief.
Like a comet tracing her way thru space «rinôçérôse» has a galactic halo. Once you’ve experienced the music you can’t forget it, as it’s now part of you, part of a unique cognitive experience.
At the beginning, the French duet formed in 1996 by and Patrice « Patou » Carrié (bass guitar) and Jean-Philippe Freu (guitar) used to play instrumental music: a kind of magical harmony between House and Pop with indubitable energy coming from their Rock background. Partly branded “French Touch”, the Montpellier based band had – and still has- a successful trajectory abroad. Mixing high-tech visual effects and powerful songs, they manage to convey a new kind of sensation to the audience. As if “seeing and feeling sounds” was natural, the access to «rinôçérôse»’s music seems innate.
The other particularity of the band is to always host and feature different singers on their albums. The vocalists performances are enhanced by the duet’s talent to compose music. That’s the reason why prestigious names always appear on the their records. On their new one “Futurinô” , you can hear Bnann from the rock band Infadels on the title “head like a volcano”, Mark Gardener (from Ride) on “Where you from ? » and « week-end of sin », Ninja (the super energetic and sexy leader of the GO team!) endorsing the heavy duty of posing her voice on the hit single «Time Machine», Luke Paterson (Deaf Stereo) singing “panic attack » and « the heroic sculpture of «rinôçérôse» and also two french singers : Anna Muchin (from indie rock band cobSOn) and Jessie Chaton, known for its work with Justice on « D.A.N.C.E » and for being the crazy front singer of the glam rock band Fancy.
Some might say “Music makes History” then let’s suppose that Music is not only a moment but the summary of several. That’s the way «rinôçérôse» likes to compose Music – as a fusion of many Arts and especially paintings (Art Brut), dancing (choreography), programming (computer samples), producing (studio work), digital and visual contemporary arts (Eletronic Shadow) …
They could be Andy Warhol’s sons in an arty world as they manage to create a new form of expression. “Half way between Pop Art and Pop Artists” could be the unconscious moto of the musical tandem named after an Art Brut painting from Gaston Duf.
Counting prestigious fans such as Moby, New Order, Massive Attack, LCD, The roots or Iggy Pop and the Stooges , «rinôçérôse» has played all around the world from Japan to Norway and Europe to America since the beginning of its career in 1996.
Today, the band is exploring a new conception of gigs by working with a contemporary art formation: “Electronic Shadow”. Never the last and always the first, Carrié & Freu keeps on pushing themselves and their artistic investigations further, that’s the reason why the best way to understand who really hide behind «rinôçérôse» is to see them playing live!

Jerry Kang: Immaculate perception?
Jerry Kang is a Professor of Law and Asian American Studies at UCLA. His work examines the legal implications of socio-cognitive implicit bias, or unintentional racism. Our ability to judge whether we are racist may not even be obvious to us if we look deeply at ourselves. Kang disseminates the work of other cognitive neuroscientists who study implicit bias and stereotype threat, and he extrapolates the implications of this work in a legal setting. He has received the highest honor for his teaching at UCLA, the University Distinguished Teaching Award in 2010.

so here is my pic for the day. second day of school and this is my class for the day, i'm actually looking forward to this class, it seems like it is going to be pretty interesting (yeah im an odd guy haha). on a photo-related note i used a canon xti for these and the files edit a lot different then my nikon ones, but in a good way. hmmm canon or nikon for my next camera? oh well lol
canon xti/400d
canon 50mm 1.8
natural light
i always visit the hamsters at the pet store across the street from my house.
the hamsters never use shampoo.
i may smuggle in a travel size bottle of pert plus the next time i stop by.
they would like that.
Cog, for the uninitiated, is the small bot that came with the original G1 Fortress Maximus. I don't know what role he filled (servant wench?) or whether or not Cog was cognitive - lets just say the entire Headmasters line was glossed over in the American show, and I honestly can't recall if Cog was ever mentioned in the Japanese Headmasters series.
Well, seeing how the Titans Return Fortress Maximus didn't get a Cog, I guess Hasbro decided it was a good time to backfill that particular sore spot by releasing Cog into the Seige lineup as it's own Deluxe sized figure.
Now, I was going to get this figure one way or another. I love the fact it goes well with the Fort Max figure, and I love the update that Cog received, like how Full Tilt received an update with the recent Trypticon. $29.99 price tag be damned.
However, my love for Cog isn't shared by I'd say roughly half the fandom. You see, Cog has a dark secret - not only does he transform into some random shamble of parts, but *GASP* he's a Partsformer.
Let me explain.
A Partsformer is a transforming toy that doesn't really transform, but rather relies to some degree on pieces that come off the main figure and then reconnecting somewhere. It doesn't bother me, personally. Some of my favorite figures have been Partsformers, for example God Magnus/Ultra Magnus from the Car Robots 2000/RiD line and the more recent Rodimus Prime from the Power of the Primes line. Some people, on the other hand, absolutely hate this fact and will refuse to buy a toy simply because of the nature of their conversion.
Now that we got that out of the way, let us continue.
Fancy box? Check. Glad we got that out of the way. For weapons, Cog comes with twin guns. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
The overall look of Cog is reminiscent of the original G1 design, from the predominantly silver and blue colour scheme, to the silhouette of the character. The original toy was technically the combination of two smaller vehicles, whereas this Cog I guess is really one vehicle. As with all other releases thus far, the quality of plastic and number of paint apps is a pleasant surprise.
I'm also pleasantly surprised with the amount of articulation they gave Cog (though honestly, anything less would cause me to riot on the streets for the $30 price tag), though that head articulation is pointless given the shoulder pads from Hell that Cog possess.
Now, the surprises with Cog don't end here. As mentioned in other blurbs, the gimmick of the Siege line is the attachment of various pieces to the 5mm ports on the Deluxe and up sized figures, known as the C.O.M.B.A.T. system.. some fancy acronym I'm not going to spend any time looking up.
Well, Cog is a Partsformer because he breaks up into various components for combination.
According to the manual, there are two "forms" these attachments can take - Defensive Loadout and Offensive Loadout. Defensive is the one where Hound is wearing platform shoes, where as Offensive is the one where Cog turns into the most ridiculous backpack of all time.
Cog is clearly designed for combination with Deluxe sized figures. While Megatron I'm sure has the necessary ports, I'm going to guess if one attached Cog to Megatron in Defensive mode, it would look like he was trying to walk around on Lego bricks.
So that about sums up my overview of Cog. I personally like it, but can understand it's not everyones cup of tea. I am quite happy with how well the Cog figure itself turned out, with the C.O.M.B.A.T. system being a quirky addition. But remember, I like ambiguous alt modes and parts forming.
Owning a Fort Max also makes this figure a no-brainer.
Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.
