Abstract

Propolis contains natural polyphenolic compounds with various biological activities, however, its application is limited due to low water solubility, instability in an aqueous medium, and low absorption rate in the body. The solution to overcome these drawbacks is to create nanoparticles of propolis extract. In this study, we encapsulated propolis extract in nanoparticles (propolis extract-loaded nanoparticles, PE-NP) using low/medium molecular weights of chitosan (LMW/MMW) and cross-linker sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) by ionic/ionotropic gelation method as wall materials. We examined the physical characteristics (pH, turbidity, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential) and antioxidative properties of PE-NP prepared with the different molecular weights of chitosan, various concentrations of chitosan, and different volumes of propolis extracts. The resulting PE-NP revealed low encapsulation efficiency (23.937 - 41.192%) and pH in the range of 3.9 - 4.8. PE-NP also presented antioxidant capacity that was contributed by polyphenolic compounds in propolis extract. The suspension of PE-NP had a particle size of 350.000 - 488.280 nm with PDI values higher than 0.3 (heterogeneous dispersion), and positive zeta potential (39.340 - 48.200 mV), resulting in stable nanoparticles. The PE-NP produced can be used as functional ingredients in the food industry due to their antioxidative property.[This article has been officially retracted upon the request of the author]

Abstract

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a dual purpose, early matured low land pulse crop. Information on the genetic divergent, path coefficient and principal component analysis plays a vital role for further breeding activity in common bean. Therefore, this study was initiated with the objective of identifying superior lines for hybridization program, identify the traits that have direct and indirect effect on seed yield and to determine genetic similarity among genotypes using multivariate analysis on 64 genotypes using 8x8 simple lattice design at Aybra main research site during 2023 under rain fed conditions. Analysis of variance was performed using SAS software and the genetic divergent and principal component analysis were done using R software. The ANOVA revealed highly significant variations among genotypes for all the traits considered in the study and it suggest the possibility of estimating genetic divergent, path coefficient and principal component analysis. Branches per plant, above ground biomass and harvest index had significant positive direct effects on seed yield at the genotypic and phenotypic levels while days to maturity had a significant negative indirect effect with seed yield at the genotypic. The maximum inter cluster distance was found between clusters VII and VIII (D2 =351.39), followed by clusters V and VIII (D2 =331.23). The first five principal component axes accounted for 74.3% of the total variation, with eigenvalues greater than unity. The number of days to maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, number seeds per pod, seed yield, and harvest index were the traits that contributed most of the variation in the first PCs. Therefore, selection based on direct and indirect effect of the traits and hybridization based on cluster distance could be possible for the improvement of common bean in the study area.

Abstract

Coffee is one of the leading plantation commodities in Indonesia. High-quality coffee has a higher price than low-quality coffee. The quality of coffee is determined by the method of selecting planting materials, handling during harvest, and processing. Coffee that is processed naturally, will be dried in the form of fruit/cherry so that coffee will decrease in quality. The quality of coffee beans can be improved if the roasting process is carried out using the right roasting temperature and time. With a variety of treatments in post-harvest processing methods and roasting levels will produce different coffee quality so that appropriate treatment is needed to determine the final result of coffee with the best quality. This study used the Complete Randomized Design (CRD) method with 2 factors, namely differences in coffee types (robusta coffee and arabica coffee) and roasting levels (light roast, medium roast, and dark roast). The research variables observed were seed weight, camba density, water content, and caffeine content. The data obtained will be analyzed using analysis of variance. If there is a significant difference between treatments, then further tests will be carried out using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% failure level.

