We have published an a priori protocol to develop this study. Protocols published in scientific journals were searched in MEDLINE/PubMed and Embase databases using the query terms 'Systematic review'[Title] AND 'protocol'[Title] from February 2011 to December 2017. Protocols registered at PROSPERO during the same period were obtained by web scraping all non-Cochrane records with a Python script. After excluding protocols with less than 90% fulfilled or duplicated, they were classified as published 'only in PROSPERO', 'only in journals', or in both 'journals and PROSPERO'. Results of data and metadata extraction using t...

Most conventional foods that are rich and balanced are scarce and expensive, and cannot be afforded by consumers in developing countries. Promoting tigernut consumption will play an imperative role in the health, nutrition, and economy of many developing countries. This review was intended to provide an overview on the nutritional and nutraceutical properties of various tigernut products. Also to provide information on the effects of various processing operations on the nutritional and functional properties of various tigernut products. Tigernut is rich in essential nutrients, numerous bioactive compounds with proven health benefits were found in all tigernut cultivars. Genetic variations, environmental and growing conditions make the yellow, brown, and black cultivars of tigernut to have different physicochemical, phytochemicals and functional properties. Tigernut and its pr...

A large amount of protein is required by both humans and animals and this cannot be supplied by only conventional sources. This is because of the rapid increase in world population. The present sources of protein will not meet global protein demand in years to come. Scientists explore the production of single-cell protein (SCP), as an alternative source of protein, through the utilization of wastes and low-value materials. SCP can supply high-quality protein containing both essential and non-essential amino acids that can be utilized by humans and animals. Protein from microbial biomass is cheaper than animal proteins because the substrates used in the production are generally cheaper and more readily available. Moreover, the production process does not require arable land and the entire process can be completed within a short time. This article reviewed the process of S...

So it prevents damage to cell which can be caused by free radicals. Objective: This study was carried out to determine in vitro antioxidant potential, total phenolic content and total flavonoid content in flower and seed of Moringa oleifera. Results: Antioxidant activity of the extract was analysed by DPPH radical scavenging assay. Methanolic flower extract shows high potential free radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 425 μg/ml. compare to methanolic seed extract that showed no IC50 value. The highest phenolic and flavonoid contents were observed from methanolic flower extract which was 48.04±2.44mg/g GAE and 14.27±0.62mg/g QAE respectively. Conclusion: The result proves that Moringa oleifera is an excellent source of antioxidants that can be used to reduce the effect of oxidative damages.
