Deciphering consumer purchase intention towards red palm oil as functional food: evidence from Malaysia
(2022-04-15)
This study aims to identify the determinants influencing consumer purchase intention towards red palm oil as a functional food with the application of an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) among Malaysian consumers. A total of 370 data were collected via mall intercepts in Malaysia using convenience sampling. Partial least squares (PLS) analysis was used to evaluate the measurement and structural model of the study. The results demonstrated that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control ...

The ‘fine balance’ of West African savannah parklands: biomass generation versus firewood consumption
(2022-03-15)
In sub-Saharan Africa, the long-awaited fuelwood gap, resulting of the unbalance between a declining supply of firewood and the increasing demand of households, remains a latent social-ecological challenge. As its quantitative basis remains elusive, we have assessed agroforestry parklands, assumedly main providers of firewood, and firewood consumption in Dassari, Benin and Dano, Burkina Faso, both in the West African savannah. Data collected included botanical inventories, tree biomass estimations, householders’ ...

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 ...

Solar fractions of SHIP plants considering the availability of roof area based on OpenStreetMap data
(2022-02-04)
Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) can be a key technology to decarbonize the industrial heat demand world-wide. Several national studies use either a bottom-up or a top-down-approach to assess the potential of solar process heat using estimated fixed solar fractions. Due to limited area available for the installation of solar collectors and the reasonality of the load profile, this solar fraction cannot be achieved in all cases. To address this limitation, another estimated factor is used in those studies. ...

Pollen Metabarcoding: Theory and Application
(2022-01)
Der vom Menschen verursachte Verlust der biologischen Vielfalt bedroht die Versorgungssicherheit durch Ökosystemleistungen, wie beispielsweise Bestäubung. Da unser Überleben als Spezies hiervon abhängt, ist es notwendig, unser Wissen über die Biodiversität in beschleunigter Weise zu erweitern, um dieser Bedrohung zu begegnen. Im Gegensatz zu dem Barcoding, bei welchem ein unbestimmter Organismus mit Hilfe eines Teils seiner DNS durch Abgleich mit einer Referenzdatenbank bestimmt wird, handelt es sich beim Metabarcoding ...

Innovative formulation of oleogels using bioactive compounds and sal starch and characterization of their products
(2022-02-15)
There is a focus on oleogels nowadays with low saturated fatty acids and zero trans fatty acids to substitute solid fats in various food formulations. The other advantage of using oleogels that it can retain the health benefits of the individual oils especially the micronutrients as the processing does not involve high temperature. The present study used a blend of rice bran oil and sesame oil, both the oils are rich in micronutrients, together with starch obtained from sal meal and lecithin as gelling agent to ...
