PRODUCTION OF PEANUT BUTTER

ABSTRACT             Production of Peanut Butter was done using roasted groundnuts, salt and yeast. The process involved roasting and grinding into fine paste, after which equal amount of honey and vegetable oil were added, sugar, salt, followed by powdered yolk of an egg was added as colouring agent. The product produced peanut butter was yellowish in colour, had a smooth and soft texture which spread easily on bread and had a fine peanut taste. It was put under observation for...

Antimicrobial Effect of Probiotic Lactobacilli on Candida Spp. Isolated from Oral Thrush of AIDS Defining Ill Patients

Abstract This study aimed at investigating the growth inhibitory effect of probiotic Lactobacillus on Candida species isolated from oral thrush of AIDS-defining ill patients. Clinical isolates of Candida species were obtained from Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital Lafia, Nasarawa State. de Man Rogosa Sharpe agar was used as starter culture for the isolation of Lactobacilli. The diameters of the antimicrobial assay were recorded using the following dilution in part per mL (1:10, 1:100, 1:1000,...
