Detoxification of Nyar-Udota cassava variety in Zombo district by fermentation
(2017)
Fermentation is capable of detoxifying cassava cultivars. Cassava is one of the most important food crops in the
world and in Uganda it is the second most consumed food crop after bananas. However, cassava has some toxic ...
Potential of soaking and sun-drying in detoxifying toxic cassava root tubers
(International Journal of Food Science and Biotechnology, 2017)
Root tubers of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) have cyanogenic glucosides which liberate hydrogen cyanide (HCN) on hydrolysis in quantities that can be toxic to humans. As a result, several techniques have been used to ...
Ethno-varieties and Distribution of jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) in Uganda: implications for trade, food security and germplasm conservation.
(East African Journal of Science, Technology and Innovation, 2019)
Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. is a fruit tree crop largely grown in tropical regions for its edible fruits. Though listed among underutilized crops, the demand for jackfruit in Uganda has increased. Amidst the increase in ...
Studies on the utilization and proximate composition of wild Aframomum anguistifolium (sonn.) K. Schum fruits in Nakaseke district, Uganda.
(African Journal of Food Agriculture Nutrition and Development, 2019)
Nakaseke district is located in the central region of Uganda and has high abundance of
edible Aframomum anguistifolium (wild cardamom) fruit, locally known as
“Amatuunguru’’. The fruit is consumed by only few ...
Variation of cyanogenic potential of selected cassava varieties with age in Zombo district, Uganda
(Scholars World-International Refereed Journal of Arts, Science & Commerce,, 2018)
Cassava is a major staple food in the developing world, providing a basic diet for around 500 million people. In Uganda, it is currently one of the most important food crops and ranks second to bananas in terms of ...
Effectiveness of traditional processing techniques in reducing cyanide levels in selected cassava varieties in Zombo District, Uganda.
(International Journal of Food Science and Biotechnology, 2017)
The root tubers of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) contain varying amounts of cyanogenic glucosides which liberate toxic hydrogen cyanide with the resultant effect of poisoning especially the highly cyanogenic cultivars. ...
Phytochemical composition of aqueous crude extracts of selected pesticidal plants used against brassica vegetable pests
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2020-01-20)
The phytochemistry of five plants (Phytolacca dodecandra, Azadirachta indica, Capsicum frutescens, Allium cepa and Tagetes minuta) was determined to evaluate their potential as sources of alternative pesticides against ...
Effect of supply-chain sourcing and delivery of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of public animal breeding services in the selected cattle corridor Districts of Uganda
(Journal of Supply Chain Management Systems, 2020-08-18)
The study focused on the effect of supply-chain sourcing and delivery of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the public animal breeding services in selected cattle corridor districts (Mbarara, Mubende, Luwero & Soroti) of ...
The challenges of reconstructing tropical biodiversity with sedimentary ancient DNA: a 2200-year-long metagenomic record from Bwindi impenetrable forest, Uganda
(Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020-07-10)
Sedimentary ancient DNA has been proposed as a key methodology for reconstructing biodiversity over time. Yet, despite the concentration of Earth’s biodiversity in the tropics, this method has rarely been applied in this ...
Effect of supply chain planning of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of animal breeding public services in the selected cattle corridor districts of Uganda
(International Journal of Agricultural Policy and Research, 2020)
The study aimed to explain the effect of supply chain planning of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of animal breeding public services in the selected cattle corridor districts (Mbarara, Mubende, Luwero and ...
