(Wiley Online Library: Food Science & Nutrition, 2017-08-19)
Fresh juices rich in health and nutritional benefits are valued for their fresh flavor, taste, and aroma. These juices' quality however is affected by factors like temperature, light, and microbiological contamination ...
Physical activity, nutritional patterns and body weight status of members of the 9th parliament of Uganda
((Kyambogo University (unpublished work),, 2017-12)
Physical activity (PA) and nutritional patterns are major factors that determine body
weight status which in turn affects one's health status. The purpose of the study was to
assess the PA, nutritional patterns and body ...
Investigation of the compressive strength of ntawo ball clay fired to different temperatures for different holding times
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2017-12)
This study focused on ball clay from ntawo deposit from Mukono District, in central Uganda
