The fresh cassava were sources from Idodo in Nkanu Local Government of Enugu state. The weight of the cassava tuber were taken to be 31.50kg. After peeling and washing, it was divided into two equal parts which was 21.13kg for production of sample A and sample B respectively (edible and textile starch) which weighed 13.1kg. During this process, the temperature were obtained at 700c (617.4R). And the other properties of the cassava sam […]

Levels of noise generated from grinding machines were measured. Noise levels as high as 116dB was obtained. These levels of noise can be stressful that can result to fatigue. It is capable of causing temporary and permanent deaf. Noise spectra generated from grinding machines are mixture of low and high frequencies. Low and high frequencies noise can have negative effects on memory. The levels of noise generated from these machines are […]

This project (Construction Of A Simple Size Reduction Machine) It was constructed locally with the use of local materials and tools in I.M.T mechanical Engineering workshop. The various parts of the equipment were constructed separately using mild steel before finally coupled. During the construction, the conveyors and it’s housing were first constructed. It consists of a shaft with a helical rod wound round it. the hopper was measure […]
The purpose of this technical study was to do a design analysis in order to ascertain the performance and output capacity of a pedal propelled cassava grinding machine that is very efficient and affordable for rural farmers (dwellers) who cannot afford petrol and diesel engines as a prime mover for garri processing. In the design, the human expended for an average age man of 70kg (1501b) at a cycling speed range of 16km/h – 24km/h or 2 […]
ABSTRACT High consumption of bakery products such as cream-filled pastries may cause serious health risks and food poisoning to humans. Therefore, investigation of the microbial qualities of bakery products containing cream is necessary. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the microbial contaminations of cream-filled pastries collected from confectioneries located in six cities in Owerri province (Southeast of Nigeria) […]
