Volatile compounds and aroma profile of Bogma (traditional Turkish homemade distilled spirit) produced from dry fig were investigated. Volatile compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and aroma active compounds by gas chromatography/olfactometry (GC/O) were determined using direct injection (DI) and head space-solid phase microextraction techniques (HS-SPME). Aroma extraction dilution analysis

The Metabolizable energy and digestibility estimates of mixed rations containing crop by-products as feeds for small ruminants was investigated using the in vitro gas production technique. Four concentrate feed mixtures of maize (TM), Cassava peel (TCP), Plantain peel (TPP) and Yam peel (TYP) in a roughage base of Panicum maximum

Agriculture in Kenya can develop gainful employment opportunities for youth that would enable them exploit their economic innovation and enhance equal opportunities for the male and female youth for national economic growth. Improving youth participation in the agricultural sector is thus of paramount importance for the nation to develop. Youth’s

This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the population dynamics of species of flea beetle on Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L) Moench) production in FCT Abuja. The experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, University of Abuja, Abuja. The treatments comprised of four different plant spacing of

Trypanosomiasis has been recognized as a major cause of sickness and death throughout sub-Saharan Africa as well as a major constraint on the use of livestock. Inadequate disease reporting and surveillance has hampered the control of the disease. This study sought to investigate the prevalence of Trypanosomiasis among cattle in

The experiment was conducted during the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 at the Institute for Agricultural Research farm in Samaru (11o 11’ N, 7o 38’E), Nigeria. The study was conducted with the objectives of testing the effects of nitrogen levels and micronutrients on stover yield of maize varieties (Quality

Improving wheat for end use quality is an important goal for wheat breeders. The composition of high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) contributes to a great extent in determining wheat quality for processing. The HMW-GS are known to be encoded by six genes located at the Glu-1 loci on the

The effect of tillage methods and rates of wood ash on soil properties and yield of castor bean plant was studied in field trial at Abakaliki in three different planting seasons. The experiment was a split plot in randomized complete block design with three tillage methods (mound, ridge, flat) and

Weight-length relationship and condition factor of a fish is frequently used to evaluate the well-being of such fish in its environment. This study investigated the seasonal variation in length-weigh and condition factor of five important fish species from Kolo creek, Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The fish samples were obtained

An assessment of soil properties under shifting cultivation system of farming in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria was carried out. The soil varied from sand, silt and clay in texture. The bulk density of the topsoil and subsoil was 0.95 and 1.231 g/cm3, 0.1.78 and 1.2821
