Cooking banana and plantain (Musa spp. AAB and ABB groups), have over the years been affected by pest and diseases, resulting in various organizations developing disease resistant hybrids with superior agronomic potential. The characteristics of these improved varieties needs to be studied to ascertain their suitability for use in various food systems. This study aimed at evaluating the physica...

In this study, the proximate composition, microbiological, and nutrition evaluation of wheat-mango flakes was studied. A preliminary research work done to ascertain optimum acceptable levels mango pulp addition wheat flake production using 0 80 % (w/v) pulp. Sensory most accepted samples were selected. Consequently, in main research, level varied a ratio 50 giving rise total five (5) samples. P...

The nutritional values of the three Caspian Sea macroalgae species, Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Laurencia caspica were evaluated based on proximate and fatty acid composition. The investigated species demonstrated low lipid composition (0.20±0.03- 1.62±0.26 % DW) and high carbohydrate (21.70±0.17-26.1±1.27%DW) and protein contents (13.34±2.41-28.08±0.51%DW). The as...

A completely randomized design with 7 replications (n = 7, treatments = 5 with 8 subsamples per treatment) was used to evaluate the effects of feeding various levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24%) on broiler breast and thigh meat quality. Broilers were harvested in a pilot scale processing plant with commercial prototype equipment at 42 d of age. The righ...

The present investigation was intended to study the phytochemical composition as well juice characteristics of seven plant samples viz. S. cumini L., fructicosum Roxb. DC., Basella alba rubra R. indica damascena Mill. and bracteata J.C. Wendl. collected from different places Jorhat district, Assam, India. Rosaceae family found with higher ascorbic acid content (139.84mg/100g, 142.72 mg/100g 120...
