Quality of Beef Extract & Meat Infusion Powder- Energy Impact The present research work investigated the influence of bio-field treatment on two common flavoring agents used in food industries namely beef extract powder (BEP) and meat infusion powder (MIP). The treated powders were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size analysis, surface area analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The FT-IR results showed disappearance of triglycerides peaks in both the treated powders as compared to control. XRD results corroborated the amorphous nature of both control and treated samples. The BEP showed enhanced average particle size (d50) and d99 (size exhibited by 99% of powder particles) by 5.7% and 16.1%, respectively as compared to control. Beef is known to have excellent nutritional value and it has been widely consumed in many countries. Coronory heart disease (CHD) is the main cause of death in western countries.

Keywords: Antimycobacterial susceptibility; Biofield treatment;MDR-TB; XDR-TB; BACTEC 460/MGIT-TB; MIC Introduction Global tuberculosis control is facing major challenges now days. There are various major lacunas associated with currently used directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) regimen in both MDR as well as XDR-TB. Based on above lacunas there is an urgent need for an alternative way to improve tuberculosis therapy by either enhancing the application of existing agents by means of some alternative strategy or introducing new drugs.

Chloramphenicol & Tetracycline - Spectroscopic Analysis Abstract Objective: Chloramphenicol and tetracycline are broad-spectrum antibiotics and widely used against variety of microbial infections. Nowadays, several microbes have acquired resistance to chloramphenicol and tetracycline. Methods:The study was performed in two groups (control and treatment) of each antibiotic. Results: FT-IR spectrum of treated chloramphenicol exhibited the decrease in wavenumber of NO2 from 1521 cm-1 to 1512 cm-1 and increase in wavenumber of C=O from 1681 cm-1 to 1694 cm-1 in acylamino group. Conclusion: Based on FT-IR spectroscopic data, it is speculated that due to increase in bond strength and conjugation effect after biofield treatment, the chemical stability of both the drugs might be increased as compared to control.
