Food industry applications, both of pure lactose
and lactosecontaining dairy by-products, have
markedly increased since the 1960s. For
example, its bland flavor has lent to its use as
a carrier and stabiliser of aromas and
pharmaceutical products. Lactose is not added
directly to many foods, because it is not sweet
and its solubility is less than other sugars
commonly used in food. Infant formula is a
notable exception where the addition of lactose
is necessary to match the composition of
human milk. xÄy!‰þ¦þy¢Å

94. (c) Argon is the third most common gas in the
Earth’s atmosphere, at 0.93% (9,300 ppm),
making it approximately 23.8 times as abundant
as next most common atmospheric gas, carbon
dioxide (390 ppm), and more than 500 times
as abundant as the next most common noble
gas, neon (18 ppm). Nearly all of this argon is
radiogenic argon-40 derived from the decay of
potassium-40 in the Earth’s crust. In the
universe, argon-36 is by far the most common
argon isotope, being the preferred argon isotope
produced by stellar nucleosynthesis in
supernovas. We find the inert gases argon
(9,340 ppmv), neon (18.18 ppmv) and helium
 8 î¡ìÅ éôé 10– £z¢Ä% éôé 8  !vþöì¢Áºîû– 2022
(5.24 ppmv) in the earth’s atmosphere. Note
that we use ppmv here to mean parts per
million by volume.Argon is produced
industrially by the fractional distillation of liquid
air. Argon is mostly used as an inert shielding
gas in welding and other hightemperature
industrial processes where ordinarily non-
reactive substances become reactive. xÄy!‰þ¦þy¢Å

ìg 722%), including cod liver oil; dandelion
greens (5588 IU 112%); carrot (835 ìg 93%);
broccoli leaf (800 ìg 89%); spinach (469 ìg
52%); collard greens (333 ìg 37%), etc.
Brewer’s yeast is often taken as a powder, or
as tablets or capsules. High-quality brewer’s
yeast powder or flakes contain as much as 60
mcg of chromium per tablespoon (15 grams).
The B-complex vitamins in brewers yeast
include B 1 (thiamine), B 2 (riboflavin), B 3
(niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine),
B9 (folic acid), and H or B7 (biotin). These
vitamins help break down carbohydrates, fats,

and proteins, which provide the body with
energy. Wheat germ oil is extracted from the
germ of the wheat kernel, which makes up
only 2.5% by weight of the kernel. Wheat
germ oil is very high in vitamin E, and has the
highest content of vitamin E of any food that
has not undergone prior preparation or vitamin
fortification. Raw cabbage is a good source of
vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help protect
our body. All cabbage types provide vitamin
C, folic acid, potassium, manganese,
magnesium, riboflavin and thiamin. xÄy!‰þ¦þy¢Å

India. Owned by a few British companies, it
was set up by General Electric of the US. It

hydro power plant, a 130 kilowatt plant, started
functioning in 1897 at Darjeeling. xÄy!‰þ¦þy¢Å
