Influence of Singeing Materials on Post-Singeing Temperature, Ph Decline, Retail Characteristics, and Malondialdehyde Status in Chevon During Cold Storage
John Oluwole Aremo, Sule Bamidele, Akinleye Andrew Babatunde Omojola, Olubunmi O. Olusola
This study examined the effects of singeing materials (kerosene, hardwood, scrape-tyre, and liquefied-gas) on various aspects of chevon (goat meat) from singed carcasses stored at 0°C for three weeks. Twelve Red Sokoto buck goats (14-16 kg) were randomly assigned to the treatments, with three replications in a randomized design. The initial post-singeing temperature varied significantly (P<0.05),
Chemical Composition of Fortified, Ready-to-Use Maize-Bambara Groundnut Malt and Maize-Cowpea Malt Complementary Foods for Boosting Immunity in Infants Against Flu-Like Diseases
Ajibo Happiness*, Attaugwu Roseline Nwabugo, Uvere Peter Orji
Maize-bambara groundnut malt and maize-cowpea malt complementary foods were fortified with a flour blend of edible termite and Hibiscus sabderiffa calyces, fermented and subjected to extrusion cooking. The fortified flour blends were evaluated for proximate composition, immune boosting micronutrients and chemical compounds known to be effective against flu-like viruses. The protein, carbohydrate,
Prevalence and Plasmid Profile of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Domestic Animals in Enugu State, Nigeria
Adonu, Cyril*, Onwusoba Restus, Esimone Charles
Plasmid analysis is an important technique for the determination and characterization of antibiotic resistance traits in procaryotes. This study is aimed at investigating the prevalence and plasmid profile of fluoroquinolone resistant E. coli isolated from domestic livestock in Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of 559 Escherichia coli were isolated from pig, cattle and chicken in Enugu State, Nigeria

The world’s population is projected to rise from 7.7 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050, with sub-Saharan Africa contributing half of this increase. A growing population signifies an increase in the demand placed on our food and limited natural resources. With the food demand expected to increase by 50% in the next 40 years, there is the urgency to make our food production systems more resilient and s
