Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. The objective of this paper is to review nutritional benefits of tomato, its different bioactive components and their application in food products. Tomato and tomato products are very beneficial to our health as they decrease the risk of many diseases, such as cancer, asthma, heart disease etc. The whole fruit of tomato i.e pomace, seed and tomato solids have many nutraceutical benefits and is extensively used in food processing industry either as raw or in powder form. Many bioactive components are present in tomato, such as lycopene, oleoresin, carotenoids etc. Tomato is very popular for high content of antioxidant compounds and antioxidant activity. It is preserved mainly by drying (tray drying, freeze drying) and encapsulation process. We have tried to focus on to get the answer, which one is better in food application, lycopene supplementation or direct tomato powder fortification in food products.

Hydrophilisation of polyester textile materials has been investigated over the last twenty years using low-pressure and atmospheric plasmas. According to these studies, wettability and capillarity of fabrics can be significantly improved depending on the process gas used. In the present study , the effect s of low pressure O 2 - and NH 3 - plasma on the morphology and topometry of fabrics on four different length scales, as well as the influence of the topographical changes of textile structures on the resulting water spreading and absorption rates were investigated. The results of the topographic characterisation using two non-contact optical methods and wettability measurements indicate that the modification of filament nano-topography cannot satisfactorily explain the drastic changes observed in wett ability . Dimensional changes (relaxation and shrinkage) as well as changes in warp morphology and inter-yarn spaces are more decisive for inducing hydrophilicity in polyester woven plain fabrics than an increase in the surface nano-roughness of their filaments.

Thirty healthy trammers were examined in underground haulage mines during their normal activity. Physiological strain in terms of heart rate (HR) varied between 101.6 and 104.7 beats/min with mean net cardiac cost of 33.06 and 34.06 beats/min for younger and older groups respectively. The average relative cardiac cost was lower for younger subjects than for older ones. Oxygen consumption (VO2) was measured with an Oxylog-II machine (UK); subsequently values were estimated. Maximum aerobic capacity was estimated with an indirect method following a standard step test protocol. The responses revealed that the average VO2 during the activity was 0.75 and 0.8 L/min, which corresponded to energy expenditure (EE) of 3.8 and 3.97 Kcal/min for younger and older subjects respectively. The workload in terms of HR and EE was moderate, whereas the aerobic strain experienced by aged workers was above the acceptable level.
