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...

In general, seed germination is improved by low-pressure plasma (LPP) treatment using precursors such as air, nitrogen, argon, or water (H2O). Here, H2O-based LPP the optimized parameters of 10 W and s improves Bambara groundnut seeds 22%. increases wettability roughness hilum while oxidizing surface with carboxyl amine groups. this seeds, combinatory etching chemical modification facilitated i...

The knowledge of genetic variability and breeding techniques is crucial in crop improvement programs. This information especially important underutilized crops such as Bambara groundnut, which have limited systems diversity information. Hence, this study evaluated the established relationship between yield its components groundnut based on seed weight using multivariate analysis. A field trial ...

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. ) is grown for food and income in Nigeria. A total of ten landraces bambara with varying seed coat eye colours were collected directly from farmers Kogi, Niger Kaduna States Nigeria taken to the Biochemistry Laboratory Kogi State University, Anyigba, proximate analysis. The results revealed significant differences among evaluated accessions all e...

Abstract Bambara groundnut ( Vigna subterranea L. Verdc; BGN) is an important legume grown mainly by small-scale subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, parts of Thailand and Indonesia. It has a high concentration seed carbohydrate (55–70%), protein (17–25%), fat (1.4–12%) dietary fibre (5.2–6.4%). A range biotic abiotic stresses together with socio-economic constraints affect its productivi...
