The study was carried out to evaluate the viability, physicochemical analysis and sensory analysis using fuzzy logic of synbiotic litchi juice drink containing probiotic L. casei 359 microencapsulated by spray drying using whey protein concentrate powder (WPCP) as wall material along with prebiotics inulin, gum acacia and oligofructose. The viable cell counts showed promising results for WPCP in combination with inulin, although, the cell count was higher than 10 6 cfu/ml for all the juice drink samples. The microcapsules showed similar morphologies with partially collapsed spherical shape with concavities but no surface fissures. There was reduction in pH for the sample containing gum acacia as prebiotic. Rheological properties showed a non-Newtonian behaviour and Herschel-Buckley model was fitted best. Fuzzy analysis showed higher acceptance for the sample containing inulin as prebiotic based on the parameters of color, taste, aroma and mouthfeel.

The first case of TGA with VSD, ASD, and interrupted LPA and its successful surgical treatment is being reported along with a review of the relevant literature. The dominant presenting clinical features have been explained and an attempt has been made to explain the paucity of records in regard to this embryopathy. An arterial switch for TGA and a glutaraldehyde pretreated autologous pericardial roll for repair of interrupted LPA were carried out. Pre- and postoperative hemodynamics and angiography data are also presented.
