Abstract Freshly plucked fruits are rich sources of several nutrients including vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and sugar. However, not all fruits have high contents of these nutrients. The ascorbic acid and reducing sugar contents of ten selected fruits (watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), apple (Malus domestica), orange (Citrus sinensis), guava (Psidium guajava), coconut (Cocos nucifera), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), avocado (Persea americana), pawpaw (Carica papaya), pineapple (Ananas comosus), and banana

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the phytonutrients components of banana fruits and that of their peel extracts.Methods: Two (2) banana fruit types; Yoruba (local) and Igbo banana and their peel extracts were evaluated in this researchResults: The two banana types revealed the presence of some bioactive compounds such as like phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycoside, terpenoid, tannin, saponin, carotenoids, potassium, sodium and fibre at varying concentrations. The phytonutrients analysis of the banana fruits samples showed that Alkaloids had a mean range between 0.17±0.002 an

Abstract:

The growth in chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, various types of cancers and cardiovascular diseases is an argument in favour of promoting fruit and vegetable consumption in Africa, with the main obstacle being the purchasing power. The objective of this study was to investigate the respective impacts of ripening stages and techniques of ripening on tomato fruit quality in order to recommend which of the conditions of ripening is better for optimum benefit of the tomatoes. The physiological and biochemical changes in tomato fruits of two varieties (Ibadan-Local and Roma cultivars) ri

Abstract:

Fruit juices contain phenolic compounds and vitamin C which possess antioxidant capacity. A knowledge of the effect of refrigerated storage on the total antioxidant characteristics of citrus fruits is necessary. Total antioxidant capacities (TAC) of nine Nigerian fruits were collected from a local market. The pulp and seed free juices were obtained using a Gallenkamp juicer. The fresh fruit juices namely; Green Apple, carrot, Grape, Mango (Mangifera indica), ?Bush mango‘(Irvinga gabonesis), Orange, pawpaw, pineapple and watermelon were stored in plastic containers and refrigerated at 20C for 0

Abstract:

Soil is a part of the earth that is made up of various mixtures, including organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. Because soil is used to cultivate foods for animals worldwide, it plays a critical role in the global cultivation of wheat, rice, mustard, vegetables, and fruits, among other crops. Nigerian agriculture uses this soil, and the physical and chemical conditions of the land make it necessary to implement other management practices properly. For this reason, the physicochemical study of soil is very significant because it considers both the

AbstractIn developing countries, a substantial amount of perishable and often highly nutritious commodities, such as fruits and vegetables, are lost after harvest, mainly caused by the lack of key infrastructures, such as electricity and cold chain facilities. On the other hand, the world has recently seen the potential of solar power in decarbonizing economies and transforming rural livelihoods in developing countries. A new technology, such as solar power photovoltaics, is highly divisible and, therefore, can be easily introduced to overcome the lack of sustainable electricity supply. In 202

Abstract:

The continuous increase in the number of older people and the gradual erosion of the extended family system which used to cater to them are alarming. While older people in much of the developed countries have embraced old people's homes as an alternative, the same cannot be said of older people in Nigeria who still believed that it is the duty of the family to accommodate them. The chapter examined the perception of older people about living in old people's home in some selected local government areas in Osun State, Nigeria. The study showed that their perception about living in old people's h

Abstract:

Climate change, conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath have caused a sharp increase in food insecurity globally. Reducing food loss - a decrease in the quantity and/or quality of food that takes place from production through to processing - in places where food insecurity is most severe has the potential to be a win-win for food security, climate outcomes, and for commercially driven agribusinesses. This report reviews the common drivers of food loss in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which include inadequate storage, lack of cold chain, and poor post-harvest and distribution
