  • The Glycemic Index and Load of Different Nigerian Food Forms
    International Research Journal of Biochemistry and Bioinformatics (ISSN-2250-9941) Vol. 7(1) pp. 001-011, March, 2017 DOI: http:/dx.doi.org/10.14303/irjbb.2017.010 Available online http://www.interesjournals.org/IRJBB Copyright © 2017 International Research Journals Full Length Research Paper The glycemic index and load of different Nigerian food forms Evans Egwim C and Gajere Y. Department Of Biochemistry Federal University Of Technology, Minna Niger State Nigeria Corresponding Author E-mail:- [email protected] Phone no: - +2347065809474, +2348065620363 ABSTRACT The knowledge of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of foods is essential for rational advice on calorie recommendation. Unfortunately, the GI and GL of many Nigerian food forms is not known and so the present study was designed to classify 30 Nigerian food forms into low, moderate and high glycemic loads (HGL). Eighteen (18) human volunteers, aged 16-24 years with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 22.59±1.51kg/m 2 were recruited and were separated into different groups to consume the test food forms consisting of 50g available carbohydrate (CHO) from different Nigerian food forms. Fasting blood glucose of the subjects was evaluated using Accu-chek active glucometer. The area under curve (AUC), GI and GL for the different food forms were calculated. The outcome of the analysis showed that 26.67% of the 30 Nigerian food forms are high GL food, 53.33% are moderate GL and 20.00% are low GL foods. Keywords: glycemic load, glycemic index, Carbohydrate, incremental area, glucose. INTRODUCTION The concept of glycemic index (GI) was introduced as a Low-GI CHO is the CHO that is digested and means of classifying different sources of carbohydrates absorbed slowly and led to a low glycemic response, (CHO) and CHO-rich diets.

  • The Genre of Food Culture in My Life by Aderonke
    The Genre of Food Culture in My Life By Aderonke Ayoknmbi Aderonke attended my English 1301 course during the summer of 2016 and it was clear from the start that she is a dedicated student and hard-working writer. On numerous occasions, she visited during office hours so we could plan and discuss her various assignments. Though she has not taken a class with me in some time, Aderonke continues to stop by my office, update me on her life, and ask for my input related to her writing. She is a wonderful, enthusiastic, and positive person and her energy is infectious both inside and outside of the classroom. Her personality becomes part of her papers, and she shares a bit of her family and life histories in the assignment that investigates food culture. Aderonke chose to compare and contrast her parents’ food practices as well as the influences from her time in Canada and in the US. She was open to the revision process at various points and her work reveals that dedication and commitment. ---English Professor Erin Ranft Food culture is made up of the different foods, types of ingredients, serving habits, preparation, cultural influences and methods of consumption which make up a person’s life. When asked what our food culture is, we may hesitate and say we don’t know, but according to Richard Wilk, an anthropology professor at the University of Indiana and the head of its food studies program, '"The first social experience we have is being put to the breast or bottle,,,” (qtd in Choi).

  • 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.

Myke-Mbata, Email: [email protected] : https://doi.org/10.46912/wjmbs.41 ABSTRACT Starchy dough food is the most commonly consumed food in Nigeria. However, the recent disease epidemiological changes from communicable to non-communicable diseases, has implicated changes in occupational choice from farming to sedentary works and consumption of predominantly dough starchy food as a notable culpable cause. Hence, this study examined the glycaemic impact of the commonly eaten staple starchy foods in Nigerian subjects. Therefore the study aims to determine glycaemic Index of commonly eaten dough foods on healthy subjects and diabetics. This was a cross-sectional study carried out on 16 healthy staff and diabetic patients from Benue State University Teaching Hospital. Each participant ingested food products (pounded yam, amala, fufu and garri) (equivalent of 50g glucose) and 50 g of reference meal. Samples were taken for blood glucose at intervals of0, 30, 60, 90,120 mins. The area under curve was determined using trapezoid method for different time intervals. The sum of area under curve for each test food was divided by the sum of area under curve for standard glucose and multiplied by 100 to determine the glycaemic index of the food products respectively.

E-mail: [email protected] (*Corresponding Author) Abstract: Field experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso to evaluate pre-emergence herbicides for weed Control and effects on the drawing quality of Corchorusolitoriusin a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The treatments were metolachlor, pendimethalin and a mixture of the two herbicides in the ratio 1:1. A control to which no herbicide was added was included as the 4th treatment. Result showed that the growth and yield parameters of Corchorusolitoriusacross the treatment and control were not significantly different (P=0.05) at different growth periods. However, the highest vegetative yield (1.55kg/m2) was obtained under pendimethalin when compared with other herbicide treatments and control. There was a significant (p=0.05) difference in weed control effectiveness of the herbicides compared to the control though there was no significant difference across the herbicide treatments at 4 week after planting. The drawing quality of C. olitoriuswas significantly affected (P=0.05) by the treatments. The herbicides enhanced this characteristic compared to the control. Drawing quality followed the order: pendimethalin>metolachlor> mixture>control. Keywords: Corchorusolitorius, weeds, Pendimethalin, Metolachlor, Drawing quality. INTRODUCTION Jute mallow (Corchorusolitorius) is one of the popular tropical leaf vegetables in Africa, Asia and some part of the Middle East.

