Effect Of Some Processing Methods On The Proximate, Mineral, Microbiological And Sensory Qualities Of Cowpea Enriched Maize Snack (ipekere Agbado)

Authors: Shakpo, I. O.* and Osundahunsi, O. F.

https://doi.org/10.31248/RJFSN2016.006 | Article Number: FAC22C611

The development of cheap, readily available and nutritious snack from indigenous crops (maize and cowpea blend) was carried out and evaluated. The objective of the study was to increase the nutrient content of the snack with respect to protein and mineral. The effect of processing methods; oven-drying and oil-frying on the quality attributes of the snack was... Continue here

Physico-chemical And Antibacteria Evaluation Of Oil Extracted From Ripe And Unripe Pawpaw Seed (carica Papaya)

Crude oil samples extracted from seeds of ripe and unripe pawpaw (Carica papaya) were evaluated for their physicochemical characteristics and antibacterial activities using standard methods. The chemical characteristics evaluated for oil from ripe and unripe pawpaw seed were Iodine value (g/100g) 52.44 ± 0.02 and 47.62 ± 0.01, Acid value (mg/g) 9.27... Continue here

Thin Layer Modelling Of Hybrid, Solar And Open Sun Drying Of Tomato Slices

Authors: J. B. Hussein, K. B. Filli and M. O. Oke*

https://doi.org/10.31248/RJFSN2016.010 | Article Number: F38448CA3

The thin layer drying behaviour of tomato slices dried using hybrid drying method as well as solar and open sun drying was investigated. Six thin layer drying models (Page, Logarithmic, Henderson and Pabis, Newton (Lewis), Wang and Singh and Parabolic) were used to optimize the goodness of fit to the experimental data. The models were compared using coefficient of... Continue here

Comparative Studies Of Physico-chemical Composition And Antibacterial Activities Of Essential Oil Extracted From Medicinal Plants Of Scent Leaves (ocimum Basilicum Lamiaceae And Ocimum Gratissimum Lamiaceae)

Authors: Aladekoyi Gbenga* and Orungbemi O. O.

https://doi.org/10.31248/RJFSN2016.011 | Article Number: D37B80564

A comparative study was conducted on essential oil extracted from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) and Africa basil (Ocimum gratissimum L.) using standard methods (AOAC, 2000, Pelczer and Black, 1993), for their physico-chemical composition and antibacterial activities. The comparison between the two scent leaves was necessary to indicate the one with high... Continue here
