ABSTRACT Unripe pawpaw which contains papain enzyme was used as a source of plant-derived tenderizer on meat samples and the microbiological stability   of the treated meat studied.  The raw meat had a bacterial count of 7.2×106, the cooked meat without paw-paw treatment had a bacterial count of 5.7×106 while the paw-paw treated meat had a bacterial count of 4.2 x 106 cfu/g .The fungal count ranged from 2.7 x 104 cfu/g to 2.1 x 104 cfu/g. The raw meat had…

ABSTRACT Microorganisms associate with the spoilage of beetroot was carried out following all microbiological and biochemical standards. The results of the analysis reveals the presence of Corynebacterium sp (50.60%), Staphylococcus sp (26.03%), Enterobacter sp. (15.07) and Leuconostoc sp. (8.22%). The total bacterial count shows that the organisms range from 1.2×104 cfu/ml to about 2.3×104cfu/ml while the fungal isolate were Aspergillus sp (10%), Cladosporium sp (20%) and Penicillium sp (70%). This result reveal that beetroot juice can actually be exposed to…

ABSTRACT Anatomical studies of Acalypha wilkesiana were carried out using standard epidermal procedure. Upper surface  (Adexial) and lower surface (Abaxial), showed  the following features which includes; Anisocytic  stomata, undulate anticlinal wall  pattern and the epidermal call shapes is irregular to polygonal. The trichome is absent on both adaxial and abaxial. The stomata distribution is hypostomatic stomata. These features could be used to delimit Acalypha wilkesiana from others in the family.   TABLE OF CONTENTS Title page    –         –         –         –        …

ABSTRACTS Analysis for bio-accumulation factor to know the absorption rate of certain trace metals from sediment to shell of Littorina littorea in Ayedeghe Beach. Sediment sample showed the sequence: Mg (27.07mg/kg) > Zn (10.99mg/kg) > Pb (3.21mg/kg) > (3.01mg/kg) > Cr (ND); the value for shell sample were Zn (2.3mg/kg) > Pb (0.78mg/kg) > Mg (0.41mg/kg) > Cd (0.09mg/kg) > Cr (ND). Sediment sample values were higher than the flesh sample values. Values for BAF were all below 1 indicating…

ABSTRACT This study was aimed at estimating the heavy metal composition of water form Qua Iboe River. The sample was collected from the study area and standard analytical method were used in carrying out the analysis. The result of the study revealed the following; Cd (1.2155±0.002 mg/L), Pb (0.9115±0.002 mg/L), Cr (1.3335±0.002 mg/L), Ni (1.0565±0.002 mg/L). The values were higher than the WHO permissible limit, this therefore indicate an health  risk to the population which implies that there is quick…
