ABSTRACT In the for anti microbial effect the back peel of Persea americana (AVACADO) was investigated for activities . the study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the crude ethanolic and aqueous extract of the peel of Persea americana against selected clinical isolates. The agar well diffusion method was used in study also phytochemical screening was conducted on the plant which revealed the presences of saponin, carbohydrates, tannins the present invention relates to e...
Abstract The study investigated the spectral index of components of Compact Steep Spectrum sources (CSSs). The purpose of the study was to determine the symmetric nature of the CSSs. A sample of the CSS sources which is made up of 8 galaxies and 4 quasars was taken from the Extra Galactic Zoo for observation. These sources were observed at frequency ranges from 1.4-8.4 GHz. The spectral index of the Jet side and the Counter-Jet side lobes were estimated and their means were obtained. The ...
ABSTRACT The roots and seeds of Moringa oleifera were analysed for their nutritional, antinutritional and antimicrobial activities on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus fecalis, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Quantitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of 0.57% and 1.17% oxalates, 4.02% and 2.66% phytic acid, 1.92% and 3.99% alkaloid, 65.47 mg/100 g and 109.12 mg/100 g tanins for the roots and seeds respectively. Proximate a...
ABSTRACT Finite deformation of Elastic rotating solid spheres of blatz-ko material are studied in this research work. The analysis resulted into non-linear boundary value problem governed by non-linear partial differential equations for the displacements. An asymptotic method of solution is employed for the solution of equations. The method assumes a trial solution for the displacements in a particular space. Here, the Sobolev space of order two is used. The resulting error is minimized in...
ABSTRACT In this study, the appropriate technology for processing three indigenous spices for enhancement of their quality and flavour retention was investigated. Some freshly harvested fruits of Tetrapleura tetraptera (oshorisho), Xylopia aethiopica (uda) and Piper nigrum (uziza) were processed in ground and liquid forms, and packaged and stored in plastic cans, high density polyethylene and metal cans for six months. The samples were analysed for some non – sensory quality attribu...
ABSTRACT Hydro-Geo-electrical study of subsurface geology of Item area, South-eastern Nigeria has been carried out involving twenty-four Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) of which the schlumberger electrode configuration was employed for the field data acquisition. A maximum of half the current electrode separation (AB/2) of 1000m was used. The VES data were interpreted using conventional partial curve matching method to obtain initial model parameters while the computer iterative modell...
ABSTRACT The efficiency of oil remediation of crude oil contaminated soils was analyzed in this work. Factors such as (a) volume of oil spilled, (b) volume of detergent used (c) weight of soil and (d) contact time between oil and soil were isolated for their effect on efficiency. The result shows that the efficiency of remediation by detergent leaching of soil is a function of the following parameters, volume of detergent used, weight of soil and contact time. As expected, plots of volum...
ABSTRACT An integrated structural interpretation of part of the Calabar Flank and environs was carried out using high resolution aeromagnetic (HRAM) and Landsat-ETM+ data to study magnetic basement depth, structure and tectonics of the study area. It is believed that result of this study will help in making far reaching inferences of the hydrocarbon and geothermal potentials of the study area. Several image processing and analytical techniques were applied to both the aeromagnetic and Lan...
Currently, there is a growing interest in the consumption of probiotic foods due to their reported health benefits. In developed countries, probiotics have been extensively studied and this has led to the production of a variety of probiotic foods especially with dairy milk. However, the use of beverages from plant materials as a potential carrier of probiotic microorganisms is receiving increasing attention. Various indigenous fermented foods containing probiotic bacteria have been part of l...
Summary Functional properties, amino acid compositions, in vitro protein digestibility, electrophoretic and thermal characteristics of conophor defatted flour (CDF), conophor protein concentrate (CPC), isoelectric protein isolate (CII) and neutral protein isolate (CNI) were evaluated. The isolates (CII and CNI) showed significantly lower (P < 0.05) water and oil absorption capacities, emulsifying and gelling capacities, but higher emulsion stability and foaming capacity. In vitro protein dige...
Abstract: The physical, thermal and pasting properties of “gari”, a fermented and toasted cassava granule, enriched with 10% full fat soy-melon protein supplements, at different processing stages, were studied. The stages at which the gari meal was enriched were: after fermentation but before toasting (PRT, soak-mix method) and after toasting (AFT, dry-mix method). Based on the result of the analysis of the physical properties, the swelling index of the samples decreased from 3.79 for the...
Abstract Traditional complementary foods based on cereals have inadequate nutrients required by infants. This study developed a co- fermentation process of maize (50%), cowpea, (30%) and sweet potato (20%w/w) to produce a complementary food for infants. The control was fermented whole grain maize. Gruel of fermented cereal is called ‘ogi’ in Yoruba native language of south-west Nigeria. Analyses of proximate composition, minerals, amino acids and ß-carotene contents were done using stand...
