A blend of equal portions cucumber (50%) and pineapple juices was mixed with clove ginger powder spices at 0.25% (CPCLG1), 0.5 (CPCLG2), 0.75% (CPCLG3) 1% (CPCLG4) (w/v) respectively to develop a new fruit drink health benefits. The juice without spice extract (CP) used as reference sample. Samples were analysed for oBrix, pH, acidity, specific gravity, total solids ascorbic acid (vitamin C). phytochemicals present in the products also determined using chemical method Gas chromatography-mass...
This study investigated the mineral and antinutrient composition of extruded snack produced from different blends high quality cassava tigernut flour. The snacks were using a single-screw laboratory extruder at constant feed moisture (27%), screw speed (60 rpm) barrel temperature (80C). It was observed that extrudates had higher values for (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium iron) than composite flour which showed extrusion cooking improves absorption minerals. (tannin, phytate,...
Seeds of 24 West African rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were evaluated for seed vigour traits in the laboratory and field two cropping seasons at Research Farm Federal University Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. Seed yields these also determined during seasons. Data collected on subjected to multivariate analysis including principal component (PCA) cluster analysis. The first three axes across captured 86.34% total variation among entries identified seedling index-I, index-II, speed...
The chemical properties of the high quality cassava-tigernut composite flour, as well physical and quantitative descriptive sensory extruded snack therefrom, were investigated. Extruded snacks procesed from different blends cassava flour (HQCF) tigernut at ratio 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70 20:80, 100% HQCF flour. extrudates produced using a single screw laboratory extruder constant feed moisture (27%), speed (60 rpm) barrel temperature (80°C). Addition improved some...
In view of the increasingly produced biofortified cassava roots in Nigeria, it becomes necessary to assess more its utilization. This study therefore aimed at evaluating nutrients value custard powder from HQYCS (High quality yellow starch) enriched with PDSF (Partially defatted soybean flour) varying proportions 10, 20, 30 and 40%. Proximate composition, carotenoid content, functional pasting properties mixture were determined. Gruel prepared evaluated for consumer acceptability using...
AbstractThis study characterized poultry manure extract (tea) and investigated the effects of integrated use tea sequence phosphorus (P) application [P added before (PBT), after (TBP), or jointly (PT) with tea] on P-sorption characteristics acidic, alkaline, neutral tropical soils. Results indicated that diluted contained 400 mg nitrogen, 155.80 potassium, 10.48 P L−1 nutrients were greatest 2 weeks. Soil sorption conformed to Freundlich model, indicating soil affinity was less than aqueous...
ABSTRACT African yam bean (AYB; Sphenostylis stenocarpa Hochst. Ex A. Rich.) is an underutilized legume indigenous to Africa. The crop has great potential as it can enhance food security and its chemical composition offers nutritional medicinal opportunities. However, the low grain yield caused by fungal diseases, including pod blight leaf tip dieback, deters farmers from large-scale cultivation. causal agents of dieback on AYB are largely uncharacterized. To determine prevalence diseases...
Abstract Seed and seedling vigour is an aspect of seed quality which affects field establishment performance. Low maize yields have been reported to be affected by several factors in poor with low vigour. Information scarce on inbred lines developed for tropical environments. Fifteen genotypes ( Zea mays L.) were evaluated determine the level differences traits, extent relationships among traits their heritability. A substantial amount genetic variability was found, suggested that most under...
Seasonality and crop combination effects performance of two sorghum cultivars in sorghum/maize/okra intercrop a forest-savanna transition zone Nigeria was investigated. Total 5 phenological stages formed the basic unit time for investigation. During these stages, agroclimatological indices were measured daily processed into 10 days averages likewise selected agronomic parameters components crops taken. The plants intercropped simple Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) fitted split plot...
An attempt was made to study the magnitude of environmental variability on protein and oil contents six genetically diverse soybean genotypes under three environments represented by locations in Nigeria (Zaria Northern Guinea Savanna, Jos Pseudo Savanna Mokwa Southern Savanna) for two years (1996 1997). Significant genotypic location x genotype year effects were observed content while significant contents. genetic differences occurred among genotypes, between years, whereas observed. Bossier...
Abstract Successful crop production depends initially on the availability of high-quality seed. Seed viability and vigour four kenaf varieties during storage were investigated. Seeds each variety packed inside thick polythene bags kept in Stores under ambient conditions two locations (Federal University Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) (29.8°C, 59.10 RH%) Institute Agricultural Research Training, Ibadan (27.5°C, 64.68 for 240 days (8 months). sampled at 0, 60, 120, 180 tested seed seedling...
