INVESTIGATING THE QUALITY TRAITS OF FUFU DERIVED FROM CASSAVA MOSAIC DISEASE (CMD) RESISTANT GENOTYPES

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) stands as a vital staple food crop across tropical regions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, serving as a cornerstone of nutrition for millions of people. Its significance is underscored by estimates suggesting that cassava provides approximately 40% of the total calories consumed in Africa, making it second only to cereal grains in terms of energy contribution to the Nigerian diet. While cassava roots are predominantly composed of carbohydrates, with starch

STRATEGIES FOR AFLATOXIN RISK REDUCTION IN ARABICA COFFEE: EXPERIMENTAL TRIALS ON ADDITIVE APPROACHES TO INHIBIT FUNGAL GROWTH

Aspergillus, a filamentous fungus, poses a significant threat to food and feed safety due to its ability to produce mycotoxins, particularly aflatoxins. These secondary metabolites, derived from polyketides, exhibit profound toxicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity in higher vertebrates and animals. Aflatoxins are primarily synthesized by several Aspergillus species, including Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus nomius, Aspergillus toxicarius, and

ADVANCING RACTOPAMINE DETECTION METHODS: IMMUNOAFFINITY COLUMN CLEANUP IN ELISA FOR SWINE TISSUES

The misuse of agonists as growth promoters in meat-producing animals has raised significant concerns over the past two decades. Ractopamine (RCT) has emerged as a prominent agonist substance, illicitly employed for enhancing leanness in animals. Despite being approved by regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and various authorities in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, and the Philippines for swine feed, phenethanolamine agonists
