Abstract This study investigated some quality attributes of unripe cooking banana ( UBF ), pigeon pea PPF and sweetpotato SPF ) flour blends. Simplex centroid mixture design was used to obtain 17 blends from the flours. The nutrient composition, color, functional properties were evaluated using standard methods. Data subjected analysis variance treatment means compared Duncan's multiple range test at 5% probability level. There significant p < .05) differences in pasting crude protein,...
Abstract The functional and tableting properties of native (NaFM) chemically modified (by acetylation, AcFM; oxidation, OxFM) finger millet starches were investigated. tablet formation the assessed by Heckel Kawakita analysis. swelling power solubility starch increased with increase in temperature AcFM having highest power, while OxFM had solubility. X‐ray diffractometry showed that characteristic ‘A’ pattern strong peaks at 3.78, 4.37, 4.87, 5.17 Å. Chemical modification causes rupture some...
The effects of annealing (ANN) and heat-moisture treatments (HMT) on the physicochemical functional properties Sword bean starches were investigated. pasting differ significantly among starches, with peak viscosity ranging from 399.17 RVU to 438.33 RVU; however, all exhibited ‘Type C’ class restricted swelling. HMT had highest gelatinization temperature, while change in enthalpy gelatinization, ΔHgel native starch, was higher (13.82 J/g) than that modified (1.39–6.74 J/g). solubility...
Summary The effect of carboxymethylation on the functional and physicochemical properties bambara groundnut starch was studied. yield dry weight seed basis 40.35%, degree substitution 0.78, while reaction efficiency 62.50%. FTIR spectra confirmed presence carboxymethylated group modified granule with new bands at 1590, 1455 1423 cm −1 . X‐ray diffractogram revealed loss crystallinity as a result starch. DSC study showed that gelatinisation temperature enthalpy were significantly altered by...
Abstract In‐vitro digestibility and functional properties of Bambara groundnut ( Vigna subterranean ) BG flour, its native hydrothermally modified starches were investigated. The isolated starch BNS was by annealing at 50°C for 48 hr BAS ), heat‐moisture treated 100°C 16 25% moisture level BHS ). crude protein flour 16.88%. amylose content the 6.10% 27.70%, respectively. Hydrothermal modification increased gelatinization profile but reduces pasting properties. Swelling solubility with...
This study assessed the spatial distribution, pollution index, receptor modelling and health risk of metals in road dust samples from Lagos metropolis, Southwestern Nigeria. Paved unpaved were collected twenty locations for three consecutive months. Seventy two (including control soils) analysed using inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrophotometry. Dust soil data manipulated descriptive inferential statistics. Road dusts revealed high concentrations Ca (758-2509 mg kg−1), Mg...
This study aimed at assessing the environmental pollution and related hazards of industries Agbara, Ogun State, Nigeria. A total five sampling points were identified selected random. Environmental samples collected on a weekly basis for duration 10 weeks. Air pollutants measured CO2, CO, NO, NOx, VOCs, H2S, SO2, NH3, PM2.5 andPM10 using standard procedure. Dust plant also analyzed heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Cu Zn) Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Data was evaluated descriptive...
This work aims to study structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of Tin(II)Oxide(SnO) by first-principles calculations using the software VASP within Perdew-Burke Enzerhof (PBE), HSE03 HSE06 functionals. Bandstructure, total density states (TDOS), orbital site projected (PDOS), dielectric functions SnO have been calculated. We found that bandgap 0.77 eV calculated is in excellent agreement with experimentally established findings. TDOS agrees well x-ray photoelectron...
The functional properties and flocculation efficiency of purified Albizia saman (AS) glaberrima (AG) gum exudates modified by graft copolymerization with acrylamide were investigated. grafting AS AG was 54 58%, respectively. cold water-insoluble gel native 38.23 35.55%, which increased to 39.75 40.55% after copolymerization. Graft gums reduced their oil binding emulsion capacity from 4.89 3.44% 3.69 2.40%, dissolution kinetics the between 40 90°C 0 150 min revealed a steady increase in...
This study evaluates human health, pollution, and radiological risk assessment of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn), radioisotopes (238U, 232Th, 40K) its associated indices from dumpsite soils in Ogun State, Nigeria, using a calibrated atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) highly shielded γ-ray spectrometry NaI(TI) detector. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) complemented by X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to evaluate the mineralogical...
Abstract Effects of selected Hofmeister anions, namely Na 2 SO 4 , NaCl, NaBr, NaI, NaClO and NaSCN, on the functional properties a protein isolate prepared from lablab seeds ( Lablab purpureus ) were investigated. The results water absorption capacity indicated that highest was recorded in solutions lowest NaSCN solutions. Reduction followed series order > NaCl NaI NaSCN. Protein chaotropic (NaI, NaSCN) salts had better foam capacity, stability, emulsifying activity emulsion stability...
