Influence of different drying techniques on the quality and physicochemical properties of Ghana‐sourced turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) samples

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the influence of four drying techniques—freeze drying (FZD), microwave drying (MCD), oven drying (OVD), and sun drying (SUD)—on the bioactive, nutritional, and physical properties of turmeric. Using standard analytical procedures, the samples were examined for antioxidant activity (DPPH and ABTS assays), total ...

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and
