Quality Characteristics of Candies Produced from Tiger Nuts Tubers (Cyperus Esculentus) and Melon Seeds (Colocynthis Citrullus. L) Milk Blend
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 15 Issue: 2
Tiger nut tubers (Cyperus esculentus L) milk and egusi melon (Colocynthis citrullus) seeds milk were selected for production of candies. The candies developed from tiger nuts and egusi melon seeds milk and their blends were subjected to sensory and physicochemical analysis. Results showed that the candies had no significant difference (p<0.05) in acceptability of sensory parameters viz, ...

The Role of Virus Vectors in Orange Fleshed Sweetpotato Genotypes Infection - A Case Study
Published In: GJSFR Part: D: Agriculture & Veterinary Volume: 15 Issue: 2
The economic importance of sweetpotato as a carbohydrate food and feed for man and animals is well known in the world all over. Sweetpotatoes are crops vegetatively propagated from vines, root slips (sprouts), and farmers often take vines for propagation from their own field year after year. Therefore, virus diseases are inevitably transmitted with propagation materials to newly planted ...
