After peanuts and cowpeas ( Vigna unguiculata ), the Bambara groundnut subterranea (L.) Verdc) is third most significant food legume in Africa. It characteristically grown marginal soils, drought tolerant, also has potential for nitrogen fixation. Despite that, year-on-year yields are on a gradual decline due to combination of abiotic biotic stresses such as uneven annual rainfall climate-induc...

Studies were conducted to develop an appropriate household/small scale enterprise level technique for the production of bambara-nut-fortified fermented maize dough or meal by comparing different treatments, processing methods and fortification levels. The effect of fortification of maize based traditional foods with legume protein, bambara-nut at 0%. 10% and 20% replacement levels, on the rate ...
