This study describes what did and did not work in the prioritization of preferred traits within the value chain of yam and associated food products (boiled and pounded yam) in Nigeria. Demand-led breeding protocols have enhanced participatory methods along gender lines to increase the clarity of information on the yam traits preferred by farmers an...

Open Access Article / BACKGROUND Nigeria and Cameroon are multi-ethnic countries with diverse preferences for food characteristics. The present study aimed to inform cassava breeders on consumer-prioritized eba quality traits. Consumer testing was carried out using the triadic comparison of technologies (tricot). Diverse consumers in villages, town...

We study the impact of endowments and expectations on reference point formation and measure the value of food safety certification in the context of fish trading on real markets in Nigeria. In our field experiment, consumers can trade a known food item for a novel food item that is superior in terms of food safety––or vice versa. Endowments matter ...

BACKGROUND Food quality traits related to the genetics of yam influence the acceptability for its consumption. This study aimed at identifying genetic factors underlying sensory and textural quality attributes of boiled and pounded yam, the two dominant food products from white Guinea yam. RESULTS A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a panel o...

Background: Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is the staple food of many populations in the intertropical zone where it is grown. The lack of phenotyping methods for tuber quality hinders the adoption of new genotypes from the breeding programs. Recently, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used as a reliable tool to characterize the chemical composi...

Despite African consumers under-consuming nutrient dense fruits and vegetables (FV) and animal products (AP), and the farm production and supply chains of these products are fraught with constraints that keep them from operating optimally, we find abundant recent evidence of dynamism in these sectors. To wit: (1) consumption of these products in le...

To explore nurse's, physician's and family member's experiences of withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment in an intensive care unit. In South Korea, withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment is legalised by the enforcement of the Hospice, Palliative Care and Life-sustaining Treatment Decision-making Act (2018). The Act (201...

Consumers mediate nutrient cycling through excretion and egestion across most ecosystems. In nutrient-poor tropical waters such as coral reefs, nutrient cycling is critical for maintaining productivity. While the cycling of fish-derived inorganic nutrients via excretion has been extensively investigated, the role of egestion for nutrient cycling ha...

Uvod: Degustacije spadajo med improvizirano ponudbo živil in so eden od načinov uvrščanja le-teh na trg. Osnovni namen je predstavitev in s tem ponudba živila širši javnosti. Izvajajo se lahko v različnih predstavitvenih okoljih. Ponudba živil v obliki degustacij v zakonodaji ni specifično definirana. Izvajanje degustacij tako zaradi načina izvedbe...

BACKGROUND The consumption of foods such as sweet potato and cassava with high levels of carotenoids is a possible solution to reduce vitamin A deficiency. In this study, we evaluated the kinetics of thermal degradation of carotenoids. The content of carotenoids was quantified by HPLC, first in fresh material, then in flour, and finally in bakery p...
