Development of a Non-Mist Vegetative Propagation Protocol for Eucalyptus Hybrid Clones
(Journal of East African Natural Resources Management, 2009)
Eucalyptus trees have proved to be a popular species for farm forestry,however their vegetative propagation has not been optimised mainly due to the high cost of infrastructure used to propagate them in mist ...
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature embryos of tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines
(2008)
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was achieved from immature embryos of six maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines (CML216, CML78, CML331, TL18, TL27 and MU25). Callus was initiated on N6 medium supplemented with ...
Microwave Expansion of Imitation Cheese Containing Resistant Starch
(Elsevier, 2008)
The objective of this study was to manufacture an imitation cheese that expands to a crispy product when heated in a microwave oven. Imitation cheese (∼18% w/w protein and 60% w/w moisture content) was formulated with ...
Effects of Refrigerated Storage on Water Mobility and Microwave Expansion of Imitation Cheese containing Resistant Starch
(Elsevier, 2008)
The effects of storage time prior to microwave heating on expansion of imitation cheese containing functional fibre was studied. Cheese was formulated to contain 60% moisture and 17.3% w/w resistant starch. Cheese samples ...
Kinetics of the Alkaline Phosphatase Catalyzed Hydrolysis of Disodium p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate: Effects of Carbohydrate Additives, Low Temperature, and Freezing
(PubMed, 2004)
The alkaline phosphatase catalyzed hydrolysis of disodium-p-nitrophenyl phosphate was studied in four model systems comprising sucrose, maltodextrin, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and CMC-lactose in a temperature range of ...
Impact of the invader Ipomoea hildebrandtii on grass biomass, nitrogen mineralisation and determinants of its seedling establishment in Kajiado, Kenya
(African Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2008)
The invasive coloniser Ipomoea hildebrandtii aggravates the problem of inadequate grass forage in Kajiado district, Kenya. To test
its impact on grass biomass, nitrogen (N) mineralisation and seedling establishment, grazing ...
Traditional strategies used by pastoralists to cope with la nina induced drought in Kajiado, Kenya
(African Journal of Science and Technology, 2008)
Pastoralists traditionally relied on herd mobility to cope with drought. In the pastoral areas of Kajiado, Kenya this strategy is now threatened by increased individual land ownership as compared to communal access. Drought ...
