This study aimed to develop an automated technique, which is rapid, non-destructive and inexpensive, test for rancidity of nuts. A visible near infrared benchtop hyperspectral camera was used capture images from blanched canarium, unblanched canarium macadamia samples. Support vector machine classification (SVC) PLSR models were developed segregate the pooled spectra nuts predict their peroxide...

Aflatoxin contamination and rancidity in locally processed commercial fish feeds ingredients along value chains is a Public Animal health hazard. The study established the level of aflatoxin contamination, peroxide (PV), Anisidine (AnV), their associated factors at storage areas among farmers, processors, traders, factories, landing sites Wakiso Kampala districts. chain actors were purposively ...

The aim of the study was to investigate preservative effect turmeric paste on African catfish in tomato sauce with a view producing ready-to-eat and reduce stress processing. microorganisms associated products were enumerated, isolated identified, lipid oxidation monitored, organoleptic properties assessed. microbial load ranged between 0.000 2.635 log cfu/g during storage. Bacillus subtilis co...

In order to assess the sunflower oil (SFO) oxidative stability that was added by essential oils extracted from Lonicera japonica flower buds (LJEO) during deep-frying at 180 °C for 30 h, we clarified compound/compounds of LJEO improved SFO. The results displayed addition (0.06 g/kg) could significantly restrict elevation or reduction in levels total polar compounds (TPC), thiobarbituric acid (T...
