The evolution of the microbial flora, the content of reducing sugars, total polyphenols, phosphorus, potassium and titratable acidity were measured during 30 days. Microbiological analysis at the start of fermentation revealed the presence of 03 groups of pathogenic germs such as staphylococci, enterobacteria and moulds with concentrations of 3.2, 3.8 and 3.24 Log10CFU/ml respectively. We also observed the presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) which were are the most represented bacterial flora in the medium with a microbial load of 5.2Log10CFU/ml. During fermentation, enterobacteria, staphylococci and moulds respectively reached maximum values of 3.2, 3.8 and 3.2log10CFU/ml on the 7th day. However, after the 21st day, enterobacteria and mould were eliminated, unlike staphylococci which were completely inhibited only on the 28th day. The highest phosphorus and potassium contents were recorded on the 21st day with values of 0.29% and 2.5% respectively. On the 14th day, the LAB yielded much higher microbial concentration of 8.9Log10CFU/ml which also led to the optimum production of titratable acidity (1.2%) in the medium. During the same period, the sugar content increased by 2.3% and the polyphenols were eliminated at 100%. The data obtained in this work reveal the elimination of microbial growth and increasing the physicochemical qualities at the 21th day with fermentation. Thus, it would be recommended for producers to ferment it for over 21 days as result of appreciable yield in terms of microbial, organoleptic and chemical qualities.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78818534","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}

{"title":"Challenges and Opportunities of Milk Production in Urban Dairy Farms in Ethiopia: A Review","authors":"Nibo Beneberu","doi":"10.7176/jbah/10-21-01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/jbah/10-21-01","url":null,"abstract":"Ethiopia is one of the developing countries in Africa with a huge livestock population. The huge and diverse cattle populations, diverse and favorable agro-ecology for dairying, long-standing culture of dairy products consumption, increasing demand for dairy products in urban areas, potential of dairying in the country and favorable policy are indicators of dairy production. However, the production and productivity of dairy animals in general is insufficient and this results in short supply of dairy products. The main objective of this review paper is to assess the major challenges and opportunities of milk production in urban dairy farms in Ethiopia. Urban dairy farming is emerging as an important component of the milk production system based on cross breed dairy stock and purchased conserved feeds. Urban milk farming system is concentrated in and around major cities, and towns characterized by a high demand for milk and milk products. The challenges for dairying vary from one location to another or from one production system to another production system. These challenges can be technical like genotype related constraints and reproductive wastage, shortage of animal feed and water resources, shortage of land, animal health problems and non-technical constraints like institutional challenges such as inadequate extension and training services, limited availability of credit to the dairy farmer, absence of operational breeding strategy and policy, waste disposal, limited access and high cost of dairy heifers/cows. The opportunities of milk production in urban dairy farms in Ethiopia such as livestock genetic resources and production system, accesses to services, indigenous knowledge, demand for consumption of milk and milk products and income generation and employment opportunity. Dairying is constitutes an important part of the Ethiopian urban dairy sector, a careful planning of dairy policy, technical and institutional intervention and establishment of dairy processing industries are required for the generation of appropriate and demand driven technologies in order to attain sustainable dairy farm development.

Its production in Ethiopia is found to be constrained by several biotic and abiotic factors. To this end, this study was done with the objective of identifying the high yielding, biotic and abiotic resistance or tolerance varieties in 2019. A total of six varieties were evaluated in RCBD. AMMI showed that environments, varieties and their interaction effects were significantly different. The stability and high yielding ability of the varieties has been graphically depicted by the AMMI bi-plot. The variation for seed yield among the varieties for each variety was significant at different environments. Varieties G1 (Bulki), G6 (Babile2) and G4 (Werer962) were specifically adapted to high yielding environments. G2 (Shulamiz) was the most unstable variety. G1 (Bulki) was more stable in comparison to other varieties. In GGE bi-plot; IPCA 1 and IPCA 2 explained 48.07% and 25.93%, respectively, of groundnut variety by environment interaction and made a total of 74.00% of variation. Therefore, Bulki (1075kg ha -1 ) and Babile2 (1030kg ha -1 ) were most stable recommended for the study area and similar agro-ecologies and Fedis was the ideal environment for groundnut production.

