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.). ...
Global distribution of alveolar and cystic echinococcosis
(Academic Press, 2017)
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are severe helminthic zoonoses. Echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of AE) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained ...
The growth and seed yield of five linseed ( Linum usitatissimum L.) varieties as influenced by nitrogen application
(Journal of Animal &Plant Sciences, 2014)
The linseed plant produces linseed, an excellent source of health-promoting omega-3 fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid. Currently, there is negligible production of this crop in Kenya. This study aimed ...
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 ...
The Influence of Compositional changes in Reconstituted Potato Flakes on Thermal and Dielectric Properties and Temperatures following Microwave Heating
(Elsevier, 2014)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of formulation changes on the temperatures of the reconstituted potato flakes following a standardised microwave reheating using a response surface method. Reconstituted ...
Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)
Cystic echinococcosis is endemic both in livestock and humans in many parts of Kenya. However, very little data exists on Echinococcus infections in dogs, and therefore their role in maintaining the transmission cycles and ...
A comparative evaluation of maturity indices of mango fruits produced in two contrasting agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(RUFORUM, 2014)
Harvesting mango (Mangifera indica) fruits at the right stage for the destination market and use requires reliable maturity indices. There are various indices that are used to determine harvest maturity for mango fruits. ...
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 ...
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 ...