Abstract

Traditional cereal technologies have long been applied in Africa since the dawn of time. Cereal technology is the processing of cereal grain into starch and other nutrients for consumption by humans or animals. The technology involves all processes that the grain is taken through from the farm till it reaches the table for consumption. Examples of traditional cereal technologies employed are sun drying, parboiling, roasting, malting and fermentation. Poor livelihoods and inadequate nutritious foods for some African communities may be alleviated through use of the indigenous cereal technologies. The objective of this review is to discuss various traditional cereal technologies and explain their influence on the life of communities. This review is based on traditional cereal technologies that have been employed over the years and their importance to the livelihood of communities in Africa. Technologies employed by various communities and how they have paved way for the development of current technologies were explored. Information in the review was extracted from various journals and papers on cereal technologies. Some of the information was obtained from different rural communities thereby giving details of technologies  being employed todate. The techniques used are an effective way of improving nutritional quality, reducing anti-nutritive compounds and improving the functionality of cereals. Traditional cereal technologies improve sensory properties and shelf life of foods. The technologies are also important in reducing post-harvest food losses and increasing food availability. As reviewed, these technologies bring variety to diets and increase the bioavailability of some nutrients, serve as a source of income and encourage unity in communities. By creating employment opportunities in rural areas, use of traditional cereal technologies contribute to reduction of rural-urban migration.  Cereal processing technologies are an important part of community livelihoods, food and nutrition security especially in rural areas.  However, there is need to continuously improve some of these techniques to ensure sustainability of livelihoods and food security.

Abstract

Among bean legumes, there are recently developed varieties known as nutritionally enhanced beans such as NUA 35 and NUA 45 sugar beans. The objective of the research was to assess the performance of NUA 45 foundation, certified and commodity seeds grown under farmer management at Rupike Irrigation Scheme in Masvingo. Concentrations of zinc (2.75-4.45mg/kg) and iron (70.85-104.5 mg/kg) in the soils were below expected levels of 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg respectively.  The NUA 45 sugar bean missed the target potential yield (2400 kg/ha for Highveld) by between 54% and 62%. The 100 seed mass of second generation seeds ranged from 62.13 to 78.47 g. Protein concentration of the seeds which range from 19.79 to 22.86% increased from first generation (F1) to second generation (F2) for each of Foundation, Certified and Commodity seeds. The concentration of fibre with minimum and maximum levels of 5.76% and 8.43 % respectively increased from first generation to second generation for Foundation and Certified seeds. The 95% confidence interval for Zinc concentration at F1 (planted) is 10.84 ≤ µZn≤11.18 mg/kg and also the 95% confidence interval for Zinc concentration at F2 (harvested) is 11.79 ≤ µZn≤12.12 mg/kg and lower than CBI claim of 38.00 mg/Kg. The 95% confidence intervals for iron concentration ranged from 28.50 ≤ µFe≤30.57 mg/kg with the highest being 30.59 ≤ µFe≤32.34 mg/kg are below the CBI claim of 93.00 mg/kg. The nutrients levels increased from the first generation to the second generation of seeds for each of foundation, certified and commodity seeds.

Abstract

— Curahpoh Village, Bondowoso Regency, has the potential to become a center for producing Robusta coffee. The uniqueness is found in several Robusta coffee outliers which produce yellow fruit resembling yellow cattura and yellow bourbon which are only found in Arabica species. A new clone of “yellow robusta coffee” found in Curahpoh Village needs to be characterized and identified for its kinship with existing robusta coffees on the market. It is hoped that the results of this study will become the basis for claims for the first superior new yellow coffee clone in Robusta coffee. This study used several morphological, physiological parameters to characterize these superior clones and identification of kinship with several other Robusta clones using RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA). Other robusta clones as a comparison were imported from several community plantations or state-owned enterprises in Bondowoso district and its surroundings. The interim results in this study were that Robusta coffee in Curahpoh village was morphologically identical to BP 44, BP 42, BP 534 and BP358. This hypothesis is supported by the appearance of the leaves which are known to have waves that are quite strong compared to other coffee varieties collected in the trial greenhouse. Morphologically, Robusta coffee in Curahpoh village has similarities/identical with BP 44, BP 42, BP 534 and BP358 on the parameters of leaf number, leaf shape, leaf morphology and fruit color on the plant. Clones BP409, BP42, Sinasense, BP358, BP939, and Propelegitu are coffee clones that are molecularly highly related.

