Ready to Eat (RTE) tender Jackfruit curry was prepared and processed by using steam air retort with an overriding pressure of 15 lbs. The cumulative lethality value was 6.0 with a total processing time of 45 minutes. The tender jack fruit curry was stored under ambient (27 -30°C). The samples were analyzed for changes in moisture, fat, free fatty acids, peroxide value, microbiological and texture, sensory quality attributes. The hardness of the tender jack fruit was reduced from 39 N to 9 N at blanching and 1 N at retort processed product due to heat induced softening of tissue. Further no significant changes were observed in free fatty acids and peroxide value during storage. The product was acceptable and stable up to 12 months under ambient condition with good texture and sensory characteristics.

“…For instance, there is a great deal of debate on both the quality and quantity of health information on the World Wide Web. 23 Several studies show that health information on the Internet is not always accurate 24,25 or complete. [25][26][27] In addition, even if it is accurate, people cannot always find the information they want online.…”

“…[18][19][20][21] Though draft guidance is aimed at providing regulatory clarity, it can also lead to confusion, hence necessitating the examination of NOVs/ warning letters in Kim's study and others. [22][23][24][25] However, Kim's piece does not fully assess the relationship between content of NOVs/warning letters and how it tracks with the timing of FDA regulatory guidance issued during the 10-year study period. This is an important component in assessing whether regulatory intervention (through the combination of warning/violation letters and issuance of industry guidance) has had its desired impact: primarily clarifying for manufacturers what forms of eDTCA content will trigger a violation, ensuring manufacturers correct existing deficiencies, and dissuading these activities in future marketing practices.…”

The adoption and use of digital forms of direct-to-consumer advertising (also known as "eDTCA") is on the rise. At the same time, the universe of eDTCA is expanding, as technology on Internet-based platforms continues to evolve, from static websites, to social media, and nearly ubiquitous use of mobile devices. However, little is known about how this unique form of pharmaceutical marketing impacts consumer behavior, public health, and overall healthcare utilization. The study by Kim analyzing US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notices of violations (NOVs) and warning letters regarding online promotional activities takes us in the right direction, but study results raise as many questions as it does answers. Chief among these are unanswered concerns about the unique regulatory challenges posed by the "disruptive" qualities of eDTCA, and whether regulators have sufficient resources and oversight powers to proactively address potential violations. Further, the globalization of eDTCA via borderless Internet-based technologies raises larger concerns about the potential global impact of this form of health marketing unique to only the United States and New Zealand. Collectively, these challenges make it unlikely that regulatory science will be able to keep apace with the continued rapid evolution of eDTCA unless more creative policy solutions are explored.
