Fish resources have been identified as the most valuable natural food resources for mankind due to its importance as a veritable protein and other mineral resources, which are important for normal functioning of the body system. It was on this basis that the study was carried out to investigate the utilization of fresh-water fish species […]
This study examined economic analysis of rice marketing in some selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ekiti State, Nigeria. A total of one hundred and twenty respondents were sampled for the study in three (LGAs) in Ekiti State. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to collect the sample. The result of the socio-economic characteristics
This work was aimed at evaluating the proximate composition, some anti-nutritional factors and functional properties of composite flour produced from wheat, pigeon pea and unripe plantain. Four blends of composite flour were formulated by homogeneously mixing wheat flour, pigeon pea flour and plantain flour in the proportion of 95:5:0 (WPF), 85:10:5 (WPU1), 75:15:10 (WPU2), 65:20:15

King tuber mushroom (Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fries) Singer) is found in the continents of Africa, Asia and Australia. It is a macro-fungus with edible sclerotium, used both as food and herbal medicine. It grows naturally on decaying wood in the forest. When cultivated, it provides good source of income to farmers. It aids in transforming agricultural
Comparative study of raw and anaerobic fermented tiger nut seed oil was investigated to know whether the effect of anaerobic fermentation will alter the mineral and fatty acid composition of the oil from the sample. The mineral composition observed in mg/kg for oil from raw and anaerobic fermentation tiger nut were Potassium(K)(3265.48±0.50and22851.200±0.50),Sodium(Na)(20.210±0.10 and18.750±0.10),Calcium(Ca)(5.330±0.10and6.471±0.10),Lead(Pb)(0.130±0.05and 0.101±0.05)Copper(Cu) (2.024±0.10
A natural antioxidative Monodora myristica (Ehuru) active film package for lipid food preservation was produced by cast method. 0 – 5% w/w ehuru antioxidant extract (EAE) was incorporated into PSF film. Into another PSF resin was incorporated 5% alpha tocopherol (AT) and another, a blend of (EAE)/ α-tocopherol (AT). Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP), were
The proximate composition and the fibres content of the carob seed tegument were analyzed in order to evaluate the effect of carob seed hull fragments (as contaminants) on locust bean gum (a galactomannan usually used as food additive) composition.The separation of the seed components by boiling water pre-treatment furnished ~30% of brown coat. The seed
