The effect of 2, 3-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (sniper) application on the nutritional contents of cowpea over a period of time has been investigated. The chemical free cowpea samples were purchased directly from local farmers in Mubi town, Adamawa State. Three different treatment rates of 5, 10 and 15 ml of sniper were used. Each of the treatment rates was applied to 13 kg of cowpea and was placed in an air tight galloon. Another galloon containing 13 kg of cowpea without chemical treatment was used as the control sample. These were kept for a period of 30 and 60 days before analysis. The proximate and mineral components of the cowpea were analyzed using standard procedures. Assessment of the proximate composition revealed varied concentrations of protein, carbohydrate, ash, fat, crude fibre and moisture that ranges between 22.79-26.16%, 58.85-60.86%, 3.85-5.88%, 2.25-2.53%, 1.52-1.76% and 5.90-6.85%, respectively. Most of the proximate compositions were observed to decrease with increase in sniper concentration and storage duration. The proximate contents at 60 days after treatment application were observed to be significantly lower than that at 30 days. The mineral components analyzed ranges between 185.03-195.54 mg/100 g (P), 226.32-245.76 mg/100 g (Ca), 80.76-85.92 mg/100 g (Mg) and 595.25-642.34 mg/100 g (K) respectively; and at day 60 it ranges between 186.54-198.65 mg/100g, 251.07-262.73 mg/100 g, 86.48-90.12 mg/100 g and 650.06-700.04 mg/100 g respectively. The mineral contents were observed to increase with increase in treatment concentrations as well as storage duration. Therefore, sniper has significant effect on the proximate and mineral contents of cowpea. The effect depends on the rate and duration of storage. The use of sniper as an insecticide in the storage of cowpea should therefore be discouraged.

Для обогащения хлебобулочных изделий используют биоактивированное зерно пшеницы, что обусловливает введение дополнительной стадии технологического процесса – биоактивации. Снизить трудоемкость и сократить продолжительность процесса приготовления зернового хлеба из биоактивированной пшеницы, что особенно важно в условиях предприятий малой мощности, позволяет применение технологии глубокой заморозки теста. Однако продолжительная заморозка снижает активность клеток бродильной микрофлоры теста, поэтому необходимо установить оптимальный срок хранения замороженного тестового полуфабриката. Для исследований зерно пшеницы предварительно очищали от сорной и зерновой примеси, мыли, оставляли для набухания в воде на 22–24 ч, проращивали в течение 11–12 ч и измельчали путем пропускания через матрицу с диаметром отверстий 2 мм. Тестовые полуфабрикаты изготавливали по рецептуре для хлеба «Айсбрэд», затем их подвергали шоковой заморозке при температуре –35°С и хранили при –18°С в течение 7, 14, 21 и 28 сут. Перед использованием тесто размораживали, полуфабрикат выбраживал, из него формовали тестовые заготовки массой 0,07 кг, которые после расстойки выпекали. Контролем служило тесто без заморозки, приготовленное по рецептуре для хлеба «Колосок». Через 20 ч после выпечки оценивали физико-химические и органолептические показатели изделий. Методом микроскопирования выявлено, что с увеличением продолжительности хранения в замороженных тестовых полуфабрикатах повышается содержание мертвых клеток дрожжей. Наименьшее количество их наблюдалось в образце теста без заморозки – 12,2%, что на 29,0% меньше, чем в образце замороженного теста при хранении 28 сут. Установлено, что при хранении замороженного теста в течение 7, 21 и 28 сут содержание восстановленного глутатиона в нем соответственно на 1,6; 7,4 и 7,8% выше, чем в тесте без заморозки. Количество выделенного диоксида углерода через 120 мин брожения в образцах замороженного теста, хранившихся 7, 14, 21 и 28 сут, было меньше в 1,4; 1,5; 2,5 и 2,8 раза соответственно, чем в контрольном образце. По показателям качества изделия, выпеченные из теста после заморозки и без нее, существенно не отличались. На основании результатов исследований рекомендовано хранить замороженный тестовый полуфабрикат для приготовления зернового хлеба при температуре –18°С не более чем 21 сут. For the enrichment of bakery products, bioactivated wheat grain is used, which leads to the introduction of an additional stage of the technological process – bioactivation. The use of deep-freezing technology allows you to reduce the labor intensity and reduce the duration of the process of preparing grain bread from bioactivated wheat, which is especially important in the conditions of small-scale enterprises. However prolonged freezing reduces the activity of the cells of the fermentation microflora of the dough, so it is necessary to establish the optimal shelf life of the frozen dough semi-finished product. For research, wheat grain was previously cleaned from weed and grain impurities, washed, left to swell in water for 22–24 hours, germinated for 11–12 hours and ground by passing through a matrix with a hole diameter of 2 mm. The dough pieces were made according to the recipe for «Aysbred» bread, then they were subjected to shock freezing at a temperature of –35°C and stored at –18°C for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Before use, the dough was thawed, the semi-finished product was fermented, and dough pieces weighing 0,07 kg were formed from it, which were baked after proofing. The control was the dough without freezing, prepared according to the recipe for bread «Kolosok». After 20 hours after baking, the physico-chemical and organoleptic parameters of the baked bread were evaluated. Microscopy revealed that with an increase in the shelf life of frozen semi-finished products, the content of dead yeast cells increases. Their lowest number was observed in the sample of the test without freezing – 12,2%, which is by 29,0% less than in the sample of the frozen test, stored for 28 days. It was found that in the frozen dough samples stored for 7, 21 and 28 days, the content of reduced glutathione was by 1,6; 7,4 and 7,8% higher respectively, than in the control sample. After 120 min of fermentation, the amount of carbon dioxide released in the frozen dough samples stored for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days was in 1,4; 1,5; 2,5 and 2,8 times less respectively, than in the test without freezing. In terms of quality, the products baked from the dough after freezing and without it did not differ significantly. Based on the research results, it is recommended to store the frozen test semi-finished product for the preparation of grain bread at a temperature of –18°C for no more than 21 days.

