Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparative Studies on Proximate Composition and Phytochemical Screening of Mango, Key lime, African star apple and African pear Seeds as Possible Coagulant Aids for Water TreatmentAnimetu Seghosime, Johannes Akpabla Mawuli Awudza, Richard Buamah, Sampson Oduro KwartengMany fruits including mango (Mangifera indica), key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) and African or bush pear (Dacryodes edulis) are nutritionally valuable as human food, however after consumption of the fruits, their seeds are discarded as wastes since they are of no commercial value and this results in disposal problems. Hence assessment of the constituents of such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 12 Aug 2017 · 9,950 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Processing Methods on Nutrient Composition of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Reared on Slaughterhouse Waste and Rice BranNurul Isnaini, Faizal AndriBlack Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae have emerged as a sustainable and nutrient-dense resource for livestock feed, primarily due to their high protein and lipid contents. However, the nutritional composition of BSF larvae is substantially influenced by the processing methods. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of five processing methods (room dried, sun dried, oven dried, microwave dried, and roasted) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 4 Dec 2025 · 3,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMitigation of Quality Deterioration and Insect Infestation in Rice Bran During Storage Through Heat Treatment and Vacuum SealingMuhammad Ridla, Nahrowi, MaryonoRice bran is a valuable feed ingredient due to its high energy and lipid content; however, its utilization is limited by quality deterioration during storage, including physicochemical changes and insect infestation. This study evaluated the effects of vacuum sealing and heat treatment on the physical properties, chemical composition, fatty acid profile, and insect infestation of rice bran stored under ambient … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 16 May 2026 · 1,727 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nutrient Composition in Feed Supplements Used by Communal Beef Farmers During the Dry Season in Ga-Matlala, Limpopo ProvinceThapelo Rosina Monkwe, Masibonge Gxasheka, Busisiwe GunyaThis study assessed the nutrient composition of feed supplements commonly used by communal beef cattle farmers during the dry season in Limpopo Province of South Africa. A total of seven feed supplements, such as lucerne hay, maize stover, salt licks, calf grower, calf milk replacer, cattle feed pellets, and soybean meal, were sampled and analysed for proximate composition and mineral … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2026 · 1,651 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Efficient Thermal Conversion Technologies and HHV from Compositional Characteristics of Cassava Peelings, Plantain Peelings and Corn CobsSamomssa Inna, Oumarou Amadou Amadou, Jiokap Nono Yvette et al.The understanding of compositional characteristics permits to predict the efficient thermal conversion technologies and Higher Heating Value (HHV). Although HHV can be determined directly, many models have been proposed for HHV prediction. They are based on proximate, ultimate, and structural analysis and require much data collected. The present work assesses to predict efficient thermal conversion technologies and HHV of the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2022 · 10,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional and Fatty Acids Profile Analyses of Commonly Consumed Fresh Water Fish Species in PakistanAhsan Hameed, Syed Ammar Hussain, Muhammed Asim Shabbir et al.The aim of this study is to evaluate nutritional value of selected commonly consumed fresh water fish species of Pakistan. Proximate composition and fatty acids profile of mostly consumed fresh water fish species of Pakistan namely Balm or Baam (Anguilla anguilla), Sole (Channa marulius), Damra (Labeo rohita) and Malhi (Wallago atto) were analysed. Proximate composition data showed a significant difference … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2017 · 9,515 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Lignin Fraction Extracted from Brazilian Energy CropsDiogo José Horst, Jhon Jairo Ramírez Behainne, Pedro Paulo de Andrade Junior, Luís Filippe SerpeThis study quantifies the extraction performance and some properties of the lignin obtained from six crops with potential for generating thermal energy in Brazil. A full factorial design (22) with four replicates including two extraction methods and two particles size distributions was adopted for assessing the fraction of lignin, as well as its Higher Heating Value (HHV) and composition given … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2015 · 7,581 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON NIGERIAN MONODORA TENUIFOLIA SEEDEkeanyanwu Raphael Chukwuma, Njoku Obioma UzomaThe nutritive constituents of the seeds of Monodora tenuifolia were analyzed to augment the available information on Monodora tenuifolia research. Blood glucose and lipid profile were investigated on the flavonoid rich fraction of M. tenuifolia in rats. The composition (gkg-1) of alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins and flavonoids were 13.3±0.1, 21.2×10-2±0.6, 1.3±0.1, 1.7±0.1 and 11.7±1.1 respectively. The proximate composition (gkg-1) of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Composition of Dandelions and its Potential as Human FoodAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika Dave, Nesreen MahmoudTwo thirds of the world’s populations are suffering from protein malnutrition and about 36 million people die every year due to hunger. Expansion of present agriculture practices into marginal land is not expected to solve the problem of increasing the food supply. New methods of feeding the ever increasing world population must be developed. The aim of the study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,949 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: ReviewA. E. Ghaly, D. Dave, S. Budge, M. S. BrooksProblem statement: Spoilage of food products is due to chemical, enzymatic or microbial activities One-fourth of the world’s food supply and 30% of landed fish are lost through microbial activity alone. With the ever growing world population and the need to store and transport the food from one place to another where it is needed, food preservation becomes necessary in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 59,795 accessesView PDF Cite
