Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers

Dear ISAE members, New ISAE Website Launched and is under maintenance, Sorry for Inconvenience!

Welcome to Indian Society of agricultural Engineers

The Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers was established in 1960. Agricultural Engineering, involves application of engineering to production, processing, preservation and handling of food, feed and fiber. It also includes the transfer of engineering technology for the development and welfare of rural areas and masses.

Greetings to all the members of the Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers.

As a youthful country with a median age of 29 years, India is emerging as a significant global innovation and startup hub. Providing impetus to startups based on agricultural engineering technology can address many issues such as employment generation, value addition, increase income to farmers, and promoting vibrant agrarian value chains. Agricultural Engineering interventions are necessary for India’s next green revolution. Many agricultural technology startups in India focusing on technologies such as protected cultivation, post- harvest

Title	Effect of Enzymatic Aqueous Extraction on Quality Characteristics of Maize Germ Oil During Storage
Abstract	Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction (EAAE) method is among the emerging technologies and eco-friendly process for oil extraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oil extraction methods and packaging material on shelf life of maize germ oil. Maize germ oil extraction was done by EAAE and solvent extraction method. HDPE and glass bottles were used as packaging materials. Quality characteristics evaluated were acid number, pH value, total phenolics content, colour change, unsaponifiable matter, saponification value, peroxide value and density at 15-day intervals for 90 days of storage period. The quality characteristics of oil changed with the passage of storage periods, and maximum change upto 190 % increase in peroxide value occurred when oil was solvent extracted and stored in HDPE bottle. The quality parameters of EAAE extracted oil were superior to solvent extracted oil. During storage acid number, pH, total phenolics, unsaponifiable matter and peroxide value of oil were significantly affected (P< 0.05) by packaging material, storage period and method of oil extraction.
