Abstract

This paper assesses certain heavy metal concentrations in borehole water within Zuru Metropolis, Kebbi State. Utilizing rigorous sampling and analytical methods, the study aims to provide insights into the potential health risks associated with heavy metal exposure in the local water supply. Twenty different borehole water samples were assessed for Zn, Pb, Hg, Mn, Cr and Cd levels (mg/l). The results revealed that only few boreholes water samples had concentration levels of heavy metals that are not within WHO recommended levels. While chromium and cadmium levels are below detection limits .The findings contribute to the understanding of water quality in the region, offering valuable information for public health interventions and water management strategies.

Abstract

Legumes are important source of high-quality protein and oil, as well as other nutritious substances. The higher the content of these nutritious substances in a given legume the higher it’s quality. The mineral and proximate contents of the variety of legumes available in Mahuta town, were determined using standard procedures. The results showed that legume samples vary significantly (p < 0.05) in the chemical parameters evaluated. Soy beans and Ground nut had significantly high concentration of protein than Bambara nut. Equally, Bambara nut and Ground nut shows superiority in carbohydrate composition. Soy bean and Ground nut showed significantly higher concentration of mineral and abundance, while bambaranut had the lowest mineral and lipid contents. Hence, the selected legumes evaluated can serve as alternative protein sources with carbohydrate good minerals, and fibre.

Abstract

The study explores the chemical composition of neem seed oil, highlighting its potential for commercial biodiesel production and various industrial applications. The oil, with a liquid state, pale greenish-yellow color, and pleasant odor, yielded 32.1%, surpassing industrially extracted oils like soybean and cottonseed. Factors influencing its composition include seasonal variations, geographical origin, genetic disparities, growth stages, plant segments, and postharvest processing. Despite these, neem seeds meet the required oil content percentage for large-scale industrial biodiesel production. However, challenges like high free fatty acid content and elevated acid values necessitate acid esterification before alkaline transesterification, potentially increasing production costs. The study also highlights the importance of appropriate seed processing practices to optimize oil yield and quality.

Abstract

This paper assesses the concentrations of specific heavy metals in borehole water within Zuru Metropolis, Kebbi State. Utilizing rigorous sampling and analytical methods, the study aims to provide insights into the potential health risks associated with heavy metal exposure in the local water supply. Twenty different borehole water samples were assessed for Zn, Pb, Hg, Mn, Cr and Cd levels (mg/l).
