The proximate composition of pen shell adductor muscle (PSAM) was determined, and its nutrition value was evaluated. Proximate composition analysis indicated that PSAM contained 91.07% (w/w) protein, 5.77% (w/w) ash, and 2.46% (w/w) fat. Calcium was the predominant mineral followed by zinc and then iron. The amino acid profile was in accordance with the recommended pattern of FAO/WHO except for...

Bambara groundnut is an indigenous African legume grown mainly in sub-Saharan Africa; it is an important source of protein to the rural majority. There are no established varieties and subsistence farmers grow locally adapted landraces which are generally low yielding. Bambara groundnut is a predominantly self-pollinating crop and is expected to exist as nonidentical inbred lines, although the ...

This study evaluated the nutritional composition of some most consumed cereals and legumes in Nigeria. The is aimed at providing facts about these grains, which will guide its consumption based on requirement individuals. These cereal grains were millet (Pennisetum glaucum), maize – hybrid IART, Oba super 6, 98 Native (Zea mays), rice (Oryza sativa) sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) while legume brown ...

This is a preliminary investigation of the incidence and aflatoxins in Arachis hypogaea. The survey was based on groundnut samples, collected from local market. Most dominating fungi was found to be A. flavus followed by Rhizopus sp, Mucor sp. It was found that A. flavus produce aflatoxin G .From this study, it was clear that heavy fungal load in groundnut was present, however further research ...

this experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different sources of calcium at different rates and cholecalciferol(vitamin d3) on the performance and egg quality of hy-line w-36 laying hens. in this study a total of 648 hens were managed in a completely randomized design using a factorial arrangement of 3 × 3 × 2 treatments, with three calcium sources (oyster shell, os; ground limeston...

Legumes play a very important nutritional role in the diet of millions populace around world as major sources protein and minerals (FAO, 2016). In developed countries, plant proteins are now considered component than nutrients. The aim this study is to produce ‘kangu’ from bambara nut maize composite flour. This examined chemical properties ‘Kangu,’ value added snack produced using flour Bambar...

The objective of this study was to determine drought tolerance, kernel (KY) and fodder yield quality amongst diverse groundnut genotypes for direct production or breeding. Hundred were evaluated at ICRISAT, India during 2018–2019 2019–2020 under drought-stressed (DS) nonstressed (NS) conditions. Data collected on KY; oil content (OC); (OY); protein content; palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic ac...

Abstract Fish samples from fresh fish, cleaned/washed fish; first stage dried, infusion slurry, and second finished product stored kilishi were analysed. Evaluation was carried out on products using a 10-point Hedonic scale. Microbial count moisture content showed significant differences (ρ < 0.01). Proximate composition of sun oven dried (T 1 ) record significantly higher protein (34.13 ± 0...
