Effect of fermentation method, roasting and conching conditions on the aroma volatiles of dark chocolate
The combined effect of two cocoa fermentation methods – heap and tray – and different roasting and conching conditions on aroma compounds of dark chocolate were investigated. Dynamic headspace sampling/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to isolate and identify aroma volatiles. -
Spatial prediction of soil organic carbon stocks in Ghana using legacy data
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major driver of the multiple functions of soils in the delivery of ecosystem services. While the spatial prediction and mapping of SOC stocks are of key importance for land managers to understand the synergies between SOC management and soil health, a spatially-explicit map of the distribution of SOC stocks in Ghana is non-existent. -

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Topographical Mapping of Inaccessible Land Areas in Ghana: A Cost-Effective Approach
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for remote data acquisition has rapidly evolved in recent years. The integration of UAV with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques have reduced time and cost in acquiring data for inaccessible land areas -
Food security situation in northern Ghana, coping strategies and related constraints
This paper looks at the food security situation in three most deprived and poverty-stricken regions in the Northern parts of Ghana and examines how farmer households cope during food insecure periods.
