ANTIOXIDANTS AS STRATEGY AGAINST METAL EXPOSURE

Abstract Oxidative stress contributes to the pathophysiology of exposure to heavy metals. Beneficial renal effects of some medications, such as chelation therapy depend at least partially on the ability to alleviate oxidative stress. The administration of various natural or synthetic antioxidants has been shown to be of benefit in the prevention and attenuation of metal induced biochemical alterations. These include vitamins, N-acetylcysteine, α-lipoic acid, melatonin, dietary flavonoids...

EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCTION OF COMPOSITE FLOUR USING SWEET POTATOES

ABSTRACT This study targeted two sweet potato varieties; TIS 87/0087, Umuspo3, evaluating their performance as composite flour with wheat at (30:70%) and (50:50%) respectively.

Quality Evaluation Of Food Drink Produced From Tiger Nuts (Cyperus Esculentus) And Pineapples (Ananas Comosus)

ABSTRACT Pineapple (Ananas comosis) juice (PP) and Tiger``nut (Cyperus esculentus) milk (TN) were blended to a fruit drink. 100% pineapple was used as the control. The juice blend was stored for 72 hours at refrigerated temperature. The sensory analysis was carried out immediately after production. The physiochemical and microbial examination were carried out at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours interval. Changes in pH, Total soluble solids, Total solids, Specific gravity and acidity were observed. Th...

Java Ring Technology

Abstract A Java Ring is a finger ring that contains a small microprocessor with built-in capabilities for the user, a sort of smart card that is wearable on a finger. Sun Microsystem´s Java Ring was introduced at their Java One Conference in 1998 and, instead of a gemstone, contained an inexpensive microprocessor in a stainless-steel iButton running a Java virtual machine and preloaded with applets (little application programs). The rings were built by Dallas Semiconductor. Workstations at t...
