Effect of Fermentation on Some Minerals and Antinutrient Content of Telfaira Occidentalis and Gnetum Africanum Leaves
Get PDFAntinutrients are natural compounds in plant foods that interfare with the absorption of nutrients, thereby reducing there theirbioavailability. Hence, the need to curb their effect in order to prevent deficiencies of micronutrients becomes paramount. This study therefore aimed at determining the effect of fermentation on some minerals and antinutrients content of Telfaira occidentalis and Gnetum africanum leaves. The vegetables were fermented in the open using deionized water. T. occidentalis and G. africanum leaves were fermented for 24 and 48 hours respectively. Mineral and antinutrient contents were determined using standard methods. The results showed that Fe, Zn, Ca, Cu and Mg content were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T. occidentalis than G. africanum, and fermentation significantly (p<0.05) increased the level of Zn, Ca, and Cu of both vegetable leaves, while iron (Fe)significantly (p<0.05) increased and Mg significantly (p<0.05) decreased in T. occidentalis, Fe significantly (p<0.05) decreased with Mg showing no significant (p>0.05) change in G. africanum. The antinutrient content of phytate and oxalate is significantly (p<0.05) higher in G. africanum and fermentation significantly (p<0.05) decreased these antinutrients in both vegetables. The study shows that fermentation significantly (p<0.05) increased the level of Zn, Ca and Cu, and significantly (p<0.05) decreased the phytate and oxalate content of both vegetables

Effect of Temperature Variation on Viscosity of Selected Cooking Oils
Get PDFThe viscosity of a liquid is a measure of that fluid's resistance to flow when acted upon by an external force such as a pressure differential or gravity. Effect of temperature variation on the viscosity of selected cooking oils were studied at five different temperatures (10oC, 30oC, 50oC,70oC and 90oC). Viscometer (cannon model 2020) was used to carry out the study. The results obtained showed that the viscosity of the three samples differs significantly while the temperature reduces the viscosity of all the oil significantly especially for groundnut oil at 300C. At 100C coconut oil solidified, the variation in temperature and viscosity of the oil reveals that viscosity is a temperature-dependent for satisfactory mass transfer rate and low energy input during flow operation

Reliable Loan Information System Using Eager Replication
Get PDFReplication is the process of sharing information so to ensure consistency between redundant resources, such as software or hardware components. One of the challenges in database replication is to introduce replication without severely affecting performance. Because of this difficulty, current database products use lazy replication, which is very efficient but can compromise consistency. As an alternative, eager replication guarantees consistency but most existing protocols have a prohibitive cost. In the distributed systems community, software-based replication is seen as a cost-effective way to increase availability. Depending on the application, data to be replicated may be stored in a file or a file collection, a database or a database table, or an object stored in a file or in a database. This system is applied eager replication method for loan databases in loan organizations. This system can support reliable replicated data for the loan system between replicated databases
