GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background Present food production is still sufficient to feed every world citizen adequately, although the production areas, types of plant and total production vary by region. Some parts of the world are surplus whereas the other parts are facing food supply problems. This is clear from the substantial increases in per capita food supplies achieved globally and for a large portion of population of the developing world. Nevertheless, parts of South Asia may still in difficult situation and much of the Sub-Saharan Africa will probably not be significantly better and may possibly be even worst off than at present in the absence of concerted action by all concerned (FAO 2000). It is well known that there are significant regional differences with respect to style of consumption and types of food which dictating the agricultural production practices. In general, the world has been making progress towards improved food security and nutrition. However, in the long run total food production can not keep pace with the rapid population growth. Agricultural research is fundamental in meeting the challenge of increasing food production faster then population growth. The nutritional situation of many countries in Asia and Africa is a deal worse than 20 to 30 years ago.

Abstract: This study elucidated the efficacy of in-situ (underground) storage and fermentation of American yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus) tubers on the microbial population, mineral composition and anti-nutritional properties of the flour. Seeds of American yam bean were planted in a farm at Effium, Ebonyi state, Nigeria for seven months. The fresh tubers after harvest were stored underground for the period of 3 months. Fresh and stored tubers were collected every month to produce flour for analyses. Both freshly harvested and stored tubers were washed, hand peeled, rewashed, sliced and fermented for 72 h, dried in a hot air oven (55 ºC, 6 hr), milled and sieved to obtain fermented flour. A similar procedure was repeated on the tubers, but not fermented to obtain unfermented flour.

  • Jicama Pachyrhizus Erosus Fabaceae Family
    Bryan Phillips Cultivated in Mexico and Central America since pre- Columbian times. Is thought to have originated in the Andes Mountains. In the 17th century Jicama spread to parts of Asia. Philippines > China > Indonesia> Singapore It was also used as a staple onboard ships because it stored well. It could be eaten raw and was also thirst quenching. Tubers grow underground and looks similar to a turnip on the outside. Inside is comparable to an apple. Has a crisp, white, solid flesh. Vine can reach a height of 13–16 feet. Root can reach lengths of up to 6.5 feet and weigh up to 44 pounds. Currently it is mostly cultivated in Mexico, South China and United States. Jicama is frost tender so it requires 9 months without frost for an ideal harvest. Cooler areas can still produce Jicama, but will have smaller tubers. Seeds require warm temperatures to germinate, so bottom heat is recommended. Tropical areas can sow seeds at anytime. Subtropics should sow seeds in the Spring after the soil has warmed. Can be eaten raw and is a great source of vitamin C and is fat free. Usually eaten with chili powder, cilantro, lemon or lime. In cooking it can be used as a substitute for water chestnuts in Chinese dishes. Beneficial because they absorbed the flavor of other foods very well. It also appear in different recipes for stews, juiced drinks, fruit bars and stuffings. Often compared to apples but unlike apples, jicama does not turn brown when exposed to the air after being cut.

  • Pachyrhizus Erosus) and Kefir Grains As a Synbiotic Drink on Malondialdehyde and Superoxide Dismutase Levels in the Testicles of Hyperlipidemic Rats
    The Effects of Administering Jicama Concentrate (Pachyrhizus erosus) and Kefir Grains as a Synbiotic Drink on Malondialdehyde and Superoxide Dismutase Levels in the Testicles of Hyperlipidemic Rats Mohammad Alvian Subhakti1 a, Miranti Dewi Pramaningtyas1 b, Rafik Prabowo1 c and Rokhima Lusiantari1 d 1Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Keywords: Hyperlipidemia, Pachyrhizus erosus, Kefir, Malondialdehyde, Superoxide Dismutase Abstract: Background: More than half of infertility prevalence come from men. There is a correlation between hyperlipidemia and male infertility. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are oxidative stress markers which indicate the testicular tissue damage caused by hyperlipidemia. The management of hyperlipidemia continues to develop to date, and synbiotics are potential for hyperlipidemia therapy. Objective: To examine the effects of jicama concentrate and kefir grains as a synbiotic drink on the levels of MDA and SOD of the testicles in hyperlipidemic rats. Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups and given quail egg yolk for a month. The intervention group was given a synbiotic drink at a dose of 5ml/200grBW for a month with different combinations of jicama concentrate and kefir. The levels of MDA and SOD activity were checked after intervention. Result: The results showed that the mean MDA levels (nmol/ml) were 12.30 ± 0.28 (K +), 2.83 ± 0.27 (K-), 8.43 ± 0.38 (P1), 6.34 ± 0.29 (P2), and 4.49 ± 0.25 (P3) while the mean SOD activities (%) were 32.86 ± 6.75 (K+), 82.14 ± 7.57 (K-), 43.21 ± 5.56 (P1), 62.14 ± 7.40 (P2), 70.35 ± 4.82 (P3).
