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

Aboveground and Belowground Insect Herbivory Changes Maize‐Wireworm Interactions via Root Volatile Cues

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying

Nutritive assessment of sorghum-ogi plantain flour weaning food

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
The high rate of malnutrition in children is exclusively attributed to non-affordability of nursing mothers from low-income population to meet the high prices of commercial weaning foods. This has largely affected the dietary status of infant when they reach weaning stage.

Wheat-plantain flour blends enriched with velvet beans flours: Vitamins and mineral composition

Research Journal of Food Science and Nutrition
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been the major ingredient in the production of different kind of foods but relatively low in total protein especially in lysine and other amino acids, which could be supplemented by other nutrient dense flours to produce composite flours. This would reduce the over dependence on the importation of wheat.
