    Interdisciplinarity in Education: Beyond Traditional Boundaries
    (Bentham Science, 2026) Manisha Singh, Waseem Zahra, Arbind K Jha, Tahmeena Khan, Saman Raza
    Progress in education is best achieved by using the best of every discipline. A field such as education can never progress in isolation. This chapter emphasizes several key points, including the concept of interdisciplinary, the differences between related terms such as interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and bridging disciplines. The chapter highlights the impact of an interdisciplinary approach in school and higher education. Further, it highlights the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach among two major stakeholders: students and teachers. Additionally, the chapter explores the characteristics of a multidisciplinary approach and the strategies, such as contextualising, conceptualising, and problem-centred teaching, employed in interdisciplinary teaching. The primary objective of this chapter is to provide insight into the concept of interdisciplinary education and its various dimensions.

    Assessment of Cumulative Effect of Modified Atmosphere Packaging, Packaging Material and Chemical Treatments on Post-Harvest Life of Button Mushroom (Agaricus Bisporus)
    (Jupiter Publication, 2023) Pallavi Srivastava
    Due to increasing numbers of vegans and vegetarians globally all around the world is shooting up demands for food items derived from plant sources like, mushrooms, which not only very delicious in taste but also good source of protein and other minerals. The post-harvest shelf life of button mushroom is nearly 1-3 days at ambient temperature and 8 10 days under low temperature storage. For improving shelf life of button mushroom, we have combined Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) with different chemical treatments and packaging material which leads to successful increment in its shelf life up to 12-14 days. Button mushrooms were treated with CaCl2, citric acid, and sorbitol and packed under three MAP air composition (MAP1: 6%O2, 12%CO2; MAP2: 12%O2, 6%CO2; MAP3: 20.95% O2, 0.04% CO2) then packed under two different Packaging Materials PM1 (Polyamide 20μm-Polyethylene 70μm) and PM2: (Polyamide 40μm-Polyethylene 120μm) and stored at 8oC. Packaging material with higher thickness showed beneficial effects on ascorbic acid content, protein content, electrolyte leakage rate as it had less gas permeability and less water vapour transmission rate of 1.5 g m-2 day-1. Packaging button mushrooms in thin films causes outer air to accumulate inside packed samples and causes its fast browning and degradation.
