Susceptibility of steeped and heat dried cowpea flour to fungal growth and aflatoxins production
In vitro studies were carried out to determine the susceptibility of flours from steeped and heat dried cowpea to fungal growth and aflatoxins production. A 2 x 7 factorial experimental design with 2 levels of steeping time of cowpea grain in water (0 and 3 min steeping) and 7 levels of drying temperatures of the grains ranging from 35 to 120°C were used for flour production. -
Multilinear Regression Approach in Predicting Osmo-Dehydration Processes of Apple, Banana and Potato
The potential for improving food quality through osmo-dehydration is tremendous but limited by quantitative data and methods. A Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) approach was developed for water loss and solid gain during osmo-dehydration of apple, banana and potato taking into account the effect of temperature, concentration, time of immersion, sample size, sample type and agitation. -

Extracellular Laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus Strain EM-I: Thermal Stability and Response to Metal Ions
The metal ion response profile and thermal stability of extracellular laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus strain EM-1, which is widely cultivated in Ghana, were investigated to provide information essential for the establishment of laccase-based applications in the country. P. ostreatus (Jacq. ex. fr) Kummer strain EM-1 was cultivated on a mixture of Triplochiton scleroxylon (wawa) sawdust, rice bran and lime. -
