The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Supplementations of teff (Eragrostis teff (ZUCC.) Trotter) grain flour to wheat flour at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels on organoleptic and nutritional evaluation of the supplemented bread. Protein, moisture, ash and falling number as well as rheological evaluation were estimated for prepared flour blends and dough. Besides, organoleptic assessme...

INTRODUCTION In Nigeria, nursing mothers are advised to give their infants plantain flour paste 'amala ogede' with 'ewedu' Corchorus olitorius soup during the process of weaning. Over-matured okra is typically discarded resulting in substantial post-harvest waste; the seed could be processed into okra seed flour for the fortification of plantain flour. The aim of this study is to evaluate the e...

The taxonomic and distributional data concerning the representatives of the genus Anchophthalmops were revised. Lectotypes for Anchophthalmopsfoveipennis and A. ventralis were designated to fix the taxonomic status of these species. A. neumanni and A. zablockii were described as new species. Maximum entropy modeling was used to test the probability of occurrence of A. menouxi on Madagascar. An ...

The influences of different variables on the viscosity and gel formation of the konjac flour produced from Amorphophallus oncophyllus have been studied. At the concentration studied, the 1.5% konjac flour yielded a viscous solution than that of 0.5% konjac flour. The viscosity of konjac flour solution were unaffected by pH (pH 2 to pH 8), salt concentration (0-10% w/v), and high acid (pH 3.5) /...
