In this study, carob gum (LBG) which is known to be partially soluble at ambient temperature, was fractionated using temperature of solubilisation (at 23°C, 37°C and 80°C). Two approaches were used. In the first approach, three successive fractions were obtained from one LBG sample starting by a solubilisation at 23°C, followed by a solubilisation at […]
The purpose of this study was to enrich corn flour with soybean and peanut flour in order to formulate an enriched feed for children of weaning age. To do this, an enriched corn flour has been formulated by adding to corn flour, soybean and peanut flours. The flour thus composed was characterized physically and biochemically.

A new generation of plastic film, who’s the permeability increases drastically with a slight rise in temperature, were used to bulk the modified atmosphere packages of mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus cv. U3 sylvan 381) in order to prevent the lack of O2 and the excessive accumulation of CO2 caused by temperature fluctuations during transportation and storage.
Okra gum samples were prepared by two methods – The Conventional Method and by encapsulation. For encapsulation, okra gum solution made from 239.4g okra pod was thoroughly mixed with 303.4g of yam flour and then dried for 12 hours at 60oC using cabinet dryer. The dried product (encapsulated gum) was marked – CG1. CG1 was

Effect of phytol on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis isolated from grilled meat was examined using a broth dilution method. Time kill effects of phytol concentration on the bacterial isolates after 4h and 24hrs incubation were determined and this showed that inhibitory effects of cell growth decreased at elevated concentrations. The
