THE PRODUCTION OF LAUNDRY STARCH FROM CASSAVA TUBERS

THE PRODUCTION OF LAUNDRY STARCH FROM CASSAVA TUBERS

ABSTRACT The preparation characteristics of laundry starch using cassava tube was carried out using standard analytical procedure. The result reveals PH as 5.140, electrical conductivity 83.110 (NS/cm), Titratable acidity 33.806 (mg/l) and density 1.633 (g/cm3). However, this is work has given a first hand information on the quality of laundry starch produced using cassava tubes.

PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF Talinum triangulare

PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF Talinum triangulare

ABSTRACT This study was aimed at determining the phytochemical composition of Talinum triangulare. The sample was analyzed using standard analytical methods. The result of the study revealed the presence of alkaloids in high amount; tannins, flavonoids, and phenol in moderate amounts; saponins and cyanogenic glycosides in trace amounts while terpenoids were absent. This suggests that