The object of research is the technology of jelly-fruit marmalade with the addition of multicomponent fruit and berry paste from apples, quince and black currant. Marmalade products are in demand due to their attractive appearance, excellent taste, aroma and good absorption by the body. This delicacy is characterized by the absence of fat, high sugar content and the presence of functionally physiological ingredients. Due to the growing interest of consumers in products of increased nutritional value, the technology of jelly-fruit marmalade with the addition of multicomponent fruit and berry paste from apples, quince and black currant has been improved. New confectionery products must first of all be safe for human health, therefore, organoleptic, physicochemical and microbiological indicators of the quality of marmalade were determined during storage. In terms of organoleptic quality indicators, both control and experimental marmalade samples have high quality indicators during the shelf life. The storage duration affects the consistency of the marmalade, which becomes protracted after 3 months of storage and contributes to a decrease in the color saturation of all samples. The loss of the mass fraction of moisture in the control sample of marmalade up to 6.1 % and the sample with fruit and berry paste – up to 5.0 %, an increase in acid accumulation by 4.0–20.6 % for the control and by 4.0–20 % for the sample marmalade with pasta. It is noted that the content of reducing substances increases in the control sample by 18.0–50.0 %, which is 11.8–15.0 %, and in the sample with the addition of paste – by 10.8–36.9 %, which is 12.3–15.2 %. The data obtained is admissible and meets the established quality requirements in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents. Microbiological quality indicators have been determined and it has been established that new samples of marmalade with multicomponent paste, both freshly prepared and after a guaranteed shelf life, comply with the standards of all current requirements for the quality of food products. The safety of jellied fruit marmalade on agar with the addition of multicomponent fruit and berry paste from apples, quince and black currant has been proven during the guaranteed shelf life of 3 months.

The objective of the research study was to compare the texture and colour parameters as well as and some sensory indicators of low-sugar sour cherry jams with and without pro-health plant ingredients (the latter jams constituted a control sample). The sour cherry jams studied contained chokeberry, elderberry, Japanese quince, flax seeds, wheat germs and inulin; their content was 6 ÷ 42 % by weight of the total sour cherry fruit. Steviol glycoside was added to replace some part of sucrose and to reduce its amount by 15 ÷ 48 %. The products obtained were analysed immediately after production and, next, 6 and 12 months after storing them at a refrigeration (10 ºC) and room temperature (20 ºC). In the jams the dominant colours were red (a*) and yellow (b*). The brightest jams were those with added Japanese quince, flax seeds and wheat germs. Chokeberry and elderberry added caused the jams to significantly darken. After storage changes were found in the texture and colour parameters, though those in the jams stored at 10 ºC were smaller. The jams underwent a sensory evaluation: high scores (4.6 ÷ 5.0 points) were awarded to the jams immediately after production and after a period of their 6 month storage. Also after a 12 month storage period, the quality of jams was awarded high scores (4.7 ÷ 5.0 points) except for the jams with flax seeds and wheat germs that were lower scored (3.8 ÷ 4.0 points). The analysis of the jam samples studied show that storing the jams at a lower temperature is more beneficial and the storage duration of jams with flax seeds and wheat germs should be reduced to 6 months. The conclusion is that the jams with the selected plant component added (chokeberry, elderberry, Japanese quince, flax seeds, wheat germs and inulin) can be a beneficial alternative to traditional jams.

Narcissus, belonging to Amaryllidaceae family, is one of the emerging cut flower in ornamental industry. Appropriate cut flower packaging for ideal time period provides potential benefit of improving their post-harvest quality of flower. Current research was conducted with an objective to find out best suitable packaging materials and optimum storage duration for cut flowers of narcissus. Narcissus postharvest features were analyzed statistically and results showed significant difference among the treatments with respect to packaging material as well as storage duration. In our findings, polyethylene sleeve showed best results in most of postharvest parameters (vase life, total life, dry weight, and change in fresh weight). In our results, 2 hours duration of storage significantly improved the post-harvest parameters of cut Narcissus. Vase life, fresh and dry weight of flower obtained maximum value in two hours storage duration. It was interesting to note that as storage duration increased, post-harvest characters reduced. In conclusion, postharvest quality of cut Narcissus can be improved significantly by using suitable packaging material and optimizing storage duration.

