Estimating the Basic Density and Mechanical Properties of Elite Loblolly Pine Families with Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Near infrared spectroscopy coupled with partial least squares regression was utilized as a high throughput tool in assessing the density, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity of elite loblolly pine families (Pinus taeda L.). -
Ghanaian cocoa bean fermentation characterized by spectroscopic and chromatographic methods and chemometrics
Export of cocoa beans is of great economic importance in Ghana and several other tropical countries.Rawcocoa has an astringent, unpleasant taste, and flavor, and has to be fermented, dried, and roasted to obtain the characteristic cocoa flavor and taste. -
An in vitro Evaluation of Pleurotus ostreatus EM-1-modified Maize (Zea mays) Cob as a Non-conventional Energy Source for Livestock in Ghana
Treatment with Pleurotus ostreatus strain EM-1 recently has been proposed as an effective means of transforming maize cob into nutritive animal feed for livestock production in the West African sub-region. -
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. -

Physicochemical characteristics and microbiological quality of senescent plantain products
Senescent plantains have relatively very rapid deterioration rate compared to plantains at other ripening stages. In Ghana, they are used for products which are consumed either as a snack or a main meal. -
Ghana Soil Management Policy: Relevance, Concepts and Processes for its Attainment.
Ghana’s soils are described as low productive soils whose productivity continues to decline rapidly as a result of the adopted unsustainable crops production systems -
