  • Risk Assessment of Acrylamide for Some Commonly Eaten Fried Foods
    RISK ASSESSMENT OF ACRYLAMIDE FOR SOME Supported by COMMONLY EATEN FRIED FOODS Zainab Ajani, Oluwatoyin Tirenioluwa Fatunsin*, Aderonke Olubukola Oyeyiola and Kehinde Ololade Olayinka Department of Chemistry, University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: September 20, 2018 Accepted: January 14, 2019 Abstract: This research aims to quantify acrylamide in commonly eaten fried foods and assess the risk associated with acrylamide concentrations in them. Selected food samples (yam, sweet potato, plantain, meat, and Irish potato) purchased from Lawanson market, Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria, were fried in Soya oil at 150 ± 2oC. Samples were extracted, centrifuged, purified and analysed on an Agilent (1100 series) high performance liquid chromatograph coupled with ultraviolet detector. The chromatogram of acrylamide and internal standard gave better resolution when acidified water of pH 3.5 was used in the eluting solvent (acetonitrile: water (30:70)). Acrylamide concentrations for fried foods were between ≤ 3 and 720 µg kg-1. Sweet potatoes fried for 20 min, had the highest concentration of acrylamide while fried meat had the lowest concentration. Acrylamide concentration of sweet potatoes fries (for both 20 and 10 min) and French fries fried for 20 min exceeded the European Union bench mark value of 500 µg kg-1 for acrylamide in French fries. While the acrylamide concentration in French fries (360 µg kg- 1) fired for 10 min was less than the benchmark value. Acrylamide levels in fried plantain, yam and meat were all below the bench mark. Estimated dietary intake (EDI) study showed that children were more exposed to acrylamide risk than adult.

  • A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines
    A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Juliana Duque-Mahecha May 2017 © 2017 Juliana Duque-Mahecha A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines Juliana Duque-Mahecha, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Abstract Cooking responds to this double entendre of a past that is collected, interpreted and then projected on to a present that then overcomes it. New food trends necessarily imply questions about social and cultural equality and identity. That which is novel is exciting and refreshing; it implies learning and broadening boundaries, which are often geographical and social and always cultural. However, the process also entails the inherent challenge to define and answer what is lost and valued in a new scenario and to understand to what purpose. Some categories that have been used to understand such historical processes of cultural production in social systems are class, race, ethnicity and gender, as well as concepts associated with territory, differentiation, integration and democratization, authenticity and exoticization. My purpose in conducting an analytical approach to the development of the gastronomical and culinary subject in Colombia and of building a diagnostic map of it, responds to the wish to contribute to the understanding of the function of food research in solving specific questions of inequality, estrangement, and deracination, as well as understanding new senses of belonging and appropriation that emerge because of urban reconfigurations.

ABSTRACT There are increasing reports of food poisoning due to methods used for processing certain food items in most parts of Africa especially in Nigeria. Also, very scanty information is available on the nutritional status and microbial counts of over-ripe fried plantain (Dodo-ikire) locally produced among the indigenes of Ikire Town and sold in some parts of Western States of Nigeria. This experiment reports the proximate, minerals and microbial counts of over-ripe fried plantain as affected by vendors in three different markets in Ikire Town, Osun State, Nigeria. Samples were obtained from four vendors each in three different markets namely: Total Station Market (TSM1- TSM4), Oja Ale Market (OAM1-OAM4) and Gbongan Garage Market (GGM1-GGM4).

  • Banana and Plantain Value Chain: West Africa Josh Cauthen, Dan Jones, EPAR Brief No
    Banana and Plantain Value Chain: West Africa Josh Cauthen, Dan Jones, EPAR Brief No. 239 Mary Kay Gugerty, & C. Leigh Anderson Prepared for the Agricultural Policy Team of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Professor Leigh Anderson, Principal Investigator Associate Professor Mary Kay Gugerty, Principal Investigator August 20, 2013 West Africa is one of the major plantain-producing regions of the world, accounting for approximately 32% of worldwide production. Plantains are an important staple crop in the region with a high nutritional content, variety of preparation methods, and a production cycle that is less labor-intensive than many other crops. In addition to plantains, bananas are also grown in West Africa, but they account for only 2.3% of worldwide production. Bananas are more likely than plantains to be grown for export rather than local consumption. Major constraints to banana and plantain production include pests and disease, short shelf life, and damage during transportation. This research brief provides an overview of the banana and plantain value chains in West Africa. Because of the greater production and consumption of plantains than bananas in the region, the brief focuses on plantains and concentrates on the major plantain-producing countries of Ghana, Cameroon, and Nigeria. The brief is divided into the following sections: Key Statistics (trends in banana and plantain production, consumption, and trade since 1990), Production, Post-Harvest Practices and Challenges, Marketing Systems, and Importance (including household consumption and nutrition). West Africa Banana and Plantain Value Chain Highlights The figure below summarizes key findings along the different stages of the banana and plantain value chains in West Africa.
