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 ...
An assessment of the effect of pulsed electrical fields on tenderness and selected quality attributes of post rigour beef muscle
(Elsevier, 2013)
The effect of conventional and PEF treatment (electric field strength: 1.1–2.8 kV cm− 1; energy density: 12.7–226 kJ/kg), frequency (5–200 Hz) and pulse number (152–300) on selected quality attributes of beef Semitendinosus ...

Physiological responses of composite tea to progressive drought.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2013)
An experiment was carried out on potted grafted tea in a greenhouse to quantify the effects of reducing soil moisture content on key physiological factors affecting growth, development, diurnal and physiological responses ...
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 ...
