The 15 Actinobacteria strains isolated from the Daqu for light-flavour Chinese liquor, were identified on the basis of 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis and investigated from morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics to analyze the role in Fenjiu liquor brewing. The research results demonstrated the 10 strains have the ability to produce exo-enzymes, amylase, protease, cellulose […]
Anti-bacterial activities of the leaf of V.amygdalina (bitter leaf) was tested on some microorganisms. Five concentrations 0.5g/ml, 1.0g/ml, 1.5g/m, 2.0g/ml and 2.5g/ml were used and the control experiment was carried out to compare the diameter zones or clearing from the extracts and already standardized antibiotics. Agar well plug method was used for the tests. The
Aim: Infants and growing children require eight Essential amino acids for healthy growth and wellbeing. The amino acids must be at optimum values in order to satisfy their metabolic requirement. Breadfruit (v.Decne)seed is widely consumed legumes in tropics as subtropical regions of the world. In Nigeria it is staple and is an important source of
Nigella sativa is a well-known plant with rich history and religious heritage. Black seed is mostly composed of aminoacides, fat acids, proteins, sterols, different essential metals, carbohydrogens, fats and water. Black seed oil is coloured yellow, which implicates presence of yellow pigments (carotenoids). Oxidative stability of black seed oil can last up to 55 hours,

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
The objective of this study is to investigate some nutritional properties of thirteen plantain (Musa paradisiaca) cultivars. Samples collected were subjected to proximate analysis expressed in percentage and mg/100g. The investigation revealed that moisture content in peels ranged from 78.74% Asinberiba to 87.33% Makomuberiba H2, the mean is 83.75%, in food, from 38.78% Okpoisan to
Blends of coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil (CO) and sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil (SO) were enzymatically interesrerified using aqueous lipase derived from Rhizomucor miehei and the reaction conditions, namely, temperature (45-65 °C), time (16-48 h) and mass ratio of oils (CO:SO; 70:30 – 50:50) were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (three-factor, three-level central composite design). Degree
This study was aimed at providing information to farmers about the benefits of palm oil leaf waste and concentrates for male weight gain in Aceh cow, the use of the percentage of palm oil leaves and concentrates to increase male weight of Aceh cow, and to provide the information about the relationship between palm oil
