Chemical analysis and consumer acceptance of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) rendang as a typical West Sumatra culinary innovation
(2023-08-29)
Rendang is one of the typical foods of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra. The cooking process takes about 6-7 hours at a temperature of 80-90ºC, which decreases the nutritional level. This long process enables the perfect cooking of the meat. White oyster mushrooms can be used as a substitute for rendang meat because the vegetable protein contains lots of fibre, and the texture is similar to meat. Based on the results of the hedonic test on 72 respondents under and above 45 years old, the oyster mushroom rendang ...

The potency of robusta coffee pulp as a vinegar product
(2023-11-30)
Coffee processing produces 40-50 % of by-products that can damage coffee plants and cause environmental pollution. The coffee pulp as waste can be used for producing acetic acid solution as a preservative and hand-washing agent to prevent infection. The fermentation process can affect the quality of the acetic acid solution. This study aims to analyse the effect of yeast types and time fermentation as well as to determine the characteristics of acetic acid solution from Robusta coffee pulp. The experiment consists ...

Cricket powder (Acheta domesticus) as a lean pork meat replacer in cooked sausages
(2023-08-29)
The incorporation of insects in everyday foods is a developing area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the optimal percent replacement (5.0, 7.5 or 10.0%) of lean pork meat with cricket power (CP) in cooked sausages. For this purpose, the quality and safety were evaluated through the following parameters: pH, moisture, water activity, TBA value, colour (L*, a*, b*), texture and sensory profile, microbiological status and microstructure during seven-day cold storage. The pH of cooked sausages with CP ...

Enhancing crop-livestock systems: Unveiling the impact of leaf stripping on maize hybrid yield in Sundarbazar-Lamjung, Nepal
(2024-03-12)
In local maize agro-ecosystems in Nepal leaf stripping is, historically, practiced as a source of fodder for livestock. However, its effects on hybrid maize have not been studied. The aim of this study was to determine how defoliation below the cob affects the grain and fodder production of hybrid maize and what value the stripped leaves have as fodder for ruminants. Seven hybrid maize cultivars were evaluated for their response to leaf stripping in a randomized complete block design with three replications in ...

Using Optical Satellite Imagery to Monitor and Understand Agricultural Land-cover Change
(2020-06)
The activities of humans have transformed the earth over the last decades. The transformation is estimated to increase further in response to the growing world population. This has caused many countries to devise means to utilize resources sustainably. Bio-economy is seen as a means to reduce the high reliance on fossil materials and ensure the provision of raw materials, energy and food to the increasing world population in a sustainable manner. However, the rising demands for biomass to produce bioenergy have relied ...

Evaluating the role of climate smart agriculture towards sustainable livelihoods in Mutare district, Zimbabwe
(2022-02-15)
Increasing climate variability continues to threaten livelihoods in southern Africa where communities face the challenges of addressing context specific complexities associated with rain-fed agriculture. Zimbabwe is equally vulnerable but the country is going through a transformation in agriculture through the implementation of climate smart agriculture practices that endeavour to enhance adaptation, resilience and increase productivity. The study was undertaken in Mutare district, Zimbabwe with the aim of exploring ...

Upgrading Starchy Staples for Tackling Malnutrition in South-West Ethiopia
(2018)
Child undernutrition is a critical public health challenge in Ethiopia. One of the immediate causes of child undernutrition is inadequate dietary intake as a result of relying on one or few starchy staples. Utmost attention should be given to improving diets of infants and young children if significant and fast changes are to be seen in the reduction of undernutrition. This dissertation examines the potentials of utilising appropriate food processing technologies for developing upgraded food products for infants and ...
