Tomato is among the most commercialised fruits due to its high nutritional value and health-promoting compounds. However, tomatoes have a short shelf life plastic packaging materials are used mitigate perishability. Nevertheless, exhaustion of nonrenewable natural resources produce plastics demand for eco-friendly entailed search other alternatives. Edible coatings emerged as an effective envir...

The aim of this work is twofold : to measure the level misinvoicing in Benin's trade with its main trading partners and determine causes. First, based on mirror statistics, we estimate gross discrepancies at about $3.065 billion average over period 2000-2017. Its very important development represents more than 350% increase 18 years. Fraud dominated by under-invoicing both imports exports. coun...

Participatory on-farm evaluation of improved tomato varieties namely;‘Melka salsa, 'Roma VF' and 'Kochero’ against the local variety was carried out in 2019/20 irrigation season. The trial laid on unreplicated simple plots using six farmers as replication at scheme Saka kebele Abergelle woreda. experiment intended to evaluate demonstrate performances different for farmers, then collect assess t...

Abstract The most prevalent by-product produced by the brewery factory is brewer's spent grain (BSG). A total of 70%, 10%, and 20% BSG are used for animal feed, biogas production, landfills, respectively. Feeding wet can avoid cost drying. Wet as a replacement forage in diets animals. high moisture content ease deterioration leftover fresh feed drawbacks (3–5 days). provided low-cost despite it...

Objectives: This study's goal was to compare the mean surface roughness of nano hybrid and micro composites using a one-step polishing method. comparison made based on idea that material with reduced will exhibit superior perishability, aesthetics, & optical properties, which means less wear, staining, low plaque, caries rate. Methodology: comparative study carried out in April 2023 at Ayub...

Background: Broccoli [Brassica oleracea (L.) var.italica plecnk.] is a cole crop with highly perishability. It rich in vitamin, antioxidants, anticancerous compounds and health promoting chemicals. harvested at tender tight bud stage due to which the deterioration rate high because of respiration broccoli head. This exotic becoming popular since consumers are continuously conscious. has shelf l...

This paper is devoted to further strengthening, in the current asymmetric information environment, informed level of operators about network performance. Specifically, view burst and perishability a packet loss event, better meet real-time requirements high-speed backbone performance monitoring, model for Packet Loss Measurement at access boundary Based on Sampled Flow (PLMBSF) presented this u...

Fruits and vegetables, known for their large nutrient potential, are more susceptible to high postharvest loss than other crops. Factors such as perishability, poor post-production handling storage processing infrastructures, increase the magnitude of food losses. The fruits vegetables in Sub-Saharan Africa ranges from 30% 50%. One key strategy overcome losses is through cold chain integration ...

Background: Poverty has been a prevailing challenge among individuals and farmers most especially in the Nigerian economy. The study analyzed poverty status of cassava Agrarian region Cross River State, Nigeria. Methods: A multistage sampling technique was adopted selecting 120 respondents using structured questionnaire between 2019 2022. Data obtained were both descriptive inferential statisti...

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the major cash crops grown mostly in northern Nigeria, nevertheless with perpetual scarcity at off season due to its perishability as actors lacked adequate storability thus, sells low price avoid spoilage hand. The study seeks evaluate onion value chain (producers and retailers) Kebbi State, Nigeria. Purposive, simple random convenience sampling procedures were...
