Abstract

High post-harvest losses occur as a result of the fruits rapid decline in quality after harvest. Using a steam exploded simple juicer is one approach to make up for this loss. The aim of this study was to optimise the processing conditions of a manually operated hydraulic press for the extraction of fruit juice. To measure extraction yield, efficiency, and principle extraction loss, freshly selected fruits (orange, pineapple, and watermelon) were sliced to 20, 40, 60, and 80 mm, steam-conditioned for varying lengths of time (5, 10, and 15 minutes), and loaded onto the machine at various rates (50, 75, and 100%). The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the procedure. To ascertain the variations in extraction yields using reference extraction methods, a comparative study was also carried out. The impact of the investigated parameters on the extraction procedures were significant (p 0.05). The pineapple was sliced to 71.25 mm, steamed for 12.60 minutes, and loaded at a rate of 50.61% under the optimal conditions of the press, resulting in an extraction yield, machine efficiency, and extraction loss, which were 79.56, 67.48, and 11.96% respectively. When compared to reference extraction methods, the device yielded the highest fruit extraction yields. Thus, the press was an efficient, effective, and industrially appropriate extraction method that minimizes post-harvest losses.

Abstract

Cassava effluent has become a subject of growing environmental concern in developing countries largely due to ineffective disposal methods. In this study, the impact of land disposal technique by processors in Ayetoro, Ogun State Nigeria was investigated. Soil samples were collected from three disposal sites scattered across the study area at depths of 0 cm, 15 cm, 30 cm and 45 cm. Results were compared with samples obtained from control sites at a distance of 5 m from the disposal sites. The physicochemical parameters determined includes soil pH, silt, sand, clay, organic carbon, exchangeability acid, pH, total nitrogen, average phosphorous, zinc, lead, iron, sodium, copper, calcium, potassium, magnesium and manganese. The result show that the pH varies significantly across the sites. The highest concentration was recorded for phosphorous while the lowest concentration was obtained for total nitrogen. The highest concentrations were recorded at the soil surface while the lowest were recorded at 45 cm depth. Idagba recorded the highest pollutant concentration and while the lowest were obtained at kano. The activities and discharge techniques of processors had negatively impacted the soil quality which may also affect the ground water quality. There is a need to take proactive measures to protect the environment through adequate sensitization and enforcement of environmental laws.