This study was aimed at determining the effect of storage duration and butyric acid supplementation on egg quality of laying hens in the third phase of production. It used experimental method that employed Completely Randomized Factorial Design consisting of 2 factors; Factor A and Factor B. Factor A had 4 treatment levels of supplementation of butyric acid in diets; A0 (control treatment), A1 (0.175 g/kg diets), A2 (0.350 g/kg diets), and A3 (0.525 g/kg diets), while Factor B consisted of 3 levels of storage duration including B1 (1 week), B2 (2 weeks), and B3 (3 weeks). Each factor had 4 replications and each replication or unit consisted of 10 laying hens. The observed variables included egg weight, albumen weight, and yolk weight. The results indicated that the supplementation of butyric acid has no significant effect on the decrease of egg weight, albumen weight and yolk weight. Duration of storage significantly affected to decrease egg weight, albumen weight, and yolk weight. It can be concluded that there was no significant interaction between administration of butyric acid and duration of storage to the egg quality but duration of storage was significantly influenced the egg quality of laying hens in the third phase of production.

The extracted seeds of African breadfruit are identified to be extremely healthy whenever it is correctly processed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of processing methods on the nutritional quality of African breadfruit seed. A qualitative phytochemical analysis including: Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, Tannin, Anthraquinone, Terpenoids, Steroid, and Cardiac Glycosides for the different fraction of African breadfruit seed was performed using a standard method. The result revealed the presence and greater amount of phytochemical for the raw fraction; seven in eight, six in eight for steamed fraction, and four in eight for boiled and roasted respectively. Anti-nutrient, Proximate, and Mineral Content were also conducted using standard methods. The amino acid composition was determined using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results of the present study revealed that anti-nutrients including Phytate, Tannins, and Oxalate were significantly p<0.05 reduced in the boiled fraction 5.47±0.15, 3.42±0.02 and 6.89±0.05, and highest in the raw fraction 7.77±0.01, 5.09±0.03 and 9.34±0.14. The proximate composition including; percentage crude fat, Ash, Carbohydrate, Fatty acid, and Energy value were significantly lower p<0.05 in the boiled fraction relative to the other fractions. Mineral contents; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus were also significantly p<0.05 elevated in the boiled fraction relative to the raw, steamed, and roasted fraction. The amino acid composition was highest in the roasted and boiled fraction 57.350 and 56.978, and lowest in the steamed and raw fraction 35.754 and 28.748 respectively. Therefore, boiling (cooking) is encouraged for the preparation of African breadfruit seed.

Chickpea cooking water (CCW), known as aquafaba, has potential as a replacement for egg whites due to its emulsion and foaming properties which come from the proteins and starch that leach out from chickpeas into the cooking water. High pressure (HP) processing has the ability to modify the functional characteristics of proteins. It is hypothesized that HP processing could favorably affect the functional properties of CCW proteins by influencing their structure. The objective of this study to evaluate the effect of HP treatment on the associated secondary structure, emulsion properties and thermal characteristics of CCW proteins. A central composite rotatable design is used with pressure level (227–573 MPa) and treatment time (6–24 min) as HP variables, and concentration of freeze dried CCW aquafaba powder (11–29%) as product variable, and compared to untreated CCW powder. HP improves aquafaba emulsion properties compared to control sample. HP reduces protein aggregates by 33.3%, while β-sheets decreases by 4.2–87.6% in which both correlated to increasing protein digestibility. α-helices drops by 50%. It affects the intensity of some HP treated samples, but not the trend of bands in most of them. HP treatment decreases Td and enthalpy because of increasing the degree of denaturation.

Alternaria dauci (J.G. Kühn) J.W. Groves et Skolko and A. radicina Meier, Drechsler et E.D. Eddy are important seed-transmitted pathogens of carrot. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acetic acid treatments on the quality of stored carrot seeds. Seeds of two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.5, 1 and 2% acetic acid. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds soaked in distilled water and seeds treated with fungicide Zaprawa Nasienna T 75 WS/DS (a.i. thiram 75%). Germination, vigour and health of untreated and treated seeds were evaluated before and after 5 and 12 months of storage at 4 and 20 °C. Seeds of both samples treated with 0.5 and 1% acetic acid were characterized by higher germination capacity after storage than untreated seeds. However, treatments with 1 and 2% acetic acid negatively affected seed vigour. Generally, seeds of both samples treated with acetic acid were characterized by lower infestation with A. alternata and A. radicina after storage than untreated seeds and seeds soaked in distilled water. Moreover, acetic acid often controlled these fungi more effectively than the fungicide. Regardless of the storage duration, infestation with fungi was higher if seeds of both samples were stored at a lower temperature.
