Raw groundnut seeds were processed traditionally into a paste (butter) and Aframomum danielli powder was added at the concentration levels of 0.20%, 0.40% and 0.60% and labeled as samples B, C and D, respectively while sample A (without Aframomum danielli powder) was prepared as control. The samples were stored at ambient temperature and evaluated at 1, 10 and 20 days for proximate composition, peroxide value, microbial and sensory properties. The moisture and crude protein content increased with increase in concentration of Aframomum danielli powder on day 1 and decreased on day 10 and 20 with sample D having the least values. Crude fat and crude fibre content increased significantly (p<0.05) as the concentration increased but decreased as storage day increased, with sample D having the highest value. Increase in A. danielli powder also increased the ash content of the treated samples and decreased the carbohydrate content. Peroxide value decreased with increase in concentrations with sample D having the least peroxide value. Bacterial and fungal count decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the concentration increased, with sample D having the least microbial count. All the samples were judges as acceptable but sample D was most preferred. A. danielli when used at 0.60% is more effective as a natural preservative in groundnut butter without objectionable attributes in sensory properties.","PeriodicalId":345337,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Food Processing & Technology","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124927164","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}

Twenty-three components were identified by using gas chromatography (GC) and GC coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The chemical composition was dominated by the presence of piperitenone oxide, in both essential oils obtained from fresh and sun dried mentha leaves.

The crude protein (CP) of oats allows covering the maintenance, pregnancy, or lactation requirements. For the case of barley, the productivity was 35.3 t ha-1 of fresh matter (FM) or 9.4 t ha-1 of dry matter (DM) and 0.8 t ha-1 of crude protein (CP) allowing a milk production of 8 kg cow-1 day-1. Regarding associations, the association of oat variety Tayko and vetch in a ratio of 75:25 performed better than other associations, resulting in a production of 58.5 t ha-1 of FM or 16.3 t ha-1 of DM and 0.76 t ha-1 of CP. The association of oat variety Mantaro 15 and vetch in a ratio of 50:50 (7.43% CP) enables milk production of 5.5 kg cow-1 day-1.

However, these two drying practices produce varying quality of dried products which may not be good all for the various end users. The quality of dried products depends on factors like cassava chip size, drying technology, temperature, air flow and relative humidity. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of cassava sun drying on a raised platform and drying in a direct passive solar dryer. The two drying technologies were assessed basing on drying rate and product quality of cassava using a randomized complete block design experiment. The measurements considered for drying rate and quality assessment were drying time, moisture content, pH, peak viscosity, starch content and microbial contamination in terms of Total plate count (TPC), Total coliforms (TC) and Yeast and moulds (YM). Results showed that samples dried on the raised platform had higher drying rates than those dried in solar dryer. Additionally, Cassava samples dried on the raised platform showed superior quality in terms of microbial contamination compared to samples dried in the solar dryer.","PeriodicalId":345337,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Food Processing & Technology","volume":"407 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126683664","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}

Crop residue is the second main livestock feed resource, followed by natural pasture in Ethiopia, which has poor nutritive values. Nutrient composition of plant materials/crop residue depends on the nutrient availability of the soil, while nutrient availability of the soils depends on the nature of soils, season, climate, the topography of the land, interaction between animals and humans, time/period of sampling and application of inorganic fertilizers. Trace minerals deficiency of grazing land causes different effects on livestock and the plants themselves.

On the other hand, some countries or provinces have introduced legislation to protect good quality farmland, e.g. the Provinces of Québec and British Columbia in Canada, thereby drawing upon a higher level of government.
