  • Functional and Pasting Properties of Products Of
    1 Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences Onyeneke, Esther-Ben Volume 17 Number 1, April 2019 pp 1 - 17 . FUNCTIONAL AND PASTING PROPERTIES OF PRODUCTS OF WHITE AND YELLOW CASSAVA Onyeneke, Esther-Ben Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Science, Imo State University Email: estyninika@ gmail.com ABSTRACT This study evaluated the pasting properties of selected products; fufu, garri and tapioca made from yellow cassava (Manihot utilisima Crantz) and white cassava (Manihot dulcis Crantz) products. The cassava products were obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, Abia State and was processed in food science and technology and nutrition and dietetics laborstory, Imo state university. The functional and pasting result showed that among the studied finished cassava products, the fermented cassava flour had the highest water absorption capacity (WAC) 4.4g/g as compared to values of 3.75g/g for garri and 2.85g/g for tapioca.The water absorption capacities of the white cassava products were in the range of 2.79±0.01to 4.34±0.14g/g with white cassava tapioca having the least value (2.79±0.0g/g) and the white cassava flour having the highest value (4.34±0.14). Some significant differences (p<0.05) existed between the water absorption capacities value of the match pairs (similar products) of white and yellow cassava varieties, with the exception of the garri samples. The oil absorption capacities (OAC) of the yellow cassava products were in the range of 1.94±0.03 to 2.91±0.01g/g with yellow cassava tapioca having the least value (1.94±0.03g/g) e and the yellow cassava flour having the highest value (2.91±0.01g/g).

  • Original Research Article Nutritional and Anti–Nutritional Evaluation of Garri Processed by Traditional and Instant Mechanical
    Original Research Article Nutritional and Anti–Nutritional Evaluation of Garri Processed by Traditional and Instant Mechanical Methods ABSTRACT Aim : The aim of this study is to evaluate the nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of garri processed by traditional and instant mechanical methods. Place and Duration of Study : This study was carried out in Achara, Uturu and analyses were done at the Biochemistry and Central Laboratories of Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State between March and July, 2017. Methods : Cassava was harvested and processed in Achara area of Uturu, Abia State. For garri processed by instant mechanical method, cassava was grated and dewatered using hydraulic press and were roasted (fried) within 24 hours of harvest. For garri processed by traditional method, the grated garri was allowed to stay for 24 hours in the sack before dewatering using sticks. The dewatering process took 3 days before roasting. The nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of raw cassava mash, garri processed by traditional and instant mechanical methods were evaluated using standard methods. Results : The result of the analysis showed that garri processed by traditional method was higher in most of the nutritional factors but lower in all of the anti-nutritional factors investigated when compared with those of garri processed by instant mechanical method and raw cassava mash. Garri processed by traditional method was significantly higher in vitamin A but lower in vitamin C when compared with garri processed by instant mechanical method at p<0.05. Garri with palm oil has its cyanogenic glucoside significantly reduced when compared with garri without palm oil at p<0.05.

  • Nigerian Traditional Food System and Nutrition Security
    NIGERIANNIGERIAN TRADITIONALTRADITIONAL FOODFOOD SYSTEMSYSTEM ANDAND NUTRITIONNUTRITION SECURITYSECURITY PROF. IGNATIUS ONIMAWO (PhD) BIOCHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT AMBROSE ALLI UNIVERSITY, EKPOMA, NIGERIA [email protected] President Nutrition Society of Nigeria International Scientific Symposium BIODIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABLE DIETS United Against Hunger 3-5 November 2010. INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION • Traditional food systems– refer to the human managed biophysical systems that are involved in the production, distribution and consumption of food in a particular environment. • Food systems are a natural locus for improving nutrition security in societies because agriculture is the primary employment sector for the ultra poor and because food consumes a very large share of the expenditures of the ultra poor. • The causal mechanisms underpinning the poverty trap are clearly rooted in the food system that guides their production, exchange, consumption and investment behaviours. • The most basic thing we know is that ill health, malnutrition and ultra poverty are mutually reinforcing states. • The links are multidirectional. Low real incomes are the primary cause of chronic and acute hunger • Even when food availability is adequate – low incomes impede access to sufficient and appropriate food to maintain a healthy lifestyle. • Undernutrition, including micronutrient deficiencies, is the leading risk factor for disease and death worldwide, accounting for over half the disease burden in low income countries. • Undernutrition also impedes cognitive and physical development, thereby depressing educational attainment and adult earnings. • Disease, in turn, impedes the uptake of scarce nutrients, aggravating hunger and micronutrient malnutrition problems and hurting labor productivity and earnings. • Food systems are the natural locus for developing an integrated strategy for addressing hunger, ill health and poverty jointly and thus assuring nutrition security.

