Water melon (Citrullus vugaris) is a fruit grown for its thirst quenching property rather than for ant nutritional value. It consists of 92% water and 8% sugar, so it is aptly named. Its high water content makes it impracticable to use this fruit for…

Particle size distribution (PSD) and composition in dark chocolate were varied and their effects on textural properties of molten and tempered chocolates determined using a TA.HD Plus Texture Analyzer. Surface colour was evaluated in terms of CIELAB…

Phosphate and sulphate adsorption in Bungor series soil were studied using soil sample and equilibrated with 0.1 M CaCl2 containing concentrations of phosphate and sulphate of 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1200µg-1 phosphate and sulphate was…

This study investigated effects of processing technique and varietal variations on the physicofunctional, starch pasting and viscoelastic properties of cassava (Manihot Esculenta Crantz) flours using a 3x6 factorial experimental approach. Samples…

This study was designed to characterize the most cultivated and consumed yam (Dioscorea) cultivars within the Ghanaian yam germplasm based on their physico-functional properties in order to assess their potential alternative food and industrial…

Monoglycerides (MGs) and phytosterols (PS) are known to form firm oleogels with liquid oil. However, the oleogels are prone to undergo polymorphic transition over time that lead to crystals' aggregation thus, compromises physical properties. Thus, we…

The impact of pod storage (PS) and roasting temperature (RT) on the aroma profiles of dark chocolates were evaluated. Cocoa liquor samples comprised of ten different combinations of PS and RT, whilst keeping the roasting time fixed at 35 min.…

[...] a risk assessment showed that should the FTT be used instead of traditional kilns to smoke fish in Ghana, consumers will be protected from PAH public health risks related to smoked fish consumption.[...] in 2017, the International Association…

In developing countries, traditionally smoked fish are highly contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This is mainly due to the use of wood-fueled traditional kilns for processing the commodity. An improved kiln, the FAO-Thiaroye…

Consumer demand for healthier alternative sweeteners and attempts to replace the most common sweetener used in chocolate, namely sucrose, continue to increase in recent times. One sucrose alternative that has not been fully explored in chocolate is…