SPECIES 1*Osawaru, M. E., Ogwu, M. C.,2 Chime, A.O. 3 and Amorighoye, A. R.4 1-4Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, University of Benin, Benin City * Correspondence author ABSTRACT Vegetative characters and protein profiles of three accessions of Corchorus species were investigated at the experimental plot of the Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology, University of Benin, Benin City and the Biotechnology Laboratory, University of Agriculture Abeokuta respectively. Corchorus seeds labeled NHCO3, NHCO25 and NHCO26 were obtained from Nigerian Institute of Horticulture (NIHORT), Ibadan. The morphological evaluation was conducted by studying leaf shapes, leaf margin, leaf base, leaf apex, venation, leaf color, leaf texture, plant height, branching, stem type, stem pubescence and stem color. Results show that leaf margin was the most important in distinguishing cultivated Corchorus species. Plant height varied from 16.00 – 68.40 cm for NHCO25, 16.40 – 63.60 cm for NHCO3 and 16.10 – 69.50 cm in NHCO26. Protein profiling was done through SDS-PAGE. No band was shown, signifying that the three accessions are likely to be related. It is suggested from this study that foliar characters are more important in characterizing Nigerian Corchorus species. Keywords: Vegetative characters, SDS-PAGE, Corchorus accessions INTRODUCTION It is of high socio-economic importance Corchorus L.

THE CASE FOR INDIGENOUS WEST AFRICAN FOOD CULTURE by Ifeyironwa Francisca Smith (Ph.D) DAKAR, 1995 Optical Character Recognition (OCR) document. WARNING! Spelling errors might subsist. In order to access to the original document in image form, click on "Original" button on 1st page. 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.

    CLASSIC NIGERIAN FOOD RECIPES This ebook is an Intellectual Property of Michael Toye Faleti © All rights reserved The content of this ebook is not warranted for correctness, and is used by the reader at his/her own will. No other warranty is given for using the content of this ebook. 1 INTRODUCTION This ebook is written as a guide to learning how to cook Nigerian foods. You will find fifteen main recipes of some of the most popular dishes enjoyed all across southern Nigeria. So why make an ebook about Nigerian food recipes? Firstly, I love Nigerian foods. I think Nigerian cuisine has penerated a lot of cultures across the world and many people are becoming more curious of African cuisine in general. However, this ebook is for women and maybe men who are Nigerians or have been influenced by the culture through marriage, family or friendship to broaden their knowledge about Nigerian cuisine and develop their confidence in the kitchen. And most importantly for the young women starting out wanting to become better skilled at the Nigerian culinary arts. If you are Yoruba and have always wanted to learn how to cook Ibo food then there are plenty of Ibo food recipes here to get you started. Or maybe you learned to cook Nigerian foods in countries like the U.S, Great Britain, South Africa or elsewhere and want to improve on the recipes you know or learn some new ones. This ebook will take your cooking to the next level by extending the range of Nigerian foods you can cook and teach you how to combine native ingredients to get the most authentic flavour and taste.

  • Nigerian Migrants in Belgium
    EUROPEAN FOOD ISSUES This book examines the connection between food and identity in the Nigerian diaspora community in Belgium. Encounters between people from different cultures do not lead to a simple adaptation of the diet, but usually give rise to some kind of fusion of new and indigenous food habits. The author questions the relationship between what Nigerian migrants in the diaspora Maureen Duru eat, their self-perception and how they engage with outsiders. Starting with a historical introduction about the country, this study examines what aspects of the Nigerian food culture is retained and what has changed. This is refl ected by the dynamics in the Nigerian homes, especially the gender roles. The new generation of Nigerians, who see Belgium as home, also hang on to a Nigerian diet that remains not only an important part of who they are, but is also used in the creation of cultural boundaries and group identities. However, the infl uence of the new environment is very present because each diaspora community, wherever and whenever, must adapt. Skills such as language and social norms are indeed necessary to survive in the new environment. Yet, food plays a prominent role: on the one hand, it contributes to the affi rmation of Nigerian feelings, and on the other hand, food serves as a means of communication with the host country. Diaspora, Food and Identity Nigerian Migrants in Belgium EUROPEAN FOOD ISSUES Food and Identity: Nigerian Migrants in Belgium Diaspora, Maureen Duru obtained her doctorate degree in History from the Vrije Universiteit Brussels (VUB), with a higher distinction.
