Physical and chemical changes were compared with soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil , rice oil, rapeseed oil, lard, palm oil and coconut oil in continuous water spraying and heating system (Table -1 , Fig,-1•`4). Thermal oxidative changes such as viscosity increasing ratio, carbonyl and iodine value , showed close relation with the initial iodine value of these oils. However, in coconut oil ...

The individualistic effect of unit operations of production, at household level, on some antinutritional factors in selected cowpea-based food products (moin-moin, akara, and gbegiri) was investigated. Four cowpea types (IT93K-452-1, IT95K-499s-35, IT97K-568-18, and market sample) were used for the study, whereas the three traditional food products were produced from each of the cowpea types, r...

Geogenic arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater is a major ecological and human health problem in southwestern and northeastern coastal areas of Taiwan. Here, we present a probabilistic framework for assessing the human health risks from consuming raw and cooked fish that were cultured in groundwater As-contaminated ponds in Taiwan by linking a physiologically based pharmacokinetics model an...
