(Proceeding of AIC: Health and Life Sciences, 2018)
This research aimed to examine the chemical and microbiological characteristics of cocoa beans which
are used as a raw material in a small-scale chocolate factory in Pidie Jaya District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The ...
Variation among banana weevil cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) populations in Uganda as revealed by AFLP markers and corm damage differences
(Agriculture & Food Security., 2018-10-23)
The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) is a major production constraint of bananas and
plantains (Musa spp.) in the world. Differences in damage levels and pesticide response across regions led to the postulation
that ...
Primary school teacher trainees’ perceptions of the quality of support provided during mentoring
(Journal of Education and Entrepreneurship., 2018-09-01)
This study examined the Ugandan primary teacher trainees’ perceptions of the quality of support provided to them during their school practice/mentoring. Questionnaires were administered to 155 participants who had just ...
Corm damage caused by banana weevils Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) collected from different banana growing regions in Uganda
(Springer Nature: Agriculture & Food Security., 2018-10-19)
In this study, both healthy tissue culture plantlets and maiden suckers of the Nakitembe cultivar were
used to assess the damage level variation caused by banana weevils collected from different banana growing ...

The fatty acid composition of edible grasshopper Ruspolia differens (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) feeding on diversifying diets of host plants
(Wiley online Library: Entomological Research, 2018-12-12)
Ruspolia differens (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is a highly valued edible grasshopper species in Africa. However, the effects of plant diets on lipid content and fatty acid composition of R. differens are not ...
Bioeconomy and the production of novel food products from agro-industrial wastes and residues under the context of food neophobia
(AgBioForum, 2018)
Advances in bioeconomy lead to exploitation of wastes for the production of high added-value products. Sometimes, these products face consumer resistance due to a phenomenon known as "neophobia." The aim of this study was ...
Levels of antibiotic residues in cow's milk sold in commercial centers of Kampala city
(Kyambogo University (unpublished work), 2018-05)
Veterinary drug residues in milk represent a health risk for the consumer especially young
children. Prolonged exposure to antimicrobial residues in food and milk may lead to
antimicrobial resistance and other health ...
Lignosulfonate biomass derived N and S co-doped porous carbon for efficient oxygen reduction reaction
(Royal Society of Chemistry., 2018-06-26)
Finding sustainable, active, inexpensive, and stable electrocatalysts to replace Pt-based materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a significant challenge. Here we report the use of functionalized lignin ...
