(2022-10-15)
The present investigation was designed to study the incidence of some enteric pathogens in table eggs with special references to E. coli O157: H7. A total of 250 table eggs samples (75 baladi hen ҆s, 75 white farm hen ҆s, 75 brown farm hen ҆s and 25 duck eggs) were collected randomly from poultry farms, groceries, supermarkets and street vendors in El Fayoum city, Egypt. Each baladi hen ҆s egg sample represented by five eggs, while each farm hen ҆s and duck eggs represented by three eggs. The samples were examined ...

Call home gardening for enhancing food in the urban area
(2022-10-25)
Food is a basic need and essential in human beings. COVID-19 pandemic challenges us from food and nutrient security, and thus resilient food system is necessary. Home gardening may improve our self-sufficiency level and have a sustainable food system to cope with the challenging situation. Between, home gardening brings many benefits to human health, including physical, mental, and social. Nevertheless, the most significant challenges of home gardening, especially in urban areas, are the substrate properties, light ...

Variation in baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) root tuber development and leaf number among different growth conditions for five provenances in Malawi
(2020-08-21)
The baobab tree is an underutilised indigenous fruit tree in sub-Saharan Africa which, at the same time is vulnerable to overexploitation in areas close to centres of demand, as currently baobab use is limited to wild, baobab trees. Baobab seedlings are known to form root tubers, but little is known about their growth characteristics and its yield potential. This study aims to investigate the root tuber and leaf development of baobab seedlings grown from seeds of five provenances, sown at three different planting ...

Remote sensing of yield and invasive species in nature conservation grasslands invaded by Lupinus polyphyllus
(2021-07)
Extensiv bewirtschaftetes Grünland und naturnahes Naturschutzgrünland sind wertvolle Bereitsteller von Ökosystemdienstleistungen und könnten eine Schlüsselrolle in zukünftigen Managementstrategien spielen zum Schutz von Arten, die durch den Klimawandel bedroht sind. Jedoch ist extensives Grünland, wie viele andere Ökosysteme, bedroht durch die Ausbreitung invasiver Arten, welche einen großen Einfluss auf den Verlust der Biodiversität haben.
Um den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu begegnen, sollten Innovationen in ...

Physico-chemical Characterization of Four Species Indonesian Mangrove Fruits as Food Source
(2022-09-30)
Carbohydrates in flour and starch are essential ingredients for the food industry, often used as a thickening, gelling, bulking, and water retention agents. In Indonesia, mangrove fruits have traditionally been used as carbohydrate source. However, studies related to the physicochemical of fruit, flour, and starch of mangrove as a food source are still minimal. This study reported the Physico-chemical characteristic of four species of Indonesian mangroves fruits, namely Avicennia sp., Bruguiera sp., Rhizophora sp., ...

Proximate biochemical parameters and antioxidant capacity of eight loquat genotypes (Eriobotrya Japonica Lindl.) from Zegzel Valley of Morocco
(2022-10-15)
The loquat fruit is considered as a very precious product due to its economic and health benefits. For this reason, the evaluation of their biochemical profile and antioxidant activity has become required. Indeed, healthy fruits are collected from eight loquat genotypes belonging to four regions of the Zegzel Valley. As a results, loquat fruit analysed showed a great pomological and biochemical richness. From the eight genotypes, the ‘Z1’ produced the biggest fruits (54.55 g) while ‘TA6’ had the highest sugar content ...

The effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus on the changes in the acidity of probiotic milk during storage
(2022-09-20)
The probiotic products are functional products for human health. To study the changes in the acidity of milk containing probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus, three containers containing 3 liters of sterilized low-fat milk with 1.5% fat prepared from Mihan Company were considered three groups. The results showed that the resulting changes in milk containing Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria due to acidity index were recorded in a two-hour period to reach the acidity of 42 °C in (milk) in the incubator at 38 ...

The effect of edible coating with combined Thymus Vulgaris extract and glycerol monoestearate on oyster mushroom ҆s shelf life
(2020-07-30)
Shelf-life of mushrooms is very low, because of several characteristics, such as their thin epidermal structure and high respiration rates. They tend to lose their quality after harvest. Hence, mushrooms need supportive care to keep freshness. Several protective methods have been recommended. In the current study, the effect of lipid-edible coating with different doses of glycerol monoestearate and thyme extract, for the extending of edible mushroom’s shelf life was evaluated. After, preparation of aqueous thyme ...

Socio-economic characterisation of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) growers and date value chains in Pakistan
(Biomed Central, 2016-08-02)
Increasing food production to feed its rapidly growing population is a major policy goal of Pakistan. The production of traditional staples such as rice (Oryza sativa L.) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been intensified in many regions, but not in remote, drought-ridden areas. In these arid, marginal environments dates and their by-products are an option to complement staples given their high nutritive value and storability. To fill knowledge gaps about the role of date palm in the household (HH) income ...

Effects of Petiveria alliacea (guinea hen weed) leaf extract on fermentation parameters, nutrient digestibility and faecal worm egg count in growing West African dwarf goats
(2022-03-21)
Medicinal plants are used in animal feeding as natural antimicrobial to improve nutrient utilisation and health status of animals. This study assessed the effects of varying concentration of Petiveria alliacea leaf extract (PLE) on fermentation parameters, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen utilisation and faecal worm egg count of growing West African dwarf goats. Twenty- four (24) growing West African dwarf bucks with average body weight of 8.50 ± 0.55 kg were divided into four treatment groups with six bucks each ...
