The study evaluated the potentials of Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) flour in production akara (fried cake). samples were produced by soaking seeds water, dehulled, oven dried and ground to divided into 4 units. was passed through sieve different size while control not sieved. Physicochemical sensory analyses conducted for using standard methods results presented as mean ± deviation ANOVA. Signific...

Tropical legumes are used to prepare mixed silages enrich the crude protein (CP) content. In This context, objective of this study was evaluate dynamics fermentation and quality maize silage with different levels Pigeon pea. The experimental design entirely randomized, four repetitions. treatments comprised six added pea (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%), calculated based on natural matter. hybrid vari...

This study investigated some quality attributes of unripe cooking banana (UBF), pigeon pea (PPF), and sweetpotato (SPF) flour blends. Simplex centroid mixture design was used to obtain 17 blends from the flours. The nutrient composition, color, and functional properties of the blends were evaluated using standard methods. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means were comp...

Densification of biomass can address handling, transportation, and storage problems and also lend itself to an automated loading and unloading of transport vehicles and storage systems. The purpose of this study is to compare the physicochemical properties of briquettes made from different feedstocks. Feedstocks such as corn stover, switchgrass, prairie cord grass, sawdust, pigeon pea grass, an...

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) remains an under-researched ‘orphan crop’ yet is important for food and nutrition security of smallholders. Furthermore, smallholders are heterogeneous, with varying perceptions resource capacities. Against this backdrop, we clustered assessed their preferences pigeon pea. Data were gathered through a cross-sectional survey 257 from northern Uganda, corroborated key i...

Background: Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) is one of the important leguminous crop of the tropics and subtropics and is infected by the wilt pathogen Neocosmospora vasinfecta in addition to Fusarium udum. Objective: Hence, the study was undertaken to see the in vitro effect of different fungicides (Thiram 75 WP, Carbendazim 50 WP, Chlorothalonil 75 WP, Metalaxyl MZ 72 WP, Thiram+Cabendazim (2:1), C...

Cookies were produced from germinated pigeon pea, fermented sorghum, and cocoyam flour (CF) blends to determine their potentials in cookie manufacture. Ten flour formulations were produced and they were evaluated for their proximate and functional properties. Protein content ranged from 4.85% to 19.89% with 100% CF (100CF) having the least value, while 100% germinated pigeon pea flour (100GPF) ...

The proximate constituents and phytochemical compositions of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean) Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) underutilized in Calabar, Cross River States was investigated. research will provide solutions to food availability affordability interlock their abundance complex carbohydrates, plant-based proteins, unsaturated fatty acids essential minerals. pigeon obtained from mark...