The experiment was done under Holeta, Ethiopia condition since 2018. Nectarine fruits of variety ‘89-16N’ were harvested from Holeta Agricultural Research Center orchard and subjected to the combination of four CaCl 2 levels (0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5%) and three levels (0, 3 and 6%) of beeswax. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in three replications. All the treatments were stored at ambient condition. The data were collected every five days interval. The results revealed that CaCl 2 dipping and beeswax coating had positively influenced the sensory quality and shelf-life of nectarine fruits. The best results were consistently obtained from the combination of 4.5% CaCl 2 and 3.0% beeswax for most of the sensory quality attributes and storage periods. Therefore, CaCl 2 dipping and beeswax coating particularly, 4.5% CaCl 2 +3% beeswax, could be considered for maintaining the sensory quality and extending the shelf-life of nectarine fruits. This study will be contributed to the existing literature by assessing the influence of calcium chloride dipping and beeswax coating on the sensory quality and shelf life of nectarine fruits.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87180064","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}

Accordingly, the influence of tef (brown and white) flour incorporation (0 -40% tef flour) on wheat-tef blend flour physicochemical  properties, baking characteristics and bread nutritional and sensorial qualities was evaluated. Incorporation of tef flour significantly increased water absorption capacity (57.67 to 97.00%), reduced both wet gluten (29.33 to 13.89 %) and dry gluten (12.03 to 6.37 %) content of composite flour. All the tef containing bread showed better mineral content (Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Mg, K and Na), good fiber and fat content as compared to wheat flour bread. Moreover, the bread specific volume decreased from 3.80 to 2.91 and the bake loss content increased from 17.52 to 30.94 with increase in tef flour from 0 to 40% in composite blends. The sensory attributes scores of the color, aroma, odor,  texture and overall acceptability decreased.

The demand for moringa tea currently increased in Ethiopia due to its nutritional and medicinal values. However, using moringa alone is difficult due to its poor sensory appeal and adding sugar to enhance the sensory has implications for health. The purpose of this study was to optimize the sensory properties (taste and aroma) of formulated herbal teas in addition to evaluating the antioxidant properties of the formulated herbal tea from dried moringa and stevia leaves. Seven moringa-based herbal teas were brewed with stevia ranging from 0 to 35% with five-level (5) and compared for their sensory and antioxidant properties. The moringa tea infusion and commercial green tea were considered as control. The results of sensory analysis showed that herbal tea brewed with 20-35% stevia in the formulation results in  higher sweetness compared to 100%-moringa and green tea. Herbal tea brewed with 20-35% stevia in the formulation results in the highest in antioxidant (DPPH scavenging capacity, ferric reducing power and total antioxidant activities) values comparable to 100%-moringa. This study provides evidence that adding stevia to moringa improves the sensory and antioxidant properties without compromising its health-promoting compounds.

This study was carried out to screen the Phytochemical, evaluate the LD 50 and sub-chronic studies of methanol seeds extract of Nigella sativa (ASENS) in rats. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemicals were determined using standard methods. A total of twenty five rats were used for acute toxicity (LD 50 , oral, rat) and sub-chronic toxicity. For the sub-chronic toxicity twelve rats were divided into four groups of three rats each. Group I served as normal control, groups II, III, IV were administered orally with ASENS at doses of 10, 100 and 1000mg/kg body weight respectively for four weeks. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, alkaloids and flavonoids at different concentrations with cardiac glycosides having the highest. Acute toxicity study shows no sign of toxicity or mortality up to dose of 5000mg/kg while sub-chronic toxicity showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in serum liver enzymes activities (AST and ALT), serum concentration of total protein, urea, K + , and creatinine with significant increase (p<0.05) in ALP activity and serum concentrations of Na + , Cl - , and HCO - in groups II to IV in dose dependent pattern compared to the normal control. Therefore, findings showed that there are no toxic effects of ASENS on rat ’ s liver and kidneys functions indices as evidence by biochemical parameters and also it’s relatively safe at administered doses.
