  • Changes in Amino Acid Composition of African Yam Beans (Sphenostylis stenocarpas) and African Locust Beans (Parkia filicoida) on Cooking
    2015
    Co-Authors: A. S. Ekop
    Abstract:

    Abstract: Amino acid composition of raw and cooked African yam Beans and African Locust Beans have been determined. The results showed that cooked or raw Beans contained all the amino acid commonly found in protein food materials. Cooking has significant effect on some essential amino acid contents of the two seeds (P>0.05). When the samples were cooked, the essential amino acid content of African yam Beans and African Locust Beans were observed to change from 1.12 to 0.97g per 16g N and from 1.69 to 1.79g/16g N respectively. African Locust Beans showed isoleucine and threonine to be its limiting amino acids. Their values increased slightly on cooking from 2.27 to 2.31(African yam Beans) and from 2.91 to 3.33g per 16g N(African Locust Beans). The advanced amino acid profile of the two cooked seed samples compares favourably with whole hen’s egg and most of them meet the daily requirement of FAO and WHO. The amounts of lysine, proline and glutamic acids amounts reduces cooking any of the two studied Beans, while the remaining amino acids showed slight but varied percentage changes on cooking. Results are also compared with literature values for other contemporary plant seeds and legumes. The two seeds are projected as alternative sources of cheap food protein.

  • response of broiler chickens to graded levels of Locust Beans parkia biglobosa pulp meal
    Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2020
    Co-Authors: F O Abeke, G S Bawa, M H Bot
    Abstract:

    Two hundred and twenty five, day-old Arbour Acre broiler birds were use to investigate the effect of graded dietary levels of Parkia biglobosa pulp meal (PBPM) on the performance, haematological and carcass parameters of the birds from 0-8 weeks of age. Five isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets were formulated to contain PBPM at 0,10,20, 30 and 40 percent respectively making a total of 5 treatments. Each treatment was replicated three times with 15 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design experiment. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. Records taken included weekly weight changes and weekly feed intake. There was no record of mortality throughout the duration of the experiment. Results obtained showed a decrease in the bird’s performance as the dietary levels of the pulp increased. The final weight (g/b) and weight gain (g/b/day) decreased from 2122 and 33.91 for the control to 1309 and 20.97 for the 40% inclusion level of PBPM meal respectively However birds placed on 10% dietary level had a performance that were not significantly (P>0.05) different from those placed on the control diet which were on standard broiler starter and finisher rations. Also it was observed that values obtained for the haematological parameters fall within the range often reported for healthy birds indicating that the pulp did not impart any deleterious effect on the health of the birds. It can be concluded that broiler chickens can be fed up to 10% dietary level of PBPM without adverse effect on the performance of the birds.

  • replacement value of maize with african Locust Beans parkia biglobosa pulp meal on performance haematological and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens
    Nigerian Journal of Animal Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: M H Bot, G S Bawa, F O Abeke
    Abstract:

    Two hundred and twenty five Marshal broiler chicks were used to investigate the effect of replacing maize with Parkia biglobosa pulp on performance, haematological and carcass characterics of broiler chicken. Five diets were formulated. Diet 1 which served as the control was a normal broiler starter and finisher diet, respectively. Diets 2-5 had maize replaced at 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent, respectively. The birds were housed under the deep litter system. Feed and water were given ad libitum throughout the duration of the experiment. Each of the diet represented a treatment and each treatment was replicated three times with 15 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design experiment. The study lasted for 8 weeks. Results obtained indicated that broilers can tolerate up to 25% replacement of maize with Parkia pulp without adverse effect on the performance, haematological and carcass characteristics of the birds. Key words : Parkia pulp, broiler chickens, carcass, haematological parameters, performance.

    Co-Authors: Mohamed S. Abbas, Amira Sh. Soliman, Hattem M Elshabrawi, Mai A. Selim
    Abstract:

    Abstract The present study was carried out to determine the best pre-sowing treatments that can enhance the germination and seedling growth of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Also, to establish and long-term maintenance of calli and cell suspension cultures . The result of various pre-sowing treatments showed that seeds soaked in concentrated H2SO4 treatment appeared the highest germination percentage, higher value of plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and stem girth. The MS medium containing 1mg/l 2, 4-D was the best for callus induction of stem explants. The addition of 50 mg /l citric acid to the MS medium was effective for reducing browning of callus than other treatments. However, the viability percent recorded the maximum (87.76%) on the 9th day while the concentration of viable cells per ml reached the higher record (137.5 viable cell/ml) at the 12th and cell viability remains (≈ 68.39%) throughout 18 days of culture

Carolina. Dear Sir ;- Thru the kindness of Mr.Jessup,Associate Editor of the "Outing Magazine",we are indebted for your present address. Knowing of your fame as a writer,camper and outdoor apostle,we are taking this opportunity to address you,believing you would be interested in a new beverage combining all the good and none of the injurious qualities of coffee and Asiatic tea, and are sending you,with our compliments,a pound sample of YERBA MATE. This tea,as you doubtless are aware,Is the national drink of South America,and while little known in this country at the present time will undoubtedly find much favor here in the States,as it has in Prance and England,where its fine qualities have already become recognized. Yerba Mate,which is sometimes called "Paraguay Tea",is,we understand,the only beverage which leaves absolutely no bad effects upon those who drink it in large or small quantities,and is devoid of those essential oils which act as irritants upon the human system. Consequently,as a tea for the camper, hunter,forest-ranger,fisherman — in fact all those who enjoy the outdoor life,Yerba Mate is the ideal beverage. After you have read thru the enclosed booklet and clipping,we would be pleased to have you try out the tea at your convenience. The writer,who also happens to be,to-date, one of your many unknown admirers,uses Yerba late in preference to the regular tea and coffee on all camping and hiking trips,and at home. We would be pleased to learn of your interest in this fine natural South American product, and remain, Yours very truly, CHAS.W.JACOB & ALLISON per (^qyt^y^^^^y^e^

  • incubation and fermentation of african Locust Beans parkia biglobosa in production of dawadawa
    Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 2007
    Co-Authors: D I Gernah, C U Inyang, N L Ezeora
    Abstract:

    The effect of the following incubation materials: "gmelina" (Gmelina arborea) leaves, banana (Musa sapienta) leaves, jute bag and polythene bag on the fermentation rate and acceptability of fermented African Locust Beans "dawadawa " was investigated. Fermentation was carried out at 30 and 35C for 72 h. Fermentation rate was determined as a function of change in pH. Samples fermented inside gmelina leaves showed the highest fermentation rate at both temperatures followed by samples from banana leaves, polythene and jute bags, respectively. Proximate analysis showed an increase in protein, crude fat and moisture contents with corresponding decrease in the carbohydrate content during fermentation. Sensory evaluation showed that samples fermented at 35C were more acceptable with that of gmelina leaves being the most acceptable, followed by banana leaves, polythene and jute bags, respectively.
