Abstract

Cassia fistula is a well-known plant species for the medicinal use of it leaves, barks and flowers. It has been identified as a rich source of phenolics which can be attributed to its medicinal properties. However, these phenolics should be extracted appropriately to effectively utilize them in various applications. This study focused on maximizing the extraction yield of total phenolics and total anthocyanins along with maximum 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity from edible flowers of C.fistula as a function of solid:liquid ratio, ethanol concentration, extraction temperature and time. The data was subjected to response surface methodology and the corresponding second order polynomial models were generated. The results showed that the polynomial models for all responses were significant, did not show lack of fit and presented determination of coefficients above 95%. This indicates the suitability of the models for prediction purposes. Using desirability function, the optimum extraction process parameters to obtain maximum values of all responses was found to be 29.56% ethanol, 1:45 solid to liquid ratio at extraction temperature of 31°C and time 24 minutes. Under these optimal conditions, the experimental values were in close agreement with the predicted values and did not show any significant difference (p<0.05). The identified optimized conditions could be used to extracts phenolics from C.fistula flowers in a cost effective and efficient manner.

Abstract

Local radio has played a significant role in keeping local cocoa farmers informed about their farming activities. However, the experiences of these local farmers who should be the real owners of community radio have not been captured. It would be possible to increase cocoa production if the experiences of local cocoa farmers were given the attention needed. Using a quantitative research approach, the multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 385 respondents. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. Results show that farmers were undecided about their reliance on community radio and the role it plays in disseminating agricultural information. However, they understood the agricultural-related information disseminated on community radio. They agreed that the content and presentation of community radio programs were suitable for them but were undecided on the transmission quality and community involvement. Interference from local leaders was the most severe challenge facing farmers’ use of community radio. In order to improve extension delivery there is a need for policymakers and agricultural extension stakeholders to implement programs that will encourage farmers to set up and rely on community radio as a great alternative source of information for their farming activities. This is also necessary to improve the currently low contact of extension agents with farmers, thus, reducing the extension farmer ratio.

Abstract

Tobacco leaves have active compounds such as phenols and alkaloids that can be used as antibacterial and antiseptic because they can damage the cell components of microorganisms. Tobacco leaf extract in hand sanitizer gel has been shown to have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Eschericia coli bacteria at a minimum concentration of 0.25%. Hand sanitizer is an antiseptic product that is used to clean hands and is preferred because it is practical, has a cooling and dries quickly when compared to hand soap. To make hand sanitizer products that are safe for the skin, various chemical compounds are used as building blocks, including CMC-Na and glycerin. CMC-Na acts as a gelling agent and glycerin has a role as a vehicle. This study aims to obtain the optimum formula for hand sanitizer gel preparations with variations in the concentration ratio of CMC-Na and glycerin using Simplex Lattice Design (SLD) and to determine the effect of variations in the concentration ratio of CMC-Na and glycerin on physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the results of the optimum formula for hand sanitizer gel preparations. The research method used in this study is a type of laboratory experiment using Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The data obtained from the research results were processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with a 95% confidence level and continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there were 3 optimum formulas for hand sanitizer gel of tobacco leaf extract based on the desirability value, 0.912 (Formula 1), 0.457 (Formula 4) and 0.653 (Formula 5). The variation of the concentration ratio of CMC-Na and glycerin in the optimum formula showed that CMC-Na had the most dominant influence on physical (homogeneity), chemical (total flavonoid) and microbiological (antibacterial and antiseptic) characteristics. Meanwhile, glycerin has the most dominant influence on product viscosity stability. The three optimum formulas have homogeneous gel characteristics.

Abstract

Irrigation water is one of the major limiting factors that affect crop production in Ethiopia. Irrigation scheduling is an important technique for quantifying water required by plants at a particular interval to improve irrigation efficiency. The objective of this study was to evaluate the irrigation scheduling effects on potato yield and water productivity. The study was designed in four experimental treatments as: 5, 7, 9 days intervals, and Farmer practice arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The two years combined yield results showed that a maximum yield of 21.99ton/ha was obtained from 9 days irrigation interval treatment and a minimum yield of 15.80ton/ha was obtained from Farmer’s practice. Maximum and minimum water productivity of  3.34 kg/m3 and 2.4 kg/m3 were obtained from 9-day irrigation intervals and farmers’ practice, respectively. From these results, it can be observed that to attain the maximum potato yield and water productivity in the study area, it is better to use 9-days irrigation interval with a determined irrigation water amount.

Abstract

Cassava leaves are a good source of minerals Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, vitamins A and B2 (riboflavin). In addition, cassava leaves contain bioactive compounds that are beneficial to the body, namely chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a natural green dye that is generally found in plants whose composition is contained in the chloroplasts. The amount of chlorophyll in cassava leaves is classified as good, namely 18.141 mg/l. This is one of the potentials to utilize cassava leaves as natural dyes. Production of cassava leaf coloring powder using foam mat drying. Foam mat drying is a method of foaming technique by adding foam. The foaming agent used is tween 80 which can produce foam or froth and speed up drying. Chlorophyll can be easily degraded due to exposure to heat (temperature), acids, light and alcohol. The use of NaHCO3 can increase the levels of chlorophyll in the leaves. In addition, the use of MgCO3 can maintain the green color of leaf chlorophyll. The purpose of this study was to determine the interaction of tween 80 variations and types of bases on the physical and chemical profiles of cassava leaf natural dye powder. The research design used a laboratory experimental method with two variations, namely tween 80 and base type. In this study there were four treatment combinations. This study used several test parameters including physical and chemical tests, namely dissolving time, color (L, a, b), total dissolved solids, pH, water content, and chlorophyll content. The results showed that the variation of tween 80, the type of base and the interaction of the two had a significant effect on the b color value and the L color value in cassava leaf natural dye powder.