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of vermicompost with equivalent nitrogen ratios on soil chemical properties and onion production in Northwestern Ethiopia. The experiment comprised six treatment levels: Control, Recommended Nitrogen, 75% Recommended Nitrogen + 25% Vermicompost, 50% Recommended Nitrogen + 50% Vermicompost, 25% Recommended Nitrogen + 75% Vermicompost, and 100% Vermicompost. These were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) via SAS software. The results showed that vermicompost combined with nitrogen affected the yield components of onions. However, soil properties, except for Total Nitrogen (TN) and Organic Carbon (OC), were not significantly affected by the treatments. The application of 50% vermicompost with 50% nitrogen resulted in the highest bulb yield (23.6 t/ha) compared to the control. Therefore, for a quick improvement in yield, applying 50% vermicompost with 50% nitrogen can be preferable in the study area and areas with similar agro-ecological conditions to achieve the highest net benefit.

Abstract

Ethiopia's food supply and economy in general are largely dependent on rain-fed agriculture, which is persistently affected by drought. To counteract the recurrent drought, different water harvesting and irrigation schemes were constructed. Similarly, Dengora Earth dam was constructed in East Belesa district in central Gondar, Ethiopia. However, the dam was not functional for a long time due to the silting of the bottom sediment and water outlets. Therefore, the study aimed to transfer water over the dam crest using a low-cost siphon pump for large-scale irrigation. As a result, three siphon pumps with a diameter of three inches were installed. The discharge capacity of one siphon pump in a given reservoir is about 20.80 l/s. In reverse, the motor pump works for about 10 hours with an average fuel consumption of 35 litres per day. The technology was evaluated based on costs, efficiencies, and technical requirements through the wide participation of stakeholders. The siphon pump was selected and well accepted by the beneficiaries, and their feedback was gathered as the technology could be scaled to irrigate more areas without fuel and related costs. Therefore, a siphon pump is feasible for Dengora Earth Dam and similar reservoirs.

Abstract

The effect of heating harvested fruits before storage varies depending on factors such as the fruit cultivar, heating method, and storage conditions. In this research, tomato fruits at different maturity stages were treated with steam and then stored at 28°C. Mature-green stage fruits heated at 55°C for 10 and 30 minutes showed no signs of rot for 24 days. Breaker-stage fruits heated at 55°C for 10 and 20 minutes, as well as at 60°C for 10 minutes, remained disease-free during storage. Heating at 55°C for 30 minutes enhanced the colour development of mature-green fruits, and the same effect was observed for breaker-stage fruits heated at 55°C and 60°C for 20 minutes. However, steam treatment did not effectively protect red-ripe fruits, as they decayed faster than the control group. Significant heat injury was observed only in breaker stage fruits heated for 20 and 30 minutes at 55°C, and 10 and 30 minutes at 60°C. The fungi causing decay isolated from diseased fruits were Fusarium oxysporum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Rhizopus stolonifer, Geotrichum candidum, and Aspergillus niger.

Abstract

The soil in the Coba area of the Golina watershed at Raya Kobo Valley contains various soluble salts and exchangeable sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. However, excessive concentrations of these elements can affect soil processes and plant growth, with the impact varying based on concentration levels and plant types. To study the salt-affected soils in the area, we excavated one profile from non-irrigated fields and collected ten soil samples at 20 cm intervals in a two-meter profile. The samples were analyzed for chemical properties such as pH, soluble cations and anions, electrical conductivity, exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, Na, and K), total nitrogen, organic carbon, available phosphorus, exchangeable sodium percentage, sodium absorption ratio, as well as physical characteristics such as soil color, texture, bulk density, and porosity. The analysis revealed that the non-irrigated soil profile had a pH of 7.4 to 8.5, electrical conductivity of 3.1 to 9.7 dsm-1, organic carbon of 0.4 to 1.5%, total nitrogen of 0.09 to 0.27%, available phosphorus of 25 to 46.5 mg kg-1, and a cation exchange capacity of 48.7 to 57.2 cmol (+) kg-1. Considering the top layers of the soil responsible for agricultural purposes, the electrical conductivity, exchangeable sodium percentage, and pH values indicate that the soil can be classified as saline-sodic soil for non-irrigated farmland.
