Abstract: The continuous emergence of new strains and variants of disease causing pathogens as well as high cost of standard drugs and nutraceuticals makes the sustained search for alternative medicines and sustainable local sources of essential food nutrients a necessity for man. In the present study, a multi-herbal formula-MHB-21 composed of extracts from various organs of four selected medicinal plants was subjected to phytochemical analysis (to evaluate the constituent alkaloid fractions) as well as proximate and mineral evaluations. The alkaloid fractions of the herbal formula were analyzed by gas chromatography,the percentage composition of the individual components, obtained from electronic integration using flame ionization detector (FID). Proximate composition of the product.....

Abstract: This study appraised the current municipal solid waste management practice in Warri and Environs. Over the recent times, Warri metropolitan city is experiencing speedy urbanization leading to overcrowding and the development of slums and unorganised settlements with impoverished waste management practices. Urban denizen generally burn more resources than rural denizen, and so produce large amount of solid wastes. The research used quantitative research techniques to determine the status of municipal solid waste management practice in Warri and Environs.......

Abstract: Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) is key factor for quality learning. Taking into account the time spent in Schools, the healthiness of the Schools determines, in part, the Health and well-being of the Students. In Niger, unfortunately many Schools lacks and / or have insufficiency of WASH Facilities (Water Supply Infrastructure, Hand Washing Facilities and Gender Friendly Toilets), which makes these very important Environments for Students Mental development......

Abstract: A total of 25 different campus foods samples were purchased randomly from four different vendors in Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Nigeria. The samples were brought in ice to the laboratory for bacteriological analysis. Pour plate technique was used .Serial dilutions of the samples were used after one ml from each tube was pipetted into a nutrient agar plates and incubated aerobically and anaerobically for 24 hours at 370C. The plates were examined for growth. Sub-culturing of colonies from the growth was done on bacteriological agar. All screened samples had levels of bacterial growth ranging from 1.11 x 10³ – 6.1 x 103CFU/ml. Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Rhizopus were isolated and identified from the food samples..

Abstract: Field infiltration assessment of soils are no doubt a very labour intensive and time-consuming exercise, but with the use of an infiltration model, estimation and prediction of soil infiltration capacity are made easier. Estimation of soil infiltration capacity and evaluation of Philip model capacity to simulate infiltration of three landuses namely Artificial Forest (AF), Coconut Plantation (CC) and Arable Crop Cultivated Land (CL) were carried out in an ultisol in a humid rainforest zone of Rivers State in Southern Nigeria. Field infiltration was carried out in three replicates for each landuse using the double ring infiltrometer. Some physical properties were also determined. The mean values were fitted into the Philip model to derive model simulate equation for cumulative infiltration. The......

Abstract: The present study was concerned with the preparation of potato flour with various treatments and formulation of noodles incorporating potato flours as supplement to wheat flour. Four types of potato flours were prepared by treating the raw potato slices as blanched, blanched plus potassium meta- bisulphite (KMS), boiled and smashed and one as control without any treatment. Only blanched plus KMS treated potato flour was used because its colour and flavour was good. Various substitution levels such as 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of potato flour was used in the formulations of noodles in conjunction with wheat flour. The raw potato, potato flour, wheat, wheat flour, rice, rice flour, prepared noodles were analyzed for their composition. For noodles the highest nutritional compositions......
