An assessment of the impact of pulsed electric fields processing factors on oxidation, color, texture, and sensory attributes of turkey breast meat
(Poultry Science Association, Inc., 2015)
Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is a novel nonthermal technology that has the potential to cause physical disruption to muscle tissue which in turn could alter the sensorial aspects of meat in both a positive (e.g., enhanced ...
Evaluation of Cold Tolerance in NERICA s Compared with Japanese Standard Rice Varieties at the Reproductive Stage
(Journal of agronomy and crop science, 2015)
New Rice for Africa (NERICA) is a general name for interspecific rice varieties derived from a cross between the high-yielding Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) between locally adapted African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud.). ...
Characterization of climate variability and water harvesting system for crop production in Adulala Watershed, Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
(HARAMAYA UNIVERSITY, 2015)
Scarcity of water is the most severe constraint for traditional agriculture in semi-arid areas of Ethiopia.
Precipitation is extremely variable, thus water harvesting is crucial for ensuring improved crop ...

Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Five Linseed Varieties Grown In Two Agro-Ecological Locations of Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, 2015)
Linseed oil is rich in the health promoting fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and oleic acid (omega-9), and is increasingly being used as a nutraceutical. However, there is limited linseed production in Kenya ...
Separation and Speciation Analysis of Zinc from Flammulina Velutipes
(Elsevier, 2015)
Orthogonal experiment was applied to optimize the water extraction parameters of zinc from Flammulina velutipes, and then the extracts were separated by membrane filter (0.45 μm) and D101 macroporous resin. Six different ...
Effect of Nanocomposite-Based Packaging on Storage Stability of Mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes)
(Elsevier, 2015)
In this study, a polyethylene (PE) packaging material that contained nano-Ag, nano-TiO2, nano-SiO2, and attapulgite was prepared and its effect on storage stability of mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes) was investigated. The ...