  • The Resistant Starch Content of Some Cassava Based Nigerian Foods
    HOSTED BY Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Nigerian Food Journal 33 (2015) 29–34 www.elsevier.com/locate/nifoj The resistant starch content of some cassava based Nigerian foods Frank C. Ogbon, Edith N. Okafor Department of Applied Microbiology & Brewing, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria Available online 23 May 2015 Abstract The resistant starch (RS) content of some Nigerian cassava varieties and staples, “fufu”, “garri” and “abacha” processed from them were determined. Tubers of six varieties studied contained different concentrations of resistant starch, ranging from 5.70% in TMS 4(2)1425 to 7.07% in the TMS 30,572. Processing using traditional methods reduced the RS content in all cassava based foods compared with tubers from which they were processed. RS concentration was reduced by an average of 70.4% in “fufu”, 52.8% in “garri” and 35.85% in “abacha” for the four varieties of cassava tested. Cassava processing steps involving fermentation were responsible for the major reductions in concentration of RS. Steps involving cooking or frying, resulted in increase in concentrations of RS relative to other processing methods. Modifications of traditional methods of processing such as the addition of bitter leaf during retting or the addition of oil to mash during dewatering of “garri” affected RS concentrations in foods studied. Results of this work suggest that manipulation of processing methods and conditions employed during cassava processing can be used to improve RS concentration in cassava based foods, thus making them more functional. & 2015 Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities.

  • With Co-Morbid Condition on Diabetes Mellitus
    © 2021 JETIR February 2021, Volume 8, Issue 2 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) A review Comparative Interracial prevalence analysis of COVID-19 patients: With co-morbid condition On Diabetes Mellitus 1Mustapha Ibrahim Abdullahi*, 1Rakesh Das,Smranjeet Kaur, Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab Abstract: Background: The main objective of this study is to identify the impact of traditional dietary factors of both continents (Africa & India) to control COVID-19 by remarkable reductions in co morbid condition responsible for the pandemic situation. The reduction of risk factors by decreasing of morbidity and mortality of one continent will be the inspiration points of other continents, also in future for these types of pandemic infection. Methodology: As immunity is the fundamental factors to arrest the disastrous effects of this deadly virus, so more implicitly has to be focused on that with best observation data investigation. Although the assessment of the comparative interracial prevalence of COVID patients on support of comorbid condition is sharply based on the observation of various relevant data and its statistical analysis. Conclusion: Still work of observation is undergoing, the comparative data reveals the traditional diet associated with Diabetes Mellitus, a pandemic cause of COVID-19. Key-words: COVID-19, Traditional dietary components, Diabetes Mellitus, Interracial comparative data. Observational studies between Indian and African (Nigerian) population regarding COVID-19 viabilities shows remarkable diversities. These differences are purely based on the traditional dietary stimulated genetic make-up which reduces the Diabetes Mellitus incidence cases in Nigerian population comparatively. Incidence of COVID-19 could easily be controlled after following remarkable dietary habitat.

This research-based publication is, necessarily, part of the gospel of cultural industries which, for decades, UNESCO has Iaboured to spread in the world in general and, since 1985 through BREDA, in Africa in particular. Presented on 19 May 1994 as one of the events to celebrate World Culture Day in cooperation with the Government of the Republic of Senegal, its message is clear and heartening: West Africa could be self-sufficient in food production; traditional food is healthier and cheaper than imported products. In the wider world (MONDIACULT in UNESCO’s vocabulary) Mrs (Dr) Smith’s research discovery illustrates a truth which UNESCO has never failed to reiterate time and again - the constance of cultural Self-Affirmation in ALL human endeavors. In clear terms neither globalisation of industrial production nor internalisation of exchange of goods should result in a uniformation or universalisation that would negate or neutralise the self-identity of peoples expressible through their distinct, unique creative and inventive genius. Nearer home (AFRICULT) the gospel has reached the ears of African Heads of State and Governments who in their 1992 Summit in Senegal formally acknowledged the umbilical cord between Culture and Development and in particular the cultural industries to which a truly endogeneous the social, economic and cultural growth and development of the continent is inexorably linked.

    Academic Journal of Science, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6282 :: 07(02):253–268 (2017) MICROBIOLOGICAL AND SENSORY EVALUATIONS OF SELECTED PRODUCTS (GARRI, FUFU, FLOUR AND TAPIOCA) FROM WHITE AND YELLOW CASSAVA VARIETIES E.N. Onyeneke and N.C. Ohazurike Imo State University C.N. Ubbaonu Federal University of Technology Cassava also called yuca, Mogo, Manihot, mandiola and Kamoteng kotiox, a woody shrub of the euporbiaceae (spurge family), ( Manihot esculenta crantz ) is a tropical staple crop grown for its tuberous starch roots (Westby, 2002). Cassava ( Manihot escutenta) root is the most perishable of all the root and tuber crops and should never be eaten raw as the root composes of small quantities of cyanogenic glycosides (Okaka, 2004).Cassava roots generally deteriorate very quickly soon after harvest (Onwueme, 2008).Most spoilage organisms are soil or air born spores from field, harvesting and packing machinery (Frazier and West Hoff, 1991).Two cassava varieties TMS98/0505(white) and TMS05/0473 (yellow) were processed into four different products (garri, fufu, flour and tapioca) each and the microbiological and sensory evaluations of these products were evaluated. Study aimed at efficient and appropriate handling of products to promote the totality of the period within which the product is expected to retain its acceptable characteristic quality under normal condition before consumption. Methodolody : Products were analysed for organoleptic properties in wet/fresh conditions using 5point hedonic scale and randomly selected panelists to ascertain the sensory qualities, also samples were cultured for 48hr microbiological examination. Results- showed that microorganisms identified and isolated from samples include; Enterobacterspp, Staphylococcus spp, Klebsiells spp, bacillus, Lactobacillus, protuse vulgaris, Micrococcus spp for bacteria Identification while the fungi identified includes penicillum spp, Aspergillus spp, Rhizopus spp , Mucor spp .
