Codigestion of POME and Cow Dung to produce biogas Abstract Palm oil mill effluent (POME) and cow manure (CM) are excellent substrates for biogas production. Biogas production potentials from POME and CM as a single substrate were extensively researched by many researchers. In this work, the biogas potentials from POME and CM as a single […]

Abstract Essential oils are considered to be direct metabolites produced in plant organs (such as secretion ducts or glandular trichomes) by intracellular biogenetic pathways. Plant seeds contain complex mixtures of over 3000 essential compounds, of which about 300 are of commercial importance. The objective of this study was to examine the essential oil composition of […]
Phytochemical Components of Struchium Sparganophora (Ewuro Odo) Leaf Abstract The effect of processing on the antioxidant properties and proximate composition of Struchium sparganophora leafy vegetable was evaluated. The processing included: abrasion with cold water (WH); abrasion and blanching with boiled water (WHH); abrasion with 10g of common salt (WS) and unprocessed vegetable (NP). Standard methods […]
Temporal and spartial distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the riverine ecosystem
Temporal and spartial distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the riverine ecosystem This study describes the richness and density of zooplankton across temporary pools in an intermittent river in Nigeria and evaluates the partitioning of diversity across different spatial scales during the wet and dry periods. Given the highly patchy nature of these pools it […]
