brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

investigations have been carried out on the indoor air pollution in .different workshops of food processing plants in iran. in order to evaluate the exposure of workers to the three most commonly used indices of air pollution ten food processing plants representing ten groups of food industry with 2.816 workers were selected. air borne contamination of different origins such cotton seed. barley...

The study was carried out to assess the effects of the Root and Tuber Expansion Programe (RTEP) on the livelihood of project beneficiaries in Kwara State, Nigeria. A 3-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study, selecting a total of 80 cassava processors from two Agricultural Development Programe (ADP) zones in the State. Structured interview schedule was used as instrument to elicit pr...

cantaloupe (cucumis melo) volume was measured using water displacement and image processing methods. the volume determined from image processing method was compared to the volume determined by the water displacement method using the paired samples t-test and the bland-altman approach. the paired samples t-test results showed that the volume determined by image processing method was not signific...

modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. in light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of processing...

aseptic processing is defined as steril product filling in pre-sterilized containers followed by hermetic sealing in a sterile environment. aseptic processing and packaging has made great developments as a flexible and efficient technology for production of sterilizable products in food industries. in this study, the historical developments of the application form processing, sterilization of p...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.
