This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical, nutritional, and organoleptic properties of nuggets based on Moringa oleifera leaves Arius thalassinus. The ratio giant catfish M. were 100:0, 100:5, 100:10, 100:15. increase affected characteristics nugget products, viz., texture profile, protein, amino acids, cooking loss, water holding capacity (WHC). Based sensory tests, four types with did ...

Callosobruchus maculatus (Fab.) (C. maculatus) is one of the major pests legume seeds in storage causing significant damage, leading to food insecurity and low income for farmers. This work was planned develop eco-friendly agents from essential oils Artemisia herba alba Asso. (AEO), Maticaria Recutita L. (MEO), Dittrichia Viscosa (DEO) control C. maculatus. To achieve this goal, (EOs) were extr...

Five new Elaphidiini species are described from Bolivia including Anelaphus maculatus sp. nov. from Tarija and Mephritus bonasoi sp. nov., M. meyeri, sp. nov., M. punctulatus sp. nov. and M. eleandroi sp. nov. from Santa Cruz. A revised key to all 22 South American Mephritus species is provided.

Nearly all mungbean cultivars are completely susceptible to seed bruchids (Callosobruchus chinensis and Callosobruchus maculatus). Breeding bruchid-resistant mungbean is a major goal in mungbean breeding programs. Recently, we demonstrated in mungbean (Vigna radiata) accession V2802 that VrPGIP2, which encodes a polygalacturonase inhibiting protein (PGIP), is the Br locus responsible for resist...

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp. is a widely planted nutritious grain legume [1]. It is cultivated in many West African countries including Nigeria. Cowpea is a source of dietary protein, vitamins and mineral salts. It has been consumed by human since the earliest practice of Agriculture in developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America [2]. The pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculat...

In vivo electrophysiological recordings in the sea catfish, Arius felis, showed that the magnitude of the integrated facial taste responses to binary mixtures of amino acids was predictable with knowledge obtained from previous cross-adaptation studies of the relative independence of the respective binding sites of the component stimuli. Each component from which equal aliquots were drawn to fo...
