Changes in aroma, pectin and physical properties of ripening cooking bananas
(Kyambogo University, 2019-11)
Post-harvest losses are high in the cooking banana value chain in Uganda due to the short shelf life of the green bananas (6 to 10 days). The losses give rise to large amounts of solid wastes that later decompose into ...
Fatty acid composition of muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of freshwater fish from Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology., 2011)
Fish oils may differ in fatty acid (FA) composition depending on diet. Oils extracted from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver fish (Rastrineobola ...
Nucleotide degradation products, total volatile basic nitrogen, sensory and microbiological quality of Nile perch(Lates niloticus) fillets under chilled storage
(Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food sciences, 2012-11)
Degradation products of adenosine nucleotide and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) concentration provide means of ascertaining freshness of commercial fish products. A complementary sensory analysis has also been adopted ...
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 ...

Performance of Egg-Shell and Fish-Scale as Adsorbent Materials for Chromium (VI) Removal from Effluents of Tannery Industries in Eastern Uganda
(Open Access Library Journal, 2017-08-16)
The performance of egg-shells and fish-scales biomaterials in separating
chromium (VI) ions from tannery effluents obtained from tannery industries
in Jinja town of Eastern Uganda was investigated. Using crushed egg-shell ...
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 ...
