Effect of Microwave Power and Time on Total Phenolic Contents and Antioxidant Characteristics of Microwave Assisted Extracts of Watermelon Rind Powder Microwave Assisted Extracts of Watermelon Rind Powder

Watermelon is gaining importance as a functional food due to its therapeutic effect. The therapeutic effect of watermelon has been reported and has been attributed to antioxidant constitutes. The major component in watermelon rind is citrulline that has a strong antioxidant effect which protect body from free-radical damage. Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of microwave powers (150 W, 300 W & 450 W) and time intervals (1, 3 & 5 minutes) on total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant characteristics i.e. DPPH and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) of microwave assisted extracts of watermelon rind powder. Methods: The extracts collected after Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of watermelon rind wereanalyzed for their antioxidant potential through different tests including total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH assayand FRAP. Results: Microwave assisted extraction by using ethanol as a solvent at different microwave powers and various time intervals showed that total antioxidant potential was significantly higher at low microwave power such as TPC ranges obtained at 150W for 1, 3 & 5 minutes of time intervals show ranges (159.84, 160.04 & 169.71 mg GAE/100 g). While TFC ranges at 150W for time 1, 3 & 5 minutes were (21.31, 24.15 & 42.20 mg CEQ/100g) whereas DPPH ranges at 150W for time 1, 3 & 5 minutes were (53.14, 54.87 & 68.17 % ascorbic acid inhibition) and FRAP values at 150W for time 1, 3 & 5 minutes were (201.71, 221.50 & 326.43 mg FE/100g). While high microwave power 450W can result in disruption of some antioxidants at various time intervals. Conclusions: Watermelon rind is a rich source of many antioxidants andmicrowave assisted extraction technique should be implemented in the food and nutraceutical industries and microwave assisted extracts of watermelon rind should be utilize for the development of new functional food to combat many health related problems

Social and Economic Contribution of Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education: A Case Study of Technical Vocational & Commercial Education Institutions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that present era is of technology. We can not connive at its importance and productivity after we witness the Western Countries and a number of Asian Countries as well, who have not only carved out their niche by imparting technical education to their aspiring youth but consequent thereupon have touched the very zenith and apex of development in the field of technology. The research reveals that the prevalent scenario in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa in comparison reflects rather an antithesis and a dismal picture. In this province, technical education can only entice and allure the left over students, who have not accepted or not able to get enrolled by the other sundry streams in general education. The need of the hour is to acquaint and familiarize students, in particular, not only with the viability and importance of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education but also with the fact that how much trained and skilled workforce is required for our country in general and in this Province (Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa) in particular. In pursuit with organising, regularising and supervising the Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education, the government had established two different directorates i.e. Directorate of Technical Education and Directorate of Manpower andTraining in 1971 and 1986 respectively. By realising the working environment and functions of both the organisations i.e. human resource development, the government merged both the organisations by establishing a joint Directorate General of Technical Education and Manpower Training during the year 2007. iv The present organisation strives at attaining the goals and objectives set by the government for enhancing knowledge, skill and capabilities of unprivileged class in the field of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education. The Directorate General of Technical, and Manpower Training being a government representative agency ensures to implement all the rules and regulations, promulgated by the provincial government, and related to Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education. Having a close link with industries, it purviews not only Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education and Manpower Training but also Board of Technical Education (BTE) and Trade Testing Board (TTB) Technical Teacher Training Institute (TTTI). It is also playing its pivotal role on the works of Technical and Vocational Training System (TEVT), Child Labour Training and Human Skill Development in Women. In this research the reviewed literature that imbibes that crux and nitty- gritty of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education is to train and develop the students of various disciplines related to skill and human resource development. Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education provides to the student ample opportunities of earning with futuristic perspectives of business of any sort. The study is based on primary data i.e. stems on different questionnaires, distributed among students and faculty. The research questions and objectives of the study were that how the contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education is considered by all the stake holders, how the faculty link their career with Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education, how do the students receive andperceive the Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education and to what extant the students are clear about the importance scope and career. Further what are the main variable and contributor which clarify the option of selection of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education, to find out the clarity, satisfaction, emotional, and v Professional attachment with Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education and to identify both in quantitative and in qualitative terms the economic and social contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education. It transpires different bent of mind towards satisfaction level, that the decision to join the Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education contributes towards the social and economic development both directly and indirectly, future career and viability of this system of education in the long run. For analysis purpose descriptive statistics have been used and the findings have been presented in tabular form. The findings of the research indicates mostly both the students and faculty are satisfied with their decision for opting this stream of education and believe that this system (Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education) contributes to the country in general and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa in particular. Further the students and faculty both are optimistic about the shining future of their own as well as this stream of education. The research work candidly divulges that modern era is of Technical Education which not only explores new vistas of livelihood to the youth but also broadens their vision to realise the challenges this country is encountered with. It opens novel realms and domains of innovation emerge as developed country in this region. For future research it is recommended that to enhance the technical know- how the government is required to pay attention to establish Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education Institutes in all Tehsil level and in the major semi urban areas of the province. Further trade & commerce exhibitions, workshopsvi & seminars may be arranged for greater awareness of the students and gentle societal forces. Also to increase and develop the linkage with the industry and to introduce the Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education at school level. The government is aught to pay attention to establish Technology and Technical University in the province and to provide incentives in the establishment of private institutions of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education with a close check and balance system. In addition public private partnership needs to be facilitated. The donor countries may also provide opportunities for higher studies, specialized training, transfer of technology and facilitate in lessen the burden of unemployment by introducing new trades in the exiting Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education institutions.
