SFP Volume 10

Online since: October 2021

Description: This "Sustainable Food Production" volume reports about the last research on the nutritional value of the Nigerian dish Moi-Moi. Increasing substitution of cowpea with white maize resulted in enhancing the nutritional value in Moi-Moi samples. With these improvements, Moi-Moi samples along with other nutritious foods will prevent hidden hunger, weaning deficiencies in infants, protein-energy malnutrition.

SFP Volume 8

Online since: October 2020

Description: This volume of the "Sustainable Food Production" reports about the last researches in food science like the amino acid composition of Nigerian beef jerky meat called Kilishi and the study on the effect of heat treatments (roasting, boiling and autoclaving) on the physical, nutritional and functional properties of in-shell and shelled peanut (Arachis hypogaea). As well in this volume presented papers as research on comparing the quality parameters at four different ripening stages of pineapple (cultivar Mauritius-Queen type) and their effect on sensory properties after dehydration and discussed soil nutrient management methods that will maximize the pro-vitamin A content of bio fortified Orange fleshed sweet potatoes.

SFP Volume 4

Online since: December 2018

Description:

The fourth volume of the journal Sustainable Food Production starts from the investigation concerned with assessment of the traditional and sustainable harvesting methods on the collection of two leading non-timber forest products Griffonia simplicifolia Baill. and Xylopia aethiopica A.Rich. in Liberia. The further studies dealt with the preliminary evaluation of the microbiological quality of the peanuts produced in Nigeria for pathogens such as Salmonella spp., Listeria spp., Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria, as well as mold, yeast and total aerobic mesophilic microflora; estimation of the antifunginal activity of volatile compounds from essential oil of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) for the control of Botryodiplodia theobromae causing rot of white yam; comparison the fermentation characteristics of kombucha from black tea or green tea as nitrogen sources and white sugar or brown sugar as carbon sources in a 30-day fermentation time. Finally, it can be found a review on the available information on the quality of palm oil obtained locally in Imo state, Nigeria.
