L. amylophilus GV6 was studied for production of L(+) lactic acid in single step fermentation using starchy substrates. Seven types of inexpensive organic nitrogen supplements (flour of pigeon pea, red lentil gram, black gram, bengal gram, green gram, soya bean and baker’s yeast) were evaluated for their potential to replace more expensive commercial nitrogen sources, peptone and yeast extract....

Changes in the chemical composition and functional properties of fermented seed flour of Pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan L. were studied for 0,1,2,3,4 and 5 days. The differently fermented seeds were analyzed for proximate composition, calorific values and functional properties. Results showed that fermentation significantly (p≤ 0.05) increased the moisture, protein and ash contents of the seed while...

Pigeon pea [Canjanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is an orphan crop that has remained greatly unimproved in quality and quantity Africa even though it great potential of supplying food to the growing population. Its yield affected by various biotic abiotic factors a lack varieties with broad adaptability range environments. It therefore important select accessions are stable different environments for c...

Pigeon pea and tempeh are local foods that rich in nutrients. This functional drink is a development of the previously made peanut formulation. gude beans with addition arabic gum as stabilizer. Analyzing effect adding through organoleptic tests knowing food safety this drink. research pre-experimental research. The design uses one shot group design. analysis test used was Friedman test. Produc...

A lab experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chromium (Cr) on seed germination, root elongation and coleoptile growth in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). The seed of the pigeon pea was treated with five concentrations of Cr (0, 20, 40, 80 and 100 ppm). The results indicated that the per cent germination of test crop was decreased after application of 20 ppm Cr concentration. The effect o...

Background: Among various biotic factors limiting pigeon pea yield, weeds are of prime importance which can causes seed yield losses up to 80 per cent. Therefore current study aims evaluate the impact imidazolinones on in (Cajanus cajan L.). Methods: The experiment was laid out randomized block design using eighteen treatments replicated thrice. To control pea, alone and its combination with pe...

Cherry tomato cultivation in protected environments ensures production the off-season, reaching yields up to 100 t ha-1 with 150 days of cultivation. Fertilization organic composts can influence components cherry tomato. From this perspective, study aimed evaluate different doses and composts, based on their nitrogen contents, The experiment was conducted municipality Boa Vista - RR, at Agrotec...
