Screening of Moulds from Soil for Pectinase Production

Ikani Eleojo^*, Ado S. A., Abdullahi, I.O

Enzymes are increasingly being used in different industrial processes globally as a result of their extreme efficiency and highly specific bio-catalytic activities. Pectinases are among the most important industrial enzymes and their demand is increasing by the day hence the need to search for cheap and readily available sources of the enzyme. T...

Influence of pH and Storage Period on the Antibacterial Susceptibility of Enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus in Pasteurized Cow Milk during Low Temperature Storage

Bello, S^*, Whong, C.M.Z, Abdullahi, I.O

Food preservation processes are usually applied with the aim of slowing down or preventing spoilage and pathogenic bacteria in food materials. This involves the application of one or more environmental stresses (or hurdles) in the form of extremes of temperature, pH, and the manipulation of other optimal growth conditions.Environmental stress th...

Profiles of aflatoxin biosynthetic key genes in non aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus isolated from in-process wheat flour from parts of Northern Nigeria

Wartu, J.R.^*, Whong, C.M.Z, Abdullahi, I.O, Ameh, J.B

Aflatoxigenic molds are strains that produce aflatoxins. This study used yeast extract sucrose agar supplemented with 0.3% beta methyl cyclodextrin and 0.6% sodium desoxycholate to differentiate between aflatoxigenic and atoxigenic strains. ELISA and multiplex PCR techniques were also employed to assess aflatoxin production and detect key aflatoxin...
