The Relationship between Starch Microstructure

The trifoliate yam, Dioscorea dumetorum tuber is the most nutritious among the yam species consumed. Its consumption is however constrained by a rapid post-harvest hardening phenomenon that occurs after 24 hours of harvest, rendering them unsuitable…

Effects of fermentation and cowpea fortification on the quality characteristics of maize-based nixtamalized foods

A 3 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment with fermentation time (0, 24, 48 hours), cowpea (0 and 15%) and alkaline treatment (nixtamalized and non-nixtamalized corn) was used. The blends were dried using a cabinet drier, milled into flour and spices added…

Response surface methodology for optimizing the fermentation conditions during the processing of cassava fish (Pseudotolithus sp) into Lanhouin

The response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to investigate the combined effects of ripening, salting and duration of fermentation on total viable cells (TVC) load, sodium chloride (NaCl) and histamine…

A validated HPLC–FLD method for the determination of mycotoxin levels in sun dried fermented cocoa beans: Effect of cola nut extract and powder

This study investigated mycotoxin concentrations in fermented sun-dried cocoa beans as affected by cola nut powder and cola nut extract using a 2 × 4 full factorial experimental design with treatment type (cola nut powder; cola nut extract) and…
