ABSTRACTA study on the effects of post- harvest variables on the yield and quality of Shea butter wascarried out. The Shea nuts acquired from villages were divided into five batches with avillage/uncontrolled sample. Each batch was boiled at different time ranges (0, 15, 30, 45 and60) minutes. Each batch was dried through an oven drying method.... Continue Reading

Abstract   The effect of Shea butter rich diet on gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rats was determined. Thirty (30) male and female albino rats grouped into 6 (normal, negative, positive, 10%, 20% and 30% Shea butter rich diet groups respectively) of 5 rats each were used for the study. Phytochemical analysis was carried out on the Shea... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The design of a 1000 tonnes per annum Shea butter plant was carried out using data obtained from literature. Assumptions were made, where experimental data were not available. The block diagram, process flow sheet, material and energy balance on the process was carried out and presented on this work. A total of six units were used in the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  In this study, the whole plant of Mimosa pudica was extracted using absolute ethanol. The crude  ethanolic extract and its isolated triterpenoid glycoside were tested for antifungal activity towards  Aspergillus flavus and Trichophyton rubrum using Well Diffusion Method. At concentrations of 25 – 100 mg/mL, the extract possesses... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Human systemic fungal infections have increased in the past decade due to the dramatic increase in immunocompromised patients hence the emergence of resistant fungal strains. It is therefore necessary to discover new antifungal compounds with novel mode of action. This study was aimed at isolating and characterizing antifungal agents from... Continue Reading
