ABSTRACT The seeds of pawpaw and orange are generally discarded. However, in order to make a more efficient use of pawpaw and orange, it is worth investigating the use of the seeds as a source of oil. In this work oil was extracted from the seeds of both pawpaw and orange. The specific gravity, iodine value, acid value, peroxide value,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A study was carried out on the physico – chemical properties of fluted pumpkin seeds (Telferia occidentalis) flours.  The 1st two flour samples were obtained by boiling for 1 hr in 0.5% solution for Nacl, and .5% solution of Na2 S04 respectively. The 2nd two samples were obtained by soaking for 12 hrs in 0.5% soln of Nacl, and 0.5%... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Drying is a unit operation that is employed to calcuim sulphate slurries in order to remove or reduce the content of the liquid to an acceptable low value. The liquid content of a dried calcium sulphate varies from product to product. The experiment was carried out in the ceramic laboratory where the same... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An 8 weeks feeding trial of different percentage inclusion of Thevetia peruviana seed meal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus was conducted. The experimental diets were Ctr0TSM, 5TSM, 10TSM 15TSM and 20TSM percentage replacement of plant protein in the control diet. The experimental design is a complete randomize design in which there were... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Colocynthis citrullus (Egusi) are seeds of a creeping annual and intercropping plant made use in traditional farming practices while Irvingia gabonensis (Ogbono) are seeds of small mango-like fruit found in West Africa. The seeds when ground into paste are highly mucilaginous and are used in thickening soups. They also add to the... Continue Reading
