Effect of Planting Period and Site on the Chemical Composition and Milk Acceptability of Tigernut (Cyperus Esculentus L) Tubers in Ghana
Two varieties of tiger nuts obtained from eight different sites and two harvesting periods in Ghana were evaluated for their chemical composition. The effect of site on sensory quality of milk extracted was also evaluated. The ranges (g kg) for fat, ash, carbohydrate and fiber of the black and brown varieties were 155.4-295.4, 128.7 275.3; 22.7 73.4, 29.8 -75.1; 12.3 19.4, 10.0 -16.4 ; 497.4 70...
متن کاملPhytochemical observation and antibacterial activity of Cyperus esculentus L.
In the present study various extracts of Cyperus esculentus L. such as acetone, 50% ethanol, chloroform and petroleum ether were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against several human pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Citrobacter freundii, by using disc diffusion method.

متن کاملPhysicochemical Characteristics and Composition of Three Morphotypes of Cyperus esculentus Tubers and Tuber Oils
Tuber characteristics and nutrient composition of three morphotypes of Cyperus esculentus tubers and tuber oils were determined. The mean value for length and width of the tuber and one thousand dried tuber weights ranged from 0.98 to 1.31 cm, 0.90 to 1.19 cm, and 598 to 1044 g, respectively. Tubers displayed high level of starch (30.54-33.21 g 100 g(-1)), lipid (24.91-28.94 g 100 g(-1)), and s...
متن کاملInfluence of Cyperus esculentus tubers (Tiger Nut) on male rat copulatory behavior
BACKGROUND Cyperus esculentus tubers (tiger nut) are one of the ancient food sources known to humanity. It is traditionally used in the Middle East to stimulate sexual arousal in men. However, there has been no scientific evidence about its assumed aphrodisiac properties. This study aimed to investigate the influence of tiger nut on the copulatory behavior of sexually active male rats. METHOD...
