CONCENTRATION OF NUTRIENTS PRESENT IN FRESH AND ROASTED BUSH MEAT (GRASS CUTTER) (Thryonomys swinderianus) Victor-Osanyinlusi Remi1
Bush meat (Grass cutter) is one of the best natural meats with lots of nutritional advantages. The increase in consumption of bush meat serves as alternative which bridges the gap of the inadequacy of animal protein and other nutrition. The grass cutter (Thryonomys swinderianus) meat samples used in this research were collected from Emure Owo market, in Owo local government of Ondo state, Nigeria. The hairy skin of the fresh lifeless grass cutter was removed using hot water. The grass cutter ...

Quality evaluation and antimicrobial activities of Adzuki bean seed oil (vigina Angularis)
ABSTRACT The crude oil extracted from Adzuki bean oil (Vigna Angularis), purchased from Owo in Oba market in Owo local government area of Ondo state Nigeria. The extraction of the oil from the seed was carried out by soxhlet method using hexane as the extractant. The physicochemical properties of the oil were determined using gas chromatography (GC) and other standard methods. The antimicrobial activities were carried out using five species of bacterial. The results of the investigation is a...
Cannabis sativa seed flour
Abstract The hemp (Cannabis sativa) used for this work were obtained in a farm at Ogbese in Owo Local Government of Ondo State Nigeria. They were prepared for use by decoating, sun drying and milling. The milled sample were subdivided into two portions, one portion was defatted and named as defatted sample using normal hexane while the other portion was left raw. The samples were powdered in willey mill 60 mesh sizes and stored in screw cap bottle at room temperature for further analysis...
Biochemical Characteristics of the Hemp (Cannabis sativa) Seed Oil
Abstract The Cannabis sativa seed (India hemp) used for this work were obtained in a farm land at Ogbese in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State Nigeria. The seed were prepared for use by decorating, and milling and sun drying. A soxhlet 0.01%), acid value (9.75±0.025), saponification value (2.65±0.15 mg/g/KOH), peroxide value (85±0.01 mg/kg), iodine value (110.00±0.25 wij) and the yield percentage is 35/05% respectively. The extractor was used and hexane was used as solvent, which wa...
The effect of various drying methods on the nutritional composition of Lycopersicum esculentum and Abelmoschus esculentus L.
Abstract Food drying is one of the methods for preserving perishable foods for long periods of time. The nutritional composition of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentus) and okra (Abelmoschus esculentum) was investigated using the commonly available drying methods (sun, oven, and solar drying). The nutritional compositions of these food crops were determined after they have been dried using various drying methods and milled to pass through mesh size. The moisture content of these food samples wa...
Comparative study on the Effect of boiling on the nutritional composition of garden egg solanum melogena
Abstract Garden egg is a plant with edible fruit and its potential as a medicinal fruit have also been investigated. Extract has been suggested to have effects that could be therapeutic and nutritional. Analyses were carried out to determine the proximate and phytochemical constituents of both processed and raw indigenous Africa eggplant (Solanum macrocarpon and solanum aethiopicum). Proximate analysis of process and raw solanum macrocarpon (WBA) per (100%) showed: 75.13% moisture, 3.50% ...
Nutrional composition of the fruit, leave, root and bark of Africa black velvet tamarind (Diallum guineense)
Abstract The study is to identify the presence of phytochemical composition, proximate composition and mineral composition of the fruit, leave, bark and root of Africa Black Velvet Tamarind (dialium guineense). It is aimed at investigating the nutritionall constituenrs of the fruit, leave, bark and root of Africa Black Velvet tamarind. The crude extract were obtained and were screened for the presence of Phytochemicals, in order to identify the therapeutic potential of the plant. The result ...
Nutritional composition of processed and unprocessed samples of unripe plantain (musa*paradisiaca)
Abstract People usually think food processing bring about reduction in food nutrients as well as the quantity because few quantities must have been lost or wasted during processing, many said food processing affect the taste and color of the food when compared to its whole form. Meanwhile, food processing which also includes its preparation makes food last longer than when in its whole form (increases its shelf life), although its positive effects are numerous but its negative effects canno...
