The main objective of the research is to develop a recipe of instant dry soup mix for easy preparation of ogbono soup. Instant ogbono mix powder was processed using common locally ingredients. Dika kernel powder, dried ugwu leaf, crayfish, stock fish, and a mixture of locust bean, onion, seasoning and Cameroon powder were formulated at different ratios to find the best acceptable ogbono mix pow...

20 IMR KINKEN Research Highlights 2009 Future Energy / Environmental Materials By systematic crystal structure refinements of characteristic superconductor, FeSe1-xTex (x= 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, 0.875) and FeSe by the powder neutron diffraction technique, we studied the relationship between crystal structre and superconductivity. In this work, we found the role of Fe-X network (X; calcogens, pnictog...

thymol, one 10-gra'in powder every hour, preceded and followed by 2 ozs. of magnesium sulphate, for one day. After this the stools were examined daily, and showed balantidia for five days. On the sixth day the thymol treatment was repeated. In the meantime, he was given daily an enema of 2 ozs. of 5 per cent, protargol lotion, and by the mouth a mixture containing iron and quinine citrate, nux ...

Previous preparation of iron phosphide nanowires usually employed toxic and unstable iron carbonyl compounds as precursor. In this study, we demonstrate that iron phosphide nanowires can be synthesized via a facile nonaqueous chemical route that utilizes a commonly available iron precursor, iron (III) acetylacetonate. In the synthesis, trioctylphosphine (TOP) and trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) ...

Ferritin-iron is currently considered as one of the most promising iron forms to prevent iron deficiency anaemia. We found that the cultivation of soybean seeds in a solution of ferrous sulfate results in material with extremely high iron content - 560.6 mg Fe/100 g of dry matter, while ferritin iron content was 420.5 mg/100 g dry matter. To assess the potential adverse effects of a preparation...

A study of alternative chromium reduction methods was performed for wastewater or contaminated water. Two existing chromium reduction treatment methods were tested on the wastewater samples: treatment with (1) zero-valent iron, and (2) bacteria cultures. We found that both methods can reduce chrome. However, the chrome reduction process using bacteria is considerably slower than that using iron...

individual daily requirements recommend 25-35 g dietary fiber to maintain overall health and aid digestion. dietary fiber exists in fruits and vegetables, but can also be obtained by adding wheat bran to bread. wheat bran, however, contains high levels of phytic acid that is known to chelate iron, calcium, zinc, and magnesium and form complex phytic acid cations that reduce their bioavailabilit...

Methodology Active packaging material was low density polyethylene (LDPE) film incorporated with Tinuvin 326(UV absorber) and iron powder in different concentrations (0-0.5% and 0-15% w/w, respectively). Eleven treatments were performed according to the central composite design (CCD) in order to evaluate changes in mechanical, physical and barrier properties of films. Moreover, the influence of...
