Effect of different reheating processes and conditions on the nutritional, functional, and microbiological properties of cow meat.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different reheating methods and conditions on the proximate composition, mineral content, oil quality, and functional and microbiological properties of cow meat. For this, a survey was carried out to identify the reheating methods used in the community. For this study, 8.

The effect of soursop-flower-enriched fried palm olein on some biochemical and hematological parameters of rats.

This work set out to, first, assess the role of soursop flower extracts (SFE) in limiting palm olein oxidation during the production of plantain chips, before ascertaining the effect of these soursop-flower-enriched fried palm olein on some biochemical and hematological parameters of rats. The extracts were added to 1.5 kg of oil at 1000, 1400, and 1800 ppm, while BHT at 200 ppm served as a positive control (PO+BHT), and the oil without additives was the negative control (PO).

SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and triple co-infection.

Tuberculosis (TB)-related death has increased for the first time in a decade due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), globally. People living with HIV (PLWHIV) might be at a higher risk of developing COVID-19-related complications. Herein, we describe the first case of a patient surviving from SARS-CoV-2-TB-HIV triple co-infection in Cameroon.

Effect of boiling and oven roasting on some physicochemical properties of sunflower seeds produced in Far North, Cameroon.

The effects of different processing methods on proximate composition, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, lipid oxidation, and mineral contents of sunflower seeds produced in Far North Region of Cameroon were evaluated. Mean moisture, ash, lipid, protein, fiber, and carbohydrate contents of raw sunflower seeds were 6.60%, 2.

Effect of oven and sun drying on the chemical properties, lipid profile of soursop () seed oil, and the functional properties of the defatted flour.

Soursop seeds present a potential source of edible oil production. This work was aimed at determining the effect of oven and sun drying on the chemical properties and lipid profile of soursop seed oil as well as the functional properties of the defatted seed flour. The chemical properties, lipid profiles, and functional properties of soursop seeds dried for 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 hr, and 0, 1, 3, and 5 days, respectively, in the oven and on the sun using time T0 as the control sample were determined using oil quality indices, gas phase chromatography, and functionality tests for flours, respectively, with a view of highlighting the potentials of the defatted seed.

Alteration of the lipid of red carp () during frozen storage.

The aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stability of oil extracted from red carp fish frozen up to 9 months at -18°C. To assess oil stability of red carp fish, the analytical indexes and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used. These methodologies used provided similar conclusions.

Effects of Oxalis barrelieri L. (Oxalidaceae) aqueous extract on diarrhea induced by type 1 in rats.

Aim: Oxalis barrelieri is a medicinal plant commonly used in Cameroon, for the treatment of many diarrheal diseases. The antibacterial properties of O barrelieri aqueous extract (WOb) against Shigella dysenteriae type 1 were investigated in vitro and in vivo.

Methods: ntibacterial activity was evaluated in vitro by disc diffusion method and by macrodilution method.

Flying between raindrops: Strong seasonal turnover of several Lepidoptera groups in lowland rainforests of Mount Cameroon.

Although seasonality in the tropics is often less pronounced than in temperate areas, tropical ecosystems show seasonal dynamics as well. Nevertheless, individual tropical insects' phenological patterns are still poorly understood, especially in the Afrotropics. To fill this gap, we investigated biodiversity patterns of Lepidoptera communities at three rainforest localities in the foothills of Mount Cameroon, West Africa, one of the wettest places in the world.

Effect of smoking and refrigeration on lipid oxidation of : A fish commonly consumed in Cameroon.

Changes in lipids of herring () muscle during different smoking methods and 9 days of refrigeration at 4°C were investigated. The proximate analysis of raw herring revealed that the total lipid, the total protein content and the crude ash were 10.20%, 69.

Effect of Boiling and roasting on lipid quality, proximate composition, and mineral content of walnut seeds produced and commercialized in Kumba, South-West Region Cameroon.

The effect of boiling and roasting on the lipid quality, proximate composition, and mineral content of African walnut seeds () was assessed. Results indicated that the quality of walnut oil significantly ( < .05) reduces with the treatments.
