Thermophysical and Rheological properties of ogi(pap) made from sorghum

This study evaluated the thermo-physical and rheological properties of Ogi produced from varieties of sorghum with different soaking period (12, 24 and 36 hrs.). Sorghum grain steeped for 12, 24 and 36 hrs. was processed into Ogi making use of the traditional method and subsequently dried at 55oC. The Ogi powder obtained was analyzed for functional, thermo-physical, rheological properties and the consumer acceptability was also carried out. The results showed that the bulk density ranged from...

THE MECHANOCHEMICAL AND SOLVENT – BASED SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 3,4,5-TRIHYDROXYLBENZOIC ACID CU(II) COMPLEXES.

Mechanochemical synthesis of  [Cu(OOCCH3)2(THB)2] and the Mechanochemical synthesis of  [Cu(OOCCH3)2(THB)2] were carried out, and a  brown solid complexes obtained in both experiment was washed in ethanol respectively. The  physical and instrumental characterisation of the complexes carried out revealed that the complexes obtained are the same

BIG DATA ANALYTICS: NIGERIAN HEALTH SECTOR

ABSTRACT   The study “Big Data Analytics: Nigerian Health Sector Approach was aimed to examine the health sector if they are using big data analystics in day-to-day activities. The objective of this study was to know whether big data analytics in Nigerian health sector is been implemented or available. The continuous advances in today’s digital universe and integration of computing into virtually every facet of human life are no doubt making the concept of Big Data a ubiquitous paradig...

PROXIMATE AND SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKIES FROM WHEAT AND TIGER NUT CHAFF FLOUR BLEND

ABSTRACT The proximate and sensory characteristics of cookies from wheat and tiger nut chaff flour blend. Tigernut chaff was obtained, incorporated into wheat flour in the ratio (90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40). Cookies was produced from the blends using standard method. The cookie samples were analyzed for the proximate composition and sensory properties. The proximate composition showed the values for Protein, fat, fibre, ash, moisture, and carbohydrate ranged between 8.11 to 9.98, 7.59 to ...

The effect of some weather parameters on flight operations

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION1 .1. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDYAviation probably more than any other mode of transportation is tremendouslyaffected by weather. Every phase of flight operation that is from the take off to thelanding and also  when aircraft is in-flight hasthe potential  to be influenced byweather (Kulesa, e2013). Aircraft   travels   through   the   atmosphere.   The   atmosphere   varies   vertically   andhorizontally   in   pressure,   temperature,   densit...

The Effect Of Angular Stress Performance On The Performance Of A Nickel Electroplated Steel Substrate In A Corrosive Environments

Investigation of the low carbon steel bends into different angles with dimension 50 mm X 20 mm and  then plated in Nickel bath at 3V for 25 minutes subjected to NaCl and H2SO4 corrosive environment. This research investigated the corrosion resistance of nickel- plated and un-plated low carbon steel and in a corrosive environment of H2SO4 and NaCl solutions. Weight loss method was used for estimation the corrosion rate in the current study. Low carbon steel sample was nickel electroplated at�...

EFFECT OF SOAKING PERIOD ON THE FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF OGI PRODUCED FROM SOME SELECTED MAIZE VARIETIES

ABSTRACT The research evaluated the effect of soaking period on the functional properties of ogi produced from selected maize varieties (B2W, E1Y, N6W and R6Y). The maize varieties were steeped for 0, 12, 24 and 36th hour respectively and processed into ogi making use of the traditional method and thereafter dried at 550C. The ogi powder obtained was analyzed for functional and proximate properties. The result showed that the bulk density ranged from 0.80 – 1.14g/ml. Sample N6W soaked 12th ...

THE CHEMICAL QUALITY OF WELL WATER IN ABUJA COMMUNITY SUBURB OF IKORODU

ABSTRACT Well water samples were collected from different household wells in Ifedapo Estate in Abuja community of Ikorodu Local Government Area, Lagos State, Nigeria. The samples of the well were analyzed for their physiochemical properties. The physiochemical properties of the water samples were analyzed using standard methods. The pH and Temperature ranged from 6.41-7.11 and 26.79-27.370C respectively. The bicarbonate and sulphates value were in the range of (28.41-31.41mg/l) and (17.42-28....

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CAKE FROM WHEAT FLOUR USING AVOCADO PASTE AS FAT REPLACER

ABSTRACT Avocado (Persea Americana) paste was utilized to substitute wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour as fat replacer in the production of cake. This study examined the effect of avocado paste substitutions at various proportions in production of cake. The proportions were 100% wheat flour, 95:5%, 90 :10%, 85 : 15%, 80 : 20%, 75 : 25% and 70 : 30% avocado paste. Colour analysis and texture of the cake was evaluated. Results shows L*, a* and b* value of the cakes ranged from 48.56-54.96, 4.83-6...

Consumption of green tea (Camellia sinensis)

ABSTRACT Consumption of green tea (Camellia sinensis) may provide protection against chronic diseases, including cancer. Green tea polyphenols are believed to be responsible for this cancer preventive effect, and the antioxidant activity of the green tea polyphenols has been implicated as a potential mechanism. This hypothesis has been difficult to study in vivo due to metabolism of these compounds and poor understanding of the redox environment in vivo. Green tea polyphenols can be direct an...

The effects of modernization of ancient Kano city gates

This study examined the effects of modernization of ancient Kano city gates. Three local governments namely Kano Municipal, Nassarawa and Tarauni were used for this study, covering 150 respondents that were purposively sampled with 50 from each of the 3 local governments. Also, field surveys were carried out at all the 15 gates, discussions were held with the gatekeepers, the curator of Kano State museum and other observations were made from the data collected. Results obtained revealed that ...

Chemical changes in African Star Apple (Chrysophyllum albidium) fruits

ABSTRACT The study investigated the chemical changes inAfrican Star Apple (Chrysophyllum albidium) fruits prior to onset of rains and during the rainy season, with the aim of ascertainingits optimum consumption quality. The fruits were harvested from the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure. Chemical analysis was carried out on the edible parts of the African star apple fruit(both the pulp and whitish seed coat). The result showed signific...

LIPIDS COMPOSITION IN THE EGG SHELL OF DOMESTIC FOWL

ABSTRACT Poultry eggs are eaten in most areas of the world with fewer social taboos associated with them than pigs and cattle. The most commonly used bird eggs are those from chicken. In Nigeria, the domestic foul dominates the poultry industry. Of the 120 million indigenous poultry population in Nigeria, the domestic fowl constitutes about 91 % of this. For this reason, the present work tried to evaluate the nutritional levels of the lipid composition of the free-range fertilized cooked chic...

Antioxidant Defense System in a Germinating P.Vulgaris

Phaseolus vulgaris, Common Bean is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seed (known as just "beans") or unripe fruit (green beans) and a member of the legume family Fabaceae.  They are quite popular amongst the natives because of its high protein, minerals and vitamins content (Gentry et al., 1999). The use of a wide range of chemicals to destroy pests and weeds is an important aspect of agricultural practice in both developed and developing countries but there is a w...
