Abstract Ethiopia has huge potential for beekeeping because of its endowment with diversity in climate and vegetation resources that potentially favor beekeeping. The gap in honey marketing is the main problem though Gera district is known for its high production of honey. Thus, this research attempted to analyze determinants of honey marketed surplus in Gera district of Oromia regional state. Multi stage sampling procedure was employed to draw sample of 139 honey producers. Descriptive statistics was used for characterizing farmers and econometrics analysis was used for identifying factors affecting honey marketed surplus. The two-stage least square regression model results showed that quantity of honey produced, family size, type of beehive used, beekeeping experience, distance to nearest market, frequency of extension contact and sex of the house hold head significantly affected honey marketed surplus. The study findings suggest that improving the input supply system, improving beekeeper’s knowledge, encouraging adult education, improving production of honey, expanding accessibility of market infrastructure and strengthening supportive institutions.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72988994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Injera is a staple food for Ethiopian and it is fermented, sour leavened pancake-like bread made from blending of different cereals like tef, barley, sorghum, maize and wheat. Besides, there are limited studies on formulating of injera from composite flour with legumes (lupine). The effect of two factors two lupine varieties (Australian sweet lupine and Dibettered lupine seed) and blending ratios (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 17.5 and 20). Maximum and minimum levels of independent variables were first investigated by doing a preliminary analysis and founded that tef from up to80-100% and lupines from up to 0-20%. Response surface methodology was applied to find the formulations and predictive model. Sensory acceptance of tef-lupine injera was affected by interaction of varieties and blending ratios. Oil absorption capacity and swelling power properties of composite flour decrease as blending ratio of lupines increased and water absorption and foaming capacity increased as blending ratio of lupines increases for both varieties. As the sensory acceptability scores data indicated for both lupine varieties blended with tef for the production of injeras of up to 15% lupines almost all sensory attributes showed higher scores without significantly different among them but after 15% lupine addition there were observed drop of the sensory acceptability scores. In a 7 point hedonic scale, the composite sample tef injeras with 10% dibettered lupine seed variety addition had the highest scores of 6.09, 6.22, 6.09 and 6.18 in eye size, aroma, rollability and overall acceptability respectively. The L* value and number of eye by injera eye software were 72.77 to 79.84 and 14220.43 to 18929.33, respectively. The L values of blended injera increased as lupine proportion were increased, but the number of injeras eyes decreased. yellowness (b) colour of the product. This effect was expected because of the more intense yellow colour of lupine flour. These results agree with those obtained by Dodok et al . (1993), who observed that Lupine seeds contain high levels of carotenoids and zeaxanthin which give the cotyledon (kernel) bright yellow colour and triggered the change in the yellowish colour of bread produced from a composite flour of wheat and lupine.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80588049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the field experiment, 11 parameters were measured among which Striga count emerged on each genotype was the indicator of resistance genotypes. Genotypes differed significantly in all measured parameters in their reactions to Striga. Genotypes 2006 MW 6044, ETSC 300003, ETSC 300081, 05 MW 6019, and ETSC 300080 showed Striga resistance in the field. Thus, these genotypes were the most promising sources of resistance to S. hermonthica. From field experiments, it could be suggested that genetic variability for resistance and tolerance is available in a range of genotypes, which could be used for future breeding and production in Striga infested areas.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89131219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malnutrition at the early stages of life can lower child resistance to infections, increase child morbidity and mortality, and decrease mental and cognitive achievement. Worldwide the most important step in the treatment of protein energy malnutrition is to correct nutritional imbalances. Increasing the amount of protein in cereal staple foods is the ideal solutions to problem related to malnutrition. Several studies reported that, increased protein content in soybean fortified cereals and tubers, which makes significant contribution towards the alleviation of protein-energy malnutrition. Soybean can be utilized mainly as fermented (e.g., sauce, miso, natto) and non-fermented (e.g., oil, milk, tofu, flour) foods.

Wheat biscuits were made for diabetic and health conscious individuals by incorporation of bitter melon extract at different levels such as 0%, 3% and 5% as sample A (control), B and C respectively. Sensory properties of the bitter melon biscuits were ranked above acceptable range by panel of judges; however, the biscuit with 100% wheat was far ranked highest in colour, texture, taste, flavour, and general acceptability. There was significance difference (p ≤ 0.05) among the three samples. The acceptability of sample A was 8.70 while sample B and C were 7.10 and 6.40. The proximate composition showed that there was significnt difference (p ≤ 0.05) among the three samples in all the parameters analysed. The incorporation of bitter melon powder into the biscuits increased the ash content from 1.21 to 1.42%, fat content from 1.61 to 1.72%, protein from 2.37 to 2.49%. On the other hand, the crude fibre and carbohydrate were decreased significantly. This could be that the bitter melon biscuit reduced the high carbohydrate content to a low content from 87.16% to 84.17%. The phytochemical content increased as more bitter melon powder was incorporated into the biscuits and there was significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) among the samples.
