Cyanogenic potential of selected cassava varieties in Zombo District, Uganda
Oloya, Benson; Adaku, Christopher; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Andama, Morgan (International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences, 2017)Both improved and local cassava varieties are widely grown and also, consumed in Zombo district as well as West Nile Sub region and Uganda as a whole. However, all cassava varieties contain cyanogenic glycosides which are ... -
Detoxification of Nyar-Udota cassava variety in Zombo district by fermentation
Oloya, Benson; Adaku, Christopher; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Andama, Morgan (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 ... -
Facile synthesis and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with hydroxyapatite from cattle horns for adsorptive removal of fluoride.
Ojok, Walter; Bolender, James P.; Wasswa, John; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Wanasolo, William; Moodley, Brenda (Elsevier Ltd., 2023-03-09)Developing a new adsorbent for fluoride removal from cattle horn waste materials by a facile chemical method has shown great potential for fluoride removal. This paper reports the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes ... -
Hydrochemistry and fluoride contamination in Ndali-Kasenda crater lakes, Albertine Graben: assessment based on multivariate statistical approach and human health risk.
Ojok, Walter; Wanasolo, William; Wasswa, John; Bolender, James; Ntambi, Emmanuel (Elsevier, 2021-08-08)Hydrochemistry of crater lakes (n = 15) in the Ndali-Kasenda cluster was deciphered using standard methods of the American Public Health Association to understand the major ion chemistry; spatial distribution, occurrence, ... -
Mobility of chromium, copper and arsenic in amended chromated copper arsenate contaminated soils
Nakiguli, Caroline Kiwanuka; Ojok, Walter; Omara, Timothy; Wasswa, John; Ntambi, Emmanuel (Asian Journal of Applied Chemistry Research, 2020-09-23)The use of copper-based preservatives such as chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and creosote to prolong the life of lumber present environmental concerns because they contain heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
Role of starch in one pot fabrication of mesoporous gamma-alumina with excellent fluoride sorption capacity
Ojok, Walter; Moodley, Brenda; Wasswa, John; Ntambi, Emmanuel; Wanasolo, William; Bolender, James (Elsevier Ltd., 2023-08-28)Green synthesis of mesoporous γ-AƖ2O3, a cutting-edge material for sustainable application in medicine, engineering, energy, and water treatment, is still challenging. Our study used a one-pot strategy for facile synthesis ... -
