The accelerated curing of pork using power ultrasound: A pilot-scale production trial
(International Congress of Meat Science and Technology, 2013)
Lab-scale studies show that power ultrasound (US) accelerates meat curing and produces superior quality hams
through cavitation. This study aims to optimize pilot-scale production of US hams for quality ...
Evaluation and selection of spiderplant (Cleome gynandra L.) varieties suited for production in kenya
(Journal of Scientific Conference Proceedings, 2013)
Limited access by farmers to improved spider plant (Cleome gynandra) varieties and low fertilizer use are major causes of low leaf yields for this crop. Surveys have shown that the crop is among traditional leafy vegetables ...

The effect of salt and fibre direction on water dynamics, distribution and mobility in pork muscle: A low field NMR study
(Elsevier, 2013)
The effect of salt concentration and fibre orientation on water within the meat matrix was investigated by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), water-binding capacity (WBC), diffusion studies and histologyi-cal ...
The influence of nitrogen application on the growth and mineral content of two African nightshade species (Solanum spp.) cultivated in Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture, Science and Technology, 2013)
Plant growth, leaf nitrogen and nitrate-N, and chemical content of two African nightshades, Solanum villosum
and S. sarrachoides under different nitrogen levels was investigated in field experiments in 2001 ...
Effect of inoculating selected climbing bean cultivars with different rhizobia strains on nitrogen fixation
(International Journal of Microbiology Research, 2013)
Experiments were designed to investigate biological nitrogen fixation in indeterminate (climbing) bean cultivars namely
Cargamanto, NG224-4 and G59/1-2. Greenhouse and field studies were carried out to determine ...
INFLUENCE OF NITROGEN FERTILISATION AND STAGE OF MATURITY ON IRON LEVELS OF SPIDER PLANT (CLEOME GYNANDRA)
(Scientific Conference Proceedings, 2013)
Iron micronutrient deficiency is still a major concern of public health significance especially in Africa and particularly in Kenya. In the current study, five different species of spider plant were obtained ...
Managing soybean for enhanced food production and soil bio-fertility in smallholder systems through maximized fertilizer use efficiency
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2013)
The production of promiscuous soybean by smallholder farmers in Kenya would improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), boost food security, and contribute to generation of cash. The present study ...
Comparison of Freeze-Drying and Freeze-Drying Combined with Microwave Vacuum Drying Methods on Drying Kinetics and Rehydration Characteristics of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Slices
(Springer, 2013)
Button mushroom slices were dried using freeze-drying (FD) and freeze-drying combined with microwave vacuum drying (FD + MVD) methods. Drying parameters including drying temperatures (20, 30, and 40 °C), chamber pressures ...
Comparison of Freeze-Drying with Three Different Combinations of Drying Methods and Their Influence on Colour, Texture, Microstructure and Nutrient Retention of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Slices
(Springer, 2013)
Freeze-drying (FD) and three different combinations of drying methods: freeze-drying combined with hot air drying (FD + AD), freeze-drying combined with vacuum drying (FD + VD) and freeze-drying combined with microwave ...
