The effect of the addition of pineapple residue (Ananas comosus L.) on texture, physicochemical properties, and sensory acceptability of the plant-based minced meatball
(2023-05-14)
This study aims to develop plant-based meat alternatives with unique textures by adding pineapple residue at four different ratios (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% w/w). The developed products' textures, sensory characteristics, nutritional values, and consumer acceptance were all assessed. The results showed that an increase in the pineapple residue content caused lightness (L*), redness (a*), as well as yellowness (b*) to increase. The textural properties of the plant-based minced meatballs in this study were relatively lower ...

Effect of Different Treatments on Storage Quality of Celery Petioles
(2023-07-31)
This study was conducted for two seasons 2021 and 2022 to evaluate the influence of the hot water at 45º C or 50º C, chitosan at 0.5% and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at 5% O₂ + 5% CO₂, 5% O₂ + 10% CO₂ and passive MAP presented as control on quality attributes and browning of fresh-cut celery petioles during cold storage at 0º C for 16 days. The results indicated that all treatments were effective in reduced weight loss, color changes, discoloration, chlorophyll loss, total microbial count, polyphenol oxidase ...

Food typology of traditional foods based on millet, sorghum and cowpea from the rural communes of north central region of Burkina Faso
(2023-07-31)
Food vulnerability is a growing plague in developing countries, neglecting local foods. Better knowledge of local foods is necessary to improve their consumption. The objective of this study is to identify the types of local millet, sorghum and cowpea foods in the North Central Region from a socio-cultural perspective. The methodology consisted of organizing 12 focus groups to respond to an individual questionnaire on the socio-cultural characteristics of participants and their knowledge of their millet, sorghum and ...

Empowering women agripreneurs through precision agriculture technology adoption: An integrative review of literature
(2023-11-30)
The use of precision agricultural technology has been shown to increase yields while decreasing the farmer’s exposure to risk. Despite women’s important involvement in agriculture in many nations, there remains a technological gap between the genders. Particular focus on agriculture’s essential role in alleviating poverty and hunger. The literature gap in precision agriculture technology adoption by women agripreneurs needs to be addressed. This study presents an integrative review of the literature aimed at identifying ...

Effect of storage temperatures and modified atmosphere packaging on sprouting and quality attributes of fresh peeled garlic cloves
(2023-11-30)
This study was conducted during 2021 and 2022 seasons to evaluate the influence of active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at levels of 3% O₂ + 5% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 10% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 15% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 97% N₂, and 5% N₂ + 95% O₂ as compared with passive MAP as a control on sprouting and rooting delay and maintaining quality attributes of fresh peeled garlic cloves during storage at 5 and 10°C and 90 - 95% relative humidity for 20 days. The results indicated that all active MAP treatments were effective in reducing weight ...

Evaluating essential micronutrient content, sensory acceptability & economic viability of formulated sesame (Sesamum indicum), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) & groundnut (Arachis hypogea) food blend
(2023-08-31)
Food blending involving legumes and cereals that has been widely explored, however, there is a paucity of evidence of the use of ‘neglected crops’ such as sesame oil seed in complementing cereals and legumes to alleviate micronutrient deficiency. A completely randomised design involving food blends as treatments and a cross-sectional survey for sensory acceptability of food blends evaluation was done. Proximate macro- and micro-nutrient composition of substrates and food blend mixes was done using the Association of ...

The Impacts of Different Pea Protein Isolate Levels on Physiochemical, Textural, and Sensory evaluation of Ready-to-Cook Plant-Based Minced Meatballs from Oyster Mushroom
(2023-09-10)
The effects of different ratios of pea protein isolate (PPI) (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% w/w) on ready-to-cook plant-based minced meatballs made from oyster mushrooms were investigated. Increasing the PPI ratio resulted in higher protein content, while values for lightness (L*), yellowness (b*), hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness decreased compared to the control. Sensory evaluation indicated that all treatments received overall liking scores ranging from 6.50 to 7.23. The study demonstrated that incorporating 10% PPI ...
