The hazardous substances present in the food were qualitatively analyzed by an easy method using easy testing kits. There were four schools with no exposure to hazardous substances. In addition, rhodamine B is the most often substances added to snack foods primarily sauce, seasoning powder, and jam. The percentage of street foods containing preservatives (formalin and borax), coloring agents (rhodamine B and metanil yellow), and sweeteners (cyclamate and saccharin) is still high.

The freshly harvested soya bean seeds used for the study were cleaned and soaked for five different durations (6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 hours); cooked at five different cooking times (20, 25, 30, 35 and 40mins); packaged in five different materials (paper bag, low density polythene bag, composite bag, high density polythene bag and plastic) and stored for five different periods (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 days). A Response Surface Methodology, Central Composite Experimental Design was used. The samples of flour were then subjected to functional analysis. All experiments were carried out in triplicates. Data obtained was analyzed using Design Expert 11.0 statistical software tool; the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted and empirical models developed. Statistical analysis shows that the gelatinization duration, and packaging materials had significant effect (P≤0.05) on the oil absorption capacity of the flour sample at P-value of 0.044 for gelatinization duration, 0.012 for packaging material, and water absorption capacity of the flour samples was significant with effect to storage duration P= 0.001, packaging material of 0.015 p-value. Bulk density of the processed flour was not significantly affected by processing techniques, packaging materials and storage duration employed in this study.

This is against a background where most rural women face several gender based constraints in accessing basic livelihoods. Against this background the paper assessed the income and food security status among rural women IK based crafters and noncrafters. The study was conducted in Amathole district municipality of South Africa using a cross sectional survey targeting 82 crafters and 122 non-crafters conveniently selected based on their willingness to participate. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were employed to generate data relating to research objectives and questions. The results indicate that income from selling IK based crafts contributed 29 percent of the total household income. With reference to food security the two groups did not show any significant difference. The paper therefore concludes that IK based crafts may address rural household income for women but falls short of addressing their household food security.","PeriodicalId":131724,"journal":{"name":"ETP International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117296943","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}
