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). -

Waste Jute Based Smart Irrigation System
WASTE JUTE BASED SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM Nitish Kumar Singh1, Ankur Kumar2 , Prateek Kumar Dubey3, Niraj Singh4, Praveen Gupta5 13456Student, Buddha institute of Technology,(Gkp, U.P., INDIA) 2Asst.Prof, Buddha institute of Technology,(Gkp, U.P., INDIA) ABSTRACT We have bought up a solution to reduce the soil temperature and improve the soil moisture ,growth and health ultimately reducing drought conditions to some extent .Jute has an excellent water absorption capacity which is 400 to 500% of its dry weight. Being a natural fibre, it does not cause any kind of harm to the soil .Instead it acts as a natural fertilizers after its degradation in the soil .So the use of jute will absorb the rainwater and hold it under the soil keeping the soil cooler and improving the crops growth .Thus at some extent it will help to reduce the extreme drought conditions in some places in India and help the farmers. A very simple way to implement at least cost will never be a problem to the farmers .Being cheap , easy to implement and efficient is the core idea of the solution to the problem. This will tentatively reduce the growing food prices , anti-bio-hazards medium , and remove further causing problems in the chain . Keyword:- Degradation, Fertilizers, Extreme, Tentatively, Anti-bio hazards 1. INTRODUCTION Irrigation is the process of applying water to the crops artificially to fulfil their water requirements. Nutrients may also be provided to the crops through irrigation. The various sources of water for irrigation are wells, ponds, lakes, canals, tube-wells and even dams. -

Susan Lester
Susan Lester THE KEEPER In the beginning, the keeper had four chickens - gangly adolescent hens purchased from a Georgia Feed store just outside of Waycross: two reds, one black and a white that the keeper called Blanka. The birds still bore bits of baby fluff on their heads and bellies. Blanka was a bossy one, always pushing for privilege, snatching food from the other chickens' beaks or butt- ing them off the food dish. First to leave the coop in the morning and first to return to roost at night, she was also first to lay an egg - that small beige wonder the keeper had been waiting for. He felt uneasy taking it from her, uneasy eating it and tasting what issued from a chicken's womb. It wasn't that he'd never eaten eggs before - just that he'd never thought about what he was eating, and that ignorance unsettled him now like a blind spot in the eye. The hens moved as a unit across the Georgia yard, following one another like the sol- diers in Afghanistan where an explosion had taken off the keeper's leg below the knee. He wore a prosthesis now. "Learning to walk the second time around was harder than learning to play the guitar," he told the feed store attendant, a wide, buxom woman with a chihuahua buttoned in her jacket like a heart. "Which leg did you lose?" she asked him without apparent reticence or sympathy. "Left one," he said. He'd hoped she would ask about the guitar, at which he'd become adept, accompanying his voice on gospel and bluegrass - I am weak but Thou art strong - but she didn't. -

Email: [email protected] Received on: 15.10.2016 Accepted on: 22.11.2016 Abstract Concrete curing is one of the most important processes in achieving the desired properties of the concrete. Self curing concrete would be able to cure on its own without having to provide additional water. An attempt has been made in this study to provide the advantages and benefits of using fibre reinforced concrete. In this experimental study, the properties of self-curing recronfibre reinforced Concrete were studied. Three different concrete grades were considered for the study namely M20, M25 and M30. For each Grade of concrete, four different types of specimens were casted. Experimental result shows that Strength of Self Curing Concrete is reduced by 10% when compared with water curing concrete. At the same time, the strength of recron Fiber concrete is increased by 25% when compared with normal concrete. Introduction Concrete curing is one of the most important processes in achieving the desired properties of the concrete. The test cubes of any particular mix will be immersed in water till the day of testing. This is done in order to promote the hydration process of the concrete. The initial mixing water used to make concrete will not be sufficient to bring out the full performance of the concrete. -
