Nutritional Assessment And Chemical Composition Of Raw And Defatted Luffa Cylindrica Seed Flour, A. S. Abitogun, A. O. Ashogbon

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

The raw and defatted Luffa cylindrical seed flours were characterized with respect to their proximate, mineral and energy using standard analytical technique. The range values of the proximate analysis for raw and defatted samples were; crude protein (42.17-70.65%), moisture (5.69-6.42%), fat content (1.53- 33.64%), ash content (3.87-3.92%), crude fibre (1.95-2.80%), carbohydrate (12.68-14.68%) and the available energy range was (1507.53-2177.13KJ). The minerals determined and their range values in mg/100g for raw and defatted samples were; K (910-960), Na (28-31), Zn (0.86-1.50), Mg (16-18), Fe (4.67- 6.23), P (680-660), Ca (40.24-43.44), Mn (4.20-4.47) and Cu (1.10-1.24). The results revealed that crude protein …

Farmers' Attitudes Towards On-Farm Cultivation Of Indigenous Fruit Trees In Adwari Sub-County, Lira District, Uganda, Jacob Godfrey Agea, Joseph Obua, Daniel Waiswa, Clement Akais Okia, J. B. L. Okullo

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

This study was conducted in Adwari sub-county, Lira district to (i) determine the conservation status and threats to indigenous fruit trees (IFTs), (ii) assess farmers’ attitudes towards IFT cultivation, (iii) documents local knowledge on propagation and management of IFTs, and (iv) identify opportunities and constraints to promotion of IFTs cultivation. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to a total of 120 randomly selected respondents. MINITAB statistical package was used to analyze the data. Logistic regression analysis was performed to show the influence of socio-economic characteristics on farmers’ towards their attitudes to plant IFTs. The population of IFTs was found to be generally …

Preliminary Survey Of Medicinal Plants Used In Treatment Of Animal Trypanosomosis In Kaduna State, Nigeria, V. A. Maikai, U. Abubakar, A. A. Salman, T. N. Inuwa

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

A preliminary survey of medicinal plants used in the treatment of animal trypanosomiasis in Kaduna State, Nigeria, was carried out. Three hundred questionnaires were distributed and interviews were conducted with livestock owners, livestock traders, herb sellers, herdsmen and agricultural extension workers in six local government areas namely, Birnin Gwari, Kachia, Kafanchan, Makarfi, Saminaka and Soba - Zaria. Plants commonly used included Khaya senegalensis 23.3% (70), Terminalia avicennioides 16.3% (49), Ximenia americana 12.7% (38), Anona senegalensis 10.7% (32) and Azadirachta indica 9.3% (28). The parts of the plants used included leaves, fresh bark, and roots prepared by either soaking or boiling …

Cradle To Grave: A Study Of Sustainable Food Practices In A University Setting, Ryan Babich, Sylvia Smith

Posters

The goal of this research was to understand the process of food service sustainability through a limited “cradle-to-grave” analysis of Southern Illinois University’s campus dining facilities. The process of researching the dining halls’ sustainability was broken into three separate stages: food mileage analysis, food waste analysis, and vermicomposting analysis.

The first stage examined the food mileage for each food item. Using a mileage calculator and a carbon footprint calculator, we were able to determine miles traveled and the amount of CO2 produced by the university. Results showed that the dining halls were 15.67% sustainable in its food purchasing process. The …

Phytochemical Screening Of Methanolic Extract And Antibacterial Activity Of Active Principles Of Hepatoprotective Herb, Eclipta Alba, Sunita Dalal, Sudhir K. Kataria, K. V. Sastry, Svs Rana

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Aerial parts of Eclipta alba are used traditionally for the treatment of several diseases of liver, skin and stomach. Methanolic extract and active principle compound of a well known Indian hepatoprotective herb, Eclipta alba was tested for in vitro antimicrobial studies. It was evaluated using zone of inhibition studies and minimum inhibitory concentration. The extract exhibited activity against all six strains studied. Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, coumestans, saponins and alkaloids etc. Ethylacetate fraction and further pure isolated wedelolactone showed enhanced antimicrobial activity. Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium were most susceptible. Shigella …

Effect Of Cadmium On Seed Viability Of Vigna Unguiculata, Henry Omoregie Egharevba

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Cadmium a heavy metal pollutant of growing global concern was investigated for its effect on grain seeds viability using Vigna unguiculata. The Cowpea seeds were germinated after treatment in solution containing varying concentration of cadmium chloride (CdCl2.H2O). The concentrations of cadmium (Cd) in the solution used for the treatment were 0.00ppm, 0.80ppm, 8.00ppm, 40.00ppm, 100.00ppm and 180.00ppm. The percentage germination at 120 hours germination time and the rate of increment in shoot height between 120 and 168 hours were determined. Results shows that the percentage germination and rate of increment in shoot height decreased as cadmium level in the treatment …

Time Of Weed Removal Influence On Vegetative And Reproductive Yield Of Two Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata (L) Walp) Varites, Ife Brown And Tvx3236, K. S. Olorunmaiye

Ethnobotanical Leaflets

Influence of time of weed removal on both vegetative and reproductive yield of two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) varieties, Ife brown and TVX3236, was investigated on a farm land at the University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria during 2004 and 2005 growing seasons. Five hand weeding periods at 2,4,6,8 Weeks After Planting (WAP) and weedy control, were carried out. Hand weeding at 2WAP produced best cowpea dry matter ranging from 6.33±2.08 to 13.37±2.47g in both varieties. Highest leaf number was obtained in the cowpea plots weeded at both 2 and 4 WAP ranging from 43.00±13.05 to 106.67±25.16 in both varieties. …

The Making Of The Supreme Court’S Free Exercise Clause Jurisprudence: Lessons From The Blackmun And Powell Papers In Bowen V. Roy, Paul E. Mcgreal

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

Providing keen insight into the evolution of the Supreme Court’s free exercise clause jurisprudence, this Article picks up the behind-the-scenes story as the Court turned from Jensen v. Quaring to the case of Bowen v. Roy. The Article examines the Court’s decision making process in Bowen using unpublished correspondence and draft opinions from the papers of Justices Harry Blackmun and Lewis Powell. These materials show the justices’ concern with a possible slippery slope if religious believers were exempt from generally applicable laws and regulations. That common concern pulled the justices in different directions, fracturing the Court and leaving no majority …
