Description: Fermented milks are produced essentially by bacterial conversion of lactose to lactic acid either through spontaneous fermentation or by using a specific starter culture of lactic acid bacteria (Roy et al., 2019). Worldwide, yoghurts are among the most popular fermented milk products. During yoghurt production, acid curdling is achieved by the addition of the lactic acid bacteria species Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus to heated milk (Ahmad et al., 2020; Mahomud et al., 2020). Nowadays, yoghurts have acquired an important place in the healthy diet of consumers, as they are a source of high-quality proteins, minerals and vitamins (Gurkan, et al., 2019). In the era of functional foods, dairy industries are continuously potential of conventional yoghurt formulations by adding specific functional components. This has resulted in a new generation of so-called ‘functional yoghurts’ enriched with probiotic bacteria, antioxidants, fibres etc. that are claimed to offer additional benefits for maintaining or improving gastro-intestinal and skin health. On the other hand, consumer surveys seem to indicate that health benefits do not necessarily outweigh the importance of sensory aspects. Therefore, the rising demand for yoghurts and other fermented milk products with interesting nutritional properties, combined with an attractive sensory profile, is an important challenge for the dairy industry. The overall aim of this project is to obtain a more profound insight in the interactions between functional components, namely the natural bioactive compound and the bacterial starter in model systems of functional yoghurt formulations, and how the potential effects of these interactions are translated through the microstructure into the sensory properties of the fermented milk product.

Description: Mushroom is an essential nutrient and plays a vital role in maintaining auto-immune diseases, as well as cancer, hypertension, diabetes in the human body and in sustaining healthy nerve function. But the malnutrition food can be produce many different causes, and creates global warming for human. Therefore, this project will open new era for utilization of cheese with mushroom powder that not only minimizing malnutrition but also will be produced nutrient rich food. So this project could be contributed for the development of sustainable technology

Description: Green Banana (Musa acuminata) belongs to the genus Musa of the family Musaceae, one of the most important fruit crops of the world. Banana fruit consists of two parts: peel and pulp. Banana pulp (BP), which is the edible part of the fruit, has an abundant amount of nutrients. Considering the nutritional value of the pulp of green bananas, the production of green banana flour, which can be obtained by drying, provides a way to preserve the nutritional benefits that increase the shelf-life of banana material. Nowadays, industrial flour production from green banana is of attention in view of its nutritional value, especially the high quantity of resistant starch (approximate 40.9–58.5 %) and dietary fiber (6.0–15.5 %), as well as bioactive compounds like phenolic acids. Biscuits are one of the most widely consumed confectionary products in all over the world (Thakaeng et al., 2021). Biscuits are principally made from wheat flour, sugar, milk powder, baking powder and water. Traditional biscuits are lack of other necessary nutritional elements such as dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals which are lost during wheat flour refinement. Thus, biscuits which represent a major end use of wheat are suitable for enhancing health after incorporating sources of fiber and essential nutrients. Presently, foods are not intended to only satisfy hunger. It should provide necessary nutrients for humans but also to prevent some nutrition related diseases and improve physical and mental well-being. The health benefits of banana bioactive compounds and utilization of banana pulp flour in food applications are the current interest because of increasing nutritional awareness among consumers (Loong et al., 2018). Though this green banana flour has a positive impact on the nutritional attributes of bakery products, lack of research found on the preparation of biscuits by using those flours. The following objectives are considered: To investigate the physiochemical and functional properties of green banana pulp flour. To study the effect of various levels of green banana pulp flour with wheat flour on the physical and sensory properties of biscuits.

Description: Potato is a major crop and one of the staple foods in Bangladesh. It is primarily used as a vegetable, which contributes more than 90% of the carbohydrate food source. During the manufacture of food products from potato, enormous amounts of food wastes such peels are generated. The potato peel is a zero value waste of the potato processing plants. Potato peel also has acquired attention as a natural antioxidant in food system due to its high content of polyphenols which was reported to be 10 times higher than their levels in the flesh accounting for approximately 50 % of all polyphenols in potato tuber. Biscuits are one of nation the most popularly consumed bakery items in the world. Some of the reasons for such wide popularity are their ready to eat nature, affordable cost, good nutritional quality, availability in different tastes and longer shelf life. Therefore, the present work is to undertake the following objectives To determine the natural antioxidant in the potato peels. To examine the effectiveness in the stability of antioxidant in the biscuits.

Description: Banana (Musa Sp.) is the second largest produces around 16% of global world products and it is an abundant fruit in Asian.The manufacture of food products from banana, enormous amounts of food wastes such peels is generated. The banana peel is a zero value waste of the banana processing plants. This by-product creates an environmental problem due to it contains large quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as its high water content, makes it susceptible to modification by microorganisms. Banana peel could be an inexpensive source of polyphenols for enhancing probiotic functionality in dairy foods.Polyphenols are well known antioxidants that can decrease the oxidative stress in different food systems. It is of great importance to develop a combination of PPs and probiotic bacteria for bringing their maximized beneficial therapeutic values. Considering all the aforementioned, the main objectives of this study were to evaluate the incorporation of banana peel extract polyphenol, as an ingredient, on the probiotic viability, textural parameters, physicochemical properties and sensory acceptability of yoghurt.Therefore, the present work is to undertake the following objectives • To determine the physicochemical properties of the natural polyphenol from banana peels extract. • To examine the effectiveness of polyphenol from banana peel extract on the survival of probiotics and textural properties of yoghurt.
