Abstract: Study of various plant species present in particular area helps in understanding plant diversity of that area. Present study focuses on area of Raipur city. Atal Nagar, Naya Raipur is the administrative capital of Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh came into existence on 1stNovember 2000.It is situated 21°14'14" North latitude,81°38'15"East longitude. This state is situated in the central part of India. Since its declaration as State Capital, many development and construction projects have been initiated. With increase in its population, city area has also increased. This study efforts to enumerate the diversity of roadside plants of the Raipur City as well as the Capital City of Atal Nagar, Naya Raipur. Planting trees on road side is an ancient practice, shady and fruits bearing trees were planted on roadside since ancient times. With the progress of civilization, there has been an unprecedented.........

Abstract: Bread samples were produced with 5 % and 10 % mushroom powder separately and bread without mushroom served as the control. The bread samples were analysed for functional properties, nutrient composition, and sensory qualities. The bread samples were stored for 6 days (28 oC ± 2) and the total fungi and total bacteria were determined at day zero and at every 48 h during storage. Data generated was subjected to analysis of variance (P ˂ 0.05) while means were separated by Duncan multiple range tests. Results showed that there was no significant difference in the specific volume and bread weight of the mushroom samples and the control. The protein, ash, fat, crude fibre and moisture content increased while carbohydrate decrease with increased percentage of mushroom. The control had the lowest moisture (16.50 %), crude protein (9.28 %), crude fat (14.70%), crude fibre (0.89) and......

Abstract: Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials such as fibres, yarns and fabric with the objective of achieving color with desired fastness. Dyes are obtained either naturally or from synthetic sources. Disposal of dyes into aquatic environment causes serious damage and may be toxic to aquatic organisms. They can cause immune suppression, reproductive failure or acute poisoning. It also upsets the biological activity in aquatic life and also the photosynthesis process of aquatic plants and algae. Physical methods like filtration, flocculation has been used widely but it is expensive and discharges chemicals into the stream which is again toxic. Use of microorganisms for dye degradation has been in practice which gives effective results in a cost effective and efficient way. The study explains the use of bacteria and yeast in dye degradation in a less amount of time yet an effective one and......

Abstract: This study was aimed to determine the levels of pesticides residues in water and fish from lake Njuwa Yola Adamawa State Nigeria. The water sample was subjected to liquid- liqiud extraction method while the fish samples were subjected to soxhlet extration for eight hours using dichloromethane and n-hexane mixture. The extrats were later analysed for organocholorine pesticide residues using Gas-Chromotography coupled with mass spectrometer (GS-MS). The result of insectides shows mean concentration (μg/L) of pesticides residues in water were Endosulfan 1 (0.92μg/l), Endrin (0.82μg/l), Alpha-BHC (0.57μg/l), Carbaryl (0.37μg/l), Diazinon (0.19μg/l) and Cypermethrin (0.15μg/l). However, in herbicides Di-allate was detected (0.55μg/l), Simazine (0.41μg/l) and Butachlor (0.28μg.....

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the level of Monuron and Diuron herbicide contamination in water, sediment and farmed fish in Côte d'Ivoire. Water, sediment and fish samples were collected monthly from February to July 2017 in the tilapia cages and ponds Oreochromis niloticus from three fish farms. In these samples, residues of Monuron and Diuron were determined through high performance liquid chromatography. The results revealed that the water, sediments and fish of the farms studied are contaminated with both types of herbicides. Monuron was frequently detected in water (88%) and in fish (72%).....

Abstract: Candies which are sugar confectionaries are known to be poor nutritionally. Thus, this study aimed to improve nutritional quality of candy by inclusion of Hibiscus sabdariffa extract.Candy was produced with 5% and 10% H. sabdariffa aqueous extract respectively. The nutrient composition and antioxidant activities of the samples and that of the commercial candy were determined and sensory qualities were evaluated using 10-membered panel. Data generated were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and means were separated using Duncan multiple range tests.Nutrient composition of the samples was significantly different with sample containing 10% of H. sabdariffa having the highest protein (4.53 % ± 0.06), crude fat (1.94 % ± 0.02), crude fibre (0.026 % ± 0.02), ash (0.94 % ± 0.02), gross energy (0.74 kcal/g ± 0.03) and vitamin C (1.15 % ±0.02) content. While the commercial.....
