Application of machine learning approach for iron deficiency anaemia detection in children using conjunctiva images
Iron deficiency is commonly referred to as anaemia which is a general public health problem that normally occurs as a result of a reduction in red blood cells which is common in developing countries such as Africa. In this study, machine learning…
Application of Macrobenthic Faunal Indices in Assesssing the Ecological Quality Status of Laloi Lagoon of Ghana
The aim of this study was to assess the macrobenthic fauna structure and use its indices as a tool for characterizing the ecological state of the Laloi lagoon. Thus, a field assessment of the benthos in the Laloi lagoon was carried in January 2012.…
Application of multiple component constraint mixture design for studying the effect of ingredient variations on the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of soy …
Investigations were conducted employing a three-component constrained mixture design to formulate milk blends from soy milk, peanut milk and cow milk. Variations in chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of 10-soy-peanut-cow milk (SPCM)…
Application of response surface methodology for optimizing the pre-processing conditions of bambara groundnut (Voandzei subterranea) during canning
Bambara groundnut (Voandzei subterranea) seeds were canned with the objective of investigating the optimal pre-processing conditions that would yield the best quality canned product from it. Pre-canning procedures such as blanching time, soaking time…
Application of response surface methodology for studying the influence of soaking, blanching and sodium hexametaphosphate salt concentration on some biochemical and physical characteristics of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) during canning
Response surface methodology and central composite design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of blanching time (0–12 min), soaking time (0–24 h) and sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaPO3)6] salt concentration (0–1%) on moisture, ash, leached…
Application of response surface methodology for studying the product characteristics of extruded rice-cowpea-groundnut...
Response surface methodology (with central composite rotatable design for k0/3) was used to investigate the product properties of extruded riceÁ/cowpeaÁ/groundnut blends in a single screw extruder. The combined effect of cowpea (0Á/20%), groundnut…
Application of response surface methodology for studying the product characteristics of extruded rice–cowpea–groundnut blends
Response surface methodology (with central composite rotatable design for k=3) was used to investigate the product properties of extruded rice–cowpea–groundnut blends in a single screw extruder. The combined effect of cowpea (0–20%), groundnut…
Application of response surface methodology for studying the quality characteristics of cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize
Studies were conducted on the chemical and functional properties of fermented cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize using response surface methodology. The central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of lime…
