Response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=2 was employed to analyze the combined effect of sugar concentration and acid balancing on the soluble solids, refractive index, water insoluble solids total acidity and pH of…

Information is useful for enhancing the success of export firms operating on the advantaged and
disadvantaged end of the global digital divide; in developed and developing economy contexts. As part of
a larger e-readiness survey of Ghana’s…

This work characterized two local and seven improved Cassava Mosaic Disease [CMD]-tolerant cassava varieties for their biochemical composition and viscoelastic (pasting) properties. The biochemical composition and starch pasting properties were…

Prior to chocolate processing, cacao beans have to be fermented and roasted. The fermentation and roasting process influences the characteristics of cocoa beans which further affects the characteristics of chocolate. This study aimed to examine the…

The extent to which roasting of depulped cocoa beans at varied roasting intensities influences the total polyphenolic content, total flavonoid content, and DPPH scavenging capacity of cocoa liquor remains underexplored. This study investigated the…

Purpose – This paper, grounded on social capital and social networking theory, examines how postgraduate

Design/methodology/approach – Following a qualitative…

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…

This chapter provides case illustrations at the sub-regional creative hubs from East to West, and North to South Africa. Starting off with a broad overview of creative hubs – notably African Tech Hubs, and how they have been at the forefront of…

This chapter aims to provide an understanding of the factors that serve as catalysts for social media adoption by public sector firms in Africa. Using the Technology Organisation Environment (TOE) framework, this chapter explains how social media…

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,…
