The Central Institute of Post-havest Engineering and
Technology (CIPHET) at Ludhiana's Punjab Agicultural University (PAU)
will conduct a three-day course oriented towards the commercial
application of micro-encapsulation methods, which will facilitate the
development of new functional foods.
The programme, which will take place in the institute's agricultural structures and environmental control (AS & EC) division, will commence on November 20, 2013, and conclude on November 22, 2013. K Narsaiah, senior scientist in the aforementioned division, will be its director.
The content of the course includes the following:
(i) Methods of microencapsulation such as twin fluid nozzle encapsulation, membrane emulsification, sonicator, high pressure homogenizer. It will also cover some aspects of nanoencapsulation;
(ii) Probiotics and prebiotics in food;
(iii) Probiotics in aqua and poultry feed;
(iv) Immobilisation of enzymes, bacteriocins and food ingredients;
(v) Immobilisation of enzymes and microbes by use of membranes;
(vi) Immobilisation and controlled release of antimicrobials;
(vii) Immobilisation of microbes for fermentation;
(viii) Production of microcapsules using syringe, paint spray gun, particle size measurement;
(ix) Hands-on training of optimisation of micro-encapsulation using micro-encapsulators developed and comparison with other methods, and
(x) Visits to nearby laboratories.
The maximum number of seats available is fifteen. Of these, ten will be for participants working in such fields as agricultural, dairy or chemical process engineering, food science and technology, micro-biology, dairy technology, bio-chemistry, bio-technology and allied sciences in agricultural universities, institutes affiliated to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) or the concerned industries. The remainder is for students holding undergraduate degrees in the aforementioned subject areas. Selection is on as first come, first serve basis.
Each of the working trainees would have to pay a fee of Rs 6,000, whereas the students can avail the training at a concessional fee amounting to Rs 4,000 per head. This does not include lodging and boarding charges. For student participants, the submission of a bona fide certificate from the institute is mandatory.
