Toxicity problem is another factor that affecting nutritive value of cassava leaves (Tontisirin et al 2002). The variability observed in chemical components of cassava and its by-products in this study agreed with the report of Chaves et al. (2005) that there is much variation in the nutrient quality of the cassava root, leave and peel. The higher variability noticed in crude fiber, ether extract and ash for cassava root, leaf and peel could be due to resultant effect of soil nutrient and other components. According to Gil and Buitrago, (2002),fiber content differ according to variety and stage of development and the starch decreases in cassava root as the fiber content increases. This level of ash content gives an indication of total mineral …show more content…
It is possible that most of these amino acids are affected by factors that cause variability in nutrient composition of cassava by-product. Moreover, humidity when drying the material is another factor that interferes with protein determination as excessive drying of the root powder may alter nutrient drastically. Hence, the protein content of root crops is influenced by variety, cultivation practice, climate, soil nutrient, growing season and location (Woolfe, 1987). The observed strong positive correlation between ash and ether extract in root, ether extract and crude fiber might be due to changes in ash content due to environmental problem. It is well known that ash content is highly dependent on the soil and area of plantation (Siti sarah and Aisha, 2015). Reversible correlation obtained in NFE and ether extract, NDF and NFE, NFE and ash, ash and CP may be due to different analytical tools used and wider variation in chemical content as a result of different factors. The revealed strong positive correlation between ether extract and crude protein might be due to varietal issue. The fat content of cassava is determined by age of plant when harvested, variety and environmental factors. For cassava root, r2 for predicting individual AA from CP content was generally low and was greater than 20% only for TAA and valine. Also, r2 for predicting individual AA from leaf was 25% for TAA while that of peel was above 70% for histidine and threonine. Weak relationship observed among the CP, TAA and TIAA in this study might be due to their percentage proportion and changes in protein level as a result of development stage and environment (Howelar,
Explanation: For our first product, the Isolation, consisting of Fries and Drinks, expected demand for the month of August is 373 units. One unit of isolation needs potato fries, cooking oil, juice powder and water, cup and straw. Total quantity for the fries would be 46,563.30 grams (Fries 125 grams/serving); this would consume a total volume of 12,404.469ml of oil (Oil 33.3ml); for the juice 4,656.33grams of powdered juice along with 5,960.10 ounces of water (Juice powder 12.5g and Water 16oz/order); total cups and straws would then be 373 pieces. In order to meet this demand for the month of August, we must be able to sell at least 16 orders per day. For the month of September, our expected demand is 380 units of Isolation (Fries and Drinks).
The typical Cuban cuisine and common food rituals have their origins mainly in Spanish dishes, like arroz con pollo (chicken and rice) and paella; pork is served in diverse forms, chicken, and rice, and seasoned with sofrito (a mix of spices).

In this experiment, lipids from ground nutmeg are extracted using a combination of solvents and identify the lipids through chromatography. The purpose of using solvent combinations is to elute the lipids based on their polarity to binding of the silica gel. The chromatography is performed on a silica gel plate and the use of iodine to visualize the lipids. By calculating the Rf values for each compound and comparing them to the known lipids, we are able to distinguish the lipids within the grounded nutmeg.

Foods from Africa, which have impacted North American cuisine are numerous, and common in the everyday eating habits of Americans. In the 21st century, Americans take for granted the history of the food they eat, and the origins of the foods that are eaten today. In the early part of the history of the United States, people of European descent brought recipes from home and adapted their recipes to the ingredients which were available. The slave trade was directly responsible for what many Americans think of as American food, and those foods are traceable to Africa. Because slaves incorporated their own foods into the everyday lives of their masters, some of the unique foods from Africa and their history are not well known today. American
There are three major methods in extraction of edible oil from plants and fruits. The first major method is by solvent extraction with organic solvent. This method is mostly suitable for plants with low fat content. Since every species of plant consists of different composition, hence the modification of this method is needed based on different plants. Firstly, the traditional and conventional solvent extraction has been widely and commonly used for many plants. However, some studies show this method does not obtain highest productivity in extraction. The procedures for this method are firstly prepared a round bottom flask outfitted with a water condenser on plate heater with magnetic base. The mixture with the ratio of 3:1 solvent to feedstock is brought to desired extraction temperature, and then it is placed into the round bottom flask. The round bottom flask is then placed into preheated oil bath. After the required duration of time, oil from the mixture was extracted by centrifugation. Oil extraction yield was expressed as percentage of total oil in sample divided by total oil in feed (Terigar et al., 2011). The value of total oil is then obtained from Sohxlet extraction method. Sohxlet solvent extraction method has also been used widely for determination oil contain in product. Specific weight of sample was placed in a cellulose thimble. The thimble is then fitted into a distillation flask. The solvent used in this method are hexane or ethanol. The volume of solvent used is highly depending on the sample used in the beginning of the experiment. This extraction undergoes in Sohxlet device for about 10 hours. After the extraction, solvent was expelled in a rotary- evaporator and the extract was dried under nitrogen steam (Teri...

This clearly shows that the fruits and vegetables play a vital role in maintaining our good health. Fruits and vegetables are seasonal and grown in different parts of our country. They need to be stored for longer period and transported to different places. It makes necessary for us to find out whether there is any damage to the useful contents of the fruits and vegetable during the storage and transportation or due to some preservatives or other factors and what kind of nutrients, minerals, etc. are present in their juices. With this idea in mind, the project has been undertaken.
Plant nutrition is area of plant biology that is of the utmost importance for the proliferation of plants. Without proper nutrition, plants would simply cease to exist unless drastic alterations were made. There are certain elements that are required for the plant to grow and reproduce; these elements are known as essential elements. There are three requirements of an essential element: the element must be required for the completion of the plant’s life cycle, the element must not be replaceable by another element in whole, and finally the element must be direction involved in the metabolism of the plant. Chemical compounds that are involved in proper nutrition have been designated as nutrients, and further classified as macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are needed for growth, metabolism, and many other functions, but are designated as “macro” because they are required in larger amounts. Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fat molecules. Micronutrients have a much wider function that depends on the exact micronutrient. Micronutrients are designated as so because they are needed in much smaller amounts when compared to macronutrients. Examples of micronutrients include vitamins and minerals.
