ABSTRACT Elemental analysis is the qualitative detection and quantitative determination of chemical elements(atoms,ions)in a sample(Fritz Pregl 1923). To detect element, one should fix an appearance of an analytical signal. The formation of precipitate or characteristic crystals, colour change, an isolation of gaseous products, an appearance of a... Continue Reading

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PACKAGING MATERIALS ON THE QUALITY OF AFRICAN OIL BEAN SEED  (PENTACLETHRA MACROPHYLLA BENTH) ABSTRACT Effect of packaging materials for the preservation of the ‘Ugba’ as studied and evaluated. Raw African oil bean seed was processed to ‘ugba’ by fermentation for 72hours.  Wrapped in plant in leaf (musaparadisiaca).... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Spectroscopic method was used to determine quantities of carotene and ascorbic acid in carrot, cucumber, eggplant and tomatoes. The result shows that carrot has higher concentration of carotene =0.1430, follow by eggplant = 0.6950 and tomatoes = 0.0368 and cucumber has the least concentration of carotene =0.0139. The result also show... Continue Reading

The effect of different treatments of breaking seed dormancy of Parkia biglobosa seeds were studied in this project work. The results of different treatments observed showed 88% for concentrated H2SO4, 80% for scarification (with scalpel) and 52% for dry heat while the untreated seed (control) is 40% germination. The speed of germination for some... Continue Reading
