Influence of Rock Mass Properties and Discontinuity with Explosive Charge on Muck-Pile Size Distribution
Adebayo Babatunde*, Ajaka Ebenezer O., Afeni Thomas B., Akinbinu Victor A., Okewale Ismail A., Lawal Abiodun I., Apena Waliu O., Ogunyemi Bidemi O., Amigun John O.
The cost effective technique of generating heap of rock fragments is through blasting operation. The process of achieving optimum muck-pile fragment size distribution is complex and at same time the task of matching crusher’s gape to the appropriate mean fragment size for improved productivity of crusher had constituted a serious concern to mine managers and quarry operators. Therefore, this resea
Development Of Novel Commercial Production Protocol for High-Yielding Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus Species)
Adebayo Elijah Adegoke
The main difficulties in growing mushrooms in Nigeria continue to be the low bio-efficiency of the most frequently utilized substrates and the stress that substrate composting experiences. This study assesses how well palm kernel fruit stalk (PKFS) wastes work for mushroom cultivation and makes additional attempts to determine how sterilization affects substrate composting and mushroom yield. Pleu
High Performance Liquid Chromatography Assay of Cyclopiazonic Acid in Some Stored Cereals from the Agro-Ecological Zones of Nigeria
Peter Francis Adikwu, Okibe Friday Godwin*, Abgaji Edith Bolanle, Hussaini Makun Anthony
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with a UV detector, was employed to analyse cyclopiazonic acids (CPA) in stored maize, millet, rice, sorghum, wheat and processed cassava (garri) samples from the seven agro-ecological zones of Nigeria namely; Derived Savannah (DS), Mid Altitude (MA), Humid Forest (HF), Northern Guinea Savannah (NGS), Sahel Savannah (SS), Southern Guinea Savannah (SGS)
Comparative Evaluation of Glycemic index (GI) of some Traditional Dishes consumed in Enugu North Senatorial zone of Enugu State, Nigeria
Umerah Nkemjika Nnedinso*
The study was undertaken to evaluate the glycemic index (GI) of ‘ayarayaoka’, ‘okpa’ and ‘achichca and agbugbu’ a traditional dish consumed in Enugu North Senatorial zone. The recipes were standardized and prepared accordingly. Nutrient compositions of the prepared dishes were determined using standard procedures. A serving portion of each dish containing 50g of available carbohydrate was served
