Temporal Distribution of Organochlorine Pesticides in Tissues of Two Fish Species of Tropical Reservoirs: A Case Study of Bui, Ghana
Jidauna Samuel Buba, Edziyie Regina & Campion Betey Benjamin
This study analysed tissues distribution of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) of Alestes nurse and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus from Bui Reservoir on temporal basis from June, 2017 to May, 2018. GC-ECD was used to identify, quantify pesticide residues. Sixteen OCPs were detected in A. nurse while 14 in C. nigrodigitatus, concentrations range from1.0 – 194.20 ng/g-ww in A. nurse and from1.01 – 370.97
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
