ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disease that has continued to be a global heath and economic burden. Acarbose is an antidiabetic drug, which acts by inhibiting alpha amylase and alpha glucosidase; while gallic acid is a simple phenolic acid that is widespread in plant foods and beverages such as tea and wine.This...

CHAPTER ONE 1.0       INTRODUCTION Custard is a fine textured powdery food product made from corn starch. The corn starch used for the preparation of custard is basically a dense, powdery flour obtained from the endosperm protein of corn kernel (Duke, 1981). Custard is primarily consumed either as a breakfast cereal based food or wearing... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This work is aimed at the production of laundry starch, using locally sourced raw material (cassava tuber), by extraction of the starch granules from the tubers, 80kg of the harvested fresh cassava tubers were peeled and washed twice to remove dirt and earth. The peeled cassava tubers were re-weighed. 75kg of the peeled tubers was grated... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Native Starch was extracted from Aerial yam (Dioscorea bulbifera). The starch extracted was dried using oven (at 300C for 24 hours) and microwaved for (30, 45, 60 seconds). Starch obtained using different drying methods and conditions were analysed for their physicochemical, functional properties and pasting characteristics. Results... Continue Reading

(SORGHUM BICOLOR, WHITE VARIETY AND RED VARIETY) ABSTRACT Starch was extracted from two varieties of sorghum bicolor grains (white and red varieties) steeped for 6, 8 and 12 hours by wet milling method, the starch samples were analysed for yield, functional... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Microsphere drug delivery systems are used to protect sensitive drugs from enzymatic degradation in the body, for controlled release and tissue targeting of the drug of interest. Starch and products derived from starch modification, are increasingly gaining acceptance in microsphere drug delivery. They are less expensive, non-toxic,... Continue Reading

PRODUCTION OF STARCH FROM CASSAVA (M aihot esculanta ) AND ITS CROSS LINKED DERIVATIVES CHAPTER ONE 1.0     INTRODUCTION Starch can be obtained from cassava, sorghum, maize, sago and potatoes.

ABSTRACT Starch is a naturally occurring polymer found in parts of the plants such as leaves, stems, tubers, and fruits. It is a commonly used excipient in pharmaceutical formulations because of its availability, affordability and inertness. Cyperus esculentus (tiger nut) is widely cultivated in the country especially in the northern part of... Continue Reading
