Lihim na Iniliham Ni Freya B. Urcia May nagmamahal na ba sayo? Kung wala ay bahala ka. Lahat ibibigay sayo, basta't bayaran mo. Kaya ko naman gawin ang lahat basta wag lang matulog nang mulat. Para lamang sayo oh mahal ko, basta't bayaran mo. Ganito ba pag nasasaktan? Hindi na ba kayang maging seryosong muli? Naging matigas na nga ba itong puso? O idadaan mo na lang ba sa ibang paraan masabi mo lang na mahal mo siya? Ako nga pala si Fille. At ito ang isto...
ABSTRACT The study explored the potentials of substituting breadfruit into cassava to obtain gari analogueofwhich proximate and mineral compositions were evaluated. A portion of matured but unripe breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) and mature cassava tubers were co-fermented (100:0, 0:100, 80:20, 70:30, and 60: 40 Cassava to Breadfruit) to obtain gari analogue. The samples were evaluated for proximate and mineral analyses. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive and inferential s...
ABSTRACT Incorporating orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) into gari could increase the nutritional value of gari. This work sought to improve the nutritional quality of gari by incorporating OFSP into the gari. Multivariate response surface was used for the optimization of the optimum amount of OFSP and the fermentation duration required in producing a good quality gari. The results showed that beta-carotene content increased with increasing fermentation duration and increasing OFSP percentag...
Abstract Gari is a very important staple food made from cassava and is eaten in many parts of Africa. Gari has a granular nature and may contain different sizes of grains ranging from as small as 1 mm to as large as 6 mm. Depending on where and how gari is going to be eaten, specific particle sizes are desirable. The market value of gari is therefore reduced if a given sample to be bought has different grain sizes mixed together. To correct this, gari is often sieved into varying particle siz...
Abstract: The physical, thermal and pasting properties of “gari”, a fermented and toasted cassava granule, enriched with 10% full fat soy-melon protein supplements, at different processing stages, were studied. The stages at which the gari meal was enriched were: after fermentation but before toasting (PRT, soak-mix method) and after toasting (AFT, dry-mix method). Based on the result of the analysis of the physical properties, the swelling index of the samples decreased from 3.79 for the...
Abstract: Soil microbes have a wide range of distribution across the world and can be found in different agricultural and forest systems including cultivated soils, ant mounds, decaying trees, leaves, roots, and on insect bodies. Across five counties of Guangdong province of China, the assemblage of bacterial associates of red imported fire ant (RIFA) were examined. The locations were selected based on evidence of high presence of RIFA mounds in these regions. Samples were analyzed from moun...
ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is primarily grown for its starch containing tuberous roots, which are a major source of dietary energy in the tropics. It is highly perishable and begins to degenerate shortly after harvest. Cassava in the fresh form contains cyanide, which is extremely toxic to humans and animals. These factors make the processing of cassava into a dry form a necessity. Processing is essential for the removal of cyanides from cassava roots. This post-harvest nece...
Abstract While some Scholars are of the view that Islam permits simple interest but frowns at compound interest due to time value of money, many consider both to be prohibited. It is against this backdrop that the paper examines and interprets the meaning of the word riba in the contexts in which they are used in the four places in the Qur’an and the Hadith. Using the analysis in these sources, the study finds that ad'qfan muda'afah in Q3:130 means a continual increment which could le...

Abstract The Yoruba educational system has provisions for the care of the young ones even before the advent of western education or formal education. An experienced woman is placed in charge of the young ones, she is known as Iya Kaa. Iya Kaa is the title given to a woman who is a specialist in the care of children, she is in charge of the children until the arrival of Parents from farms. In recent times, the number of full-time housewives in Africa’s urban areas is on a rapid decline, un...

ABSTRACT Four varieties of cassava, namely: 91/02324, 97/4779, 98/2101 and NR87184 were processed into chips (30 x 2.0 x3.0 mm), ‘abacha shreds (0.80, 1.0, 1.6 mm thick) ‘abacha’ slices (0.5 mm x 60 mm) and gari. Part of the chips was processed into ‘abacha’ slices and gari to compare the products with those made from fresh roots. The mechanical properties of the products, the hydration kinetics of the chips and the ‘abacha’ shreds as well as the chemical, functional, rheologica...
Abstract: Tomato is an important cash crop grown by smallholder farmers as well as private investors in Raya Valley, Northern Ethiopia. However, the yield of the crop has been low due to poor soil fertility status and use of improper rates of fertilizers. Three independent field experiments were conducted to investigate the response of tomato to fertilizers at Raya Valley for two consecutive seasons during 2016/17 using drip irrigation. The first field experiment was carried out to investiga...
