Fish is a major source of protein and its harvesting, handling, processing and distribution provide livelihood for millions of people. This research was done to estimate the microbial quality of solar dried tilapia upon the application of common salt and liquid smoke with different concentrations. Low records of microbial load were determined for each of the fish sample. From the results it was clearly determined that fresh dried fish had a microbial load of 10(1:10), 8(1:100) and 5(1:1000), dry fish with 100g Sodium Chlorine (NaCl) and 0mL liquid smoke had a microbial load of 21(1:10), 12(1:100) and 7(1:1000). The combined use of common salt and liquid smoke to process fish had reduction in the moisture content of the final product which significantly reduced the microbial load of the final product. Preservation and processing therefore become a very important part of commercial fisheries. This study is important because it provide information that will guide Fisheries managers to allow for more adaptation to new and easy methods of Processing fish products.","PeriodicalId":23662,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90865133","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}

Seedlings of the plants were grown in growing material and watered with tap water containing malachite green at the concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 2, 10, and 20 mg/L for 21 days. At harvest, number of leaf and shoot and root dry weight of all plants were measured. For both species, biomass values of treated plants were similar to the control (dry weight were 0.6-1.0 and 1.1-1.7 g/plant for B. chinensis and I. aquatica, respectively) and B. chinensis was more sensitive to contaminant compared to I. aquatica. There was no sign of MG and leucomalachite green detected in root and shoot tissues of plants treated with MG at 20 mg/L, tested by TLC. After plant harvest, toxicity of the growing material was tested on mung beans. Percent germination (83-97%), seedling fresh weight (0.3-0.5 g/plant), and shoot length (11-12.5 cm) were similar to the control indicating that contaminant in growing material did not pose detrimental effect on mung beans. Based on these results, the water contaminated with low concentration of MG may serve as fertirrigation water to compensate water shortage.

The most important problem of cashew nut processing industry is that is processing and packaging. Deficient processing reduce the quality of cashew kernel, the main problem is from the broken nuts which has lower price in market than entire cashew kernel and are not eligible for export. Cashew nut processing technology and packaging are the most important aspects that affect on nutrition value of cashew-nut. In order to protect nutrition content processing and packaging need to be taken care of it. India could maintain its monopoly in world cashew marker for long period of time by improving cashew nut processing and packaging technology. By doing this it will also contribute into food security.","PeriodicalId":23662,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87280943","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}

This paper aims to investigate the impact of the National Agricultural Input Subsidy (NAIVS) on small-scale farmers in Tanzania particularly, for household food security, while investigating if the programme had any differential impact on female-headed households. On examining the general impact of the NAIVS on small-scale farmers, it is clear that the programme did affect food-security at the household level. Literacy also had a significant impact on household food-security and in terms of production. In terms of the specific impact of the programme on female-headed households, beneficiary female-headed households preferred spending more on education, birth control and family planning.They were also more food-secure and consumed more meals on an average, while the non-beneficiary households preferred spending more on food -- suggesting a lack of food self-sufficiency. However this cannot be attributed the input subsidy alone and needs further research. This paper aims to inform policy-making around agricultural input subsidies and its impacts on female headed households.","PeriodicalId":23662,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75501674","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}
